    Can’t read the article due to Cloudflare as someone already said, but OP is frequently posting ‘Canada bad’ headlines with questionable and biased content, including from ‘Canadian Dimesion,’ an apparent propaganda outlet conveying Chinese Communist Party and similar autocratic narratives.

    Rabble dot ca got cloudflared so I can’t see the article, but who needs democracy when you’ve got a strong leader, tough on crime, who can really get things done, forcefully confront our problems, thrust forward with nation-building projects like helping the world burn even more fossil fuels, and boldly invest in the future by buying expensive military hardware from all over the world. Listening to parliament — let alone listening to civil liberties nuts and environmentalist weirdos who don’t have the financial clout it takes to make a difference in the new Canada — would only slow them down.

        In principle, it’s a bad idea to route so many of everyone’s web requests through one central provider. It gives them too much power to track everything. It’s not how the web was meant to work.

        In practice, the techniques they use to try and keep out the bots also keep out people like me who like to make our web browsers slightly more secure by disabling parts of the vast and overly-complicated set of features implemented in javascript, such as those that are normally only used for browser fingerprinting. Over time it’s become increasingly difficult to figure out all the things I’d need to do to have my usual browser pass all their tests, and in this era of plentiful browser 0-days I’m more reluctant than ever to spend any time trying.

      Can’t tell if serious. Like, if this was Reddit, sure, but on here it might be sarcastic.

      Edit: Oh, “helping the world burn even more fossil fuels”, definitely sarcastic.

      You don’t want more of a military, even with Trump next door talking about soft-invading?
