I would rather walk for six months than spend 5 hours squished into modern aircraft.

Not only would I be far more comfortable, I would have life experiences other than dealing with people I would rather be as far away from as possible, and I would be in better shape, and would likely make friends along the way.

Obviously, but Spicygay saying "Receive Christ" seems like a human oxymoron.

You're mixing the Signal Foundation up with the original creator of Signal who has stepped down and is no longer involved... And is off...

checks notes

Building fucking AI bots apparently? Thank goodness he's not involved with Signal anymore.

As someone who moved from a province with flouride to one without it in the water, no flouride in the water is a greedy dentists wet dream.

Never had a cavity but now without flouride they just keep coming.

I hear you, and agree wholly. Unfortunately that's as much solace as I can offer for now.

And combine that with all the private user data they have from the corp social medias and they have the very Big Brother no one wanted a government to ever have.

It is "a centre" not "the center" of an object, but rather "a centre" as in a building.

In Canada, the only province that historically has a rate that high is Ontario, and that is because they use Nuclear power, which is more expensive to maintain, and also they have no protection laws for consumers. So residents of Ontario pay what the US companies are willing to pay for power.

The neighbouring province, Quebec, uses primarily Hydro Electric dams, and has protection laws that restrict pricing for hydro power for residents of Quebec to a reasonable margin above cost, regardless of what the US is willing to pay for the power.

When I lived in Ontario, the price was $24c/kwh, while Quebec was $8/kwh

Ontario has had new laws passed with the energy board and now it appears their price is down to $14c/kwh according to this site, but I'm willing to bet that is highly dependent on surge pricing. Getting straight answer on costs is difficult these days with all the tiered pricing.

Apparently Alberta is more expensive than Ontario now.. Must be all that "freedom" they have... Did they privatise electric in addition to everything else there? I'm not familiar with how their grid is powered.. Maybe its oil/coal based. Which would be unsurprising.
