Overly simplistic take. We don't deal with America as a single entity at all. Look at our tariff responses and the way we target specific Republican states.

I'm not saying you need to go out and spend all your money in the US, but let's not catastrophise here or play it up more than it is. I don't think American voters genuinely understood or expected most of what they're getting right now (even if they deserve it).

the dude runs a russian propaganda sub on lemmy.ca, just ignore him

Looks fun. The audio is absolute dogshit in this trailer though - it sounds like both the mixing is bad and the audio bitrate is super low (they messed up the render). Hope they got someone better to handle it for the final cut.

Looks pretty spooky! The first movie really stuck with me. The second one, not so much, but I will never forget its intro sequence with the boat. I don't think I can remember anything else about it.

Here's hoping the third one is good! Alex Garland as writer seems promising, as he wrote the original 28 Days Later.

I feel like Loblaws and the other stores they run always play stupid games with prices. They didn't really show that this was anything different than say, the same month a year ago. The article and methodology just feels kinda shoddy and empty. "We did a shit analysis and came up with weird results, now here's some experts saying random things."

Yikes, OK, thanks for sharing that

Are we talking about getting a nastygram because you were torrenting? Because Bittorrent just broadcast's your IP to everyone in the swarm. Your ISP doesn't have anything to do with that. Your ISP does have an obligation in Canada to forward the nastygram to you from the copyright owner's lawyer though. Like you said though, I'm not sure that this actually still happens anymore. (how sure are you that it was just because you "visited a website", which a DNS lookup isn't even proof of?)

Your DNS provider used to just be your ISP, but unfortunately Chrome and Firefox's stupid DoH-by-default means an American company is your DNS provider, which is the worst possible option. (Chrome default's to Google's DNS servers - the company that makes money by tracking and selling ads. Firefox default's to Cloudflare, which is the NSA's dream.)

Those defaults make DoH worse for Canadians, so I can see an argument for using CIRA + DoH being better than the default.

However, in Canada, your ISP won't tip off the authorities for you pirating anything. That's complete FUD. If you're going to make an argument that CIRA is more trustworthy than my ISP, you have to do better than that.

I will say that the privacy policy and terms of use for CIRA's Canadian Shield DNS seem to be reasonable with regards to privacy. The main issue I see is that they both say they can change the terms at any time, with no notice to you, so basically they can do whatever the hell they want at any time in the future.

How does letting CIRA spy on me give me any additional privacy over my ISP?

I wish I could give a shit about the Green party but after like a decade of infighting, I couldn't care less. We live in a time of global environmental emergencies and they've completely failed to capitalize on that.

I was talking to a friend and we both mentioned how we saw Elizabeth May on TV talking beside someone and we weren't sure whether it was her or the other guy who was the leader.

Are they still fiscal conservatives? What stupid combination of policies.

At my local grocery store, all canned soup comes from the US. There's some alternatives that are made in Canada, but they're all in different packages (Happy Planet comes in pouches, Soups On comes in these massive jars) - none available in cans.
