Until this week, Canada not testing returning international flight passengers into Canada. We just started mandatory Home Self Isolation on the same returning passengers.
We were also not testing illegal border crossers as they come north from the US.
It also very seems petty to still play politics during this health crisis.
I would seem prudent to save your breath for afterwards; this is a respiratory virus after all...
The Canadian government should not have allowed the ISPs, cellular and Cable Companies to own TV Channels and content in the first place...
What I do not understand is why Bell, which has, iirc, the majority shareholder being the Ontario Teacher's Union, being so anti consumer. Those teachers should correct the ship's course.
I remember when Canada used to be different than the US. We had our unique, relaxed views, politics and policing that were not as crazy as in the US during the end of the last century.
We started catching up to US levels of Political corruptness, to US Police Policies and all the rest that Canadians in their 30's and older just understand by living through it.
Now, with Stingray Towers, Drones, RCMP planting or even making terrorists, political madness, etc., Canada is no different than the US in our new race to Screw the Citizens, the very Voters who put the current Federal and Provincial Powers in Power.
We used to protect the innocent, the average populous from unwarranted (literally) searches like Stingray Hardware brings to whole communities at once.

When will a Big company like Google, Facebook, etc. take a stand (not against reducing hate speech) against a country that wants all the personal data, final control, data deletion, etc. and say,
"No, that is asking too much and going too far. Stop forcing us to (for example) destroy the privacy of our users in your country by passing all their data to you, or we will shut down operations in your borders."
And then the company has the cojones to follow through.
Maybe China, Russia, the UK, and even the US of A will realise they cant have all that data, because they have no right to all that data...
The first car they Brick because someone Uber / Lyfts with their own Tesla; whether they bought it before or after this announcement, will be the beginning of the end of Tesla...
"Adirondack owner John Carr says no one would confuse Moosehead and Moose Wizz. He points out that one is a beer and the other is a soda."
They need a sliding scale of how many Moosehead Beers the average person has to drink before they confuse root beer with beer.
Of course, they would need one scale for the US of A, and a smaller (metric?) scale for Canadian Beers, which are notoriously more alcoholic in nature; at least north of the border...
History shows that anything, ANYTHING that an ISP or Cable Company doesn't want to do because they insist it would be bad for the consumer is a bold faced lie and most likely is actually in the consumer's best interest.
They have been trying to raise prices, stop technical progress, lower consumer options, introduce lower data caps, fight unbundled content, etc. with the same damn rhetoric since before time began...
When are these very old school dinosaur thinking corporate idiots going to retire so civilization can progress?
It happened at the end of the year. Which a lawyer would call timely and strategic.
It also happened near the end of the post production period. The show is essentially completed and the funds have I assume been essentially spent. So the production team is "Pot Committed" in Poker parlance...
IMHO, I think CBS is being a real Troll here. Hitting the production at it's weakest point just before release.
There should be a push for a fan rally online and in front of CBS's HO threatening to boycott further Big Budget Movies and the slated new TV Show unless CBS retracts the case and starts realizing they are giving themselves a self induced Vulcan Nerve Pinch... Ouch!
Sounds like the kind of Vocal Trigger Worlds the Russians would use for Sleeper Operatives in the USA; because of course, it would never be spoken in normal conversation...
Techdirt has not posted any stories submitted by DocRobot.
If you think he is slow to respond, try Canada...

How Many Beers?!?

Ego, they still pay sales taxes, liquor taxes, et al.
I think you meant to say Homeless people don't pay Property Taxes as they do not own a home...

The Timing is important for a number of reasons:
