Huh??

How can the Prime Minister of Canada exonerate people executed before Canada was a country?  This event for which natives are being pardoned happened in 1864; Canada became a country in 1867.  Trudeau must be delusional!  And his advisors should be fired.  No one has a clue in the PMO.

But what I really want to talk about is facebook and the hullaballoo about the release of information.  What am I missing?  We put that information out there, we dump it into the ether ourselves and then we are outraged when someone uses it?  A while ago, I was being stalked so I re-did all my privacy settings so no one, other than "friends", can now see it.  Oh sure, I know fb knows I sometimes take ridiculous quizzes and search restaurants and directions, but who cares?  Why can't people restrict their settings?  Every time I open fb, I get a "sharing/privacy" warning; if people choose to ignore it, hit that keyboard at your peril.

Unless you are searching kiddie porn sites, why the outrage?  Oh, maybe these people are searching illegal sites and don't want to be caught?  I also know people whose real lives are so effed up and dysfunctional, they invent a new one, made up of complete lies, and put it in its entirety on fb -- every meal they eat, every party they attend, every place they go, every pic, pic, pic, pic.  So how can they be upset when this data is mined for whatever use?

Anyway, as I said, I am probably missing something about the gravity of the fb info.  But then, I only have 18 "friends", so how much damage can I do?
