I was wondering why someone who went after Arday for two weeks would tweet this after his death. Maybe they just wanted his career to be destroyed and not him to die. But I realized it wasn't that. Now the deed is done, they wanted to put back on a respectability cloak.
A vulnerable person was unmercifully exploited by institutions who uncritically used him to advertise their diversity credentials, racists who used him to pursue their divisive agenda, and a media that thrives on such conflict. No-one comes out of this well.
@carolecadwalla@timeshighered Journalist(s) make up the industry. Blaming individual journalists is valid. The guy is celebrating his nomination even after his work was key to the witch hunt that lead to someone dying. There should be no qualification.
@CTVNews Then who are the legitimate representatives of indigenous communities? Elected leaders or ancestral chiefs? Do some sections within indigenous communities who have greater voice in Ottawa truly representative of others?
@CTVNews Maybe, but it isn’t an easy task. While the Indian act is dissatisfactory getting consensus for a better alternative is not straightforward. For eg the question of who is indigenous itself is contentious one.
@PeterWMurphy1 But these are at the moment just allegations. It’s still just his son saying so. Police haven’t declared they found anything. Though odd for his son to make such an accusation.
@DrCryptoPsych@peterrhague He recycled phrases in I believe around 5% of his thesis. These seem to be describing other people’s work. He didn’t claim other people’s work as his. It is more akin to poor preparation than purposeful stealing. It is indicating while changing lanes not murder.
@ABC The car had already missed the officer before he fired. So it wasn’t him having to fire to save his life. He fired because the car was trying to get away. He almost got hit because he was close to the fleeing car not because they were trying to run over him.
@BBCNews Police officer didn’t shoot to save his life. He shot because they were going to get away. They didn’t use the car to attack the police officer, they were trying to get away and came close to hitting an officer.
@DUCKW0RTHJr@goueeik@lreyzin I think the issue is everyone is doing to with AI, so it now becomes a needle in the haystack. It must be difficult for prospective student to now connect with a supervisor by cold emailing.
