In his case, Pearce did not report any income, but erroneously stated he had paid millions in taxes since 2016 and wanted it refunded.

Uhm… fraudulently stated, not ‘erroneously’. WTF! Jeebus, is there any way the rest of us Canadians can sue these selfish grifters or the govt to get our money back? Any fraud like this will come out of our future income as additional taxes.

If there were such a thing as karma, someday in the near future this guy and his gang will be on the wrong end of those firing squads.

Good start but when are the LLM execs being charged?

HMMMMMMMM

‘Suicide’ … hmm not suspicious at all. Nope.

Let’s hope this strengthens both Canada and the EU in response to the bullying from South-Canada. :p

.si = stochastic inaccuracy, not ‘super intelligence’.

1. Yes, they built them and knew the possible consequences.
2. Yes, they bought tokens for them and now certainly know the potential consequences.
3. Not if they as employees were ordered by their bosses (see 1. and 2.) to use it or face firing (unless whistleblower protections become an actual thing again, which they aren’t these days – then employees woudl be expected to blow the whistle).
4. Yes, if we can find out who they were.

About frigging time someone said this. Now enforce it!

I guess everyone’s scared that this applies defacto to Israel’s leader, courtesy of the USA, despite him not being American.

noai.duckduckgo.com, for at least one alternative.

CoMaps or Openstreetmaps instead of Google Maps.

ProtonMail/ProtonDrive instead of gmail, gdrive.

There are lots of alternatives, we just need to use them and tell others to use them as well.

:( Same here. I have slowly been trying to get my gear set up in a new space again, but have trouble feeling the drive to actually write/record anything.

Sounds neat; let’s hope it is distro- and init-system-neutral.

I have a friend whose sense of taste and salivary glands were messed up by focused radiation treatments for a growth on his neck (not thyroid, I forget what it was exactly, but thankfully amenable to treatment). Took a year or so for both to recover…

Let’s remove Canadian water, wood and potash from U.S. Federal Procurement for them, proactively.

…and the beef, and the water and the potash and the lumber and …

… and stop water flowing over the border, and raw lumber, and stop exporting potash. Though they’d probably invade if we did either of those, and we almost certainly can’t afford to stop exporting entirely. But in principle they unilaterally broke treaties with Canada, so why shouldn’t Canada do the same?

Strangely though their business fibre 1GB symmetric internet is pretty great. Totally different division, I presume. Telus business fibre offers up to 5 static IPs, something Shaw/Rogers still won’t offer for a reasonable price if at all to residential addresses, AFAIK.

For now I’m staying with Fido (Rogers). We’re on the ~$65/mo 150 GB or whatever, but yeah it keeps creeping up. Such a lack of viable choice in Canada. :(

FYI in regards to coverage – eastern coast of Vancouver Island. Rogers/FIDO seems to have better voice/data once one is out of the main townsite, important for hiking and camping. I believe Telus/Bell has better coverage on the west side (Tofino/Ucluelet) but that is just my memory from a few years ago, may have changed since then.

Telus has called me like 5 times over this summer, trying to get me to switch after trying them once last year. Despite their claims, coverage here is not what they say it is. They promised me a 30-day free trial with their SIMs, then still charged me a month. Then had the gall to keep calling me. Infuriating.
