I'm of two minds on this; the Cons would seem to support business at the detriment of the Canadian public, so offshoring would bolster profits of these businesses and therefore desirable to both sides. But Canadian conservatives seem to have a healthy distrust of the CCP, which doesn't seem to be so big of a hot button for the Liberals, especially give the high support they enjoy from immigrants, which are largely Chinese. So it could go both ways. Obviously the CCP have latched on to the Liberals, but I actually think they could make more inroads more easily by greasing the Conservatives financially and by making it easier for Canadian firms to do business in China.

Both parties are schizophrenic when it comes to the Chinese. I think when it comes to getting elected (the primary driver of the LPC), they'll publicly support China, but when they're in power they'll do what they can to keep them down in the interests of Canadians.

Whether you like it or not, our wagon is hitched to the US. I don't think it took a campaign of interference to accomplish that. Historically, geographically, politically and culturally we are much, much more like the US than any other country.

Edit: posting from my lemmy.ca account because lemmy.world is down the shitter again it would seem.

The CSIS documents reveal that the campaign’s primary goals were to ensure that a minority Liberal government was returned in 2021, and to defeat Conservative politicians considered to be unfriendly to Beijing.

So I'd say decidedly "anti".

Does anyone know of a Canadian provider that offers an IOT data plan for multiple SIMs that share the data pool? I have a pile of telemetry devices I'd like to move to LTE with minor data needs per month each, but I need a low monthly cost per device with a shared data pool of like 5GB.

Yah, I'm in N Alberta and a farmer, fixing things at -30 is never fun. Those MC4 connectors are a pain in the ass when they're cold.

140 is a little light but yah, it's definitely a solar thing only. It's possible it bounced over the 150 for a very short time to trip the cutout, and the 140 number you're seeing is a time-smoothed average in your reporting system. If you're using something trustworthy like a Smartshunt to get that data, then yah, tripping 10V short isn't great.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

What a bunch of shitbirds. Fuck me, I'm so glad I'm shut of that dumpster fire. Let 'er burn.

I've never understood why women support the Church in the droves that they do. It's mainly women keeping Catholicism alive despite being treated like shit for more than a thousand years.

I think this and blocking all users from a specific server are the top feature requests. Maybe followed closely by account migration.

I'd do this with the Lemmygrad tankies in a heartbeat.
