Even YouTube? The last time I tried (a couple months ago) on both mobile and desktop Orion it’s totally unusable, most of the time it just gets stuck on a black screen for 10-60 seconds where the ads should be.

Stop using Adblock Plus and start using Firefox with uBlock Origin.

If you’re on iOS, swallow your pride and install Brave and just turn off the crypto features. You’ll thank me later.

It doesn’t work properly… Orion still really falls short. I use Brave on iOS just because of Adblock and paywall bypass.

As much as I hate to say it, if on iOS use Brave. You can disable the crypto shit, but it’s got the best adblocking on iOS, and paywall bypass built in.

You recall correctly. The Alberta premier proposed it, and it’s something they included in the Alberta bill of rights earlier in the 70s.

Without the notwithstanding clause the Charter would restrict the provinces’ legislative freedom and give the federal justices greater powers than the provincial representatives, when one of the defining features of the Westminster system is that of parliamentary sovereignty or supremacy. In the British system, parliament has the right to make or unmake any law.

The current situation is like a compromise between having an enforceable written bill of rights and respecting the sovereignty of the provincial legislatures. Without the clause the provinces would never have agreed to the constitution.

I’m in Tokyo and pay $40 for 10gig fibre… actual speed is about 6-7gig up and down.

Speed cameras need to be accompanied by roads that are designed to physically calm traffic.

I used to drive a lot in London, and there are speed cameras all over the place there, and it certainly helps when they are ubiquitous, but what really makes people slow down are the narrow, curved and winding roads.
