Hopefully it stays up. Until they adapt their algorithms.
You can save any content on the archive websites if you want. There's both search and save url featuers in them. Just save the url in the archive.org and/or archive.fo and/or archive.ph, and the others with different country codes. Diversifying sources so if one gets blocked another can be linked. Like I said, this denies views to the platforms of content origin, so harming monetization is a downside. But if it's content that has more value in the public domain than a price can be put on then it's a good trade-off.
I feel like Canada is the testing ground for many of the WEF hare-brained schemes because Klaus feels he has "penetrated the cabinet". But increasingly they are blowing up in Trudeau's face. Mandate truckers get vaxxed - they descend on Ottawa creating an International incident. Invoke Emergency Act to deal with the protest (instead of actually talking to them) - look weak and afraid and like they have lost control. Freeze bank accounts of people contributing to their cause - incite a bank run that freaks out the bankers.
This too has blown up in his face. He expects traditional media and social media to jump through hoops to meet his dictator fantasy? What has he been smoking? And now going around trying to shame them about not following his madness?
As has been said by others, I don't look for news on twitter or facebook. And if I have a message to send out, I don't need a middleman to censor it. And if there is something I can't see because I've been tainted by having a petulant child as a leader, I can always change my VPN to look like I am coming from somewhere a little saner.
As I have said many times, Trudeau is a little boy who wants desperately to be welcomed into the boy's club of international criminals. He acts recklessly and stupidly, as a little boy would, and often things blow up in his face. But he is still there, isn't he? He hasn't screwed up bad enough that the sheep notice...neither has Biden, but Biden in the opposite. He is an old senile man that just does what he is told simply because he can't decisions on his own. He doesn't even know that the boy's club IS, let alone have ambition to be in it.
I don't live in Canadistan but I got off facebook a year ago because they are part of the problem.
I only used it to interact with my offspring who are far away but decided it wasn't worth it. I told my kids this stuff isn't private, and I don't want to get you in trouble because I share "controversial" stuff with you.
My oldest has been doing a doctorate in Vancouver BC, and I was glad he left Canada this summer. Things keep getting worse and more China-like repressive. I feel bad for you in the north and suggest you can always go south. Hopefully it won't get as bad here as Americans have more push back in them (plus the second amendment).
The sheep in our lives are a real consternation because their indifference emboldens the abusers. We have to keep chipping away at their armor of willful ignorance and at their comfortable habits of pride and fear.
If I was an entirely free agent (which I do not want to be, I love my wife too much). I would be out of here. Not sure where, maybe temporarily near my sisters in WVA...or maybe Florida, or even Mexico (and if it really got bad, I might move to Egypt!)
It's not discoverable yet on the other archive sites like archive.ph or archive.fo. Sometimes they have archive versions that archive.org doesn't and vice-versa.
I'll be curious if the big media censor algorithms stop archive site links yet, maybe you try to link that way and tell us what you find out? No doubt they'll find gaps we pass info through and eventually seal them. And by going through archive sites the actual live sites lose visits and rankings, ad revenues when we bypass them to read info. But if info is important enough to freely share then that may be the work-around. Sucks for the alt news sites like Off-Guardian, though.
Truth is I've used the archive sites as my work-around for big media paywalls for a long time. We'll see if/when they close that loophole. They're already trying to by suing archive sites for copyright infringement on other types of media they share.
You address a question that I posed in my mind immediately as I read Todd's article. Will "Bill C-18" affect sites like this one, or only "big names" like Google and FB?
I'm afraid that any alt news service is their true target, but maybe not the really little guys like substacks. I do know they already block Off-Guardian links. They are alt news. However, that said, it would not surprise me at all if they started to go after Substacks...but many of them are not monetized, so their "bogus reasoning" would not really apply.
What BS about the "justification" for that legislation! So NYT and WaPo need "protection" from the government, so that people do not read what they publish without their blessing... As you say, if they do not want something to reach everyone free, they have paywalls.
A couple other observations... I just realized that Canada also has a "federal government" (not only the USA).
I remember Cheech and Chong. I can imagine your dog poop example could also be from Dumb and Dumber.
Yes, Dumb and Dumber is a good contemporary source!!
The US is a republic, which I think has pretty profound implications, although no one has been able to sufficiently explain it to me.
Canada is much weirder...here is what they call themselves...
"Canada is a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy, founded on the rule of law and respect for rights and freedoms. The government acts in the name of the Crown but derives its authority from the Canadian people. Canada's parliamentary system stems from the British, or “Westminster”, tradition."
That certainly does not seem to be the way they conduct themselves.
Thanks for the article. I nearly fell for the almost rational lie about the money angle. Clearly my bullshit detector is not quite as bulletproof as I thought. Truthers need each other!
