@PotatoRustler Yah well domestic Canadian providers like @windscribecom VPN would still be under a significant legal burden even with this provision — although one could argue less of one, but still more than their foreign competitors

I would say that Quebec‘s economy didn’t necessarily suffer directly from the referendums that they held themselves, but they also enacted policies that forced large companies to flee to Ontario. And this was over decades. And I would say that they weren’t necessarily encouraged to really let’s say “recover their economy” because they could always just take more and more out of the equalization bucket.
English
Quebec’s economy “has never recovered” from its two referendums?
Seriously?
How about Quebec develop all its oil, gas & natural resources, not shutter nuclear plants, slash spending and taxes, try more free enterprise?
Then we could assess its economy.

@HiddenHistoryYT They fired for 90mins on orders to pound her and serve a brutal lesson. In reality Bismarck was silenced very quickly. Guns were always a good way of silencing a ship but a poor way of sinking them. So my grandfather said. He served on destroyers and hunted the Scharnhorst.
English
85 years ago today, in the freezing grey water between Iceland and Greenland, the most famous warship in the world died in under three minutes.
HMS Hood. 48,000 tons. The pride of the Royal Navy for twenty years. The ship British schoolchildren drew in their notebooks. "The Mighty Hood."
She was hunting the Bismarck.
At 05:52 on 24 May 1941, Vice Admiral Lancelot Holland gave the order to open fire at 26,500 yards. He was closing the range hard on purpose, because Hood's weak deck armor could not survive shells falling from above at long range. He needed flat trajectories, and he needed them fast.
He was three minutes too slow.
Bismarck's fifth salvo straddled Hood as she turned to bring her rear guns to bear. A single 15-inch shell punched through her thin armored deck and detonated her aft magazines.
Witnesses on Prince of Wales described a column of flame that rose higher than the mainmast, eerily silent at first, the sound arriving a moment later. Hood broke in two. Her stern rose vertically out of the sea, guns still pointed at the sky, and slid under. Her bow followed.
Of 1,418 men aboard, three survived.
Signalman Ted Briggs, Able Seaman Bob Tilburn, Midshipman Bill Dundas. They floated on a raft of debris in near-freezing water, watching their ship's oil burn around them, until the destroyer Electra found them two hours later. Briggs was 18 years old. He lived until 2008, the last man who had stood on the Mighty Hood.
The Bismarck won the battle. But Prince of Wales, only just commissioned with shipyard workers still aboard fixing her main guns, had landed three hits before retreating. One ruptured a forward fuel tank. Bismarck began trailing oil across the Atlantic like a wounded animal.
Churchill's order to the fleet was simple. Sink the Bismarck.
Every available British warship turned to the chase. Three days later, at the edge of the Bay of Biscay, a Swordfish biplane from HMS Ark Royal, flying through a gale at near sea level, dropped a torpedo that jammed Bismarck's rudder hard to port. She could only steam in a slow circle, straight back into the Royal Navy.
King George V and Rodney closed at dawn on 27 May. They fired on her for ninety minutes. Bismarck absorbed over 400 shells and at least a dozen torpedoes before she rolled over and went down with roughly 2,200 of her crew.
The Royal Navy answered for Hood in 72 hours.

@DesireeAmerica4 @royalelynnmusic Calling this country makes about as much sense as calling it jazz. I like heavy music myself but country has a sound like all other musical styles and this is not that sound.

About Iran’s deal:
Another important point is that we’re right in the middle of Hajj season.
Millions of people are flying into Saudi Arabia from all over the world, mostly on Emirati and Qatari airlines. There’s a huge flow of money and investment tied to these movements.
The Islamic regime is looking for any excuse to disrupt it, they’ve had a deep-seated grudge against Saudi Arabia for years.
Trump probably used this meeting with the Arab leaders to declare that because of the Hajj situation, he would postpone any military action for now.
But that gives him real leverage, which he’ll cash in on later. Keep in mind that Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and even the UAE keep creating obstacles by threatening to restrict U.S. access to their bases.
At the end of the day, if you think Trump is going to make peace with a regime that has tried to assassinate him, and just yesterday we heard reports of them hiring someone to target his daughter, then you’re being overly naive about politics.
At the end of the day, if you believe Trump, who is currently in the strongest position in the real world, not in the bubble of fake news and the regime’s illusory narrative, will simply walk away and make a final deal with a regime that tried to assassinate him and, just yesterday, was reported to have hired someone to target his own daughter… then you’re either very naive about how politics actually works, or you’ve fallen too deeply under the influence of the regime’s propaganda.
Keep calm, @realDonaldTrump knows what he is doing.
Ida Turan 🇮🇷 ایده توران@iranidaturan
Don’t panic. This is not about peace with the regime. This is an ultimatum to the Arabs. It’s directed at those who didn’t cooperate enough and whose interests were always served by the regime’s survival. They were free-riding on Israel and US, comfortable in the belief that Israel would do the dirty work for them and neutralize the regime for its own security. That’s why they played games, especially with the Abraham Accords. This is the final ultimatum. Until a few months ago, the regime was only a problem for the Iranian people, Israel, and the United States. Trump handed the regime enough rope to turn itself into a direct threat to its own Arab neighbors. Now he is delivering the final warning: he wants “peace“, has no desire for endless war, and his part is done. From here on, the regime’s refusal to cooperate and its continued sabotage across the Middle East ( which is guaranteed) is no longer just Israel’s problem. It is now fundamentally an Arab problem too. you can always count on ideological stupidity of shiits, and their constant need for external enemies to justify their incompetence and to suppress people. War is a blessing for them. Trump is not handing it to them. Not yet. There will be no lasting peace with this terrorist regime. Everyone understands that now. Be patient, have faith. Iran will be free, maybe not immediately, but certainly.

