Daryl@lemmy.caOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•American firms are now Canadian!!! The ultimate 'great lie'.51·13 hours agoWhat Canada really needs is for someone (government agency, nonprofit organization, public group) to trade-mark a particularly Canadian symbol, closely regulate its use, and corporations that meet strict Canadian content criteria are allowed to use it. Thus, truly Canadian companies and businesses could be easily identified.

They are called ‘biometric’ because they are ‘metric’ - a mathematical model of the face, not just a photo of the face. They take features of the face and insert them into an algorithm and out pops a number that completely represents the face. That number can be compared to a number for any other face, no matter what the position or orientation of the face, and determine if it is the same face.
Having your picture taken and placed on file is one thing. Doing bio analysis of your facial features and recording THAT is quite another. The difference between a finger print and just a photo of your hand.
The devil is in the details. The US is just using the border as a development/testing pool of victims that have essential zero rights to protest or object to whatever is done.
Once perfected, this will be implemented by all US institutions - driving license, automobile registration, health insurance, and eventually every American will have their facial biometric on file. Get caught on any of the billions of surveillance cameras, instant recognition and identification. Post a photo in any social media platform, the government knows who you are. Critical of government policies? There will be no such thing as anonymity.This is truly ‘big brother’.
So, go across the border into the US? You are identified for life, and your movements can be traced, even in Canada through any social media post with your picture, by US agents. Even from a crowd scene photo.
Actually, I am a lot more interested in the daily hive. Has anyone experienced reading it long enough to detect its bias? Looks like an interesting independent Canadian news outlet, but little information on its financial backing.

But I suppose it would 'work n long-distance space travel, where dairy would not exist.
Daryl@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody WantsEnglish11·4 days agoHow abut: The truck is just plain ugly.
It looks like a refuse bin. Square back, low opening front.
When I worked in a lime quarry, we used a bin something like that shape to put all the crap and garbage in The a-frame had a bar across the top and the kiln truck picked it up worth its hoist and loaded it on the back, and hauled away the load to the dump.
Daryl@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Ontario set to begin construction of Canada's 1st mini nuclear power plant11·5 days agoWhat the Americans did, among others, was to convince the port authorities that they needed to demand such exorbitant levels of insurance on any ship carrying a nuclear cargo that it made the cost to shipping lines just too expensive.
Daryl@lemmy.caOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada has more manufacturing jobs per capita than the US.1·6 days agoWhen the business press brings out ANYTHING as if they have anything meaningful to say on the subject is a non-sequitur…
The business press just uses doubletalk to either support or reject the current governance policies. The super=rich ignore it, because by the time it gets into the business press it is too late and they have made their move months ago.
Daryl@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Ontario set to begin construction of Canada's 1st mini nuclear power plant1·6 days agoIt is not insuring the reactor for replacement, it is insuring the entire nuclear powered ship so it can enter a port. Ships collide. Ships crash. Ships hit bridges. An oil spill is one thing, nuclear contamination of the entire port is another.
Daryl@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•The Canadian government wanted grocers to keep it up to date on efforts to stabilize food prices. Sobeys and Metro refused11·7 days agoOpen your eyes. It IS that orchestrated. The same line in the similar protests organized in the same fashion showing up within days of each other in different countries around the world. Someone is planning the timing of these events, well ahead of them.
The sooner the general public recognizes the pattern, educated or not, the sooner we can intervene.
Security Services already recognize this - an event happens somewhere in the world,they all go on alert knowing there will be a follow-up somewhere else in the world.
Daryl@lemmy.caOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•The Ontario That Almost Was—The French River and the Georgian Bay Ship Canal2·7 days agoThat is the problem with Canadians - we dismiss clear visionary projects too soon, just because there is ‘something else’ that vested interests want to protect their investment in. The Americans wanted the Seaway, and they did NOT want the Northern route because they would have no control over it. The Avro again and again and again. Canada does only what the Americans can control. I don’t see anyone complaining that the super-port for ocean-going freighters at Thunder Bay spoiled the North. Still as picturesque as ever.
Daryl@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•The Canadian government wanted grocers to keep it up to date on efforts to stabilize food prices. Sobeys and Metro refused11·7 days agoThere is nothing ‘free’ about the CBC. There is no such thing as a free lunch. We get the CBC through public funds only as long as the CBC presents the face the government wants. CBC bashes China precisely because the previous Trudeau government set that as the objective. Even the CBC ombudsman made that clear to me.
Daryl@lemmy.caOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada has more manufacturing jobs per capita than the US.11·7 days agoAhhh, words of wisdom from the minds of the hard-core dogmatic ‘as it was, so shall it always be’ cult. It depends if you are teaching history or modern wealth management.
Of course they will.
