At federal election time all parties get a list of all voters, and their contact information from Elections Canada. I assume it's true in Ontario as well.

You're seeing messages from the Conservatives because they're reasonably well organized and they're doing a decent job at fundraising.

The other parties could do it as well, but aren't. I assume it's because they don't have a decent election committee/budget, but I have no evidence of that.

The squiggly lines haven't changed too much. Hopefully we'll see more movement after the Liberals (or NDP 🧌) get a new leader and a new strategy.

Phew. Glad that bug got papered over 9999 years ago, so we won't have to deal with it.

That wouldn't stop a true ethical hacker

I guess mel isn't going to use you for their self hosting needs either, then.

How much pixel peeping did it take to find that?

Why bother?

• If he'd said it front of the media, it would have been a headline.
• The two stories I've seen about this bury the hot mic part after the national sovereignty bit.
• There isn't any level of protection that he'd get by saying it to a room of millionaires and billionaires instead of the media.
• Googling for "hot mic accident" shows a surprising number of results.

Without evidence to the contrary, Occam's razor (and a backhand with Hanlon's razor) both suggest it was a goof by the sound tech rather than unnecessary theatrics.

Made of your own skull

"Mr. Trump has it in mind that the easiest way to do it is absorbing our country and it is a real thing. In my conversations with him on…," Trudeau said, before the microphone cut out.

...

After the opening address, media were ushered out of the room, when a microphone that was left on picked up on what was only meant to be heard behind closed doors.

This is wild:

1. Trudeau didn't want to say that in front of the media (even though at least one of the people in the room was going to leak it after).
2. We're still having hot mic accidents.

Internal Trade Minister Anita Anand was asked during a news conference on Wednesday if "interprovincial trade barriers [could] be dealt with, wiped away in 30 days?"

"The short answer to your question is yes," she responded.

We're down to 25 days. Is the answer still yes?

Trolling aside, that sounds like an excellent goal. I've seen news articles about Canada's internal trade barriers since the 1980s, but this is the first time I've seen anything approaching movement on the issue.

Again, nobody's talking about the porn instance.

Trudeau recently DM’ed “Is your roommate gone?” to New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern,

Apparently that article was posted 7 hours ago, in 2023.

I like Square Home. It looks like the old Metro UI (lots of tiles), and has nice large touch targets. And it supports widgets.

It isn't foss, sadly.
