Immigration minister says he wants to make it easier for Indigenous people to cross borders

Just abolish the damn border and establish a common immigration system. Both Canada and the US have deeply flawed immigration systems, by opening internal borders and switching to a common scheme both countries have a politically less decisive time to renew and update immigration schemes. By working together with a common border we can save significant resources in both countries.

As it stands both Canada and the US allow their border officers to perform inland enforcement actions, by working together we could still police and patrol the border (open does not mean unsecured) for drugs, guns etc. Heck, inspection stations like you see when entering California could be an option at high volume crossings, they exist in the EU too and are opened and closed depending on current events.

India expels Canadian diplomat after Canada links Indian agents to Sikh leader death

Here's a thought, I see options being thrown around all over like renouncing visas and such, but would assassinating a Canadian citizen in Canadian soil qualify for NATO article 50? A firm reminder from Canada about our key position within NATO (and a reinvigorated conviction to spending in that area) would give Trudeau an easy out, and send a firm message to India without needing to actually invoke the articles.

Cities Skylines 2 PC performance is below target and modding tools will be basic at launch, Paradox says

Reply in thread

So, not a lot of detail as this is a shit post account, but I mocked up a vector based system to use rather than grids which allows a city builder to run smoother and lighter on ram instead of basically being a giant spread sheet. Each path was a single vector and a data tree ties all the information to a single point on an infinitely divisible grid. It allowed a game to be more complex, and allowed for better road and other building elements.

I gave it away for free, hoping someone, anyone with more time on their hands would use it. Paradox now owns the rights to that system, they aren't using it, but they are likely making sure noone else does.

What's so bad about dropping grids and right angles, why can't a building be a shape other than square? Because it's cheaper to do and easier to mod.

If I ever have the time I'll whip something up in unreal as a demonstration. The original was unfortunately built in unity. The whole point was to allow buildings to follow curved roads.
