In case anyone missed it at the time, a part of why schools handle sexual violence so badly is because perpetrators were more involved in writing Trump’s 2020 Title IX regulation. It literally comes up in the Epstein files.

Some of the most horrific and vile Jew-hatred happens in diaspora languages, including Arabic, Urdu, Farsi and Punjabi. Our government must give police additional resources so they can properly monitor extremist social media channels and radical influencers inside Canada who communicate in other languages.

An individual in Canada used ChatGPT for eight months to plan one of the country’s worst mass shootings. Yet, if you listen to politicians and media, the real threat of AI is a fantastical scenario where it might wipe out humans in ten years. They need to stop getting fooled by tech deceivers.

Generative AI is harming people today. We don’t need to waste time fantasizing about science fictional scenarios.

New petition sponsored by Liberal MP Arielle Kayabaga calls for a new criminal offence banning recording / publishing video of vulnerable people in public, including those who are homeless, experiencing mental health crises or impaired due to substance use www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Petition to the Government of Canada

Whereas:

• Houseless individuals and those that struggle with mental health are especially vulnerable to exploitation given their circumstances; • The law currently allows these vulnerable people to be filmed and posted on social media without their knowledge and consent often while experiencing crisis;

• This practice puts at risk the safety of this community by allowing those that may mean them harm, a tool to find them. This is especially relevant considering that this population that has a high number of domestic violence survivors and is at higher risk for sexual exploitation; • This act can increase stigmatization and of these groups by showing only snapshots of people suffering or in crisis, with no additional context or education; and

• This community is unlikely to have the resources to seek out civil remedies and criminal remedies against harassment and thus should be afforded extra protection.

We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to create a new provision in the Criminal Code that would make it an offence to knowingly record in public, a person the recorder knows is experiencing "prescribed circumstance of significant vulnerability" for the purposes of publishing or distributing that recording to the public. "Prescribed circumstance of significant vulnerability" include:

(a) experiencing homelessness; (

b) experiencing a mental-health crisis or other acute psychological crisis;

(c) experiencing significant impairment resulting from alcohol, drugs, or another substance; and

(d) experiencing another prescribed circumstance that substantially increases the person's vulnerability to exploitation or serious harm from public exposure.
