So what alarmist hyper-environmentalist news stories are we to believe? Last time I checked, we had environmentalists screaming that fracking thousands of feet down leaks chemicals (sand, light hydrocarbons) through thousands of feet of permeable geological layers. If these layers are so permeable and the alarmists are telling the trough, how come it takes `thousands` of years to recharge the aquifers?
The act of fracking, or fracturing, creates many tiny cracks.
Here's a thought experiment: Stick your head under a bucket of tightly packed soil (mostly clay) in a bottomless bucket and fill it up.
Now try the same thing after you use a spade on the soil in the bucket for a few minutes.
One of the local farmers said "I expect when we run out this next decade, everyone will be very angry over the decisions we made to plant water-intensive crops in a very arid land for so many years".
It's like Global Warming.
It's coming for you whether you believe in it or not.
Pretty sure it doesn't get counted in with the general Internet, since you guys run so slow, and we have 100 GB/sec ports at most major research universities and military installations, and 40 GB/sec ports within 1-2 mile radius of those.
There are specific holes designed into all iPhones and iPads that show up in iOS allowing them to bypass any locking.
They're not "published" per se, but they're there and many suppliers of law enforcement software provide them, which work either over wireless or the data/power connection ports.
What warrants? They're already quartering troops in your pocket and purse.
I mention the iPhone and iPad angle, since more than 60 percent of all adult US citizens use those. You'd think Droids would be more popular, but that's not showing up in the government metrics.
They said that they needed Temporary Foreign Workers and it would lead to full time jobs in Canada too.
And then the media got off their butts and figured out that it was really being used to provide cheap labour in Canadian restaurants instead of hiring local teens.
H1-B is a giant sucking sound of jobs being outsourced to India, and I don't mean native tribal lands here in North America.
A warrant like this is the equivalent to searching all the houses and apartments and cars and storage lockers you've ever had or anyone in your family or that ever met you ever had.
We fought a Revolution over this.
But Americans today are not made of the metal that would stand up against such things.
The TPP can not sell Canadian Citizens Constitutional Right to privacy.
It's not a bill.
It's in the Constitution.
In writing.
No government can sell that right to another country.
PERIOD.
(yes, I did take Canadian Law in grade 10, it was the best thing I ever did, other than Canadian Business Law later on, and, yes, my brother passed the BC bar and got his LLD from UBC)
Actually, that's Congress. The Legislative branch would have to produce appropriate legislation. Once legislation exists, the Executive Branch may issue an Executive Order to execute the legislation.
I think you're thinking of another country.
In America, Congress does nothing except whine and posture.
originally, in the early 80s, 100 percent of all cross-exchange calls were listened to, without warrants. Basically, anything that went beyond a service area.
However, the tech at the time meant that most calls were not recorded, beyond the first few seconds, unless you used a trigger word or were on a list to be recorded.
This did mean no local exchange calls at the time.
Now the five data centers record a lot more than we admit.
The supreme court does NOT agree with you - this is a QUICK path to jail FYI.
Which supreme court?
Washington State has stronger privacy RIGHTS than the rest of America, and even SCOTUS has upheld rulings about privacy by the Washington State Supreme Court.
The Canadian government has a loophole, the notwithstanding clause, to allow them to violate your constitutional rights. Sortof like passing the DM treachery notes during a game, and viewed the same way by the general public.
Not according to the Canadian Supreme Court recent rulings.

Get the picture?

Mostly hardened traffic, but there you go.

It carries a lot more data, but no spam.
As you age, you'll realize why they sell bifocals and how come people who never had glasses buy reading glasses when they get old.

Happened this summer, mostly May and June. Details in Vancouver Sun and Vancouver Province and Georgia Straight, and Globe and Mail.
Comrade Harper had to "suspend" the TFWP because it meant his Conservative Party was not going to be reelected, and was going to lose half it's seats.
That's a sop to allow corporations to bring in H1-B to fill our community colleges.
Probably about half of the students in my math classes in Seattle Central are not American. Or Canadian.
Nothing wrong with that, but it's not helping with retraining when you outsource the jobs overseas.

Sadly.
Repeat after me: Baaaaaaah!
A higher minimum wage means more Americans working.
Corporations don't care about that.

Including those residing in countries with International Data Treaties with Canada.
Yes, that means the USA and the EU.
Privacy. It's what's for Breakfast, Lunch, and Supper.
Would you like some Poutine with that back bacon, American Privacy Ignorers?
And then I realized I never use PSN, but just play games I have discs for on my PS4.
Second Son rocks. It's like Seattle, but more.
What GTA should have done for GTA: Emerald City but they were too chicken to mess with the best!

When state laws are a barrier to interstate commerce and prevent a US manufacturer from retailing in a state, the White House can void them.
Interstate Commerce.

And, yes, I said five.
The NSA and the mil intel agencies all run off the non-published "black" budget, which you're not told about.
And you wonder why we're in debt ... it's not welfare checks, it's the stuff you're not allowed to know about that we do each and every day.
Fun fact: You've had all your calls intercepted since at least the early 1980s, America, in violation of the US Constitution.
I can neither confirm nor deny that I have firsthand knowledge of such data collection.
And what if they only fly over the roadways until they arrive at the address to deliver to?
Lots of stuff flies over roadways. Invisible wires, for example.
The supreme court does NOT agree with you - this is a QUICK path to jail FYI.

Pull!
It's illegal due to privacy rights that Canadians have (in their Constitution) to do this in Canada, according to their Supreme Court.
And, actually, Canucks have twice the guns per capita, so the drones would survive even less time.
They just don't shoot people with handguns or automatic weapons.
I'm gonna pop some drones
only got 20 rounds in my pockets
gonna get some CDs and some jerky
this is (FCC DELETED) awesome!
I wear your granddad's clothes,
They look incredible.
I got them from a drone
That Amazon flew above the road
Dang but I'm going to have fun!
It's my airspace - when you decided to fly over it with a privacy-disabled drone, you made your drone MY property.
The problem is using a forum.
Steven King got rich writing stuff like this, but he did it as an "author".
