We've already seen it happen in Canada under Harper, there's no doubt that it could happen again.
The supreme court would ultimately strike it down, and I only see it as a ploy to bring in private prisons, but at the same time there's a genuine problem in this country with sentencing habitual, dangerous offenders. I can think of at least three women in my province murdered by people who just kept getting in and out of jail for violent crimes their whole lives. One was even on day leave from the prison, which seems like insanity.
The biggest, wealthiest, most advanced polling firms in the US couldn't get it right either, horrendously so in recent memory. I don't think that's down to conspiracy, but how to weight your samples when so many people don't want to answer a phone call from an unusual number.
Too bad unglues your panels

Yes
The reports all bear notes of caution about the summaries being possibly uncorroborated, single-sourced or incomplete. CSIS Director David Vigneault told the public inquiry that intelligence is not necessarily fact and it may require further investigation.
Actual facts on election interference are, hard to come by, but conjecture from unidentified interests isn't good enough. Blindly trusting intelligence agencies without proof is how you end up invading Iraq.
The "critic" in question was a supporter and fundraiser for the Khalistani rebel movement, on and off no fly lists and wanted by Interpol. Arms training programs in the BC interior seemed to have spooked Modi into action, can't imagine why after the Air India bombing and the trial the RCMP fumbled. Most Canadians are content to forget the event after all.
It's hardly the same situation, given that one country is trying to annex Canada and the other isn't.
These guys aren't the Stronachs, Westons, Irvings or Sobeys pumping money into parties, who the leaders have to know. I'm not going to put it past PP to not remember the name of a brown person who he didn't meet for breakfast either.
The report found that a handful of people donated about $10,000 of their own money. No one broke the law. What's the issue here, exactly?
I've gone through this and nothing was actually illegal or questionable. I'm not really sure what the contention is.
Depends on the extent of how much you'd do and if you'd get noticed, really. Leverage being applied against you or your parents could occur, particularly to or via relatives in China, but only if you're deemed worth the effort. I wouldn't take that risk, personally, but that's a very specific, individual decision.
The US is another matter. Sure you'll go on a list but everyone's on a list of one kind or another, we're both on one for using Lemmy most likely.
Would there be any validity in your parents thinking your concerns about this are getting in the way of improving your own life?
Just when you thought it was safe to trust a biker, something like this happens. Now where will I get my crank and human trafficking?
Is this not just...termux?
hell yeah
A compelling sales pitch
We'll throw you into a Syrian CIA black site to torture, just ask Maher Arar 🇨🇦
Russia could demand that every country with a foreign volunteer for Ukraine answer for them, they'd rightly get the same brush-off.
Two guys (who knows, maybe even three) who are Chinese nationals serving in the Russian Army and not PLA soldiers doesn't mean "Chinese troops", it's Russian troops.
I've used EaseUS's free partition manager to clone Windows 10, in order to move from an hdd to an empty SSD. It handled setting up a place for itself to boot into while cloning, and managed to get the partition table etc right as well. There are alternatives for sure, but the nice UI put me at ease(...) for some reason.
You'll probably be fine with the proprietary Nvidia driver aside from minor annoyances, assuming you have a relatively new card- on one PC with a legacy card waking from suspend doesn't work, on a relatively new 960gtx waking results in glitched fonts until I log out of the user. Steam under Wayland occasionally has UI glitches with the top drop down menu for me, though a) supposedly it's better under flatpak b) supposedly it was fixed recently broadly, waiting to get that update.
And remember to back things up before making changes!
