In all fairness, it is a pretty shitty book.

That's not just a 'concern', that's reality. The bill literally just requires someone to come up with "a national strategy to assess implementation models for a guaranteed basic income program in Canada." Here's the text of her do-nothing two page bill, which is nothing more than a cynical attempt to brand herself as "the UBI person" in the hope of getting re-elected.

I've been wondering for a while if there might be some practical way to design an application that sits on a user's computer and periodically tests the network connection over a variety of different ports and protocols to identify throttling... If there are symptoms (like the RST you mentioned) that could be identified locally, the monitoring data from all users with the app installed and running could be collected somewhere and analyzed to give a picture of the throttling practices of different ISPs, which would allow consumers to make buying decisions based on throttling practices.

Do you think there is any practical way of putting together an app like that? What other symptoms of throttling are there that you know of? Could useful information be gathered from a single computer without two network connections to compare?

Earlier this year, Iran (a country where women are not permitted to ride bicycles or choose not to wear a headscarf) was elected to a seat on the UN Commission on the Status of Women in a secret ballot. It is clear that at least four western democracies voted in favour of this appointment.

How did Canada vote on this issue? Was Canada one of the countries that voted to appoint Iran to the Commission?

Why doesn't your bill do any of those things then?
