C'est son argument et il est tout pété, comme si le privé n'était pas financé par l'Etat. J'en ai parlé dans le billet parce que c'est un argument qui devient très répandu par la droite et l'XD dès qu'il s'agit de contester un évènement organisé par des universités ou grandes écoles publiques, ils brandissent la pancarte populiste "Et c'est fait avec nos impôts" dans la ligne de Nicolas qui paie, c'est ridicule mais ça percute j'en ai peur, il faut qu'on arrive à déminer ce truc

Imperial Oil says it will shutter Norman Wells oil operations this summer


Imperial Oil says it will end more than a century of oil production in Norman Wells later this year.

The closure has been in the works since 2022, but until now, there has been no solid timeline for the shutdown.

In a news release Friday, the company said the move is needed because of declining production at the site.

It said production is slated to end in the third quarter of 2026 "as the facility comes to the end of its lifespan."

Imperial Oil said it's working on a final closure and reclamation plan for the site. Reclamation work is not expected to start until after 2030.




Outgoing consumer advocate sideswipes PCs over their 'nonsense' handling of Churchill Falls MOU


Dennis Browne has been replaced as consumer advocate, but the usually soft-spoken and tactful St. John's lawyer is not going away quietly.

Browne was a guest on CBC Radio's The Signal on Thursday, and was heavily critical of Premier Tony Wakeham and the new PC government's handling of the Churchill Falls MOU, which was announced in late 2024 by a former Liberal government led by Andrew Furey.

Browne said Wakeham and his team have turned the issue into a "political football," are risking a deal between Newfoundland and Labrador and Quebec that has the potential to stabilize the province's finances, and described those appointed to review the MOU, specifically the chair, as "not much of a panel."

He also blasted the government for appointing lawyer Adrienne Ding, who has links to the PC Party, as the interim consumer advocate. Browne said his successor should have been selected by the Independent Appointments Commission, which was established by legislation a decade ago by another former Liberal premier, Dwight Ball.



Former Codiac Regional RCMP officer faces 7 more sex charges involving youths


A former New Brunswick RCMP officer is facing seven more sex-related criminal charges involving youths, an independent police watchdog agency announced Friday.

Former corporal Jeremy Bastarache, 38, from Shediac River, was charged in 2024 with communicating for a sexual purpose with someone he believed was under 16.

He is now accused of two more counts of that offence, making an arrangement with a person, for the purpose of facilitating a sexual offence towards a person. One count involves someone he believed to be under 16 and another he believed was under 18, according to the Serious Incident Response Team.

The other five charges include communicating for obtaining sexual services for consideration from a person under 18 years, procuring a person under 18 for the purpose of facilitating an offence, trafficking a person under 18, as well as making and possessing child pornography.



Proposed tundra swan hunting season on Prairies prompts concern from hunter


The federal government is considering a proposal to establish a new hunting season for tundra swans in the Prairie provinces — a move that one hunter says could endanger trumpeter swans, a similar-looking, sensitive species.

Proposed changes to Canada's migratory bird regulations would create a new tundra swan hunting season in Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

Tundra swans are hunted in a handful of U.S. states, but in Canada they're currently a protected species at the federal level.

David Duncan, a hunter and retired biologist, says such a hunt could lead to people mistakenly shooting trumpeter swans, a sensitive species that can't be hunted anywhere in North America.



Children and police officers among at least 30 killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza | Gaza | The Guardian


Gaza’s health ministry has recorded more than 500 Palestinians deaths by Israeli fire since the start of the ceasefire on 10 October.

Despite Israel’s frequent killing of Palestinians in violation of the ceasefire, the deal has moved to a crucial second phase. Some of the thorniest issues are contained in this phase, which requires Hamas to disarm and hand over power to a Board of Peace organisation staffed by appointees of the US president, Donald Trump.

A recent presentation in Davos by Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who is also involved in Trump’s Gaza project, showed the Trump administration’s plan for “developing Gaza”, complete with futuristic skyscrapers overlooking the Mediterranean.

Most of Gaza has been levelled and basic infrastructure remains inoperable as a result of Israeli bombing over the past two years, which has killed more than 70,000 Palestinians. Last year, a UN commission of inquiry found that Israel had committed a genocide in Gaza.

Why is this in the canada sub... Its bad enough getting all the "Trump says..." posts.
in reply to Levi

We should make a community that is just TrumpSays
in reply to Levi

It's relevant because Canada is giving Israel weapons to do this, so some of those deaths are caused by our government.
in reply to snoons

While I agree with that, I think it would be better if you shared this as a text post with your own title and discussion + the link / context in the body of the post. That way the post is still specific to the community, and both users and mods can quickly see that it is indeed relevant to the community :)

Apex Legends To Drop Nintendo Switch 1 Support in August


in reply to Nemeski

they dropped linux recently. it seems they really don't want to support anything but the most popular platforms.

