Yeah, really appreciated that thorough breakdown!
Ontario, Canada.
Love being outdoors, motorcycling, jogging, or just walking.
Yeah, really appreciated that thorough breakdown!
… was laid to rest …
Thanks for sharing. I have to say that the article has a heavy slant towards why we should be concerned with this policy (and we should, there are some very valid questions raised), without addressing the elephant in the room, of Chinese government interference in Canada.
It doesn’t help that the authors get some very easy details wrong, like:
The pushback is in reaction to the New Policy on Sensitive Technology Research and Affiliations of Concern (hereafter New Policy) announced by the ministers of Health, Public Security, and ISEC (Innovation, Science and Economic Development) in January. The policy prohibits research collaboration with Named Research Organizations in Sensitive Technology Research Areas
That should be Public Safety, and ISED.
I take your point, except that it’s the PPS, and not the OPS that have jurisdiction on the hill. According to the article, the RCMP apparently want them to be limited to checking bags for visitors.
It’s a weird take, and a bit of a territory grab.
100%. The Conservative party is currently leading polls here in Canada because of the unpopularity of Justin Trudeau.
The Conservative party are also conspiracy-loving, reality-denying loonies like the Republicans, but since “we’re Canada”, and “it can’t happen here”, they’ll probably form the government next year.

Someone else thinks like you do!
"A New York City medical school will be tuition-free for all students from now on thanks to a $1 billion donation from a former professor, the widow of a Wall Street investor.
…
The gift is intended to attract a diverse pool of applicants who otherwise might not have the means to attend"
Anyone else feeling deflated?
Good!
If only we could go after the individuals responsible for making the decisions too…
Oh great, just what we need in Canada: Republican culture wars
Abnormal weather… If only there were a term for this.
It’s easy enough to say that (and I agree we have a car problem), but it’s not really realistic to shift from a car dependent to a non-car world overnight, no matter how much it is the right thing to do.
There will, necessarily, be a transition period.
Agreed. Not only are moose drawn to the roadside, but we’re salinating our lakes and rivers 🫤
Fair enough, but that’s not going to be unique to EVs, is it?
Lol. Well said.
Queue all the deniers rushing in here to point out every little issue with EVs…
Capacity?
But why won’t anyone think of the shareholders?!
