People with low literacy. Not only do a lot of people just read the titles but they barely give much effort doing that these days.

Also noticed a lot more sloganeering/low effort comments here recently.

Just to point out with the Nasdaq rule changes and seemingly high probability of a SpaceX IPO a lot of index investors will be pouring billions into the company.

Probably last update for this but it also makes this insanely outrageous. Even the Conservative website is more straightforward then CBC.

As usual Pierre is omitting and over simplifying things. Otherwise just going out of his way now to pander to Trump.

During a recent parliamentary committee hearing, Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree said that Ottawa would ensure “safeguards” are put in place to prevent the vehicles from transmitting information back to China.

There was also discussion to put more Blackberry software in the cars even shipped outside of Canada.

The minister revealed there are “active conversations” on how domestic firms might complement new Chinese investment, including with Ottawa-based software developer QNX, owned by BlackBerry.

The auto plan would also remove the GST from Canadian-made vehicles, end the Liberal government’s electric vehicle subsidies, and ban vehicles that use Chinese or Russian-connected software.

The Canadian Press via CTV:

Poilievre’s plan would also ban vehicles that use Chinese- or Russian-connected software. Additionally, the Conservatives are aiming to create a “harmonized North American cybersecurity and data standard” and ban Chinese vehicles from “proximity to Canadian Forces bases and other sensitive or strategic infrastructure,” a background document outlined.

Globe & Mail and even Post media straight up says he’ll ban Chinese vehicles. I won’t link either since I also consider them to be shit news sources, but CBC is really doing something ugly here.

Also to point out this stuff is killer to people who support CBC. This CBC article really dances around the guy trying to kill one of the major Canadian deals with a American opponent. I’d paste quote but the way they frame what the guy said and the words China\Chinese barely attempts to convey anything meaningful in context.

The reason I’m posting this here and overall context:

• France and Europe has been having a energy crisis for a while now.
• When Iran effectively closed the straight it substantially impacted Europe and Asia a lot more then America.
• As such Macron has been saying France might participate in military action in the straight to keep ships flowing
• This incident gives Macron a certain level of justification to participate.
• The probable cases of France participating wouldn’t materially change anything beyond a NATO ally sending their soldier to their deaths for Trump’s war.
• This really starts to muddy the waters as to Canada’s role if Iran starts to directly threatening France.

Tldr: Macron is a moron. He should have withdrawn his soldier from a active war zone.

No one was injured in the first attack, after which Italy said it was temporarily withdrawing its military personnel from the base.

This is pretty wild. The judge made judgement not friendly to America so she got sanctioned which even outside of America means she can’t use a lot of services.

For example even in Canada if you couldn’t use proper IOS and Google Android it would make it very difficult to use mobile bank apps given how current app security works.

This summer Kimberly Prost, a Canadian judge at the International Criminal Court (ICC), arrived at her home in The Hague and, as was her habit, called out “Alexa”.

There was silence. The voice-activated assistant did not respond. “Alexa was dead. She wouldn’t talk to me,” Prost recalled in an interview with The Irish Times.

For those wondering about the numbered of sanctions people.

According to OFAC, there are approximately

12,000 names on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN) list, [17] which is the most restrictive category of targeted U.S. sanctions, targeting U.S.-designated terrorists, officials and beneficiaries of certain authoritarian regimes, and international criminals (e.g. drug traffickers) by blocking their U.S. assets and restricting U.S. persons from engaging in any transactions with them