That wasn't really recent. I think it's been well over a year

Their focus is purely on getting whales to buy more and nothing else.

You can call 811 in Canada for health questions. Use a walk-in clinic, or make a doctors appointment with a family doctor. Or an emergencies, go to the ER.

Lynx vs Links vs Elinks vs w3m - what are differences between them?


Right now I'm trying to use my terminal for everything so I was thinking to maybe give a shot for one of the terminal http browsers.
There's so many of them and I don't know what are the differences between them. I would like to have gemini and gopher support at the same time as I'm using them also so. If you know which one have features like that please share with this information also.

Please give answers related to question or share your experience with browsing internet in terminal. I don't want to see comments saying that there's no point in it because modern web is as it is. Let me have fun 😄

I've been using Links for years. I rarely meet another Links user, as TUI web browser use is rare in and of itself, and most go to w3m or lynx from what I've seen.

TUI browsers are surprisingly capable of getting you around the web even with more limited features, as long as you mainly are focused on accessing public text documents and communications.

I know one of the main uses I saw some utilizing Links for was when it was recommended during the Gentoo installation process when you had to download a stage 3 tarball. Most just had another browser or used a different Linux iso during installation, but if you were installing via the tty, and had no other device with a web browser on it, that was (and still is) a solid choice for finding and downloading the needed tarball.

Anyways, just a bit of lore. My only complaint with Links is it doesn't let you change the keybindings and they default to emacs. No shade to emacs, but I am and probably always will be a vim user, so there's that. Other than that I'll always be a big fan of Links.

I spent about 6 months several years ago without a WM. I used links -g and gpm to browse graphically (and with a mouse) using the framebuffer. At the time, lynx couldn't do that.

Which distro is closest to 'GUI/UX for everything, absolutely no CLI' approach like Windows or Mac + and just works (ie passes LTT Linux test)


I'm looking for a distro to contribute to finally make 'year of Linux desktop, to happen. For me, I see that as full UI/UX behaviour that behaves almost identical to Windows/Mac (eg no middle click to paste).

Which distro comes closest to it?

I installed Ubuntu on my father in law laptop years ago and it is still kicking. ( he's 85 this year) He does whatever he was doing before. My smallest which is 12 has zorin installed in her first peesonal pc and never asked any help. I think that the response greatly vary by the use of the computer you have.
in reply to pathos

I mean pretty much any distro can achieve that even Arch based ones. For example with CachyOS you could essentially run it with say KDE and never need to open a terminal at all. Cachy includes Octopi as its GUI package manager and it works well. KDE can also potentially handle the updating for you.

you could also run say something like Bazzite or Nobara which is essentially the same. Nobara does have it's own updater but i'll be honest it's kinda wonky sometimes and generally only starts off with access to its own repos.

Essentially at the end of the day the Distro doesn't really matter in most cases. As long as it can utilize a GUI package manager or some sort of "app store" and allows easy installation of something like KDE then you're good to go. The exceptions to this I would say would be like Gentoo or NixOS but as someone who uses NixOS...technically...it could potentially fit the bill. But that would require a bit of work to get it to that point.

Actually now that I think about it getting something like working on NixOS would be an interesting side hobby project to work on.



back to distrohopping. I want a reliable OS (no rando ubuntu fork with no clear release/support schedule) with something else than Plasma or Gnome.


Until now I've had fedora, opensuse and arch. I don't really like arch nowadays, so I was thinking more of a fedora cinnamon or LXQT. Opensuse is okay I guess. Any suggestions?

Have you tried COSMIC yet? Maybe PopOS is worth a shot.

Some packages are a bit old at the moment but they have a release coming in April / May that will bring them right up to date.

Perhaps LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) is worth a look as well.

Both options are similar in that they take a very stable distro base and layer on a quite up-to-date desktop.

They also feature clear direction and a predicable release schedule.

Arlene Dickinson and Amber Mac cut ties with Canadian social media startup Gander Social


in reply to Otter Raft

Ms. MacArthur added: “Over the past few weeks it’s been pretty clear I wasn’t necessarily advising on anything because there was no product to look at. From my perspective, they have not been actively in touch with advisers along the way. That begs the question why you need advisers if you’re not getting them to advise.”

Without seeing the product, “it’s really hard to tell people they should continue to support and invest in this,” Ms. MacArthur said.


Why in the hell would you think you had a right to see anything when you had failed to provide even 1 cent of funding????

Jfc. Rich people truly believe they should get everything for nothing.

in reply to HellsBelle

I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t provide funding without seeing a business plan and a prototype.

In this case though, Fedican already provides a Canadian alternative, and all the structure is volunteered.
