I definitely agree with you but I’m not sure how far they can take this in an economic situation that is currently devolving into a major recession and has all the macroeconomic factors of an incoming second depression.

How these companies don’t realize these incompetent decisions push formerly paying customers into piracy is actually beyond me.

Do every c-level employee in these companies have brain damage?


Legal challenge over what?

Selling arms? You mean our weapons being involved in no less than three genocides over the last decade hasn’t been a problem but “this genocide is different”?

Globeandmail trash at it again. “It’s only a problem when we can profit off of it”

It’s almost like this should’ve been more thought out and the companies responsible should be paying for it. OH RIGHT, they own the unions, politicians, judges AND the regulators.

So the taxpayers lose regardless.


You have no respect at all for people who served and died, and it shows.

You’re the exact type of person that would go “don’t record the horrors in the deathcamps, we should remember them not memorialize them”.

A memorial is supposed to serve as a reminder of what to avoid, not cater to your or anyone else’s current nonsensical ideologies or sensitivities.

It exists to inform and prevent acceptance of war, not to portray a ‘rewarding sacrifice’ when people are thrown into the meat grinder.

Your complete lack of understanding of this issue or your wilful mischaracterization is absolutely abhorrent and shows a total lack of respect and critical thinking education or a total lack of empathy, ignoring the suffering of others in order to pursue your own agenda.


Canada is one of the richest countries in the world and we definitely have the resources to do both. I don’t think there’s ever a need to equate situations like this when we have the resources and liquidity to do both.

That being said, I personally disagree with the 40 million to palestine since its materials are going to be appropriated by HAMAS once they go over the border (or ‘lost’ in the bureaucracy of the UN), but I don’t disagree with the intent to help, we should’ve just thought about it a bit more before doing something like this.

I would’ve been more down to buy 40 million in food/water and para-drop them into palestine than trust the various aid organizations that continue to misappropriate and ‘lose’ funds in that region.

Para dropping supplies would have a higher chance of supplies getting to the people that need them than trusting the ruling bodies inside palestine to actually provide for their people. (If unaware, HAMAS is the elected body of palestine)


So, you guys are aware that the majority of truckers in that convoy only had problems with their working conditions and pay, right?

From my understanding only about 5% of them were actually borderline-retarded if not completely retarded, and the rest were protesting working conditions, which were absolutely fucking horrific, during covid and they’ve barely improved since. (the serious morons that came out to “protest” used the truckers convoy to push their ‘freedom’ bullshit)

There are SERIOUS problems with our trucking and rail industries which overwork, underpay and intentionally remove required safety oversights and training from their workers.


What did you expect when the general population doesn’t fight the ruling government when they sell out our rights, freedoms and properties to foreign and local corporations


This hot take brought to you by someone who clearly hasn’t lived or worked in QC over the last decade.


Sorry, you saw the literal sources I provided to the wall street warlords that trudeau is selling canada to and your response is “it’s pierres fault”/“you’re a conspiracy theorist”?

Do you have a reading comprehension problem or did you just opt to not click through a single source before you made your comment?

Pierre wasn’t even a name on the CPC ticket during the wetsueten attacks by the RCMP and last I checked it was trudeau’s choice to do black face all 5 times and to dress as a nazi all 3 times he did it.

If you don’t want to vote then don’t vote, but you definitely don’t reserve the right to call anyone a conspiracy theorist when you can’t even be bothered to look at the information provided to you by a wide variety of journalists, first nations and wall street firms that directly corroborate what I’ve said.

Not only did the video linked have an easy run down with video footage of the wetsueten attacks and various deleterious impacts of the oil industry, it included all sources in the description specifically to combat sleazy arguments like the one you’re presenting.

He has played to selling out canada to corporate interests at every turn and then uses the facade of ‘pushing for equality’ to shut down any critical discussions in public venues.

Then he shuts down, at the behest of Mr. Buffet, every trucker or rail worker dispute by forcing them back to work and labeling them as ‘right wing extremists’ for the audacity of asking for time off, reasonable pay, and enough workers to insure safe travels (especially in the rail industry).

