It's doesn't matter where it's made. As long as it's designed in Canada, there will be jobs for mechanical engineers. Of course there are also some of them working as production engineers, but the actual product employs very few engineers compared to the design.
In my University, it didn't even count if you didn't get paid. They wanted to avoid companies to "hire" engineering students because they are free, and make them prepare coffee for the salaried all day. If you are paying them, however, chances are you will only hire them if you need their skills.
Limitless data does not mean limitless data to the detriment of other people.
It's to the detriment of others because they do not upgrade their infrastructure enough. It's their problem if they do not upgrade enough to get the bandwidth required to serve their unlimited customers.
They should use the capitalist approach to the problem. Move the servers offshore, and transfer the ownership of the content to a non-US based corporation, so that the law no longer applies to them.
On the contrary, it's pretty clear that electric cars are better from a global warming perspective, except in places relying heavily on coal and oil to produce electricity.
Burning fossil fuels in power plant is a lot more efficient than in individual combustion engines. Also, power plants can be outside cities. Global warming is a problem but local air pollution in big cities is another.
Second, it's simply untrue to say the before Uber there were lots of can companies offering sufficient services. I have tried in many instances to obtain a ride in the past from them and have been turned down. Some of them are very rude and gruff. Some suburbs have only two functional services and you have to pay a significant surcharge to get a cab from somewhere else along with a significant delay. Sometimes they don't even answer their own phone
All that is much, much worse with Uber. They have a territory and won't pick you up if you are not in the territory, no matter how much you are willing to pay. In many cities the territory is not very large. My experience with regular taxi companies is that while you may have to wait, you will always end up having a driver. With Uber, even if there are drivers available in my city, they might not be close enough to me so I just can't order service, again no matter how much I am willing to pay.
Canada is not perfect but it's more democratic than the US by just about any measure, and this is despite the fact that their head of sate is an unelected foreigner.
First we can name and shame all those who voted that law, and to a lesser extent those who voted for these MPs. And I am talking about every conservative or liberal MP.
All of them. They are all bad. But being software locked in only is a lot better than being both hardware and software locked in. That's why I can't think of a worst solution than Apple products for schools.
Nothing wrong with homogeneous devices. As long as you are not vendor locked-in. You can buy a single model of chromebooks and use the google web apps. The year after you can switch to another chromebook manufacturer. Eventually you may even switch to Windows and use the same web apps.
When you choose the iPad you are vendor locked-in at every possible level.
It can be done but there is a cost. When you start with a platform which has multiple vendors (such as chromebooks or windows PCs) you can seamlessly switch to another vendor if you don't like the old one.

SMS is disqualified because it is based on phone numbers and doesn't work on PCs without a cellular connection.

Nobody forces them to offer unlimited plans if they are not able to deliver.
Maybe you should buy service from T-Mobile in the US and then head home...
You must use a majority of your data in the US (over a few months) to use that plan otherwise they may ban you.

One major difference could be that Hangouts is still free?
the distinction between code and data can be blurry
I also forgot the obvious part:
-Layoff workers in the US and vote bonus to executives for having such a great idea.

Also ICE idling in the traffic is 0% efficient.
I live outside the city too. It makes a lot more sense to build power plants in rural areas. Land is cheaper, local pollution is less a problem.
Is your car powered by natural gas? No? Then why are you comparing it to natural gas power plant? Oil power plants are much dirtier.
But there's a lot of pollution that harms the environment and DOESN'T contribute to global warming.
A gas car doesn't only emit CO2. The NOx are a major issue for urban air quality.
Burning fossil fuels in power plant is a lot more efficient than in individual combustion engines. Also, power plants can be outside cities. Global warming is a problem but local air pollution in big cities is another.

. Without an aggressive company the monopoly of taxis in so many cities would never have been broken.
what monopoly? In most cities there are at least 4-5 taxi companies.
If Uber wins, however, then you will see what it is to have a monopoly.

A school would be stupid to buy $1000 Macbook for 3rd graders. They are getting iPads instead, which cost about the same as a Chromebook.
