Canada is a failed state

[Fried-Rice12]

Canadian nationalist party already exists / existed. It was run by Travis Patron who is now I believe in jail.

There are actually 2 different ones that have existed.
One was founded in 1933 that was essentially a carbon copy of the National Socialists in Germany.
The other is the one you speak of, which has been de-registered as of 2022 because it has less than 250 voters.

It's just a retard larper

Pretty much.
Personally, I suspect it to be a fed op to put people on their list.
It feels to much like the Canadian variant of the fuentes AF fed op.

So it's recently come to my attention that besides a lot of the bigger telecoms merging-- such as Rogers buying Shaw-- they are now hovering up the smaller third party resellers. Bell bought Primus Internet last year, for example.

So right now in Canada, we have a perfect storm of:

1) The current government introducing its online harms bill.

2) The government in waiting supporting the implementation of digital IDs.

3) All the Internet providers consolidating into 2-3 large telecoms, who also happen to be the cable providers, who also happen to own all the cable stations, who also happen to own all the broadcast/streaming rights for a plethora of content. Oh and by the way, those 2-3 large telecoms are in bed with the CTRC.

Talk about a sticky situation. I honestly think all of this is less about censorship and more about corporatization. Advertisers do not like offensive content and porn, hence the harms bill and the digital IDs. Bell/Rogers are massive, wield tremendous power over the two major parties, own the rights to a lot of content, and are actively consolidating access to the Internet, so the digital ID also helps them and the CRTC track people's online activity in an effort to stomp out piracy and illegal streaming.

Last Wednesday I got a call from my dad telling me he saw this video the day before; but it was taken down before he could show the fellas at his workplace. This got him a little wound up because he believed he stumbled upon something he wasn't meant to see. I trusted he knew what he saw but I wanted to see the video for myself to verify things. He called me excitedly to let me know he found it again because a grifttuber he follows covered it and he knew he wasn't crazy. I don't know for certain if it's fake as compared to photos of Ella this woman does appear to match at specific angles; it's just that her hair is dyed. My biggest question is why is the daughter of a Prime Minister out in public without security detail? That's basically asking for a Resident Evil 4 reenactment.

I can’t find it, but I saw a side by side and it did look pretty convincing

Go to a grocery store and look for the brand name “ irresistibles”

They sell everything on sale. They also make, literally everything. The sales are too good to be true. Here we have an example of a communist organization, trying to completely dominate the food market. They are selling at a cost, there’s no way I see a Folgers bag of coffee selling for 11.99 on sale. Next to it the irresistible bag is on sale for 5.99.
Some really fucky things are happening under everyone’s noses.

I honestly think the west is headed toward this weird corporate autocracy where government becomes extremely weak and ineffective, and gigantic global corporations wield an inordinate amount of power over day to day life. For example, roads getting built and maintained through public-private partnerships where a private company gets paid by government to build and maintain a road. That company gets bought by Google or Blackrock or some shit and all of a sudden Google or Blackrock is in control of your road, and one of the snow clearing shifts gets cut to help fund paying dividends to shareholders or to pay for diversity initiatives.

Hmmm I see something interesting, computer enhance.

Couldn’t even be fucking bothered to move the rum and coke for the photoshoot.

This is just Metro's own brand. All of the store brands everywhere are cheaper, not necessarily for the big nefarious reason. Sure the quality might be lower on some of them, but the other main reason is because they have no need for a expensive marketing budget because they are carried in all stores of their parent company.
For household use items like paper towels and such, I would buy store brand/generic variants, but never for food.

This has been (((the plan))) for centuries. In the 1900s, the turn of the century, the trusts were doing the same thing until President Theodore Roosevelt stopped them.

That’s fantastic. Honestly I was worried if I started looking into it I would lose my mind. Happy to hear it’s just that. Still, that’s very interesting to me. I didn’t realize they were able to have a brand separate like that.

Also just so you can all know going forward. Google now puts tracking links at the end of all their shared media.

Both links are the same and work normally.

This has been a thing for a long time.
Every store has their own brand(s) of essential items.

I like the browser extension ClearURLs. It automatically removes tracking data from a majority of URLs. Additionally, it adds a context menu option for copying an embedded page link without the tracking stuff. It uses community sourced pattern/template data to identify tracking data, so it's constantly improving. Amazon URLs are actually readable with it lol.