I know what you’re feeling right now. Last night hit hard. The referendum question didn’t land like the thunderclap we hoped for. Some of you are sitting in the dark, staring at the screen, thinking it’s over. That the dream of a free Alberta, a sovereign Alberta, died in committee rooms and careful wording. I see the doubt. I feel the weight of it. But, this is not the end. They want you to believe the fight is finished because one question, one moment, didn’t deliver everything. They want you exhausted. They want you divided. They want you to fold your flags and go home. But we all know we are not those people. We are Albertans. We are the ones who built this province into an economic giant while Ottawa treated us like an ATM to be drained. Every single one of you who feels defeated right now, you are the reason we still have a chance. This isn’t about one referendum. This is about a generation deciding whether we will kneel forever or stand on our own feet. They didn’t kill the movement last night. They only tested us. And the true test of any people isn’t whether they win on the first try. It’s whether they have the courage to get back up when the first blow lands and say “We are not done”. You are the key. Not the politicians. Not the next poll. Not some perfect future leader. YOU. The truckers, the farmers, the oilfield workers, the small business owners, the mothers and fathers teaching their kids what freedom really means. The quiet ones who show up at rallies, who share the truth online, who refuse to bend even when it costs them friends and comfort. We don’t get do-overs in history. There are no second chances to save what matters. This is our moment, and it’s the only one we’re guaranteed. No mistakes. No half-measures. No waiting for someone else to carry the load. So stand up. Dust it off. Reach out to the friend who’s discouraged. Talk to your neighbor. Build the networks. Strengthen the organizations. Speak truth louder than they speak the lies. Prepare like our children’s future depends on it, because it does. We will fight smarter. We will fight harder. We fight together and we will win. Whatever it takes.

Subject: Strong Opposition to Bill C-22 – The Lawful Access Act 2026
Dear [MP's Name],
I am a constituent in your riding of [Your Riding Name], and I am writing to urge you to vote against Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act 2026.
This bill represents a significant expansion of government surveillance powers. Specifically, Part 2 (the Supporting Authorized Access to Information Act) would:
Force electronic service providers (including cloud storage, messaging apps, internet providers, and other digital services) to build technical capabilities allowing law enforcement and CSIS to intercept and access user data more easily.eff.org (perverts)
Require the retention of transmission metadata for up to one year — even for Canadians who are not under any investigation. (douche-bagery)
Create mechanisms for ministerial orders that could effectively compel companies to weaken encryption or add backdoors, while gagging them from publicly disclosing these demands. (assholes)
Canada already has established legal processes, including judicial warrants, for lawful access to data when there is reasonable suspicion or probable cause. Bill C-22 goes far beyond that by creating a proactive, mass surveillance infrastructure that treats every citizen as a potential suspect and turns private companies into agents of the state.
This approach threatens:
Privacy and Charter rights — blanket metadata retention and mandated interception capabilities raise serious section 8 concerns regarding unreasonable search and seizure. Just cuz you're a perv, doesn't mean you also need to get off on us. Fuck off.
Innovation and Canada's tech sector — privacy-focused companies like Sync, Proton (Swiss, will fuck you in Swiss courts, so we'll all be with them), Windscribe (yet another Canadian company you will chase out the the country, you cunts), and others will face enormous compliance costs or be forced to leave the country, driving talent and investment elsewhere.
Security — weakening encryption and creating centralized data stores makes all Canadians more vulnerable to breaches and foreign adversaries, not safer but much more retarded amongst our international security partners.
AS my civil SERVANT, I demand that you:
Oppose Bill C-22 in its current form.
Push back against the mandatory metadata retention and technical capability requirements in Part 2.
Support genuine privacy-protecting alternatives that rely on targeted, warrant-based access rather than mass surveillance infrastructure.
I would appreciate a response outlining your position on this bill. Canadians expect their MPs to defend our rights and freedoms, especially in the digital age.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
[Your Email]
[Your Riding/Postal Code] <- important
English
I'm the CRO of @Sync, Canada's end-to-end encrypted cloud storage provider, and Canada's Bill C-22 stands to cause immeasurable harm to the rights of Canadian citizens, and an industry that Canada should be leading in the technology sector.
This bill will cause an exodus of companies, investment, and talent and will not make Canadians any safer. This is a mass government surveillance bill that aims to make privacy companies and people agents of the state. Canada already has methods to collect data, through legal means and using warrants.
This goes against everything @Sync stands for and we will continue to fight against this bill and we are preparing additional measures should this misguided bill come to pass.
