Yeah, if I were a doctor in the US, I’d choose a slight, even moderate, pay cut over getting thrown in prison (if lucky, and not just disappeared) for treating patients who need treatment.

Tesla does not have dealerships in the sense of dealerships being middleman franchises that have their own owners. Tesla is direct to consumer, meaning Tesla owns its stores.
I’m not saying this to negate what you said, rather to emphasize that the “suspicious” sales were not the act of some rogue local dealership owners, they are the actions of Tesla itself.
You might possibly be interested in checking out the YouTube channel MyDeepGuide. Guy does in-depth reviews ofbmostly e-ink writing tablets, which perhaps is more functionality than you’re looking for, but some of those manufacturers also do standalone “just” readers. Or maybe you’ll be convinced to get a writing tablet :p
For a serious response to your probably hypothetical question, I would give enough leeway to consider mental illness if the attack was truly random and the victim happened to be a hijabi. Of course, that would have to be substantiated with a medical history and what the (“alleged”) perpetrator said at the time of the attack, as the article is not specific about that.
I also hate attack ads, but… Is it really an attack ad if you simply play the recording of what someone else said without editing it to make it worse (because it’s already sufficient bad in its whole, truthful self)?
I’m saying everyone should have equal freedom to wear the headwear they want to wear or not wear, regardless of whether it’s for fashion, cultural, or religious reasons.
As bad as American prisons are, they are not on the scale as being deported (is that even the right word in this case?) to what amounts to a concentration camp in a foreign country without any process.
The lesson here isn’t “they shouldn’t be able to wear headwear, either”, but “I should be able to wear headwear, too”.
Yikes, I’m wondering how many people looked at and approved the ad through its different stages. This is an example why you need to get fresh eyes on things before publishing, people who are too close to a project have a skewed perspective.
This is just one example of why Canada should not cozy up to China, as some have suggested in recent weeks. China is not an ally to Canada, to freedom, to democracy, or to human righta. We should never forget that their government held Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig hostage. That’s just what they’ve done to specific Canadians, they’ve done much worse to other people groups (Tibetans, Uighur) and their own citizens. As far as feasible, we should be avoiding China the way we are avoiding the USA. China is more enemy than friend.
This is insanity. I’m glad she’s safe here in Canada and will be granted status to stay and complete her PhD that she’s almost done. It sounds like Srinivasan is the kind of person we want to welcome here: intelligent, hard working, slides with justice.
I hope Canada will continue to be a safe place for people who work hard for a better life not just for themselves, but others also.
Personally, I’m not sure we can assume there will be an election in four years. Or if there is one, that it won’t be an “election”, like in Russia.
(Likewise, if the US ever did take over Canada by force, I’m sure we would be a territory like Puerto Rico and not have a vote.)
Wow, the Russian (probably) movement went hard on that one.
My respect to you for going back and checking it out.
Honestly, I’m not surprised. Was their main target in-store shoppers? Their location is too far for, I suspect, most people when a L&M (or even other small, independent stores) is much closer.
This is the first I’ve heard of it. Can you share your source, please? I want to see it myself whether it’s reputable before I form an opinion.
Zarqa, the funniest thing I’ve ever watched. A spiteful, middle-aged, Pakistani Muslim divorcee in Regina tries to manage/rehab her reputation and ego… With disastrously hilarious results. It’s a short mini-series that can be watched in about two hours.
I just stumbled upon Gangnam Project. It’s about two biracial Korean-Canadian teens who go to S. Korea to connect with their roots and get all caught up in the K-Pop making machine. It’s meant for the tween market, but it’s just so different than anything I’ve seen (maybe I haven’t seen much) that I find it interesting. Plus who doesn’t live an eternally optimistic lead when the real world is crazy times? Obviously it’s dramatized, but I am kind of peripherally aware that idol-culture is a very serious deal in Asia, esp Korea. (Last year some K-Pop star publicly apologized for having a boyfriend?!) I wonder how much of it is based in reality and how much is just made up.
DEI can still be achieved without using that terminology directly.
I agree that not longer having a policy or metrics around diversity doesn’t mean that the people in a company won’t still value it. I’m a part-time student and the school’s director recently did an AMA. He said an upcoming event was renamed to avoid the threats that are being directed at “DEI”, but the event itself is still about cultural diversity. I forget what the new name was, something about the stories of our people or something like that.
If this doesn’t work for someone, there’s also Red Cross. They have volunteers teams that help people even with small scale disasters like someone’s home burned down. It’s not a big disaster, but for a family that’s perhaps lost everything, having someone to sit with them, give them blankets and maybe some food is a help.

I absolutely agree that Internet should be a nationalized service, with the option of private players. Saskatchewan has (for cellphones) Sasktel by the government, and all prices are lower even from the for profit companies. We should have crown corps + private enterprise for everything that is an essential service. Mail has Canada Post + private couriers.
The nationwide Rogers outage… When was that, a year ago? Put all kinds of businesses, banking, local payment systems, etc. on hold. How is it acceptable to the nation that essential infrastructure is entirely private?
The kinds of things you tell children as advice or to encourage them are directly opposed to Poilievre’s messaging. Let’s think about the usual type of things:
Stay in school; conservatives are anti-education
Be kind; his strategy is anger and division
Stay safe; tough on crime, because it is out of control (and its Trudeau’s fault)
You can do anything; (you can’t do anything because) Canada is broken
CPC values are literally inappropriate for children.
