Ottawa Drops $38 Million to Expand Internet in Manitoba
The federal government has yet again announced more spending to expand high-speed internet to rural areas.
This time, the feds are investing over $38 million to bring high-speed internet access to 3,611 households in 14 rural and remote communities across Manitoba, which includes 3,135 Indigenous households. The funding comes from the $3.2 billion Universal Broadband Fund.
The goal of these projects is to improve connectivity, making it easier for people to access education, healthcare, and online resources. Some rural areas have terrible internet access and lack high speed connectivity.
“Every community in Canada deserves access to high-speed Internet. This announcement is another step our government is taking in delivering on its commitment to ensure every Manitoban has access, no matter where they live,” said Dan Vandal, Minister of Northern Affairs, Minister responsible for Prairies Economic Development Canada and Minister responsible for the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency
Ottawa wants 98% of Canadian households will have access to high-speed internet by 2026, with a plan to connect everyone in the country by 2030.

How to Back Up Your iPhone or iPad with Your Mac
Apple has shared a handy tutorial video on its YouTube channel, detailing how you can back up your iPhone or iPad with your Mac using the Finder.
This works out to $10,523.40 per household.
Where did this money come from? Us, the taxpayer, no doubt. All for communities who don't contribute.
How much of this money is actually going to be spent to improve infrastructure and how much is adue to government incompitence and burocracy? I'll take a guess and say the majority of this nonsense is the latter.
Do we expect to have this paid back or are we giving them internet for free for a few decades, too?
