I'm just barely holding back my laughter/derision/annoyance. Well, not really.
I recall, some years back, a YouTube video (title: "Snowpocalypse") where the videographer was showing off just how huge the "major" snowfall was, while out walking his dog. The snow was so high it was grazing the dog's belly (a pug, FFS!). Sigh.
While the coal shovel is a good shape it has two flaws: 1) the blade is steel, which adds to the work load; 2) the handle is too short as it's designed for working in tight spaces, so you keep having to bend over. It's a recipe for a heart attack.
I checked out Canadian Tire's, a cross-Canada hardware store, for their selection of 5-star rated snow shovels. One of the winners was an aluminum version of the coal shovel with a longer shaft. This, plus a snow scoop, would be the ideal combination.

Ahem, I think what they meant was: "...working to find the right balance between the public’s interest in disclosure and the importance of protecting the reputation of investigations and the judicial process..."

IoT devices should never be on your main WiFi network. They should only be on a guest WiFi or on a WiFi network that is separate from your main WiFi using its own NAT router. Likewise, none of your guests should be using your main Wifi network.
Since you're correctly concerned about security, I'll assume you've got a newer, more secure Wifi/Access-Point/Router, which should be able to provide a guest network.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Actually, it's really quite easy to record phone calls.
FTL: "A person shall not...intercept..do any act or thing that will enable him or her or another person to intercept a communication passing over a telecommunications system."
Gawd knows what unusual meaning would be given to the word 'intercept' and the phrase 'telecommunications system', but as I understand them and IANAL: my take is that it doesn't apply when your listening to (and recording) the conversation you're having at the endpoint (not 'over a system'), and especially when it's coming out of the speakerphone.
This would apply to phone taps, recording OTA cell and other wireless phones. Note the stated exceptions in the law regarding the linemen, the network specialists, etc.
Besides, I've seen enough Canadian news shows where they play recordings of phone conversations. The last time I checked, Canada was still part of the Commonwealth, eh.
Re: Re: Actually, it's really quite easy to record phone calls.
The in-ear microphone was suggested as essential by some blogger/reporters, and the various models all rate 4+ stars on Amazon.
Bigger bonus: In trying to find the source of the recommendations, I've located some free apps, both for Ios and Android which will record phone calls. Check out the apps stores.
Actually, it's really quite easy to record phone calls.
..if you approach the problem differently.
Sony and Olympus both make inexpensive earphone-style microphones which you fit in your ear and plug into a recorder/computer of some sort. You then hold whatever phone/headset/handset you're using to your ear and voila!
Bonus: it works on any phone, no modification necessary, no impedance-matching, nothing.
You've posed an interesting conundrum: Bastart is a term specific to a male child. What do you call a female child born out of wedlock?
Hmmm. Often, in english, substituting a 'a' where there was an 'o', or appending an 'a' to the word, give the female form. So: bastarda or (by reversing the process) bastord? Inquiring minds need to know.
Re: Re: Canada is officially bilingual, so let's look at its usage in french.
Maybe, except for the fact that Quebec is THE most secular province in Canada. Read up on the Quiet Revolution; it's time to update your prejudices, eh.
Canada is officially bilingual, so let's look at its usage in french.
'Bâtard' (bastard): Bread - a loaf weighing some 450g or so, halfway between a baguette and a full-kilo loaf. Mortar - a mortar mixed from 10 to 15% lime and cement, used outdoors or high humidity indoor environments.
In addition, I'm quite sure that the members of the rather long list of famous and accomplished historical bastards, which includes Leonardo da Vinci, would not consider their class/type/designation as immoral, scandalous and obscene.