Additionally, the liberal government has taken to shutting down bank accounts of people that they accuse, whether with evidence or not, of ‘conspiring’ against them. We have an entire set of people that used to be mid to mid high class that have lost access to their homes and bank accounts because they opted to support a rail worker protest or a trucker protest that the media had labeled ‘extremist’. (Canadian news media is obligated to report the version of events supplied to them by the government or be censured and permanently shut down, this was a good thing in the era of the Iraq war as we were able to know about the lack of WMD’s literally years before the US was fully informed, but it is a sword with which the LPC has been stabbing at public criticism and discussion of their continual failures, abuses of power and illegal land sales as well as the use of the RCMP and former US special forces as ‘special enforcers’ for oil interests)

Instead of allowing any discussion on the matter of their abuse of power and complete lack of oversight of both personal (bribes) and government (missing money) funds, we are assaulted with continual ‘us vs them’ narratives to split the populace.

Trudeau is Trump light, but objectively more racist.

If you want a TL;DR video about Canada’s government issues (with sources)

My only option right now is to not vote for trudeau.

I would rather we have a minority government where no one current party has serious power than allow the LPC or CPC a majority with their current leadership.

If no one can step up to do the job, then get used to being forced to get along, IMO.

We need a speaker of the house that treats these incompetent malcontents like the children they act out as.


If the LPC dropped Trudeau tomorrow I’d vote for the LPC.

Since he’s still party leader, I’ll be throwing my vote to anyone else that seems even marginally more competent than Trudeau and his top clowns in the LPC.


Extremism only serves to cement the position of those who you’re directing your behaviour toward.

This is an issue of failed education, specifically history and philosophy, in my opinion.


As someone who has worked the industry, this is so they can sell the information not so they can actually do anything to increase their security and prevent attacks.



The journalist writing this is a complete idiot who has no idea what is going on.

We’ve long passed ‘gilded age’ more than a decade ago, we’ve been in a technological dystopia built for the rich since the early 00’s (or early 80’s depending on who you ask and how you interpret the technological innovation of the stock market and abuse of the international exchanges and SWAP markets by market makers for monetary gain).

How this moron is only NOW seeing it seriously indicates a massive failing in both education and ability to observe business and economic situations.


I don’t pirate games anymore because steam solved my access problem.

Amazing that all these shitty streaming services make me wish blockbuster was a thing again.

But, since it isn’t and never will be, it’s a yo ho ho from me.

(Until a reasonable steam-esque service for movies/shows turns up anyway)



Emigration. It’s called fucking emigration.

How do you write articles for a living and not know basic fucking English.

If you keep making mistakes that a fucking AI wouldn’t don’t be sad when no one cares you lost your job.


Corporations continue to infringe on our rights and freedoms every day and get away with it with a slap on the wrist or a fine, so of course canadians wouldn’t bother to memorize this I hardly blame them given how absolutely and thoroughly inept our regulatory bodies and politicians are.


That’s why railroads exist. JFC. Do the bare minimum amount of research about a topic before you attempt to red herring what the fuck.


So, what, electric vehicles don’t exist in your world?


Is it actually an nazi store or is it being called that because someone doesn’t like them?


Because they’d rather not do anything and just start a virtue signaling program like that shit going down in ontario with the ‘recycling initiative’ to distract everyone from the fact all our ‘recycling programs’ send their ‘recycling’ to singapore and other poor countries to deal with they made a bunch of trash composting programs that ‘will help the farmers’. Well, I’m friends with farmers and I’ve done my share of farming and random compost with zero chemical control cannot be utilized by industrial farmers, especially when the average education level prevents people from following instructions properly. “We’re banning black garbage bags to help the environment” = “were not going to do a damn thing but we’re going to incentivize fighting between neighbours so they don’t realize we’re the actual enemy as we continue to sell canadians down a river to our close friends and family making weapons for every war currently going on”


And yet they’re still going to keep funding hydrogen fuel?

Fucking imbeciles.


We are currently spending more on “attracting” new immigrants than we do housing the ones that get here or even the Canadians that are lying in homeless camps around nearly every city.