Its funny how if you hear anything about this law it is ALWAYS presented as a way to stop misinformation, NOT as copyright infringement prevention....and this is hearing from official sources!! I was actually surprised when I actually read the bill itself. It says nothing at all about misinformation, and everything about the injustices, financially, that the news sources are experiencing.
I read this article recently explaining how Canadians in government have become loyal to the UK rather than to their own independent country (and were fed anti-US sentiments) through the schooling that many have received in the UK.
That's quite interesting. Canada has been sucking on the teat of Queen Elizabeth, ergo the UK, since she was coronated in 1953...and before that bowing down to whoever might be sitting on that throne. Anyone who says Canada is not run by the English Monarchy (now King Charles of course) is either blind or in denial.
These are part of the EU crowd and the WEF, who believe in one world government through the UN and the WHO. Plans go back over 100 years with technocratic fever dreams of scientism being the means of controlling society. Philosophically these ideas ally with Darwinism/eugenics, Marx, Fabians, Counsil of foreign relations, the BIS and others. Very antihumanist. There are many like-minded in the American government as well, but it's not as thoroughly converted.
Canada is an odd duck, and I believe the primary reason it is as you say (which I agree) is because of one man, Justin Trudeau. He is so hell bent on pleasing his masters that he has continuously fallen all over himself in his "youthful" exuberance. He really is the archetypal "boy" trying so hard to please an absent father (Satan?) that he can't do his dictator thing fast enough.
If the rumors he is really the son of Fidel Castro are true, maybe then there is something to a genetic propensity for totalitarianism. I suspect that if it IS true, he would be aware of it, and maybe very proud of his legacy and wants desperately to follow in the "true" father's footsteps (although the man whose name he bears wasn't much better.)
Trudeau is a horrible human being for sure, but our fellow Canadians voted for him again in 2021 when he was running on mandates and calling us a "fringe minority with unacceptable views" (I'm wearing my Proud Member of the Fringe Minority With Unacceptable Views t-shirt today as a matter of fact). Yes, Turdeau is a divisive fascist but we can't let our fellow citizens off the hook. If masks or mandates make a return appearance it'll be interesting to see how Canadians react. I'd like to say I'm hopeful that a repeat of 2020/2021 could never happen again but I'm not.
Believe it or not they are very serious to some. The facts of the matter do line up, but of course the official word is that it is all bogus and they challenge many of the "facts"...even if just funny, it IS that! Have you seen the picture comparisons? Uncanny...
Of course I don't really believe that being a dictator is not really genetic.
Oh, the pictures are unbelievable. You put a beard on JT and he looks identical to Fidel. But up until now, I thought everything was just a joke. It looks like there is a "conspiracy theory" element to it. (!!) (And we have talked about how many of those are true...).
I have no doubts that Satan is here and his minions are hell bent to please it. And I am not Christian. I can see it everywhere. their actions makes me very angry.
But looking on the bride side, Canada will be one of the first once to rebel against it.
I mentioned the other day two friends/former colleagues (we're all retired now) from the huge medical publishing outfit we worked for (we worked on books, not journals, so didn't come across anything dodgy!). When I mentioned Stephanie Seneff's article (with Peter McCullough and another author) on Immune Suppression following mRNA Vaccination', the first question, from the angrier of the two, was 'Which journal was it in? Was it a reputable one?'. Totally missing the point, obvious to shrews, that in 1984-world, it's the 'reputable journals' (Nature, NEJM, Lancet et al) that are doing the worst of the censoring, as they are the ones primarily targeted by the big censorship guns, which is why the truthtellers are more likely to get their article published in one of the second-tier journals. which are less likely to be captured - for now.
I get this all of the time from my sheep friends, "well NPR said this or that" and "The Washington Post said nothing about that"...I think it is easier to convince a sheep that the POTUS might be corrupt since that is something in the collective (corrupt politicians) than it is to get them to believe a major news source is corrupt—and NPR???? No way. Same for journals I would suspect.
Well, I've got news for them. Trump was right when he said "fake news" and I remember being so angry with him when he said that, "how dare him!!!" The Free Press is a stalwart foundation of the US as a free nation...not anymore.
I wonder if we railed against all the included “controls” at their time of issuance. Did we state we would not be forced to wear seatbelts, to drive our cars, with the same vehemence with which we refuse to don the face diapers to shop for groceries? Do our new demands for freedom and our accusations of tyranny stem from the over abuse of “the state” and a buildup of frustration at the ever-increasing controls being forced on us? Has “the state” simply decided the gentle, persuasive marketing is no longer necessary? We’re successfully brainwashed after decades of propaganda? If you take time to read the article it’s clear we “freedom defenders” have been major hypocrites for some time now. I’m ashamed to think of all the control mechanisms I have willingly, or without much thought, rationalized to accept and acquiesce to in my daily life. How is this explained from the professional psychologist’s perspective? Is it too late? Are we doomed? Has “the state” won?
Ha! I just remembered that, as a child, I was fearful of damaging or removing the tag on the mattress cover as I read its removal was punishable by law!🤣

