Completely, 100%, absolutely false.
The bank accounts of some of the criminal convoy leaders were frozen. The bank accounts of individuals who donated to the criminal convoy were not touched whatsoever. The money in the frozen donation accounts was eventually returned to those who donated.

Yeah, I was waiting for someone to bring up the convoy criminals.
Believe me, the USA has far harsher sanctions for anyone who commits a crime. Look up "Civil Forfeiture", which is not nearly as easy to do in Canada.

Canada guarantees Freedom of Expression in our Constitution. While on paper, the USA has stronger guarantees, in practice, Canada has much more freedom (as measured, for example, by Freedom House.)
We don't have the equivalent of the FCC threatening broadcasters for which politicians they interview on TV, for example. We don't have governments dictating to librarians which books they are or are not allowed to stock. And we don't have governments banning universities from teaching certain subjects. You know... basic freedoms that you Americans used to take for granted?

employees working "in the field" must "prioritize their safety" and "may contact law enforcement when they believe they are being threatened, harassed, followed, or otherwise face a safety concern."
They are a safety concern. They are creating an opportunity for a foreign adversary. Does anyone really believe these clowns are capable of maintaining security?

Maybe try talking to an older person who has lost their ability to drive and see what a huge loss of independence it represents.
Of course it does where our public transport systems are shit. Some of them include basically taxi service for disabled people.

I don't disagree that what the UK wants to do is offensive, but that doesn't change the fact that Apple has to obey the law in order to operate there. They have the option not to do so.

I watched the output for a little while. The "fly" keeps turning right and moving forwards whether that makes any sense or not. I presume this is a phase but whatever, the point is it isn't so much playing doom as leaning on the keyboard.

Can't rely on others to understand context either apparently.
You can't even figure out that the context is reality, where nothing about your car is independent except your departure time. Literally everything else about it is collaborative from cradle to grave.

In fact Kimmel repeatedly invited Paxton on to the show.
Actually he invited Paxton to a non-boradcast interview like Talarico's.
So to you fairness is when Paxton gets MORE than Tallarico?
Where FCC fairness rules would not apply
The FCC fairness rule you're talking about? Where they both would get an interview? This is both of them getting an interview even where it's not required, so it's above and beyond the requirement you keep crying isn't being met. This isn't only meeting the requirement, it's going beyond that. Cry harder.
and where Kimmel can be as partisan as he wishes to be.
There is no requirement that Kimmel not be partisan on his entertainment show. You're making shit up again because you wouldn't know a fact from any distance.
Do you actually think you're intelligent? Or is this all just LLM-generated trolling on behalf of a cadre of child rapists?

No reasonable person thinks that the word hate in this context means the same thing as the definition to which you are trying to recast it.
No reasonable person would use the word hate where it cannot possibly apply. They would find some other way to discuss the thing which actually made sense because it took into account the definitions of words.
