Because they've built the production systems and talent to do it. Once you ramp up those systems then you can build quicker. We can't anymore because of decades of anti-nuclear advocacy.

Not against foreign owned companies they cannot. As much as they would love to force these companies to both carry and pay for news, those companies can choose not to carry the news and thus not pay for it. Canada can not force them to do so.
Yes, key word here is "make deals," which is what Australia ended up doing. They didn't just dictate terms like Canada seems to want to. The entire point of these companies banning news is to remind our government that no, you can't just dictate your terms, you actually have to negotiate. Maybe they will, we'll have to wait and see.
Just make a bot that reposts CBC rss feeds. I guess you might need to filter ads if they put those in-between stories, some rss feeds do.
The whole point of the bill that caused this is that they want money. They won't get money out of the fediverse. It was never about exposure.
Hah, "I would be around other people!" .... "actually not I'm in my bunker fuck you all."
Also, I do think it's realistic to get people to eat less meat. Going one or two days without meat, or on days you do have meat just having less, would make a substantial impact. A lot of cultures eat a lot less meat than north american where people seem to expect a whole steak for each meal. Both Asian and Indian food has a lot less meat in each dish, for example.
The mostly meat and potatoes diet is something we can change realistically, I think.
I much prefer corporations owning rental housing than individuals. They at least have staff and somewhat understand the laws. The idea that all sorts of individuals will choose to be landlords of one or two properties and deal with all the toxic shit that comes with it is incredibly naive in my opinion.
That's not very notable, U of T also has faculty clubs that are licensed. Most universities even have grad clubs/bars for students.
Yes, the blocking in Australia was part of the negotiation as it is here in Canada. In the end the Australian news companies did have to negotiate, they did not get to demand whatever income they want like many people here seem to suggest and want.
From the article:
“If you were there, in this infant universe, one second would seem like one second – but from our position, more than 12 billion years into the future, that early time appears to drag.”
They are comparing to time now. If you assume a quasar expels stuff at the same rate through all time, then when you look far back in time you should see pulses coming from the distant stars at the same rate as now. Yes, that light took billions of years to get here but the pulsing rate should be the same.
They found that it isn't, it's five times slower, which implies that time then must be five times slower than now.
A little reality check for you, if you think people leaving a product because they don't like it means they are a "feces smearing toddler" then perhaps you should take a good long in the mirror and ask yourself when you became the asshole child.
