I realize that it's their land and their reserve and it's vital to keep their culture alive, but if it were me? There is no justification, not financial, not cultural, not religious, that would keep me living in a place like that.
Lenovo's ones win for bang-for-your-buck. Not great for gaming or the like but for simple reading comics and watching videos you can't beat the price for a big device like that.
If they don't want to offer checked bags for free they should at least offer some kind of group deal for checking bags. Like each traveller gets a coupon for 33% off on a checked bag on the same flight, and those stack so any group of 3 or more is checking a single suitcase for free. When flying with family it often makes sense for us to just use knapsacks and one big suitcase.
Then you are in a province where the carbon price is not run by the fed. The fed says every province has to have a carbon price, but has minimal opinion on where the revenue goes. If a province does not implement their own system, then they get the federal carbon tax-and-rebate system.
The federal tax-and-rebate system has no income rules. You can be broke or a billionaire you still get your cut. The amount is based on province (the ctax money does not leave the province), family size, and urban vs rural (rural folks get a bigger chunk of the pie).
Give me back my custom taskbar location and then we'll talk.
Want to really hurt these people? Build some competing buildings so they can't charge whatever they want for rent.
If it's so profitable, the public sector can pull it off and make a mint that can go to services.
It's win/win! Government gets more money to help people, and landlords face downward pressure on rent.
Of course. It's very possible that as a Ukrainian being oppressed, he had good reason to sign up. And his unit was never found guilty of war-crimes.
But he still swore an oath to Hitler. He still served the Nazis. His unit butchered Polish civilians.
Maybe he's a decent man, maybe he isn't...
But SS soldiers don't get to be heroes, particularly not on Parliament. Them's the breaks.
But shifting the blame wholly onto the driver is also not reasonable. People thinking "lol, Darwin" damned well know that driving at night in a dark, rural area, you're still going to be driving a decent speed and you might not see something coming. There are classes of problems you have to expect, like wildlife or other vehicles... but there are also classes of things you should not have to worry about, like the map not being updated about a destroyed bridge after 10 years despite having been notified repeatedly.
The city of Hickory bears most of the blame, of course. But the fact that Google does not pay attention when users notify them about dangerous road conditions in their maps is a serious problem, and deserves some responsibility. They can't say "we didn't know" when they actively, aggressively choose not to listen.
It's shaping up to be a two-horse race.
On the one hand you have Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie, who is running as a "Blue Grit" and campaigning on regret over the leftward shift under Wynne. Under her watch in Mississauga the city has repeatedly missed their housing targets, and the municipal government has constantly campaigned against Ford's efforts to make them greenlight more housing as anti-democratic overreach.
On the other hand we have Federal MP Nate Erskine-Smith. Erskine-Smith is a policy-wonk type. The guy has a podcast and a substack. He's an unrepentant YIMBY. If you follow Housing Twitter, the "upzone all the things!" types like him.

I mean, I have my bias... but yeah, this dichotomy is why I got a membership. The old-guard Boomer "we'll vote for whoever if we think they can win" wing of the party is coalescing around Crombie.
An important thing to note about this is that as we go up exponentially the error between GiBs and GBs increases. A kiB is only 2% more than a kB, but a TiB is 10% more than a TB. So using them interchangeably is increasingly misleading.
Also, there are many cases in computers where it doesn't really make sense to fuss about binary. Like, an HDD is a spinning piece of metal, the number of bits it can store has no binary constraint.
Fun fact: the old 3.5" floppies that were marketed as 1.44 MB were neither 1.44MiBs nor 1.44 MBs, but some weird hybrid mash-up unit.
