Why didn't Trudeau scrap the carbon tax first? in c/askacanadian

I'm not sure how intentional b) is, but I think it will work. Plus, I believe what replaces it will not actually be better, just less transparent and not be in people's faces. Killing the tax and introducing a new non-consumer facing tax would get torn to shreds with Trudeau doing it.

Canadian alternatives to Big Tech? in c/buycanadian

I also am interested in VR, but not a huge gamer, so the Quest would probably be up my alley. However, I haven't succumbed to temptation because of the Meta connection. When the Deckard comes out, maybe I'll splurge.

I recently moved my email and it's been really slick. I chose it because you can use a custom domain with 1 free user, but adding additional users is at the right price point for me. The phone app and webapp have been good, better than gmail is these days. And the transfer of emails from gmail was very easy.

My one hiccup was starting out I had to validate and it took me a while to figure out how I could call an international number (I installed Fongo and watched a couple ads for some free credits)

Next Federal Election (self.canada)

When I think of the next federal election, I get a feeling of hopelessness. I feel like we're screwed no matter what.

Without any hope of electoral reform, I wonder if we can instead use the tools we have better.

Independents running always seems like a long shot. The cards are stacked against them. But would it be possible to make it easier for them?

One of my thoughts would be to use technology. Create a platform for people to engage with their local riding, stripped of obvious party association. And not pay-to-play for candidates.

Does an idea like that have merit? Do you have any other ideas?
