Flock cameras are not the only problem, ring doorbell cameras and their similar products are also collecting our data and used to train a.I. and watch us and the thing is it is easy to have an off line/local motion detection camera for safety.
Carney liberals will refuse to ban them.
The only government who would is the ndp and we won't have them in any time soon.
Flock should be banned from Canada. Like ffs can't we even build our own dystopian security state apparatus? Shameful.
I really wish someone would call out Carney on this shit in a very public forum.
But no, instead he is gonna get praise for a standard neoliberal stuff.
He doesn't care. He is the most conservative PM we got in decades. He is fully about dropping all pretense of human rights and civil rights and democracy. He does not give one fucking iota about Canadian sovereignty more than he has to. I am confident the moment trump is dead he will immediately want to normalize all relations with the US and do his best to act like it never happened.
Every time Lewis tries the msm bury the story under of layers of misdirections or outright try to get him murdered.
UBC, city of Brampton and Highway 407 seem to be the hotspots.
Highway 407 is an odd inclusion because... Yeah? Of course it has license plate readers, it's a toll road. That's how they charge the toll.
Otherwise, yeah, Brampton seems to be the big one. Patrick Brown working for his corporate masters again.
It's internationally owned? My guess
At least the ones that have been mapped so far.
If you (anyone) spots one, do everyone else a favour and add it to the map.
The notice here on the site reads Flock Cameras have not yet officially been confirmed to be in Canada yet.
Apparently Home Depot in Toronto has plans for them to be installed, to help with their theft issues. The same theft issues the cops already do sweet fuck all about. But apparently having AI hallucinations telling the cops that XYZ did the crime is somehow going to help them.
i forgot home depot even in the states, was a premiere target for shoplifting expensive home improvement equipment, and selling it.(remember the shoplifitng sub, before it was shutdown in the 1st term). it was shoplifters primary target, followed by lowes. they often use the garden section to throw lifted material over the fence.
Man duck home depot. I try to buy from Rona when I can since trump anyways.
While Rona is a "Canadian" company, it is owned by Sycamore Partners since 2023. An American private equity firm based in New York.
I'm not sure what's left nationally beyond Home Hardware and Canadian Tire. Regionally and locally there may be some additional options.
Windsor Plywood has quite a few franchises.
Home Hardware FTW!
Princess Auto is Canadian, but more for vehicles.
And then some of your independent hardware stores like Preston in Ottawa.
There is also online Canadian stores instead.
Thankfully the rona near me is a fully independent location that only shares the name, it might not be the only one so it may be worth checking.
Well fuck.
Man duck home depot
let me guess, you're standing in front of a home depot and are calling out things you see?
Man duck autocorrect.
What the fork is up with this shirt?
This is the Bad Place!
I think Rona is American owned now.
Why the fuck does Home Depot have these?
MAGA ownership. Shop at Home Hardware instead.
they were one of the quickest to accommodate ICE, so now if you want to hire a day laborer you go to any other hardware store. still got the same owners
Fuck sakes