Take a screen shot, I’ve done that and so far it has worked
work?
Just posted it. I can see it, so it didn't block my own post. We will soon see if other FB folks can see and use the link.
To think we'd have to do this in the United States of America.

I’ve come to realize that we Canadians elect dictators, too much power in the PMO
Thank you. Never knew that Canada defined themselves that way.
Thanks for the article. I nearly fell for the almost rational lie about the money angle. Clearly my bullshit detector is not quite as bulletproof as I thought. Truthers need each other!

I have seen memes depicting Trudeau as the son of Fidel. Are those really "serious" rumors?

I've got an article coming out on the 1st titled, "Reinventing Satan"...you'll like it.
I mentioned the other day two friends/former colleagues (we're all retired now) from the huge medical publishing outfit we worked for (we worked on books, not journals, so didn't come across anything dodgy!). When I mentioned Stephanie Seneff's article (with Peter McCullough and another author) on Immune Suppression following mRNA Vaccination', the first question, from the angrier of the two, was 'Which journal was it in?

I lost my confidence in "reputable" journals (JAMA, Lancet, NEJM...) a long time ago.
I get this all of the time from my sheep friends, "well NPR said this or that" and "The Washington Post said nothing about that"...I think it is easier to convince a sheep that the POTUS might be corrupt since that is something in the collective (corrupt politicians) than it is to get them to believe a major news source is corrupt—and NPR????

Well, as we face the daily threat of even more control from “the state” of unelected bureaucrats, I’m humbled by the blatant fact of our voluntary commitment to that control that we’ve, over the years, given into, as outlined in this article: https://open.substack.com/pub/mickeyz/p/does-not-wearing-a-covid-mask-make?r=cjn0k&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
I wonder if we railed against all the included “controls” at their time of issuance.

Very good stuff...yes, I don't write in this style, so it is always good to read stuff that has different foci and points.
Thank you so much!! Cut and paste to social media!
