@atomicker would be nice but it would require a federal gov willing to tolerate the tantrums that Alberta is already throwing anyway. Or it would require Alberta’s to elect something other than the oil industry as a government.
But maybe I’m to cynical. There is oil and gas extraction in other provinces as well.

@TechConnectify Well that was a delightful and rambling rant.
FWIW...literally the ONLY thing better about the trains around Toronto than the trains here in the Netherlands is the closing door chime. The Dutch NS single beep is so boring.
I was so glad (legitimately, and not sarcastically like most of my neighbours) when Waterloo region adopted it for their trains and I got to listen to it all day long at my previous house.

@Techaltar Don't bring reMarkable into this. 😆 .... 🤣 .... 😢
Yeah, that's crazy, but well deserved. I imagine the same is probably true in Canada.
Tends to happen when a super power threatens you militarily.
The crazy thing is, so many Americans are still surprised and confused that Canadians are angry. Can you imagine the response if someone treated Americans the same way.

@Daojoan I think most people are seduced by "passive income" not as in they don't want to contribute, but instead as a form of security. If income is passive, then you cannot be fired.
It of course isn't true, but I suspect this is the underlying motivation for most.
Or well, it would be for me, maybe I'm weird, but I do think I'm still pretty human.

@alatiera I know nothing of this person, or the issues at play. But like 99% of the time I end up on the right side of things when I side against the person whining about freedom and for the people objecting to racism and transphobia. Sooooo....

This would be an insane thing for the EU to do.
@notjustbikes@social.notjustbikes.com wants to move into reporting and get some kind of an interview with EU pols on this?
