It’s hard to take you seriously my friend. To begin with, I don’t think you’ve explored the topic of AI very deeply. For sure the industry and the technology is out over its skis right now, but there is no putting that genie back in the bottle. Your ‘solution’ is naive in the extreme. AI will change society whether we want to ignore it or not. Do you suppose that we could have ignored or reversed the agricultural revolution, or the industrial revolution?

Our effort is better spent growing with it, understanding it, and merging it into our society in a way that respects our values and our goals.

Regarding collective bargaining and environmental policy: We’re in the middle of an historic economic restructuring and he’s going to get some leeway, particularly given his expertise, in how he executes on that. I may not agree with everything he does, but I’m also not naive enough to think that we don’t have to sacrifice in some places.

Bill C9 expressly does not make criticism of Israel, advocacy for Palestinians or peaceful political protest a hate crime. Carney said that specifically, and the government openly recognized Palestinian statehood, and I’m glad they did.

When you misrepresent everything in a hyperbolic way it diminishes your overall credibility, as does connecting your opponent to vile organizations like MAGA without any justification whatsoever. You know nothing about me, but from your comments I have the sense I know just as much as I need to know about you.

That’s what you took from my comment?

If you’re having trouble understanding, you can get help from AI. It’s free.

What is your objective in posting this? What is your specific claim that you are asserting by reference to polls in China (assuming we take them at face value)?

Since your 9 word reply is insufficient to carry any explanatory power, I’ll simply ask a direct question: In your proposal, what happens to democratic institutions?

So Goldstein is saying Lewis should be killed for his moderate opinions on an ongoing tragedy that involves Lewis’ VERY OWN cultural identity?

This is absurd. Nothing will happen here, but it should. This is not how Canada operates, and no one cares what your imaginary friend or bedtime stories tell you.

The fact is that no one is stopping you from moving to where you’re happier.

In the immortal words of Stompin Tom: “If you don’t believe your country should come before yourself, you can better serve your country by living somewhere else.”

And if one is stuck in a country that they don’t like anymore, I would hope they have the dignity and integrity not to vote in elections that they don’t believe in, or involve themselves in politics that they are actively poisoning. I should think the primary goal should be to move to where they fit in.

We already have Islamophobia, Russophobia is justified and deserved, and simply using the word genocide doesn’t clarify whatever broadly disparaging point you’re trying to make.

God forbid there should be some aspirational goals in it. Cementing a partnership should be purely transactional and have neither lofty vision nor unifying affirmations of shared values.

Oooo, you’re like cool and stuff. So cynical.

Hey buddy, a friendly reminder to check your CO monitors regularly. Carbon monoxide is a silent killer.

Greenland is arguably under NATO protection. Cuba is not, and there are in fact many groups of Cubans in the US who support an invasion of Cuba, I’m not going to get involved with that bullshit.

As for Mexico, I’m saddened by the lack of an informal alliance between the two countries. As much as I wish it weren’t so, I’ve not seen any indication from Mexico that they would stand with us. An invasion of Mexico would be an enormous step that would justify ramping up sanctioning behavior, but for me, as a Canadian, the line in the sand should be Greenland. Meaning if Greenland is ever directly attacked, we are in a war stance. We cut off everything to the US, sell all the Tbonds, nationalize all strategic resources (oil, media, telecom, water, hydro, food, potash, critical minerals), seize assists and nationalize all patents. I would recommend we also look for any alliance with China.

THAT’S what I mean by a line in the sand. We cut them off and dig in.

Edit… Hey if you disagree tell me why, stand up for yourself don’t just downvote and move on.
