  • I don’t tend to take people who appear to be mentally ill and harassing people at their word, no. I call the police and allow our legal system to handle the matter. Canada is a country of laws and due process and not punishment based on vibes and crazy shouting.

    We don’t ship schizophrenic people off to The Hague without doing a bit of due diligence first and as with most ridiculous claims people make whilst screaming in public, it’s highly likely this person is full of shit and mentally ill so maybe The Hague is bit premature. People who actually commit these types of crimes aren’t known to stand around in public shouting about them dressed like someone’s crazy ass old uncle.

    Capital punishment is, in case you are not Canadian, illegal and a non-starter here. We won’t even extradite to places where it’s legal unless they provide a firm guarantee that capital punishment will not be imposed (see United States vs. Burns - Canadian Supreme Court - 2001)

    This video shows someone who needs to be hauled off in a cop car and likely submitted for a psych evaluation.

    We do - we need something like Australia has where they show how Australian a product is (made there by a foreign company, made elsewhere by an Australian company, made there by an Australian company) - their labels even show the percentage of ingredients that come from Australia - we are nowhere close (yet!) to that level of transparency mostly because NAFTA and CUSMA have made it something people didn’t care about it - until now :)

    You need to a) check to see where the product is made - your “Product of Canada” label does that part - you then need to b) check to see who owns the parent company. For example, Canadians love Habitant soups - Habitant soups are a) made in the US and b) owned by Campbells which is an American company so that one strikes out on two fronts.
    It’s not easy and requires a lot of research but as you become more and more familiar with which brands are truly Canadian (i.e. - made in Canada and owned by Canadians) it becomes easier to buy Canadian.










  • I implied if you don’t care about FOSS go Samsung. I’d never buy a Chinese phone personally but you do you. They’re also expensive and many don’t have band 13 which is needed for most carriers Canada ( I won’t use Rogers or its subsidiaries and Freedom Videotron Telus and Bell all use band 13 in rural areas - I’m in a rural area)
