Slight difference between little Johny torrrenting the latest movie for personal use and an AI company doing it for commercial gain.

While your question is not off base you completely discredit it with the manipulation claim. Hence the downvotes.

Here’s the thing, Christians believe that heaven is their entitlement when they claim to believe in god as the almighty. In their eyes being a good person and doing good deeds is not what gets you in, just the belief. This is why shitty Christians still think they go to heaven. Catholics believe that their lifetime of good deeds tilt the scale in their favour and gets them access to the pearly gates.

This also explains why US Christians don’t see Catholics as true Christians. Religion is fucking weird man.

Sorry but I don’t get the point of your comment. Are you saying only conservatives exhibit this behavioural pattern? Cause I’d have to strongly disagree on that point.

And just for you, the last election I voted NDP. The one before that I voted Libs. And before that I didnt bother. So get lost with your bullshit generalizations. I’m far from a conservative but I also think people blindly voting a color is dumb and wish parties were not listed on ballots.

Hyperbole much? People only ever care once something affects them personally. Do I think the CPC is the better option, probably not. But I won’t reward the same bunch of clowns just cause they put a new face on the party and rolled back some policies in the face of election annihilation. They should have done that before it got to that point instead of talking down to people. Since I can’t vote green in my riding I’m left with little choice.

Carney had one simple job to earn my vote, stop this ridiculous ideologically driven hatred of legal gun owners by the liberal party. He chose otherwise.

Guess I’ll waste my ballot or worse vote CPC. As a white upper middle class male with savings I won’t suffer any of the fallout of a CPC win and honestly why should I care about people who use me as a wedge issue and vote to take away my property due to ignorance of the current laws. Fuck em and if they suffer some consequences then maybe they’ll reflect on that.

It wasn’t the US last time but ok. Neither of the two big MRNA vaccine producers were US.

Tell me you’re USanian without telling me.

Btc is range bound same as it’s been for months now if looking at the euro or cad. Hardly a crash but some folks are cashing out for sure, driving prices down.

It’s an interesting proposition but the current areas everyone wants to settle to can’t sustain it anymore. Government needs to start spreading their dollars, and by association people, to other parts of the country which the room for growth. I don’t it will happen.

Can we not just send her to cunt island with all the other cunts. And then maybe Alberta can elect an adult.

We are both doomed.

I’m old enough to remember the “Harper will put soldiers on our streets” ads but ok buddy.

Clearly you’re not paying attention then or you unions just confirm your personal bias cause it’s pretty flagrant.

Honest question here, why does everyone get upset over these third party groups but not others? Why is it when unions use member dues to support a candidate or party it’s generally accepted but this particular instance is bad?

Personally I think they all embellish or outright lie no matter which side of the political spectrum they support. The fix is not to complain about specific groups, it’s to ban this type of advertising from anyone other than actual candidates and parties. Make them own their bullshit instead of hiding behind third parties.

Easy fix. Cut a hole in the wall on the Canadian side or better yet tear our half down. Fuck these idiots.

If anyone actually read the article, they’re asking everyone, including Canadians, who’s receiving research grants from them.

The fix is easy, stop accepting funding from these clowns. Otherwise you need to play by their rules. I don’t agree with the nonsense in south Canada but it’s prerogative.

That’s never going to happen. Various bands are not getting back land that now host large cities and infrastructure. You can rail against that injustice until your death, which will accomplish nothing, or you can try to find a way forward.

And I say this as someone who believes that Canadian demographics are against you. The white guilt of colonization is quickly diluting into the pool of 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants who feel no guilt and have no connection to this questionable past. At that point nobody will care and your culture will be erased like so many others in the past.

Why is military procurement such a bloody mess in this country. Truly don’t understand. Get something that’s good enough to meet the baseline requirements and then apply a local spending/manufacturing lens. Done.

This need to always purchase the absolute best and not build local manufacturing is a real buzzkill.

Every single social platform has tried to do this and failed. Once a platform reaches critical mass the bits, scammers, etc… move in and start exploiting any “honour” mechanism that might exist.

Probably the best I’ve come across is ycombinator news but that’s pretty niche.

We do but it’s all high end custom ordered stuff for military, space or auto applications. Consumer stuff disappeared around the sitcom boom when JDS, Norte, and others folded or were bought out. Only blackberry is left and it’s mostly from China?
