Man has some golden quotes, but this takes the cake, with respect to him denying responsibility over the MOU the convoy released.

“I humbly, humbly apologize if Canadians felt that that was the premise of it,” Bauder added. “I apologize to Canadians over and over and over. I’m sorry if there were a few words that got construed and slurred around and misrepresented with disinformation and misinformation from the fake media.”

My man doesn't seem to realize that the MOU was publicly available and still is.

For those of you who haven't read it, basically it drastically misunderstands how the government works (no surprise there), including demands that the Senate create a council comprised of people the senate chooses, and people Canada Unity (convoy) chooses which then leads the country for decisions. That is so NOT how the Senate works, and this is the part that people say is an overthrow - there is no mention of the elected officials we chose, nor is there a mention of Trudeau or the Prime Minister.

Our system basically has two houses - the Senate, who are unelected and long term serving to mediate fluctuations in power and generally propose changes or modifications to bills passed by the Commons, where our elected officials are. Proposed bills (or directions) need to pass both houses to become law. This is easily discoverable by a google search "Canadian government".

"Canada Unity (CU) offers this “Memorandum” to the Senate of Canada and the Governor General of Canada, the highest authorities representing the Federal Government (SCGGC) as “The Government of Canada”."

He can claim its a misunderstanding, but dude, if you're getting over $10m in donations, you can afford to hire a lawyer that understands how our government is set up. Combined with the fact that the other co-signers from Canada Unity are all pro-separatist/Wexit members, I have a hard time believing it was an 'accident'.

Eh... I am going to be on the Doubt column on this one until someone gets more information and other cases.

From my understanding of the way Switch carts are made there is no difference at all between a cart used on a console and the same cart resold for a different console. Nothing is stored to tie carts to hardware or accounts. Carts are meant to work with the multiple accounts on the Switch and with multiple Switch consoles at once, given that Nintendo very much expects to upsell you on a Mini/OLED/Switch 2 whatever.

This guy either a) did something else to trigger the ban, b) bought a bootleg cart somehow, although that doesn't seem like it'd be particularly profitable to sell on Switch, or c) hit a seriously weird bug.

Or, I guess d) is lying about it?

Nintendo is definitely not looking to ban used Switch 1 carts. They literally have no way to do so. There is no tool in the toolset to distinguish a cart someone else bought at the store from your own carts you bought at the store and then moved from a Switch 1 to a Switch 2.

At the absolute most I could entertain that the used cart had been used to make a backup and then the backup got flagged in a different jailbroken console or something, but I don't even know that Nintendo would be able to tell or that it would trip up their banhammer.

That doesn't mean I'm on board with their remote bricking policy, and if this turns out to be a bug or weird edge case it's just another thing to show that their overreach is not gonna play the way they thought it would.

But it is almost definitely not an attempt to ban users for buying used games.

These are policies such as the No More Pipelines law, the net-zero power regulations, the cap on oil and gas emissions, “causing so much harm to our economy and fanning separatist intent.”

So she's that kind of person, I see.

Ha!

If that's what record setting oil production and a massively over budget pipeline on the federal dime feels like... Smith is a pansy knocked over by a gentle pat.

"Punched in the face", sure 🤣
