It's nothing but a pipe dream at this point, and ground bases will still be necessary.

This was my response last time, Canada isn't optional, most ballistic missile paths from Russia and China pass over Canada and detecting them would require radar architecture in Canada

This shit is too grey for the courts to handle properly.

Even with a video or audio recording, it's impossible to know state of mind.

As we see with this case, they can actively be saying yes or engaging with people and then say they felt they had no choice but to participate.

Without video or audio recordings, these things almost always come down to context at best, or just they said/they said at worst.

How can our justice system find anything to be true in these situations "beyond a reasonable doubt" at that point?

I'm not detracting from sexual assault being bad, it is, I'm just pointing out that there isn't a reasonable way to fix it that I've heard so far and we can't just believe every victim because we know that it's being abused (even if it's rare) by malicious actors to punish people that committed no crime.

The only actual solution I have at this point is we should just all start fucking robots, because people are stupid.

They do not need to be willing to sell, Eminent domain is part of the 5th amendment and government can use it to seize pretty much anything for 'public use' but it does call for compensation

Yes, it kept improving

Cheez wiz, as the name implies its a cheese spread that comes in a jar.

Just nationalize SpaceX at this point for "national security reasons"

Yup, by excluding the south east (Texas to Florida) they could easily reboot it in a much more progressive manner.

Nobody said it had to be publicly available to be developed or used. Governments can push this along just fine.

Economic sanctions haven't worked against Russia so far, why would they work against China or India or whoever else wants to do it.

Why would China or Russia agree to an anti-ai treaty? Those technologies benefit their objectives quite heavily.

Even if they said they would, unlike military assets like missiles, hiding a datacenter's use case is trivial.

It's not like Russia(or the US) has been following existing treaty rules scrupulously even with the current stuff.

And no, you can't regulate bias. Deep fakes... Some of it, but definitely not all of it. Commercial stuff from Microsoft or meta may be able to he regulated, but if there's any benefit to not doing so customers will just purchase services from outside the country to accomplish that.

A decent discussion to have.

 

Sizeable earthquake just off the coast.

 

The party of fiscal responsibility ya'll

They say it will be caught up to with growth, which they've predicted to be above 5% per year... no way that happens, major banks are predicting sub 2% growth.

 

He stands by the party member who made derogatory comments about indigenous and Muslim people.

Please judge him and find him wanting.

 

The title is a bit misleading and makes it sound like it's a one time payment. It's very different, he's promising to exempt up to $3000 a month towards your housing costs from income taxes. Starting at $1500 a month in 2026 and going up $500 a year for 3 more years. At the max, it would be a $36,000 a year tax deduction which is absolutely massive, that's half of the average family income.

Great idea? It's complicated, but probably not a good idea.

When you make something "cheaper" for everyone like this in a supply constrained market, all that does is drive up the prices of rents and housing sale prices since people can now use that freed up money to pay more for those.

Also, his plan to pay for this multi-billion dollar plan is:

“Obviously, we need to take a look at this reckless spending that David Eby has put in place in terms of how to sort of rein in some of that spending,” said Rustad.

So that's not really "fiscally conservative" at all.

 

This asshole is literally a conspiracy theorist. He says it was about controlling the population, not stopping the spread of the virus.

Which countries (and even provinces) had the fewest covid deaths per capita? Oh.. the ones with the highest vaccination rates.

Everyone with a brain knows vaccines reduce illness, that's why we have the fucking things.

Surprise surprise, a Conservative who's got a past full of hate.

 

This is the true Canada, open to all ideas. Let's keep it this way.

 

Personally, it seems stupid not to have a liaison in high schools. This is where teens establish "bad" patterns, and every single one they manage to save early is one less problem for decades in the future.