These politicians deserve prison time for their incompetence. Left and right. Not a single one of these rat bastards is doing the job they’re actively stealing money from hard working canadians to pay themselves off with.


Our regulatory bodies have people that rotate in and out of the banking industry on the regular. Until this stops, we will never, EVER, see positive change.

Our government will continue to divide people with incompetent initiatives and then keep taking money from these companies on the down low, pretending all the while like the regulators are going to do something.

There’s not a single regulatory body in Canada that isn’t absolutely riddled with the cancer of large corporate money paying off the ‘regulators’ that work in those offices, or, straight up offering the regulators jobs if they just look the other way for the more heinous crimes and do small fines for the more obvious crimes.

So, keep in mind, that if this is what CIBC is being fined for and this is considered ‘small’, what are they doing that the regulators know about and are actively ignoring to keep the public in the dark?


Between me and my room mate we’ve downloaded approximately 1202tb this month and uploaded about 105tb.

AFAIK unlimited = unlimited. If there’s a limit we’ve not hit it yet.


sobeys c-suite should be arrested along with the regulators that continue to rotate in and out of service to this large corporations and their fucking regulatory bodies and publicly executed.

Change my mind.


I can understand where you’re coming from but it’s not like the commenter lied. Both musk and trump have court cases involving sexual assault in various countries and our adversaries are getting one over on us because of the incompetence of every politician, not just left or right.

Perhaps I am seeing it in a different light but it sure seemed to me like billionaire and politician bashing as opposed to ‘orange man bashing’.


I said fairly based. The commenters preoccupation with the fascism connection was odd but the rest was pretty much on point for presenting a theory as to why the torrent had been removed and re-added. The commenter added additional commentary to present a parallel for what the torrent uploader was doing in order to obtain more public interest.

In reference to your last line, you realize that the vast majority of the political sector is financially vested in ‘taking action’ against piracy, right? And by financially vested I obviously mean bribed by corps like MGM or UMG et al.


So, I don’t think you’re wrong but I think there was another way to do this.

A live example is the Deadpool game on steam. The original game is no longer available and cannot be purchased, bought, rented, or anything. However, if you bought it, you still have access to downloading it.

The reason? The new deadpool IP shredded the contracts with the original game developers primarily because the voice actors weren’t the ones everyone is now accustomed to (mostly ryan reynolds).

Steam managed to allow the content owners to be able to download and install the game without any problems while also complying with the new terms surrounding the deadpool ip.

This is primarily sony’s fault, in my opinion, because they chose not to go to bat for their customer base and opted to fuck over their own customers. If they do not refund everyone for all the content then anything sony has ever made should be pirated by everyone from now on because it’s clear that ownership no longer exists and if I can’t own anything, then I also can’t steal anything because clearly no one ‘owns’ it if even the people that paid for it cannot use it.



If you do any research at all into what was said you’d realize that this was actually a fairly based response.


Our government is still wasting millions chasing fucking hydrogen fuel. No one in office right now has any fucking clue about todays technology


The police, regulators and politicians all work for corporations now. The people are only a means to power, nothing more.


On the one hand I respect personal choice but on the other hand I feel like this is definitely something that should be done (or the recommended idea from undercrush’s comment of extremely high taxes on the products to disincentivize use) because the public healthcare system is definitely spending too much time and effort dealing with the ramifications of peoples decisions to continue to hurt themselves.

Yes, quitting sucks, I was at like a pack a day before 16, ended up going cold turkey around 24 and although the first few months suck with the odd craving for the next year or two, it’s not that bad. If push comes to shove, changing smokes to sugar free gum would be a vast improvement.

Although a few friends have tried that ‘fum’ thing and said they succeeded in quitting but I haven’t personally tried that. There’s a wide variety of ways to beat the addiction these days and if everyone is contributing to a national money pool for everyones health then at the very least we need to do the minimum amount of effort to try to be healthy so as to not overburden the system and collapse it.

… especially when canada keeps losing billions of dollars to corporate tax fraud. Fucken CRA is trash at everything.
