Has Canada declared war on the USA by shutting down their power generation capability?

And I always thought those Canadians were so nice.

          I think the cofounder of Wikipedia said all that needs to be said about the credibility of Wikipedia

          Wikipedia can no longer be trusted as a source of unbiased information since the online encyclopedia’s left-leaning volunteers cut out any news that doesn’t fit their agenda, according to the site’s co-founder.

          Larry Sanger, 52, co-founded Wikipedia in 2001 alongside Jimmy Wales, said the crowdsourcing project has betrayed its original mission by reflecting the views of the ‘establishment.’

          He said he agreed with the assessment that ‘teams of Democratic-leaning volunteers’ remove content that isn’t to their liking, including information about scandals linked to President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.

                I’m struggling to understand what the fun you’re having is.

                I had to lookup your quote to find it’s attributed to “Larry Sanger” who hasn’t worked with wikipedia for 20 years…

                It feels like leaving that out and just posting the quote was intentionally misleading. Is misleading people in this community fun for you?

                    No, but the way you framed it it was suggesting this was a recent change. As far as I can tell he’s been at odds with wikipedia since he left in 2002.

                    His views is that since 2002 the site is more left leaning.

                    Context is super important and I’m trying to find what you were joking about.
