  • I support the idea as Canadians need to become closer to other democratic countries and remove its dependence on the superpower down south that keeps attempting to water down our sovereignty, safety standards and institutions.

    Canadians need to get off this unhealthy attachment to the US in the name of “geography” as that’s just a cheap excuse to do nothing while enabling Washington’s problematic behaviour. We need to stop copying their accent, car-centric infrastructure, over the top individualism, date format, excessive airplane travel, automakers self-tests, single family homes.

    Uruguay doesn’t do their majority of trade with either Brazil and Argentina because they understand if feed one of the 2 larger countries too much they would become a vassal state that would be eventually militarily annexed.

    Britain used to be our largest trading partner in the past and yet people are saying that “it’s impossible” to do the same EU even though shipping has gotten much cheaper today.

    I wouldn’t mind adopting the euro as it simplify the experience in traveling and buying from European businesses as one wouldn’t need to pay for the conversion fees.

    Expanding the Schengen area to The Great White North would be incredible! Imagine all the sights the visitors could see.

    Having danish and french bases opened here would help Canada and Greenland defend against the tyrants in Washington DC.































  • As the name implies, Direct-to-Cell (D2C) provides internet and messaging by connecting smartphones directly to a satellite. Unlike Starlink, D2C doesn’t require ground terminals, “dishes,” or routers to function.

    Capabilities found in many smartphones manufactured from 2020 onwards — such as those powering Apple’s Emergency SOS via Satellite — provide the technical foundation for the connectivity.

    proven useful in humanitarian disasters, they typically rely on cooperation with local cellular carriers. This, Alimardani explains, would not be a “viable solution in Iran” as state-controlled ISPs would block circumvention methods.

    Now, however, a second generation of D2C is emerging that could overcome these limitations.
