“Somebody else will pay the salaries of our customers”.

That’s been the mindset of these business “leaders” for a few decades already.

The difference is now they have a tool that promises them that they can eliminate workers at an increasingly rapid rate.

Of course that’s a false promise, but once they realize that, a helluva lot of damage will have been done.

White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said El-Sayed “hates football,

But did he cause the bankruptcy of an entire football league?

I’m sure there are well-meaning conservatives out there

I used to think that, but there is so much increasing evidence to the contrary.

seems to have failed in every negotiation with the us.

How do you “succeed at negotiating” with a country that is demanding you give up your sovereignty and allow then to do whatever they want? One whose leadership can’t accept the concept of a mutually beneficial result?

How many people are going to switch to a different phone because the same thing is happening on android as well?

Until there is a third (and better) option that is easily available to the average retail shopper, it won’t be many.

Name one non-apple and non-android phone that I can buy in a retail shop in Canada. Or can even get from an online Canadian shop.

it’s someone else giving you a shitty nickname and then insisting everyone else use it.

Another one of Trump’s signature moves.

The grim reaper was going after famous 80 year olds in the last couple of weeks. He just missed the one that everyone wanted gone.

Toss it onto the pile of lies and threats that Trump has made since being returned to power.

The empire is collapsing

Not fast enough, and with far too much collateral damage.

he does accurately represent what the US is right now.

That is the sad reality.

As I mentioned, I doubt Carney will actually kick Hoekstra out - that would just trigger Trump to escalate.

But I do think this petition gives the government a strong indication of the public mood, and may also help give pause to Canadian groups that would have otherwise given Hoekstra a public platform.

He has previously been invited to speak at chambers of commerce and on various news programs. If those opportunities to spread his message are reduced or cease completely, the petition will have had a positive impact.

• I use StreetComplete for a more trimmed-down, gamified experience.

Another benefit for casual users is that StreetComplete doesn’t require you to worry about the details of formatting your submissions, it simply asks you if this thing is here, or what are the hours of this business, or if there is a sidewalk or what is the address number on this building and things like that, then it submits a correctly formatted response to the OSM database.

we all just need to accept a “compromise” between privacy and safety.

You will be safe from retribution when you respect our privacy and stop spying on us.

That’s a fair "compromise ", isn’t it?

(or rather, are not supposed to)

That’s the big problem here.

People acting on Trump’s demands who aren’t supposed to.

Hegseth is literally unqualified to manage a large bureaucracy of any kind, evil or not

As is his boss and most of that boss’ direct reports.

Yes it is, thank you.

Not that it will actually trigger his expulsion, I would still encourage any Canadian to sign it and help send the message.

Even still, complacency in the assumption that it will simply fail is a big concern.

Don’t assume it will fail, make sure it does by voting against it in the referendum.

This is how ambassadors get sent home.

Canada already has a petition to kick the US ambassador out. It’s close to 300K signatures last time I checked.

but the biggest disadvantage in the city is no traffic data.

You do realize that Google generates that by tracking the phones of everyone in the area?

Open street map shows it properly, and its a non-profit, open source project.

There are several navigation apps that use OSM data.

And that’s why the rest of the world can never trust the USA to remain a stable and sane member of the international community.
