Which could be its primary purpose. Science skeptics are easier to manipulate.

If only there was a place where humans who have a tendency to get tattoos are in cages for an exrended period of time with a relatively consistent, trackable food intake, and constantly tracked behaviour. Humans who might even be motivated by privileges to volunteer for such studies.

Maybe it's time to reciprocate.

I don't necessarily know where I'm going to be 90 days in advance. How do they handle the logistics of that? And what do they have in place for athletes who might be dealing with stalkers, for example?

This implies most people will roll over and accept corporate fascism and foreign control to maintain their standard of living. Which is not necessarily false. But is that what you believe?

You mean since private equity groups started getting involved? What a shock!

Nationalize internet service and put Canada Post in charge. It's about making sure all Canadians can communicate effectively and affordably. Penalize private delivery services that don't meet the labour standards (and as private citizens refuse to use them, nickel and dime everything you can out of them, send shit back not delivered by Canada Post and refuse to pay for the return - just refuse delivery), expose all private holdings of delivery services stock, assets, relatives with equity positions, etc. of anyone in government who therefore have a conflict of interest and charge them a fee equivalent to all profits to be made if they vote against Canada post employees. It's a service, not a business. We don't expect the military to turn a profit.

"vouchers could be made available to help Canadians pay for costs such as long-term care or home care services"

This was how the conservative provincial government tried to sneak in privatization of long term care and home and community care in my province. (Source: I was one of the consultants brought in to assess the viability of the plan, and my contract was abruptly cancelled after I explicitly pointed out this was what they were doing)

Fortunately, COVID derailed the program, and a new government came in before it could be restarted. But, as a result, I am extra cautious and thorough anytime analysts mention voucher programs.

I'm confused. Isn't "collecting keystroke data" just an alarmist way to describe text entry?

Dear Alberta, could you please deal with your racists and get your ridiculous theocracy out of office? We have to get ready for a real war.

Of course, PP wants to defund any media his backers can't control.

How about also, "Wow, seems like you need to work on your resource planning skills," when a manager tries to demand unpaid overtime?
