They've designed their platform so that you can outsource different aspects to different servers. So you can choose a moderator who curates your experience and that's a different person from who hosts your data, which may be different to who sorts and determines the 'top posts'.

I'm not sure that math works? They earned $460M in profit for Q1, so that's about $1.84B in profit over a year. Divide that by 39 million people in Canada and you have $47 per person, which is nowhere near $300 per person plus $1B.

Still obscene profit margins, but let's do the math correctly.

Looks like Microsoft needs to further enhance the consumer experience by adding more personalized product recommendations, that'll fix it right up!

I mean the sale agreement could require the buyer to never expand outside the US.

I'm referring to the the Charter of Rights and Freedoms from 1982. But yes there is still a lot of unwritten rules too like the UK.

The UK system has the concept that Parliament is the ultimate authority of matters. So courts there interpret laws but are unable to reject them.

Canada on the other hand has a constitution which lists different rights that people have, and Parliament has no authority to take away some of these rights. There is some controversial leeway with some of the rights where Parliament, using the 'Notwithstanding clause', is allowed to temporarily ignore some sections of the Constitution, but they have to keep renewing that every several years or else it expires, and it can't be applied to some rights like voting rights.

Regarding this specific law I'm unsure of whether there's anything in our constitution that would prevent deporting irregular migrants to a third country.

My sister (parents' cat) is great at communicating. She'll get your attention and then lead you to whatever she wants. The door to go outside, the food drawer for treats, the bathtub for running water, and to her toys if she wants to play.

Sometimes she likes to steal my dad's office chair; for that she'll lead him out of the room as if she wanted something else and then run back in to claim the now-vacant chair. Or she just jumps up and wedges him off :D

Please be specific about this being the UK's democracy and not democracy in general. In Canada for example courts are stronger and it would be much more difficult (albeit not impossible) for our Parliament to do something like this.

Rape then? Lots of animals rape and humans do so too. It's 'natural' but barbaric.
