  • And this is my point actually, what are they trying to ban, is it the use of a VPN completely, or is it for only VPN that spoof locations out of country. (Which is what allows someone to circumvent the age-id, at the moment.)

    Now that being said I work with people in the UK and they VPN into our office for network access and project file access. Does anyone see how this could impact access for Brits working with global firms for example?


  • Though a VPN does not provide you with guaranteed anonymity, it only allows you to access webpages and local services as if you were at that physical location, or on that specific network.

    Connecting to your work office VPN and browsing Facebook does not make you anonymous, it’s just makes you look like you are sitting in the office.

    How can you ban a VPN (virtual private network)?

    I have a VPN setup at home and at my parents home, I can connect either as if I was at either location physically. My office has VPNs for connecting between offices and connecting from remote locations. And dont get me started about being and to purchase a VPS in any country you want, and run a VPN on it.

    Does this mean people and companies can no longer setup their own VPN’s.

    If this is about privacy and anonymity, evey bowsers on any device has a unique identifying fingerprint that allows it to be identifiable even using a VPN. So what is this ban even targeting?

  • Last year the Province passed Bill 212, Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, which sought to remove 19 kilometres of Toronto’s protected bike lanes.

    Together, we fought back and won.

    But the court decision did not stop the Province from blocking new bike lanes. And now it is trying to do exactly that with Bill 60, Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act.

    Bill 212 at least pretended it would set criteria for new bike lanes. Bill 60 drops the pretense. It lets the Province ban any reduction of motor vehicle lanes, and the wording is so broad that it will not just impact bike lanes but also affect bus priority lanes, patios, school streets, and other street improvements that rely on reallocating space. This isn’t just about settling grudges against Toronto. The consequences will be felt across Ontario.

    Now the province intends to skip committee and rush the legislation through without hearing from feedback from the public.










  • I don’t understand why simply future stock was just not cancelled along with any current shipments, letting current remaining stock just “dry up” and not get restocked.

    The public could have even bought the remaining stock and just poured it out while capturing it in a TickTok video.

    It seems like such a waste of time and resources to “pull items off the shelf” for a business. You need to pay staff to take it off the shelf, pack it up, and then take time and effort to truck it back somewhere. Adding to all this transportation costs and the pulling it off a truck and restocking it somewhere. And now storage costs as well…

    The stock was already paid for by the LCBO if I am not missing something blatantly obvious. The LCBO now has a quantity of already purchased stock they can’t sell, and paying storage costs for.
