The inter-provincial restrictions are coming down; how about we remove paywalls to access Canadian content in Canada too? Free Press and all that?

You missed a few terms.. how about “influencer handle” instead of “pen name,” for example?

I have 3 physical backups of all my stuff, one a rotating offsite backup. The backup media gets replaced over time.

I don’t expect media (especially backup media) to last more than 10 years. But it doesn’t matter, as my NVMe backup solution of today looks nothing like my spinning rust backup solution of 20 years ago, despite holding all of that data.

Very much this. I’ve been happily married for 25 years and expect to be for at least 25 more, and the things that annoyed us about each other when we were dating still annoy us today. But we accept that those things are unlikely to change, and celebrate the stuff that’s great.

On top of that, guys don’t tend to mature until they’re 21-25, but don’t start dating one who’s younger expecting him to change for the better; it’s more likely the common things you enjoy will change but the odd habits will remain forever.

They’re voting to select a new party leader; while that may result in them becoming the new PM, it’s not the same thing.

The article never really addresses the title.

The answer is; if you were born before 1970, you probably need a booster if you’ve never had one before. If your MMR is up to date, you don’t need another. If you’ve never been vaccinated and you’re under 55, you need two doses.

I started on Memmy and eventually switched to Voyager.

How long until the first Canadian with a timeshare in Palm Springs gets deported to Guantanamo Bay?

Wouldn’t that be fitting? After all this, Elon comes to Canada and is put away for life for defrauding the Canadian government.

Fails to mention he also was selling the discs online.

But they want to sentence him for 15 years for this, even though his actions likely saved lives during the height of COVID if the allegations are true; if they aren’t true, he harmed nobody because those 10 million people wouldn’t have seen the movies in theaters anyway.

Narrator: They won’t.

Well, Usk is a Canadian citizen, so is allowed to buy cars in Canada. Even his own.
