Pandering to her base in 3hills.

Honestly I'm all for having a party of fiscal responsibility. If only conservatives would step up to the plate and fulfill that role!

Yea seeing the mentality of the 2 commentors who support LBC has me questioning if it's actually activism or just standard attention seeking behaviour.

  1. I said legitimate opponent. Meaning she seems like a good person for the job. Not that she was a serious contender with a chance to win.

  2. She's an independent not an LPC or CPC member so you're comparing apples to oranges.

  3. Name recognition is the single most important factor in being elected. It's factually incorrect to suggest that there would be no difference between a few independent candidates and over 100.

At the end of the day what does LBC stand for if they're undermining legitimate independent candidates?

This woman is heads and shoulders above CPC candidates.

I'm honestly very disappointed in the LBC. They've clearly lost the plot and have transition from activism to attention seeking.

This is actually quite disappointing PP has a legitimate independent opponent that is center right and doesn't adhere to CPC politics.

The Longest Ballot Committee has lost the plot on this one. I never supported them but if this is their level of political acumen than I would argue they do more harm than good.

So I just heard on the radio this morning that youth injures from scooters are up 60% over last year.

We use [injury rate / kms traveled] to obfuscate car injuries

  1. Automotive lobbyists. That's why killing someone drunk driving a car is manslaughter not murder. Scooter lobbying is probably pennies to the dollar of automotive lobbying.

  2. Scooters don't have odometers making data collection difficult. Similar vein, scooter accidents and injuries are less likely to be reported or linked back to scooters than to cars.

  3. Given cars go significantly farther than scooters that likely makes the output number not very useful and possibly harmful from a marketing standpoint. 1/10,0000kms for cars vs 1/100kms for scooters is not appealing.

  4. Scooters are still new. There probably isn't enough data yet. Right now a lot of scooter roll outs are in their pilot phase or recently completed it.

  5. Scooter injuries have significantly more/different factors. I friend of mine needed elbow surgery because he lost balance due to a combination of wind, being tall, catching on a tree branch, losing control, side walk disrepair, and bad luck hitting his elbow on a concrete barrier. And he was sober.

I think the statistics are still cooking.

Being doxxed can be easier in a rural town because less people makes it easier to narrow your identity down. Imagine you work at the only starbucks in town and post a photo while at work. Won't take people long to identify the location, and then from there they can dig deeper.

Being hacked has nothing to do with your location/etc. Being hacked is usually because of:

  1. You clicked a dirty link that installed some spyware.

  2. You re-used passwords on multiple accounts. One of the companies you have an account with gets hacked and that data gets sold to other hackers. Those hackers regularly build lists of emails and their accounts so that they can try whatever passwords they find on all of them. Eventually they get lucky.

  3. You used a very weak password that can be "guessed" by hacking programs. A password with only letters and numbers can be figured out by anyone with a laptop in minutes. Add on symbols, upper and lowercase, and increase the password length and it will take years for the computer to crack it.

To avoid getting hacked:

  1. Use password generators like google/lastpass/apple that generate a very strong password and store it for you.

  2. Use 2 factor authentication. Ideally a verification app because phone numbers (when they text you) is some what's more vulnerable to being spoofed.

  3. Have a separate email for non banking such as online shopping or services. Don't give out the email/phone# associated with your main accounts to websites whenever possible.

Google, it always mistakes me as being in the next town over,

That's likely due to your internet service provider. If the device you're using doesn't share it's location than it can only locate your internet service provider. This is a non-factor when it comes to cyber security
