Most people aren't taking the time to type in ctrl+shift+u+2+0+1+4 when a regular minus-dash would get the point across with a single keystroke. But there is enough of a distinction that some people (like you and I) will use the proper punctuation when there is an opportunity to do so.
What I find far more suspicious is the unicode hyphen, because no human would be able to tell the difference, and would therefore always choose to input a minus.
The amount of corruption uncovered by this investigation up to now is bad enough, but it really seems like we're looking at the tip of an iceburg.
My intuition says it's probably LLM training. AI companies have been increasingly DDoSing the entire web for a while now.
We might even survive long enough to see Ekholm come back

Uhh, what timezone are we talking about here?
From the library of Jurgen Leitner, no doubt.
"Just let me pander to these fringe extremists so they stop wanting to leave my party"
Better idea. Don't do that. Tell the fringe extremists to kick bricks, set the UCP on fire, and let the rest of us have 4 years of actual prosperity under the NDP.
Imagine basing your appeal on the equivalent of a courtroom seance. This is the world we live in.
It would be exceedingly rare for one party to get enough votes to form a majority under PR.
But beyond that, we have the non-partisan senate, the governor general, and the Charter (via the judicial branch) to all act as obstacles to unjust legislation. Canada is no stranger to majority governments under our current system, and the checks 'n balances have worked pretty well so far, for the most part.
Barring a trump-style lunatic jacking up the executive branch (which can absolutely happen, that's something us citizens have to be careful not to vote for), PR should make it slightly harder for tyranny of the majority to happen. Take a look at New Zealand in 1996 for a relatively recent example of PR adoption and how their voting patterns have changed after the switch.
Odds are pretty damn good, I'd say.
Still, it's a distinction barely worth making. Garden varity pigs doing this shit are equally as unjust as brand name Pigs doing it.
I'm interested to know how that works. Can amazon not treat the addressee as the "importer" like Canada Post can?
Fair, but then again, iOS autocorrect isn't exactly not AI.
