It should be mandatory for email providers in the #EU to offer a settings flag to disable cold emails. When this flag is set and ignored by companies, they could then be sued as a #privacy violation

it should be illegal in the #EU to ask users to disable their ad blocker just like it is illegal to ask applicants with an uterus whether they are pregnant or about to be in a job interview.

I think @[email protected] would be wise to take note of this Guardian article which makes a good case against further oil and gas exploration thanks in part to the US-Israel war on Iran. Right, @[email protected]? 😉 #cdnpoli #NDP #LPC #GPC #CPC

Are Privacy Opt-Outs Useless? #privacy #GPC #Meta #Google #Microsoft #tracking

Big Tech preaches privacy. Meanwhile the signal that says 'do not track' arrives at their servers and they issue a two-year cookie in response.

Good to see the NDP in second with 18.9% of the vote in one of the by-elections last night.

The polarization between the Bloc and Liberals in Terrebonne is pretty stunning but at least there was a clear winner this time! The CPC got just 3% and the other three barely added up to 1% there!

The Toronto ridings were at least a little more spread out, but both remain solid Liberal seats with more than 60% of the vote.

I don’t like how the Liberals gained their majority, a first in Canadian history… but that’s the hand we are dealt. Time to work at it.

Since @avilewis and @emilylowan are the first Canadian federal and provincial party leaders respectively to be on the #Fediverse, I wonder if they will have an outsized influence on this place until other parties inevitably join. 🤔

Don't forget that an #LPC majority could make it easier to ram through jets at Billy Bishop Airport given recent remarks from Carney on that matter. It's unsettling to say the least. #cdnpoli #NDP #GPC CC @[email protected]
Thanks @[email protected] for publishing my letter in response to #CPC Leader Pierre Poilievre's call to scrap high-speed rail. Canada is decades overdue for high-speed rail and it's time we get this thing built! #cdnpoli #LPC #NDP #GPC #AllAboardAlto www.thestar.com/opinion/lett...
Here's yet another reason why we must never allow Pierre Poilievre to become Prime Minister! He's content with Canada remaining an international embarrassment by wanting to scrap high speed rail which is decades overdue! #shame #cdnpoli #LPC #CPC #NDP #GPC www.torontotoday.ca/local/transp...
