Has China ever threatened Canada or its sovereignty?

Yes, Canada’s security and intelligence agencies have concluded that China has threatened Canada and its sovereignty through various activities, including foreign election interference and transnational repression.

Key instances and forms of these threats include:

Election Interference: A Canadian public inquiry found that China interfered in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections through disinformation campaigns, undisclosed donations to preferred candidates, and other tactics, with the goal of influencing the political landscape.

Transnational Repression: The Chinese government has targeted critics, dissidents, and the broader Chinese community in Canada with surveillance, threats, and smear campaigns, often using individuals’ families in China as leverage.

Intimidation of Politicians: Canadian politicians, notably Conservative MP Michael Chong, were targeted by Chinese interference campaigns and subject to intimidation for their criticism of the Chinese government’s human rights record.

Arbitrary Detention: The detention of Canadian citizens Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor (known as “the two Michaels”) in China following Canada’s arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou was widely seen as a use of arbitrary detention for political leverage to pressure Canada. Arctic Ambitions: The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and NATO officials have warned that China’s interest and activities in the Canadian Arctic pose a direct threat to the nation’s sovereignty in the region.

Cyber Threats: The Communications Security Establishment (CSE) has identified state-sponsored Chinese cyber programs as the greatest strategic cyber threat to Canada, targeting critical infrastructure and intellectual property in key sectors like artificial intelligence and biopharma.

Canadian officials have consistently stated that such activities constitute a threat to national security and sovereignty and “will not be tolerated”.

I understand your frustration, but that’s like getting out of bed with Satan and getting into bed with Satan’s twin brother.

It isn’t going to work out better for you.

Glad you saved yourself all those characters shortening it to S’pore

100% agree! I try to keep the 20/80 rule for all of my devices. Lately, however, my 8 pro has felt extra bad with battery, so I’m hoping disabling this battery health assistance feature will help.

I’ve almost factory reset my phone a couple of times too, hopefully this is the missing link.

I bet it’s not on grapheneOS. I saw a couple posts surrounding GOS where people were complaining about the feature, so I’m wondering if they removed it in favor of allowing you to set a charging limit like we had before this feature was added.

Unfortunately the only pixel I have GOS on is my pixel 6 pro, so I can’t be of more assistance.

I had to search for it using the search function, it wasn’t in the same place as the other screenshot that was posted

Well, he’s a bitch, so yeah if his boss tells him so he’s too little of a man to stick up to him.

Here’s a dad’s reply in a similar place - Win 11 is fine. I put it off for a very long time and just upgraded a couple weeks ago. It hasn’t really been an impact.

Is Linux better? Yes. Does win 11 just work without too much fuss? Yes.

I still have Linux on many machines in my house except for my gaming rig, just because I don’t want to have to break it and spend time refreshing it because my Linux skills aren’t up to par. I have a full time job and young kids and don’t have as much tinkering time as I used to.

That being said, I’m migrating ALL machines that aren’t compatible with win 11 to Linux to avoid tossing them in a landfill like many will do, like my son’s gaming PC.

I used citymapper on my trip through four countries in Europe a couple months ago and it was amazing for the transit systems and navigating me around. Especially useful in Paris and London’s subway and bus lines. I really liked the reminder notification it would send me when my stop was approaching, because I would get the notification on my Garmin watch.

Other than that, openvpn client back to my home router in the US when I was on public Wi-Fi.

Google translate for real time image translation and quick reference to ensure I remembered the right word in French or German properly.

Trump consistently plays the game “heads I win, tails you lose”

So, no shit Sherlock…

I really need to go through my old electronics drawers and pull out any old batteries. I’m battling statistics right now, and statistics always wins.
