If Bill C-22 passes, here's what changes for Canadian crypto traders

  • Exchanges and wallet providers could be classified as electronic service providers and forced to build surveillance backdoors
  • P2P trade conversations on Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp subject to metadata retention for up to a year
  • VPN providers may be forced to log data or leave Canada entirely
  • Coinkite (Coldcard) already planning to leave Canada if it passes
  • Minister can issue surveillance orders in secret, no public disclosure required
  • Bill C-25 running alongside it would ban crypto donations to federal campaigns entirely
  • A backdoor for law enforcement is a backdoor for hackers and foreign states too

Any surfers using VW ID.Buzz for surf trips?

I have two longboards and I can fit them inside but ideally I want to place them on the roof. My concern is how badly it will affect battery range. Curious if there are surfers here using the ID.Buzz.

A visual guide to every Machu Picchu circuit (1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B)

I prepared this visual guide to every Machu Picchu circuit for r/GoingToPeru members.

Machu Picchu updated its circuit system in June 2024 and a lot of people still don't realize how much it affects what you actually see. There are now 3 circuits split into 10 routes, and you cannot switch once you're inside.

Circuit 1 (Panorámico): views only from the upper terraces. No ruins, no temples, no plazas. Great for the classic photo or pairing as a second-day visit, but first-timers who book this thinking it includes the ruins are in for a surprise.

Circuit 2 (Clásico): the one most people should be doing. Covers roughly 80% of the main structures: temples, plazas, Temple of the Condor, Sacred Rock, Water Mirrors, the works. Route 2-A gives you a closer classic angle on the citadel, 2-B gives you the wider "postcard" shot from a higher platform. Both cover the same ground after that opening split.

Circuit 3 (Realeza): focuses on the lower royal sector. Doesn't include the iconic panoramic viewpoint. The main reason to book this is mountain access: Huayna Picchu, Huchuy Picchu, and the Great Cavern are all locked to Circuit 3 tickets.

Based on booking data from Machu Picchu Guided Tours, Circuit 2-A accounts for about 45% of visits, 2-B around 25%. Together they dominate for a reason.

If you want a deeper breakdown of all 10 routes, what each one includes, and which circuit fits your trip, this guide covers it really well: https://machupicchuguided.tours/circuits-breakdown-subroutes

Which circuit did you do? And how did it go?

Does it make sense to do all the Machu Picchu circuits within a week?

I'm planning to spend about a week in the Cusco/Machu Picchu area and wondering if it's realistic to do multiple Machu Picchu circuits or if that's overkill. 1,2,3,4 and all the possible subroutes.

Some people do just one circuit and feel like they saw everything. Others go back multiple days to experience different circuits and get the full picture.

What would you recommend for someone with about a week in the area - go to Machu Picchu once and explore other sites, or make Machu Picchu the focus and experience it multiple ways?

What are luxury or unique hotels/stays in Cusco?

I'm looking for luxury or unique accommodation recommendations in Cusco. For those who've stayed at high-end or special places there, what would you recommend?

I want something memorable for my time in Cusco, not just a standard hotel. Whether it's a beautifully restored colonial building, a boutique property with incredible views, a hotel with exceptional service and amenities, or something truly unique to the area.

I want the ID. Buzz but my rational side keeps saying no.. owners, change my mind (or don't)

I grew up obsessed with the VW Westfalia. The ID. Buzz was basically a dream announcement for me — modern EV take on an icon. I got on the waitlist pretty much immediately. Then the Canadian pricing dropped and it was over $80k. Hard pass.

They just cut $21k off the price. And now that GAS feeling is back.

This would be a second vehicle, mostly for road trips. Not a daily driver. So range anxiety is probably more real for me than for someone commuting around the city. I've been reading threads here and elsewhere and I keep seeing the same complaints like software glitches, range that's just okay, stuff that feels unfinished for a nearly $70k vehicle.

And that's what's stopping me. Because at $68k CAD, I keep comparing it to cheaper the Kia EV9, the upcoming Ioniq 9, and a few others that seem to offer more practical value. I know that. My rational side knows that.

But none of them look like that.

So for the people here who actually own one is the experience living up to the vibe? Or is this a "buy with your heart, regret with your wallet" situation?

Not looking to be talked into it. Just want the honest picture from people who've been in the seat.

Line for those with Pre Tickets

Update from my previous post

Arrived AC on May 6 at 6:40am, now it’s 6am on May 7 where we are lining up in order of our ticket number to buy tickets for the hike on May 8.

The guy who calls the number does it on a loud speaker in spanish, the first 200 number he just calls it out loud, so if you can’t speak spanish you’re kinda screwed.

But after 200, he is lining everyone up in order so you can kinda just compare your ticket with others around you to figure out your spot.

Had 2 short cooks on my Weber Searwood (steak at max sear temp and then salmon for about 40 mins), nothing crazy.

Before committing to a 24-hour brisket, I figured I’d do a quick clean… and found this

Completely clogged burn pot with fused pellets.

It's first time this has ever happened to me. No idea why, I didn’t notice anything off during the cooks.

Now I’m a bit hesitant to trust it for a long brisket cook.

Has anyone else had this happen with the Weber Searwood?

I'm heading to Lima and most restaurants I wanted to try are fully booked and considering booking a food tour. For those who've done one, was it actually worth it or could you have just explored the food scene on your own?

If you did a food tour, please suggest which one and how did you like it and what you tried. Thanks!

▲ 160 r/VisitingIceland

I've seen a lot of opinions in this sub about whether it's worth stopping in Iceland for just a few days, and most people seem to suggest against it and say you need at least 7+ days. I did the short trip and have zero regrets. There is tons of stuff to do in and around Reykjavik (both in the city and day trips). Not to mention it basically guaranteed I'll come back for a bigger trip soon!

Sharing my three day plan for anyone considering the same

Day 1: Arrived at 9am, dropped bags at the hotel and roamed around Reykjavik

13:30-15:30: Free Walking Tour in Reykjavik. Great walk with a local guide explaining local things and how people actually live there. Highly suggest it (paid 2500 ISK in tips).

17:30-19:30: Wake Up Food Tour in Reykjavik. OMG this is a must. The tour included 5 places and we tried all the unique signatures: lamb, arctic char, hot dog, lamb soup, fermented shark with a shot of vodka, and finished with rye bread ice cream. Icelandic cuisine is one of a kind.

Day 2: Golden Circle tour ending at the Blue Lagoon

Full day tour that included Thingvellir National Park, Strokkur geyser, Gullfoss Falls, Kerid Crater, and ended at the Blue Lagoon spa for two hours. Can't describe how amazing this tour is, so diverse. I loved every single minute. Ending at the Blue Lagoon was a cherry on top, what a place.

Day 3: South Coast day trip from Reykjavik

Another classic tour. Visited Skogafoss falls, Solheimajokull Glacier, Reynisfjara Beach (I'd stay there the whole day if I could), Vik, and finished off at Seljalandsfoss waterfall.

Still so much left to see around Reykjavik and further out, already prepping for the next trip. Till next time, Iceland!

▲ 7 r/TravelEcuador

I'm trying to decide between Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia for my next trip and I'm wondering which offers the best value for money. For those who've been to multiple countries, how does Ecuador compare?

From what I've researched, Ecuador uses the US dollar which makes budgeting easier, and I've heard it's relatively affordable. But I'm curious if it's actually cheaper than Peru or Colombia, or if they're all pretty similar price-wise for things like accommodation, food, tours, and transportation.

Does Ecuador give you more bang for your buck in terms of experiences and quality, or do you get better value in Peru or Colombia?
