I have written the government of Saskatchewan about this, the NDP have at least pretended to take this seriously. I have no idea if they have or not but they said they were looking into options.

I’m doing my part.

As soon as Trump uttered 51st state, I changed my domain and I changed the host. With this new host I also get my own email addresses. I could change all of my Apple hidemy emails to a .ca domain, I will admit that sure it is a pseudo random email address at my personal domain and the ad market can still track me but I will make it as hard as I can.

Then I use a pihole system to block ads, sure I was doing this before the 51st state stuff but it is more important now as most of the ad market is owned by Google. Wish there was an alternative to youtube though. I am wanting to setup a pi as an alternative to my AppleTV and block youtube ads.

I have cancelled all of my streaming subscriptions and started a gem account. Sure I can watch all of the shows ad free but the occasional time I want to watch the news it is worth the $5 or $6. I am a huge Star Wars fan so it hurt not having a Disney+ subscription for Andor, but I got back into sailing the high C’s. I had worked on a bash script to download the show after each episode, by the end of the series I had it polished and working but figured that was not going to work for all future shows so I broke and just installed the arr apps to use along with jacket to track my shows and movies and download them once they are released.
