Honestly if this is what constitutes an international scandal for Canada, as horrible as it appears, I'll take it.

I think that's a great talking point, however I strongly doubt it's true.

I don't have kids so I've got no pony in this race, but I do have a dog. He's not property, I'm not his 'master', but he is 100% my responsibility, which is why I keep him on a leash whenever we leave the house. It's why I spend my time watching him when we're at a dog park instead of sitting on my phone like the other people there.

I think it would depend on what they're trying to charge him with.

Trained models have different licenses based on the data they were trained on. Several released datasets for example acknowledge they were trained on non-public data and therefore outputs from the AI cannot be used for commercial purposes.

Educate yourself.

NGL, this sounds as believable as the STCC's claims.

“It's very, very simple,” he explained. “We want to parent our kids until they're 18 and ready to make decisions by themselves. Whatever decision they make later, that's a decision as an adult."

Ok, that sounds like a reasonable argument.

“Now we're seen as taboo for asking that we have the right to raise our kids. We're seen as taboo, that our kids are being shown gay porn by adult males in skirts.”

Ok nevermind, you're fucking retarded.

“We're making a note of everyone that is saying these defamation comments,” he said. “When you character assassinate somebody and put words [to it], you're pretty liable in a court of law.”

Yes El-Cheikh, I called you fucking retarded. Let's go.

"Oh no, not a jury of my peers! You know, the same peers I shit all over when I was having a temper tantrum because they wanted me to wear a face diaper!"

I know we talk about the lack of mental health care being a huge factor in things like this, gun violence, etc, but what does that even look like? Are these people actively trying to find help and there's a lack of resources?

If we had more resources, do you think people like this would even try to use them?

Honestly it just seems like a bunch of gullible people easily manipulated by what they read online, and I don't know if medical health services will help them one bit. The other thing that get's tossed around is lack of education, but as someone who technically didn't finish high school and only spent a year in college, I feel like I have a much firmer grasp on reality than these clowns that make the news time and time again.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but going to church on Sunday does not make you a christofacist.

That said, rage bait is a bit harsh;

The event happened on the 22nd and I read about it on the 23rd or 24th, and at that time, I also learned about the Deschênes Commission. This is from an article 7 days ago:

The decision to allow about 600 members of the division to live in Canada after the second world war has long been a source of controversy in Canada, and was the subject of a government commission of inquiry in the 1980s into whether Canada had become a haven for war criminals. Members of the division were accused of killing Polish and Jewish civilians. The Nuremberg tribunals found the Waffen-SS guilty as an organisation of war crimes but not the Galicia division.

I'm in no way trying to excuse their actions, or whitewash, or whatever. My argument is the title of the article:

An important question that has been missed. How did a veteran of the SS Galicia division end up in Canada in the first place and he was not prosecuted?

Which is straight up bullshit; the question has been asked since the end of WW2 and has been answered several times.

Right? That was common knowledge weeks ago... another rage-bait article.

There's a difference between scraping news organizations, summarizing it, and then presenting it on your site (which is what Google/Meta do, and what the regulation was meant to make them pay for), and having to pay for user shared content.

Forcing Meta/Google to pay for the first case I don't have an issue with, the second one though seems rather silly.

Everything truly Canadian isn’t really whites-only, Canadian history encompasses multiple skin colours right from the beginning.

Even the early English and French settlers, while predominately white, didn't share much in the way of language or culture.

They also think that's what we eat in place of strip bacon, like on burgers and such.

That's a hot take.

Are we also going to socialize Canada Dry Ginger-ale and Canadian Bacon?

Perhaps, but I can't be outraged by that!

The chart here: https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/CAN/canada/population-growth-rate shows a steady growth rate over the past 70 years. Like you said, that's not a sustainable model for anything, including housing.

People really need to quit with the 'single family home with a white picket fence' bullshit and get more comfortable with medium/high density housing.

It doesn't affect us day-to-day no, but honestly I like being part of a 'Commonwealth'. I like feeling like I have something in common with Australia, or New Zealand, or the UK, even if I've only ever been to the UK for a few hours.

Your family name (for most people, unless you're George Hitler) has no impact on your day-to-day, this to me seems like saying "We should just get rid of family names!"

Saying any migration is going smoothly is like saying the Earth is round. It is, if you look at it from really far away :P
