Hi! 👋You seem to be looking at my profile for some reason. How did you get here, I wonder?
I'm not a bot, but I don't post or reply much. I'm mostly a passive observer, a "spectator" on social media.
If I've reposed something then I've probably found it particularly interesting or useful somehow.

The Canadian government’s inclusion of warrantless information demand powers in Bill C-2 may make this the most dangerous lawful access proposal yet. My post on how it demands disclosure from every service provider from telecom companies to your local dry cleaner.

PP's goal of defunding the CBC makes more sense now. Also, all those attacks a few months ago about Singh's pension make sense. I had completely forgotten about this.

When Mike Myers wore his "Canada Is Not For Sale" t-shirt on SNL, he mouthed a secret code: "elbows up."
It's a reference to the great Gordie "Mr. Elbows" Howe who punished those that messed with his team.
You heard him Canada: elbows up.
If anyone asks why, tell them that Mike Myers sent you.

He is a toxic oligarch and a pal of Trump.
