I find it very amusing the number of 'Canadians' in this thread saying how great a place it is after prefacing the comment explaining they now live in the USA.

Every province except Alberta is in dire financial states(Venezuela events will finish them off) . We have no gold reserves. In the next 5 years there will be a mortgage cliff for those who bought at the peak. Major Universities are about to be bankrupt.

Canada is going to get very poor soon. These social goods will be gone, and we will be worse for it.

What was the point of mandatory TPM then? I thought they were storing the keys securely there!

> Enum type 4-byte floating point number

This is why the storage is weird. Why would you use a float for distinct number storage!
