Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?

  • How do the things in this bill accomplish that?

  • There’s no reason for us to come up with “draconian” bills to appease to Taco Chicken.

    Maybe you should tell the Public Safety Minister.

    Anandasangaree said Tuesday that Bill C-2 was drafted to contain "elements that will strengthen the relationship" between Canada and the U.S.

    "There are a number of items in the bill that have been irritants for the U.S. so we are addressing some of those issues," he said. "But it's not exclusively about the United States."

  • Of the points raised in the video, which do you think aren't harmful?

    Unilaterally cancelling immigration applications without any real oversight is draconian.

    The video lays out a very concrete example of why the one-year limit on asylum claims is not a great idea.

    I would think that eliminating "barriers" to forcing electronic service providers to hand over user data to law enforcement should be relevant to the interests of most Lemmy users.

    Making it easier for the police to seize and open mail is...concerning.

  • outside Canada they need to be better promoted as Canadian.

    Interesting - what do you see as the benefit to that? I'm not disagreeing, but I hadn't really considered it before.

    One thing that needs to happen is the Conservative traitors to stop lying about and maligning the CBC.

    Big yup.

  • Oh.

  • Oh?

  • I think something like that is happening - available rooms are being prioritized for evacuees with medical or accessibility needs, as the article says.

    The issue with proactively evicting people is...those people have to go somewhere, too.

  • "I ask all levels of government, please come together, work together, ask that these hotels and these accommodations make space for our people. We are in a state of emergency, you can give that directive."

    I find this a little confusing - are they to "ask" the hotels to make space, or are they to "direct" them? Those are two very different things.

    And if it's the latter...is there a legal way to do so? This is an honest question, I have no idea what the answer is.

  • A decent chunk of his argument is simply to push back against this...loudly.

    Finally, it is time to start calling out a lot of provincial grievance for the rank bullshit it often is.

  • Thanks - I find the "reformed" Senate fascinating.

  • In fairness, they brought him back twice in season two - once as a dancing Klingon, no less.

  • I certainly agree that it needs government oversight and attention. A ministry, though...I'm not convinced, and inclined to think the worst when "we'll use AI to fix the government" was a consistent taking point during the campaign.

    But it was rightly pointed out that AI is only part of the name. I'd just as soon it not be there, but we'll see what happens.

  • I don't know if there's any scenario where I think it's worthy of its own ministry.

  • July 1 is his self-established deadline.

  • Well you see, she doesn't support sovereignty, and has to stop them from starting their own party, so obviously she has to give them what they want, stoke the flames, and make it easier to hold a referendum.

    It's so simple!

  • At this point, "one crank neurologist" seems to be the most likely explanation by far.
