  • 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.

  • You can't.

    Software is too complicated to trust. Instead, like other posters have stated, try to work out the least risky storage mechanism.

    I'd make that offline backups.

    1. Download some encryption software,
    2. disconnect the computer from any networks,
    3. copy the video onto the computer,
    4. destroy the device that previously hosted the video,
    5. encrypt the video,
    6. copy the decryption key onto other media,
    7. copy the encrypted file onto a number of SD cards
    8. destroy the encrypting computer.
    9. Send a few copies of the encrypted file on SD cards to people unlikely to decrypt it.
    10. Retire to my log cabin in the woods.
  • Ugh. Go after the proceeds by hitting money laundering. Like BC said we need to:

    • Unexplained Wealth Orders could add a valuable new anti-money laundering tool. Civil forfeiture is already used much more readily than criminal prosecution but still requires a link to criminal activity, which may be hard to establish, especially where international transfers are involved. Unexplained Wealth Orders could be used to confiscate property where there is no evident legitimate source of funds, providing another civil process tool that does not rely on criminal prosecution or evidence of a crime.
    • Core federal anti-money laundering legislation and practice are in urgent need of reform. Improvements should be made by the federal government to the ability of FINTRAC to collect and analyze reports of suspicious transactions from all those involved in real estate, to provide information to those who can and will use it, including regulators, to provide feedback to reporting entities and to collect and report statistically on the full range of AML activities and their effectiveness

    etc

  • Yea, we don't know what happened in the phone call.

    True, but it's weird that Mexico got the exact same deal.

    The important part is that all of us don't forget what happened.

    You're totally right. We need to remove barriers to interprovincial trade and start looking for other trading partners. I hear the EU doesn't buy much of our aluminum. Maybe it's time for the feds to encourage that kind of export.

  • When you run httptap --

    <command>

    , httptap runs

    <command>

    in an isolated network namespace, injecting a certificate authority created on-the-fly in order to decrypt HTTPS traffic. Here is the process in detail:

    In linux, there is a kernel API for creating and configuring network interfaces. Conventionally, a network interface would be a physical ethernet or WiFi controller in your computer, but it is possible to create a special kind of network interface called a TUN device. A TUN device shows up to the system in the way that any network interface shows up, but any traffic written to it will be delivered to a file descriptor held by the process that created it. Httptap creates a TUN device and runs the subprocess in an environment in which all network traffic is routed through that device.
