How safe is your computer from big brother.

Computor privaticy, how much information do you think or willing to let the government know about you and what, see, do on your computor. Let you into a little secret. You let them know everything from the sites you visit to the accounts you keep, even those naught sites.

 

How are they doing it.  I was watching youtube about a man who exposed micro soft selling information to the USA government in the name of war on terror. Attach is the video.

 

How they are doing it is through the privicy options on your computor. I will incude how to switch it off, in another attached video. After doing it myself an unsual thing happened, at 7 o'clock I got a phone call from what I thought was my provider, an indian woman spoke asking if I had any problems with my computor whether it was slow starting up the net or my msn program. Then she hang up when I started asking questions, on why she rang. Now I am not saying its some conspirsy but, I would of thought if someone was phoning you you would want to know why.

 

Micosoft is a private company that is selling and using your information to the government of the USA, Now if they are doing that in the name of secrity issues, which is against the law in this country. Then what is stopping them from selling on to other government agencies, banks, multinations and so on. Or the USA government selling it on.

 

Do you want the tax department looking at your books, or your kids photos. Personnal letters. You name it.

I got a similar call from a man who had an accent, just from watching the second video!!!!!!!! The problem is not Microsoft - but may be connected in someway to these videos!!! It doesn't make sense to me - but the only thing I did was watch the second video.

I know for a fact that credit card and banks are selling information to corpations. It is just one step away from governments doing the same. If its anything you can trust your government, to keep your private information safe for a price. Meaning if they are getting into bed with private or public companies in the why they are writing their policies. In other words you give your private information freely and have to pay to keep it, that way. Which would make you pay through your taxs, pay to put your paper work in, pay the fee for the approval and pay for privacy of information.

Hi Richard and Bristow:

This technology is fairly new and criminals will look for ways to exploit info.
Be careful...
Thanks,

Thank you for your consern, but my point is governments using it without permittion for profit, or creating laws to use it for profit, without your consent. Big brother as Richard said he got a phone call for watching a video. American FBI and CIA now spying on Canadians?

Info on Computer Repair Telemarketing Scams - this is what they tried on me. I hung up within 5 seconds. I don't think the FBI is running a computer repair scam.

Yes your right, I got another phone call this afternoon, from them too, told them to f off. But they got our phone number to do the scam, which proves some thing. I been doing my own research, and in the end its up to each idvual to make up his their own mind. Governments have attendancy to throw radical ideas and gauge the reaction throw leaks and hearsy or use an event to push throw policies. Which as been proven again and again. Now they don't bother, the people have given us the mandate to rule. As a Queensland permier said, as she sold everything that the state owned.

Rural councillors reject rezoning land for controversial battery energy storage system

Ottawa’s Agricultural and Rural Affairs Committee has rejected rezoning a property near Dunrobin as a site for a massive battery to store electricity. Three of the five rural councillors on the committee voted against rezoning land on Marchurst Road from rural countryside to rural general industrial to allow for construction of the controversial battery energy storage system, or BESS. A BESS is a giant collective battery — in this case, a lithium-ion battery — used to store electricity and distribute it as needed. Under the proposal from Brookfield Renewables, the 15-acre site on Marchurst Road would be home to a substation, 256 battery containers with noise walls and a stormwater management system to capture runoff. Residents have concerns, including noise, potential fires and contaminated well water. They also say details are sparse about decommissioning the $650-million facility once it has outlived its 25-year life expectancy. The Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO),

FCC report highlights productivity as key to Canada's agricultural future

Canadian farmers could see significant income gains and new opportunities if agricultural productivity growth returns to historic highs. The Farm Credit Canada (FCC) report titled Reigniting agricultural productivity in Canada, estimates that boosting productivity growth to two per cent annually could unlock $30 billion in additional farm income, generate $31 billion in GDP, and create nearly 23,000 jobs across the country. Canada has long been a standout among global food producers. Over the past half-century, the agriculture industry has achieved significant productivity growth through better farm management, improved input efficiency and technological innovation. The report warns, however, that productivity growth has slowed in recent years, threatening the industry's competitiveness and Canada's ability to meet growing national and global food demand. "Canada's agricultural productivity growth has consistently outpaced other G7 countries for more than three decades, showing the s

Ontario’s manufacturing jobs fall to lower rate since 1976: budget watchdog

The Ford government's push to make Ontario a "manufacturing powerhouse" appears to be faltering, according to the latest data from the province's budget watchdog, which found manufacturing activity is at its "lowest level since 2015." The Financial Accountability Officer's (FAO) latest economic review found that manufacturing - which represents about 10 per cent of the province's economy - has faced a number of challenges, including pandemic-related shutdowns, supply-chain disruptions, shipping issues, auto plant retooling, slowing demand, and, most recently U.S. tariffs on Ontario’s exports. The result, the watchdog found, was a decline in manufacturing output in seven of the past eight quarters between mid-2023 to mid-2025, leading to 20,600 fewer jobs, representing a declining share of the province's economy. "Manufacturing jobs as a share of Ontario’s total employment recently fell below 10% for the first time since record keeping began in 1976," the FAO said. The report offers

Briefs: $110K hospice gift; Vet student scholarship; Pork conference

The contribution, one the last from the foundation, was made recently in memory of longtime Beattie Foundation president Jack Morrison, who died Oct. 26, the hospice foundation said in a release. The family has opted to donate remaining Beattie Foundation funds to local initiatives close to their hearts, with donations also going to the Chatham-Kent Children’s Treatment Centre and Chatham-Kent Health Alliance foundations, the release said. “Jack was determined to ensure that all arrangements and donations were taken care of before his passing,” his daughter-in law, Jill Morrison, said. “He was deeply passionate about the James A. Beattie Foundation, and I know he would be smiling, likely with tears in his eyes.” The Beattie Foundation, which has contributed $240,000 to the hospice over the years, “has long exemplified the power of quiet generosity, making a significant and meaningful difference throughout Chatham-Kent,” hospice foundation executive director Brock McGregor said.

Eastern Ontario Reopens A Strategic Agricultural Gateway After 30 Years

Eastern Ontario has reopened one of Canada's most strategic agricultural gateways with the arrival of the Federal Montreal, the first bulk vessel fertilizer cargo to dock in the region in almost three decades. Its discharge – coordinated through a logistics partnership led by V6 Agronomy alongside the Port of Johnstown – reactivates a long-dormant section of the St. Lawrence Seaway and establishes a modern Prairie-Seaway trade corridor connecting Western Canadian producers to Eastern and international markets. This renewed corridor links inbound fertilizers with outbound grain, pulses, and agri-products through an integrated marine-rail pathway. The result is a Canadian-controlled logistics chain that improves rail asset utilization, strengthens national food security, and reduces reliance on foreign infrastructure for critical agricultural inputs and exports. "This moment marks the renewal of a corridor that has been dormant for nearly three decades," said Ryan Brophy, CEO of V6 Agr