Even when I was more libtarded, I knew this would be a major problem. It doesn't take a genius to see we have had failing infrastructure for decades prior to this immigration boom, hardly being able to handle those like us who were born here. I have been fully expecting this for a long time, but it's still hitting me hard mentally. Everything is so fucked, having government employees spend hundreds of thousands on vacations disguised as a meeting to discuss the country's economic problems among other things.

The public finally speaking up gives me hope. All we can do is be optimistic. However, I think the feds' hate speech bill will get extended to speech that "incites violence against politicians or federal employees" pretty soon as people start bringing out the pitchforks.

CRTC should not have approved any of those acquisitions but the CRTC decision makers consist of... former Bell and Rogers execs. Tekksavvy has been screeching about what really goes on there for a good 10-15 years. No one cares except maybe your usual cheapskates who just want cheaper internet rather than the total corruption and rot exposed or changed. Like banking regs, the point is to regulate external competition out of the market not regulate those already in it. Maybe normies will get pissed if they suddenly can't jerk it anymore or the CBC auto-signs them up for MAID if they complain about Red Green show reruns but I have doubts at this point.

Also Primus was utterly terrible... basically just a dysfunctional call center in India and front for Bell and that was like 20+ years ago.

I don't think they were owned by Bell until recently. They were acquired by Distributel in 2021 and Distributel was acquired by Bell in 2022. Unless Bell owned them before Distributel? They've been piggybacking of Rogers infrastructure in my neck of the woods.

Used them for res. and business a long long time ago. They were mainly a Bell reseller and might as well have been Bell. No techs just send out the techs from whoever they were reselling in your location (ie, Bell techs) that bill you for either unauthorized work they did or didn't do or doing work that didn't fix the problem and then say if you were using Bell you wouldn't be getting any bills. No one to talk to at Primus just Pajeets and sales and then later just 100% sales Pajeets. This is one of the few CRTC regulatory success stories.

All the Internet providers consolidating into 2-3 large telecoms

This has been the case my entire life?

Any small service provider has to hook into Rogers/Bell anyway if they aren't outright reselling Rogers/Bell services.

They use Bell/Rogers infrastructure, but were separate ISPs. The CRTC forced Bell/Rogers to sell bandwidth. Bell and Rogers could not see your activity when you used these small providers and the providers had their own servers and set of IPs.

Think of the dial up days. If you had AOL Canada dial up and used Bell's phone lines to dial into AOL Canada's servers, that doesn't make Bell your ISP. AOL Canada would have been your ISPs, and Bell's copper was just the method by which you were connecting to that server. Same type of situation, though granted a working phone line was required as well at the time.

You guys are talking about the situation like it's a Lucky/Virgin/Bell-Fido/Rogers-Public/Koodo/Telus type of thing, but it's not. Those are discount brands own by the big telecoms, these were independant companies that were able to piggyback on existing infrastructure due to CRTC rules. Bell and Rogers were actually quite pissed about it, which is why they are now buying up these companies and lowering their introductory offers to try and run them out of business. Once everyone is bought or goes under, they will raise prices again.

The rule change came about because Bell and Cable Co's used public subsidies and grants to build the infrastructure at taxpayer's expense and then kept the profits to themselves.

These companies are Independent in a sense, but fully dependent on whoever they are reselling. You get a different front office basically... some had their own routing hardware and gateway etc. some had very little. But everything with the reseller is subject to external whims, and any duopolistic opportunity to interfere or degrade your service is an opportunity for them to gain a customer back from their point of view.

 

[wry wrangler]

Fucking I hate Indians. I didn't used to hate Indians, as recently as 2-3 years ago. But now I recognize them as the laziest, smelliest, stupidest people on the planet. And I honestly wish every single one of them would be deported, including those born here.

I think you're drastically underselling how much network infrastructure most last mile resellers actually have on their end, but regardless, you'd be hard pressed to argue resellers being purchased by bigger telecoms is not bad for the end consumer or that it doesn't consolidate power in the market.

Canadians going from smug liberals tut-tutting over their superiority to Americans to angry, whiny racists is going to make you even more hated online than you already were.
