I’m surprised there’s so few mentions of AWS in this thread. It’s a huge profit centre for the company and a large portion of the internet is now running off of it. AWS is basically the internet’s landlord now, and the profits generated from being the most popular cloud service provider globally are probably why they can afford to invest so heavily into their logistics infrastructure and retail that people are more familiar with.
The study was commissioned by the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions in response to concerns over a growing reliance on temporary nurses
The Royal Canadian Mint has introduced its latest Gold Maple Leaf bullion coin – made entirely from gold sourced from a single mine in northern Ontario
A new charter challenge set to get underway on Monday will test the constitutionality of a controversial Ontario law that allows hospitals to place discharged patients into long-term care homes not of their choosing or face a $400-per-day charge if they refuse.
Norway has a population of around 5 million in an area the size of 385 thousand sq km. As of the 2021 census, the territories have a combined population of around 117 thousand people in an area just under 3.6 million sq km.
The difference of scale there is massive. Kudos to Norway if they’ve done a good job extending their fibre networks, but I sincerely doubt we’ll be able to achieve anywhere near the same level of penetration in the most environmentally harsh and most rural areas of our country with just fibre technologies.
You can’t reach everywhere with fibre. Some areas of the far north are too remote and too sparsely populated for it to ever make sense to put in fibre, and it will remain that way for the foreseeable future.
This deal provides critical infrastructure to those places while not binding us to the whims of an egotistical fascist asshole.
It’s the carbon tax and carbon rebate in Canada. When paired with a carbon tariff, it’s a great market friendly solution to reduce emissions. Beware though, it really really triggers regressive petrosexual conservatives and the ones in Canada keep trying to trigger an election over it so they can get rid of it ASAP and pollute more.
Single payer is preferable, just want to point out that healthcare coops are another option
So the boards should be reformed and have equal parts worker/union, patient, and shareholder representation.
China was considered a developing country with cheaper rates for a long time by the Universal Postal Union, an international agreement that sets the rates for postage. The agreement was renegotiated recently so maybe that will change.

Les jeunes qui ont cherché un emploi cet été se sont heurtés à un mur. Jamais, depuis 2012, le marché du travail n’avait été aussi difficile pour les 15 à 24 ans.
What’s your logic for treating it separately? The tracks and roads both serve as infrastructure to move people and goods around, yet the public owns only roads.
We could keep more train conductors employed too if we had a fairer access system for tracks.
We don’t allow freight and logistics companies to own highways, so we do we still let them own track?
The public should own the tracks. Rail companies should be freed to focus on competing for cargo and passengers.
Pirate Software, a former Blizzard and Amazon Games dev, did a YouTube video on this recently with some fair criticisms of the initiative. It’s worth a watch.
This is why I use an email aliasing service now. Every new site gets a different email address but they all get forwarded to the same account. If one ever misbehaves, their associated email address alias gets deactivated. It’s great to keep track of who’s selling addresses too.
Sometimes unsubscribe just isn’t good enough.

They weren’t social liberals but they were still liberals nonetheless, and their position on the spectrum was closer to where most liberals are internationally, the centre-right. Take a look at Australia and Britain’s liberals for example. Only in the US are liberals considered to be the left wing because there’s only 2 viable options and actual leftists in the US who vote have to settle with being in the same party as liberals rather than having their own party, which the fptp voting system would ensure would fail. US media has not helped by misrepresenting the definition for decades.
The federal party is run by social liberals, which are centrist.
Bazzite. I had it working well for a while but a bad update broke it to the point where I can’t login with Gnome anymore and I’ve stopped trying to make it work. I should be able to revert to the last good snapshot with grub, but I’m a little tired of tinkering, workarounds, and incomplete docs. I like the premise, but I think I need a fresh start with a new distro.
I’ve been hiking most weekends in northeastern Ontario. There’s been a lot of rain but I haven’t let that stop me from enjoying the forests and lakes
