Anti-Canadian propaganda.

The framers of the Constitution assumes that everyone would act in good faith in using the Notwithstanding Clause. They didn't consider the possibility of the rise of christofascists willing to use it to take away our hard earned rights and consolidate power.

Where is the Justice Center for Consttutional Freedom? Why aren't they defending these protesters? Oh, right...they're actually just a right wing troll farm that supports white supremacists, white nationalists, racists, Diagaloons, and other assholes. They don't take on real cases of Consttutional issues.

Remember the United People of Canada who tried to buy the church in Ottawa them stiffed the seller and refused to leave?

They're back!

They should talk to YouTube to find out how successful their months long efforts to block at blockers have been. This is an effort by pearl clutchers to do the impossible in a domain that they know absolutely nothing about.

Is it to much to ask that the Conservatives actually tell us what their plans are, in detail, to solve the problems that they're moaning about instead of doing nothing but chant, "TrUdEaU bAd!" ad nauseum?

It's not over until the Supreme Court sings.

They are hearing and judgement reports from the board so there is that.

The article clearly states that the reports must be supported by documents from the TLB. Those records are public.

That's like giving someone who is driving without a license a license suspension. Poeple who hunt without a license don't care about being banned from hunting legally. They were already hunting illegally.

[–] MapleEngineer 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

So they suspended the hunting licenses that they didn't have?

<YAWN!> means you're boring. Your childish insults are boring. Your banal political commentary is boring. Your sanctimonious, "That's why I couldn't be bothered to reply" while looking down your nose is boring.

 

Our property is covered with wild raspberry, will black raspberry, and wild blackberry cane. I picked these this morning. I got about 500 ml (2 c) of berries. I've tinned them and will freeze them until I can pick more over the next few days. Then...I'll make black raspberry jam!

Maybe.

I don't know.

My wife normally makes jam but she's away for the weeks. Maybe I'll give it a go.

My wife and kids are leaving for three weeks in Europe tomorrow evening just as the berries, tomatoes, and peppers begin to ripen. I don't know anything about sauce or jam making.

I guess I'm going to learn.

 

How long will a dozen wild raspberries sustain a family of four and all of your city friends who are planning to bug out to our place when the zombie apocalypse starts?

 

This is an early version of the board that I created because I was irritated by the fact that there were no shields available for the ProMini. It includes the ability to plug in one of those cheap, Chinese breadboard power supply boards and I stuck a DS1307 real time clock under it. The ProMini goes in the center then you can plug regular UNO shields into the carrier. These things worked well but I decided to make a bunch of shields specifically for the ProMini.

I bought a few of these years ago. They are a small board that plugs into the back of a standard 1602 LCD board. They come with an ATMEGA88 which I changed out for an ATMEGA328P. They have a 74HC595 and a MAX232 to drive the LCD and RS-232 respectively. The LCD interface is SPI and it pulls all of the ports out to standard ETTEAM 10-pin box headers.

I find this form factor amusing and have tinkered with it but have never used this for a project.

I've still got a bunch of DIP-28 ATMEGA328P chips. I've had these in my bin since the days before the SMD version of the 328P was widely available. I've got around 50 of the SMD version now that I'm using. These DIP-28s are just sitting here until my son or one of his friends want them for a school project.

 

This is the big daddy of Pro Minis. I have a bunch of these in my Arduino bin and in my biggest project, the Maple Syrup machine room that I call the SapMaster.

This board uses a micro-USB connector, ATMEGA2560, and a CH340G USB to serial chip.

This is an extremely capable chip. I pair it with an ESP32 and a dual FRAM board in the SapMaster controller.

I have a boat load of these in my Arduino bin and spread around in various projects.

This particular ProMini is based on an ATMEGA328P but I also have ATMEGA168s as well. This is a bare bones Arduino with no ICP port, no USB port, no power regulation, no nothing. This is just a 328P with a bit of supporting circuitry.

 

There are a bunch of these in my Arduino bin and in one project or another. My maple syrup machine started on an UNO but ran on a NANO V3 for several years before moving to a MEGA2560 Pro Mini.

This board uses a micro-USB port, a surface mount ATMEGA328P, and a CH340G USB to serial chip.
