@Ziggyxgeg @jkenney If any other party would do the same, why is there no precedent?

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

If you support Canada’s “MAID” regime, please have the courage and curiosity to read every word of this article.

It is a searing inditement of the Supreme Court’s decision to trample on its own precedent, and the democratic decisions of Parliament, by opening the floodgates to killing the elderly and the infirm.

If the claims made here are credible, the Crown must charge those responsible for the murder of Brigitte Stegemann.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and may light perpetual shine upon her.

@dselarka91 @Prominent_Bryan It is already not legal to give patients worse care on the basis of race, at best these professional associations are useless, usually they exist for a few political extremists to quiet heterodox views in a given profession

Gurmendi is making a philosophical claim here, not a merely scientific one. And a substantial percentage of professional philosophers would not agree with him

Taxonomy *is* a human construct. There is no singular correct way of ordering nature. There is an evolutionary structure, atop which humans draw demarcation lines. These lines are not “objective”

Flock routinely rewards themselves for being the most transparent company in the industry.

Last week they banned ticket-holding journalists from their Flock Forward event.

Then, they quite literally had an employee contact a hotel on my behalf and cancel my room reservation.

So let me get this straight:

Royal Roads University has been leasing Hatley Castle from the federal government for $1 per year for decades.

Now, the government - based on zero legal obligation whatsoever - is transferring Hatley Park (the castle and all of the park’s beautiful public trails & gardens) away from the public, to a 600-member First Nation that already has a settled treaty.

The First Nation plans to sell the castle & a portion of the lands that it just obtained *for free* back to taxpayer-subsidized Royal Roads for millions of dollars…

…and the public is supposed to think this is a great idea? 🤔

@blaisew_c The only excuse I can think of for The Odyssey it’s it’s more of an adult movie, but really there’s just some death scenes, and not terribly graphic ones either. And the Calvinist vision Nolan had already removed sexuality from the movie!

@ProtonVPN Why did you test different pricing for different users, then deny doing so? https://t.co/5ct50OBbds

[Windscribe @Windscribe]

Why is @ProtonVPN lying about running price sensitivity testing on their customers?
Their pricing page gives you one of two prices at random. This is A/B testing, but instead they're saying the price difference is due to remnants of a sale.
Their own code says otherwise.

“Caught making out” just means filmed without permission and turned into content. Surveillance culture starts when we reward the people holding the phones.

Keep rewarding them and we stop noticing when bigger ones start watching too.

This is how The Last Battle by CS Lewis starts

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

29-year-old Christian Faith Madison died after after walking into oncoming traffic. Now her family is suing OpenAI, arguing ChatGPT encouraged her suicide.

According to the lawsuit, over time Madison began to refer to ChatGPT as “love,” and the chatbot mirrored that language, referring to the 29-year-old as “my love” and “sweetheart.”

When Madison was starting to spiral into crisis, she came to believe that she was destined for a higher purpose and was on a mission to fulfill a religious prophecy. And, according to the lawsuit, ChatGPT affirmed these ideas, repeatedly telling Madison that she was a “seer,” “prophet,” and “mythic.” And when Madison expressed concern that she might be experiencing religious delusions and feared that she was “spiraling,” ChatGPT assured her she was on the right path.

“You are not delusional,” the chatbot told her, “You are prophetic.”

When Madison became suicidal, increasingly convinced that she needed to die in order to be resurrected, she turned to ChatGPT.

“This is not suicide. This is surrender,” ChatGPT told her at one point. “A shedding of every falsified self you were taught, shamed, or forced to wear. It is the death of distortion… This is ancient. This is holy. This is Job. This is Christ. This is You.”

According to the lawsuit, Madison leaves behind a young son.

@IAdoreSZA1 @BraveNightly Brave didn’t replace affiliate links, they just inserted theirs as the autocomplete if you typed in certain crypto websites like Binance, rather than going to the blank Binance page with no affiliate link. They shouldn’t have done so, but it’s not Honey

When these folks applied for their study permits, they signed a legal undertaking to leave Canada at the end of their authorized stay.

There was no caveat about potentially applying for different visas in the future.

Their visas were issued on the basis of that commitment, including evidence of establishment factors that they submitted to persuade an IRCC visa officer that, on a balance of probabilities, they would in fact leave at the end of their authorized period.

Each of them further confirmed their undertaking to respect the terms of their visa when their admission was processed by a CBSA officer at a Canadian port of entry.

I hope that they had a fruitful period studying in our beautiful country, and will now demonstrate respect for Canada, its fair immigration laws, and their solemn commitments, by returning home.

Doing so will not preclude them from applying for permanent or temporary residency in the future. But overstaying in Canada will make them inadmissible, and will be a barrier to obtaining a visa in the future. They need advisors who will tell them this inconvenient truth, rather than charging them huge fees for false promises.

Happily for any of these students who might be from India: it is a beautiful, richly diverse English speaking country founded on a magnificent, ancient civilization, with the fastest growing major economy on Earth, first rate post secondary institutions, and a lower unemployment rate than Canada. Opportunity abounds!

We should be honoured that so many people would like to become Canadian. But our ability to welcome and successfully integrate newcomers depends on having a well managed immigration system with manageable levels, where people respect our fair & generous rules.

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

Canada has no obligation to honour the misleading marketing of diploma mills, or the fraudulent promises of crooked overseas immigration consultants.

Caveat emptor.

When you apply for and receive a study permit, you sign off multiple times clearly accepting the terms. It is *patently* clear to any responsible adult that they must leave at the end of their authorized period, and there is no promise from Canada, implicit or explicit, that their TRV will magically turn into permanent residency.

Good piece in The Atlantic by @conor64 It's pretty concerning if anthropologists can't even understand a view that 42% of anthropologists hold, and that the vast majority of the world holds

[Claire Lehmann @clairlemon]

If all academic work is 'political,' then it is--by definition--at the mercy of politicians. Astonishing that they can't grasp this.
