I too connect to lemmy.ca from Mexico. But I have never experienced “connection refused”. My isp is Megacable, and 99.9%of the time I have PIA VPN on a US or Canadian server, sometimes a South American country.

None of these facts are wrong. Carney is a top-tier capitalist, no question. The thing is, what are the choices? Three of the Liberal candidates are women. Not gonna win nationally. The other two are unknown MPs. Polievre has no vision, just a strategy of division and dog whistles, á la Prez Chump. It’s getting old fast. The NDP is still a fringe party with “visible minority” leader. Not gonna win nationally. There’s a lot to dislike, and if the Liberals select him, they won’t get my vote. But I think he will be the next PM, and might even win the next election. Unfortunately, I think that will depend significantly on what Chump and the Villionaires do in the next six months. And that is ~~volitile~~ ~~capricious~~ ~~unstable~~ unpredictable!

I can’t upvote enough! Perhaps the most riveting hockey game I ever saw. And I saw the Summit Series in ‘72.

What went wrong? Everyone giving an opinion, when the facts have not been established. So no right answers yet!

What could go wrong?!

Who can even tell anymore? As a long time lurker of various piracy threads on various platforms, I consider every post about “resistance” to be false flag operation. Nice try, FBI ! To be sure, there is much to be outraged about, but dis- and mis-information abounds.

It’s hard for people who haven’t experienced the loss of experts to understand. Not a programmer but I worked in aerospace engineering for 35 years. The drive to transfer value to execs and other stakeholders by reducing the cost of those who literally make that value always ends costing more.

What Canuck ever listens to the Russian Amabassador? ( do we even have one?). And now we have two!!

I made the switch too! I bought a MacBook! After 40 years of MS OSes, Outlook-online and Windows 11 made me quit. And so far so good!

(screeching) “And then?!!”

I can’t help think that Chimp and The Villionaires are quashing the competition so that only they and their ~~groupies~~ cronies will have access to life and health extending treatments, that they will sell to the highest bidders.
