It is the one thing that unifies Canadians, whether right or left. haha

Probably one of the numerous countries with a wild and violent stray dog population.

Whether you like trouble shooting or not, if you use Linux, you need to get used to it and good at it.

The best tip I received when starting on Linux was "Break shit", and I believe it is still the best advice out there.

Keep an install ready, and go to town on your distro of choice. Test commands, turn things on and off, delete things, move things, and literally break shit. Then see if you can put it back together again. If not, install a fresh one and try again.

Repeat until you get it. haha

This is exactly what a bot would say...

Personally, nothing can be done. Starwars last chance for me was episode 7, but I already watched a New hope and didn't need a reboot.

What’s this guy’s deal, man. I thought he was supposed to be an economist?

Do Economists never cut spending?

People posting pay walled links will never not be annoying.

SPCA is a non-profit society. I don’t think they have the resources to hunt down puppy mills actively trying to subvert prohibition. RCMP is a national police force. I’m fairly certain puppy mills would fall near the bottom of their priorities list.

This is already a part of the SPCA's mandate, and the RCMP is involved in the shutting down of puppy mills the SPCA discovers under that mandate as well as assisting in abuse cases and the rest of the work the SPCA does that requires a Police presence.

I think a legal avenue is necessary to prevent established/responsible breeders from moving to the black market.

There is no such thing as a responsible breeder when shelters are at capacity and animals are being euthanized because of that. Until we have the stray, and shelter, populations under control there should be zero tolerance for breeding more animals as pets.

If that means that "reputable" and "responsible" breeders suddenly decide to illegally breed and sell animals on the "black market" that is what things like the SPCA and law enforcement are for.

But I agree with the sentiment. Animal/livestock cultivation in general has become a harmful practice that we need to reduce or change practices.

I agree that an overhaul of the entire system is needed, especially on the livestock side of things.

Full ban on all animal breeding; adopt don't shop.

 

Μαθαίνω ελληνικά. - I am learning Greek.

I am at the point of being able to read Greek, introduce myself, ask and respond to "how are you" and how to say "I am still learning Greek can we speak English". haha

 

Results may vary as it is entirely possible to also convince yourself it works with the same method

 

EDIT: Thanks to a helpful comment I see why I was wrong.
