That’s what I was hopingmthe plan was. We’ll have to wait and see.

I’m guessing that the “cheese” component wasn’t actually what anyone outside of the USA would call cheese.

I don’t think so. The mail is delivered to the Proton mail server via unencrypted SMTP and then sent on to the client encrypted. The secure layer is between the client and the server. It might also be stored on the server encrypted.

Email is unsecure as hell in any event, but I think the idea is that once it’s delivered, it’s secured.

Isn’t Proton supposed to be end to end encryption between crient and server? And wouldn’t that rule out IMAP?

And don’t forget, this is pretty sensitive stuff. So you have to make sure that it’s a well built website or it’s going to be a disaster. It’s not just a page, it has to have some kind of content system behind it that non-programming staff can interact with and keep up to date.

Officially? I thought that they were going on a vote by vote basis. In that case, given that the CPC will always vote against the government, when something comes up that both the Bloc and the NDP are against it becomes a race to say who will vote against it first. This forces the other party to vote for something they dislike, or suffer an election (at least for confidence motions).

So, would a longer time to a leadership vote mean that the NDP would have to shore up the Liberal minority to prevent an election until after they pick a new leader?

Virtually anything by Bernard Cornwell.

The key word is “immediately”. It is within his power to delay the byelection for months.

I’m not so sure about the “jaws of Victory” bit. I think that Canadians were just fed up with Trudeau, couldn’t bring themselves to vote NDP and ended up polling Conservative. So it wasn’t really support for PP, but unsupport for Trudeau.

Take Trudeau out of the equation and the Liberals came flooding back to the party.

I’m not sure that I can remember that being done for any leader at the federal level in the past 50 years or so. We’ll have to wait and see.

He still gets to be party leader, but he cannot sit in Parliament. There are two remedies for this. First, the party can choose a new leader from their elected MPs. Second, they can have an MP in a “safe” riding step down and then ask the government for a special by-election in that riding.

I call BS.

I’m Canadian and my parents immigrated here from England before I was born. I have a UK passport as well as a Canadian passport.

I’m not English-Canadian, I’m just Canadian. No one hyphenates in Canada, and you cannot say that Canada has any more unifying cultural heritage than the USA.

That number is supposed to be how much of the tariff that the exporter passes through to the importer. Essentially this is a measure of how much the producers lower their profits to lower the price to compensate for the tariffs. In other words how much the producer “pays for” the tariffs.

This factor is “backwards”, in that it doesn’t represent how much the producer swallows, but how much they pass on to the importer. Trump’s calculations assume that the producer only passes on 25% of the tariff price increase, but the experts say the number should be much closer to 95%.

I have to idea what “4” means.

I’m not no sure. 90%+ of these services are commodities and nobody gives a damn who the provider is from a technical perspective. There’s no physical component, so it’s literally a matter of signing a contract, spinning up a server/service, move the data and point everything to the new service.

And yeah, there are technical issues that come up, and nothing is ever that easy. But think about how fast many, many companies were able to sort that kind stuff out when the had to when COVID hit.

And that’s the thing. Cloud service disruption can be an existential crisis, so why would you leave it in the hands of a hostile foreign power?

Petrichor?

This just in: Water is wet!!!

Who said anything about re-election? Perhaps a coronation?

He’ll, if the requirements were gender neutral, then every astronaut would be a woman based on weight alone.

Buy Canadian is best, but anything will do if it isn’t American.
