Is anyone aware whether or not the pope at the time was aware of the atrocities the priests were committing at residential schools?? It’s nowhere online and I’m trying to convince someone that it’s wrong that the pope isn’t apologizing 😩😩

He knew. He admitted they knew:

“The Holy Father is aware of the findings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which he takes seriously,” stated the letter. “As far as Call to Action #58 is concerned, after carefully considering the request and extensive dialogue with the Bishops of Canada, he felt that he could not personally respond.”

Do you know if the FCC’s net neutrality vote will affect Canadians? I’m trying to read up on it but I don’t fully understand 😭

Yes, it will. Because the majority of the world’s most used and popular websites are hosted on American servers (Facebook, Google, Netflix, Twitter, Tumblr, etc) they will be subject to American laws on Net Neutrality.

Some large companies may have Canadians servers and in that case there shouldn’t be a slowdown on this end, but for many smaller websites/companies I’m sure it could have a negative effect. Cost pressures in the USA could be shifted to Canadian providers as well.

This is from a reddit discussion board on the topic (up voted almost 200 times):

Whatever happens in the states regards to Net Neutrality is going to also affect us here in Canada. The internet isn’t easily divided up into regions, it’s essentially one massive entity and as such it’s inevitable that some of our traffic is going to come through the states. On top of, many of the services we use on the net are US based, Reddit for example. If the states allows their telecos to prioritize and price different traffic that inevitably going to spill out into additional costs for our services and telecos who buy bandwidth from the US backbone. The cost and consequence of which will be passed on to us.

PSA voting registration costs $20 after midnight tomorrow (for BC at least idk about other provinces) :)))

I wasn’t aware that it cost anything to register to vote after April 11th.

Do you have a source on that? The BC elections page on registering to vote doesn’t say anything about there being a cost.
