If you have to live in a fascist state it is far better for it to be policed by the likes of these men than someone more competent and cruel. Patel's FBI is a frat-Stasi.

Canada has a hell of a lot of damage to undo (and needs to stop adding to it by way of the current govt's economic agenda amongst other things) but I am sometimes proud to see things like this take place that demonstrate that reconciliation can be done with dignity and care on all sides.

I think Smith could successfully sue Schmitt for defamation now, since he's restating the falsehood outside of the Senate hearing, and by this point he clearly knows what he's saying is false

Trial judge held federal s5(2) Controlled Drugs and Substances Act violated Charter of Rights section 7 and 15. Charter claim seems based on accused 'providing people who use [illegal] drugs with a safer alternative to the toxic illicit supply.' BCSC Justice Catherine Murray was 'proud' of accused.

Rising residential school denialism and anti-Indigenous racism have created an environment where white supremacists feel emboldened to target and intimidate First Nations in their communities. It’s disgusting and completely unacceptable.

A thing I learned about Meta when I was trying to understand how their statements relate to their actions a few years ago is that *they just tell absolutely indefensible lies* and journalists almost always let them. They believed no one would ever punish them for it in any way that matters.

I think, at a very high level, this is what Carney has in mind when he talks about data sovereignty in building data centers here in Canada. I think it misses the broader point on AI buildout, application and impact, but I think he's trying to partially decouple and firewall from the US.

Citing a betting app as a reliable source is poor journalistic practice for any serious institution. That aside, Carney has done nothing to earn the Nobel Peace Prize and the report itself reads more like a child urging on a fist-fight for their own amusement.

Important, when talking about the threat posed by AI, to ground that convo in the fact that it is made and controlled by people. We keep talking about AI models as though they're these unbiddable entities, because otherwise we'd have to acknowledge the fact that we've let these people run riot.
