Althia Raj: Mark Carney is quietly giving sweeping new powers to his ministers


"Hidden in the federal government’s 634-page omnibus bill C-15, the Budget Implementation Act, is a measure that has so far escaped scrutiny. Under the pretext of regulatory efficiency, Prime Minister Mark Carney plans to grant cabinet ministers the power to exempt any individual or company from any federal law on the books — except for the Criminal Code — for up to six years."

For anyone else who likes to go straight to the source, it's on pages 300-302 of the bill.

I wasn't expecting much from a literal banker, but what the heck Carney? Just... what?


Video shows masked Border Patrol agent chasing woman back to her Louisiana home


Jacelynn Guzman said she is a U.S.-born citizen. The Department of Homeland Security said Friday that it "determined the individual in question was not the target."

Masked immigration authorities were recorded on video this week following a woman back to her Louisiana home during what the Department of Homeland Security is calling a “targeted immigration enforcement operation.”

Jacelynn Guzman, 23, was walking home Thursday from a corner store in Marrero, a New Orleans suburb, when a silver, unmarked SUV pulled up next to her and two masked agents exited, she said.

“I was walking and the first car pulled up on the side of me and I thought it was an Uber,” she said. “They said, ‘Wait don’t run, Ma’am.’ That’s all I heard before I blasted off,” Guzman told NBC News on Saturday.

Guzman said she repeatedly told the agents she’s a U.S. citizen.

Geohot: Bikeshedding, or why I want to build a laptop


Tldr: he wants a non-upgradeable laptop that is maxed out from day one. I'd want a bit more upgrade path than he does, but he has some interesting thoughts.

Buying a laptop every other year is fucking wasteful. I don't get why those people think it's a good idea to ruin the planet for marginal gains.

I buy a maxed out laptop every 8 years. My 2008 laptop just lost its battery this year, but still works when plugged in.


Honduras Plunges Into Post-Election Turmoil as Electoral Official Alleges “Monumental Fraud”


José Luis Granados Ceja
Dec 06, 2025

Days removed from Sunday’s presidential vote, and still without a clear winner, Honduras’s post-election crisis became more contentious after a member of the country’s electoral authority denounced “monumental electoral fraud” on Thursday evening.

Marlon Ochoa, a representative for the Libre Party on the three-member National Electoral Council (CNE), alleged coordinated and deliberate electoral fraud carried out by the other council members, Cossette Alejandra López-Osorio of the National Party and Ana Paola Hall of the Liberal Party.

in reply to Peter Link

For context:

Libre is a third party that was formed in 2011. They're a coalition of leftist groups, and are democratic socialists.

In 2012 and 2013, at least 18 of their pre-candidates, candidates and staff were murdered.

In 2013, they lost the almost certainly fraudulent presidential election to the right-wing National Party candidate - Juan Orlando Hernández Alvarado, the narcotics trafficker who was just pardoned by Trump.

RSF strike on Kordofan kindergarten kills dozens, mostly children


A drone strike by Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) hit a kindergarten in South Kordofan, killing 50 people, including 33 children, the Sudan Doctors Network (SDN) said late on Friday.

The group said the RSF and its ally, Abdelaziz al-Hilu’s faction of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement - North (SPLM-N), on Thursday carried out “deliberate suicide-drone attacks" on the kindergarten and several civilian facilities in Kalogi town.

The SDN, a group that has been supporting civilians throughout the course of Sudan's war, said paramedics responding to the scene came under “a second, unexpected attack”.



Canada has legal duty to provide safe water, housing to remote First Nations, federal judge rules


A federal judge has sided with two First Nations in Manitoba and one in Ontario that sued the Canadian government over its duty to provide them with safe housing and clean drinking water, in separate rulings delivered Friday.

The federal government has had a duty to ensure Shamattawa First Nation, and other First Nations who opt into the northern Manitoba First Nation's class-action, were provided access to drinking water safe for human use over the claim period, Justice Paul Favel said in a decision.

Shamattawa launched the class-action, which was certified in 2023, on behalf of all First Nations members countrywide whose communities were subject to a drinking water advisory in effect on or after June 20, 2020.

in reply to HellsBelle

Seems to me that if the Federal government told them where they must live, that government has a responsibility to provide safe drinking water. For nations that are self governed and are able to move around on their traditional lands, I’d argue that it’s up to them to find safe drinking water.

Treaty status and details should also be taken into consideration.

in reply to Em Adespoton

It would also depend on other things. Even if they are currently on their traditional lands, they might still be limited by the size of the reservation they were given which could have no access to water other than ground wells, no rivers or lakes. Then the government should also be responsible for them.
in reply to Pyr

I mean, if there was no natural water supply it wouldn't have been part of their traditional lands.

The big exception I see is if resource extraction had caused pollution or other direct problems that make a traditional water source unsafe.

in reply to BlameThePeacock

And we know resource extraction has happened a lot in remote regions. I mean who's heard of a mine opening in downtown Toronto?
in reply to BlameThePeacock

Reserve and traditional lands are different things

If the lake or river is one their traditional lands but not on their reserve, they wouldn't be able to build the infrastructure that gets the water from the river to the reserve where they live unless they truck it in every day.

in reply to HellsBelle

The reasoning and the article has a link to the judgement if people want the super long legal version of it.

Favel said in both decisions the Canadian government made First Nations dependent by forcing them to relocate to reserves, and that the country has historically "exerted direct control over every facet of First Nations life through legislation, regulations, policies, and practices," including control over financing for water infrastructure and housing.


Also the personal opinion part you'd think Pierre and the Conservatives would applaud this given the stance on "government tyranny".

really hope you mean the old syncthing, not syncthing fork
in reply to redjard

No, the maintainer of syncthing fork deleted their account and the repos out of the blue. There's a lengthy forum post about it here.
in reply to prism

Oh, I didn't notice. fdroid just switched it over I suppose. I even noticed the weird release notes and checked the repo but just accepted I had misremembered the repo name and maintainer name.

There's a fork of the fork. Been using this one for a couple of months.

in reply to youmaynotknow

I strongly advise against using anything from researchxxl. The conditions under which the fork changed hands are unclear, continued development has been poor, and researchxxl's behaviour has been consistently uninspiring and unhelpful. See issue 16 if you don't believe me. In the meantime, I've uninstalled Syncthing-Fork and will wait until nel0x's version is in F-Droid.

in reply to MyMindIsLikeAnOcean

I mean we can obviously see that things are far better in Crimea than anywhere in Ukraine right now. This isn't even debatable. Comparing Russia to the absurd levels of corruption in Ukraine is not a serious argument to make.
in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆

Russia has been extremely corrupt for decades. Whatever weird made up world you are living in, come on back to reality. Even if Ukraine was the most corrupt country ever, bombing the shit out of the citizens is not the way you help. That's just murder. Even if things are somehow better in Crimea, you're comparing to a country being bombed by a larger country with more weapons and fighters. Crimea should not have been stolen in the first place. Help your neighbors, don't hypocritically murder their people.

don't like this

in reply to phar

Russia is clearly nowhere near as corrupt as Ukraine given that Russia is actually able to run a functioning economy and a military. In fact, there's strong evidence to suggest that NATO is far more corrupt than Russia is given that Russia is single handedly outproducing all of the west militarily right now. Meanwhile, before yapping about Crimea, you might want to go read a history book for once in your life.
in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆

I know the history, that doesnt excuse invading them at this point. Neither is what one.corrupt country sees as corrupt in another. Your arguments hold no weight. Nothing you said justifies murdering people in a neighboring country.

I don't know, they sure tried it in the eastern part of the country for 10 years
