  • Canada sidesteps UN scrutiny over assisted dying

    Jump

  • failed suicide attempts are rarely clean or lead to deep reflection if they have already gone through the maid process. maid is not some kind of instant approval we do it in an hour situation. failed suicide attempts at this level are messy and tend to involve mutilation and even deeper suffering. You seem to assume i am ableist and completely ignore the fact that there are people who have and will suffer to the very end and want assistance in doing something that is inherently undignified with some dignity while not having to worry about a doctor or a family member being charged with manslaughter for being with them in their last moments. maid gives those people a pathway to self reflect before they make a rash decision. please familiarize yourself with maid and the process before misrepresenting how it works.

  • then lets not circle back around to who is involved and look at the results of not allowing it. the alternative is failed suicide attempts and long term suffering. assuming we can treat or make people jump through hoops or find some kind of grand arbiter just prolongs suffering and helps us look the other way as we force people poorly trained or in immense pain to figure it out themselves or put themselves/others in legal jeopardy in addition to suffering. If I have the right to life as long as it is not at the expense of others than i have the right to end it.

  • except it doesn't just because maid has been authorized it automatically happens. that decision is as it has always been placed with the one asking for it.

  • Carney reaches tariff-quota deal with China on EVs, canola

    Jump

  • Great to see the real numbers, thank you. I agree with the sentiment about manufacturing. If it were me, I would tie expanded levels to local manufacturing, with more favorable rates for non-luxury vehicles.

  • I’m in one of the big cities affected by this in Ontario. I’ve got mixed feelings, but I think this may end up being for the better. With all the American manufacturers backsliding on their EV transitions and keeping their prices sky-high for whatever they do have—all while refusing to stand up to Trump in any meaningful way—now, they’ll have to compete or risk losing the market entirely. I still think we should do more and accept vehicle standards from other countries in our market, not just the American ones. This should lower vehicle costs and, in turn, insurance rates for affordable vehicles. It should also make it more economical to export products directly to China, rather than the current convoluted process of selling to intermediary countries that add minimal processing before re-exporting to China at a higher cost.

    REDACTED: City of Brampton’s $4-billion electric bus deal leaves taxpayers completely in the dark

  • Ford's anti-Trump rhetoric came up repeatedly in trade negotiations: sources

    Jump

  • Warning Opinions/rant incoming:

    If they think that Doug Ford (DoFo) is going to start being nice and quiet by refusing to negotiate or that he is going to suffer in the polls because of this they've misread the situation. If anything this just hardens everyone's resolve that Trump will be petty about even minor grievances and therefore we should accelerate our move away from the USA and look more to the other big guys in the room. If trump is as petty and as much of a "pain" to deal with as china or India but with the only benefit being distance then maybe we need to start setting things up to deal with them more and work on cutting the US out of our dealings with Mexico.

    If the US wants to try and kill the auto sector and lumber industry in Canada. lets make them priorities and make the transit of those resources to ports a priority. if pipelines are such a no go for BC then lets expand rail west. rail can be used for lumber, auto, crops and oil. There seems to be more appetite for a pipeline east especially if it replaces the oil pipeline that goes south through the US and the great lakes and instead goes around it through the prairie's and Ontario. Ontario has Break Bulk ports and many cities that would love to build them if they are given capital and an opportunity to be the next trans mountain project of the east.

    maybe also time to look for some other company to buy the Brampton, Oshawa and Ingersoll plants. maybe some EV manufacturers in china want to assemble there or maybe some low cost smaller cheaper vehicles from India could be made there.

    The US thinks they have us pinned down (mostly because they do at the moment) lets make that not the case in the future so we can still do business without involving them. That will hurt far more than any commercial can.

  • Thus is ybore the Englisshe tunge

    Jump

  • in fairness English does this a lot even in the modern day, take for example words like Umami, Siesta, Rendezvous, or Schadenfreude. these get sprinkled into conversations to add context and add "flair" to conversations or to attempt to communicate more eloquently. There's this culture of English being such a widely used and flexible standard where rules are far too complex or dependent on location that there is relatively few "language police" and you can pretty much get away with any other languages loan words as long as it is an adjective or noun. People like to sound intelligent and cultured and sprinkling a couple easy to recognize loan words tends to "fit the bill".

    Who was the asshole here?

    Jump

  • This all comes down to the old adage “You’re judged by the company you keep”. Being an admin choosing not to interact with or banning/blocking those that you or your community would find harmful is part of the job. That doesn’t make them an asshole. Whether you like it or not you have surrounded yourself with a significant number of problematic topics and stances and people are going out of the way to distance themselves from you. online communication mediums are not guaranteed and participation is optional. You may want to consider why others are treating you this way and why it continues to happen. take a step back and really consider what has been said, the good news is that if you want to change you can, the online sphere cares very little about who you are and a lot about how you treat and communicate with others. If you actually take the time for introspection and change You’ll likely have no issues going forward choosing some other account. Otherwise this will likely happen again and again no matter what.

  • The Great Canadian Baking Show Season 9 will start on October 5th

  • AI is creeping into the Linux kernel - and official policy is needed ASAP

    Jump

  • Checked who the author was, should have guessed... SJVN. He certainly has a flair for taking something relatively small, that a solution already exists for and suggesting something bureaucratic, unnecessary, and completely outside his technical competence. This is one of those things that the kernel devs can, and will solve when it's a real problem. Random journalists and armchair experts can wait till they're called upon.

  • License for FOSS iOS app

    Jump

  • You're going to have a hard time getting anyone to say in any concrete way that one license or another is compatible because apple has never stated which licenses are compatible or not. they only point at the terms of service and tell you to figure it out yourself and be prepared for apple to remove it at any time if they disagree with you/your lawyer.

    IANAL but in general you can choose a wide variety of permissive licenses like: MIT/ISC Apache 2 or the BSD (2/3) clause licenses

    Copyleft licenses are pretty much incompatible based on most agreed upon terms but maybe you have a fleet of lawyers better than apples that are willing to fight it out :)
