Why are you mentioning Linux? I did not. Keeping this all with the context of using Windows, both Epic and GOG stores provide API access which proves they only want to compete but Steam demands tyrannical control and tell gamers want they are allowed to do while Steam maintains the right to erase a user's game library without a refund.

Steam does and has deleted ganes from people's library without giving refunds. People have developed a blind allegience to Steam either through ignorance or lower cognitive function, but Steam is between aburden and a plaque on PC gaming.

Did you read the court documents in the video? The simple fact that Epic allows API proves that they not tracking and datamining people's information.

I have never bought a game on Steam. I will never buy game on Steam. It was a court ruling that made Steam change their user agreement, not Steam trying to be nice.

It always makes for a strong economy when the citizens have all of the money and the government is broke.

Rustad announced they will start with a $1500/month tax rebate for rent and mortgage, increasing each year by $500/mnth to eventually max out to $3000 per month month tax rebate on rent and mortgage.

What kind of a tax refund is NDP promising on rent and mortgage so people with jobs keep more of their own money?

What are people's recommendation for their favourite FPS single player campaigns that you still enjoy playing a couple of levels once in awhile? No multiplayer suggestions.

My all time one is Medal Of Honor 2010 reboot. I don't play through it every time but I have a couple of favourite levels.

Last month the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation took its “Debt Clock” on a tour of British Columbia to draw attention to the province’s mounting debt. The debt is currently $112 billion and rising by $53 million per week – faster than any other provincial government’s. That’s $20,000 for every British Columbian. The NDP-run province’s credit rating is “plummeting,” according to outside experts, driving up the interest rate it pays on new debt. It is spending $4 billion a year on interest and will soon pay more.

The NDP’s uncontrolled spending is a big part of the problem. In 2002, Campbell’s Liberal government forecast operational spending of $25.6 billion. Horgan’s first budget forecast spending of $53.6 billion. Eby’s government forecasts spending of $92.7 billion in 2026-2027, a 73 percent increase in only a decade. The NDP will have nearly tripled B.C.’s debt in only a decade – from $45.2 billion in Horgan’s first budget to a projected $126.5 billion in 2026-2027. Including Crown corporations, total provincial debt will have more than doubled from $69.4 billion to $165 billion.

Lots of people quit with it 2 years ago, some people ignored all restrictions from fhe beginning. There is some concern that this announcement is political theatre because everyone in public health employment still must disclose their status for getting injections.

Binnie make this announcement that it's ending, it's over, and the thousands if hospital staff that never got one injection can apply to be doctors and nurses again, but must disclose status, what changes then? If it's really ending, then they can all be imediately re-hired without asking any health queations.

Since the bulk of you in this group are ideologues, how do you discern between respectful disagreement with someone and if someone is pushing conformity to only one acceptable viewpoint and belief?

Why does it seem that people actively avoid expressing disaagreements on what somone says when they are out somewhere having a conversation? Why arwe people more concerned about trying to sound nice rather than being honest? It's not provactive or antagonizing to simply say "I can't agree with you on that, I disagree." I suspect that if someone articulates the reasoning behind their disagreement, a lot of people would not be bothered by it, unless someone wants everybody to believe the same things and are easily disturbed by contrary points of views.
