Helping constituents navigate federal agencies and processes is a core function of Senator Hassan’s office.

…He’s not a constituent though he’s a greencard holder.

Rage Against the Machine?

Canadians should mail letters, ring them up, fax them if they can, to let them know that any reasonable person would consider this goal post shifting a complete abdication of their responsibilities.

Everyone likes to believe they’re thinking independently.

Can you elaborate on that claim?

I exercise some critical analysis, but for the most part I just have trust in human ambition. For example: the reason I believe human CO2 emissions are driving climate change is not because I’ve looked at the evidence and evaluated it for myself.

The reason I believe that human CO2 emissions are driving climate change is: that seems to be the consensus of people that have worked hard to impartially develop expertise and gather data to understand climate science.

There are two important systems at play

1: Scientific research, which harnesses human ambition by rewarding impartial research and discoveries which overturn old assumptions/paradigms.

2: Journalism, which harnesses human ambition by rewarding impartial reporting on various fields of human interest. (Reporting is why it seems to be the consensus of the scientific community)

The impartiality of these systems is (has always been) under assault by capitalism (which also derives its power by harnessing human ambition) and so one must, to an increasing degree, evaluate the appropriate level of personal mental effort to allocate to identifying biases in the reporting.

Suspend the site’s permit until the organization shows that it takes its obligations seriously.

The violence is shocking and unacceptable. It’s totally possible islamophobia caused the situation to escalate to violence so dramatically. I hope it gets considered at trial.

Maybe beaver teeth go from orange to brown when they die due to further iron oxidation

Facebook sucks and has for quite some time.

In Canada we passed a regulation that social media sites have to pay our media companies to link to their articles. Google is paying up, but Facebook said no, and has banned news. It has made Facebook here much less terrible.

The ‘her’ is the author, the ‘they’ is the activist.

The comment was in relation to the size of the settlement, and the author’s satisfaction with the judgement.

CSE did not say how many Canadians were impacted

Was it all of us, or 5 of us?

I remember learning about the denial of the denial of the anti Muslim comments years ago. It’s offensive that America would send this troglodyte to us.

So if I’m in Vancouver BC it would go from Friday to Saturday in the mid afternoon? Is Friday night the first night of the weekend or the last night of the work week?

They did actually sue someone for the exclusive right to call themselves “crappy tire”:

IIRC someone was hosting a Canadian Tire complaint website “crappytire.com” and in trying to get it shut down Canadian Tire used the legal argument that this person was infringing Canadian Tire’s identity (“We are the legitimate Crappy Tire, and this person is an imposter”) and the domain should be surrendered to them. They won. edit: They lost.

I went to China on a business trip about 10 years ago. I was gobsmacked by how good they are at flattery. I was totally unprepared for it, and they didn’t even want anything from me.

I don’t think anyone can actually do fusion power in the lab either. The only energy positive way to do fusion power is within a nuclear fission explosion isn’t it?

Violence is the only way a dictator will be deposed. History has proven it well.

Is that true? What about South Korea and Taiwan?

I agree about it being baffling to see so many ‘freedom loving Americans’ so blind to the nature of the current administration.

Halberdiers?

He is still an American citizen, I’m curious about what Canadian traitors and patriots will make of that.

When we import food/drug manufacturing equipment we often accept American certifications as compliant with Canadian standards. If a company can say they are compliant FDA or NSF while facing no risk of facing an actual inspection/audit then we may have to exercise more scrutiny ourselves.
