I'm convinced you're trolling or genuinely really dumb.

I'm off, enjoy your monologue rants.

Yeah, I can't wait to trust the feds that can't even work out their stupid CRA website with being a source of reliable news aggregation. Just last year I SAW someone else's tax reports on my account.

If you want to go on full /r/communism about Google, there's a subreddit for that. But giving the finger to Canadians and internet freedom just because you hate Google is wack. City Nouvelles is not getting a dime from this bill.

Google doesn't control the news as you tried to imply in another comment. That's ridiculous. People that use Google made the choice to use Google for their news. Just like you chose Lemmy, some choose Meta, others choose Reddit, MSN, Yahoo, Bing, etc.

All this does is kill independent news sources and cutting choices from Canadians for the profit of the few rich corps in Canada. It's a pure money grab.

The amount of people that don't understand how important a news propagator like Google is is mind-blowing. Access to information is a right. This beats this right down to a pulp.

"HURR DURR GOOGLE BAD HUE HUE GOOD RIDDANCE HUE HUE I'M LE INTELLECTUAL"

Really sad. This fucked every news org. Hard. Except the big ones that own everything.

I believe technically it wasn't. I remember reading as a kid that they chased out other aboriginal tribes from this territory that had to move south.

Rocket is slowly becoming abandonware. Actix seems like the only one with reliable development.

Can't wait to honour indigenous people with coins most people don't use anymore just to steal more of their land for construction projects!

Licensed construction workers paid 25$/hr, illegals paid 12$/hr only for the owner of the company to roll around in a Model X taking a 70% cut.

I've lived in Montreal for 22 years and I can comfortably say that Montreal is an amazing city. Probably one of the best in the world. But holy fuck does the province suck ass. 40%+ income tax, 15% sales tax, tax de bienvenu, tax over tax, etc. only to get treated like a second class citizen if I start a conversation with "Hi" instead of "Bonjour" with the wrong person.

The weather, the healthcare system and the infrastructure are by far the most miserable things about the city. The rest is fantastic. But those 3 together make it a rough pill to swallow sometimes.
