He pled guilty, accepted his judgment without argument, and has shown genuine remorse. Is this not the kind of person we want more of here? Yes, he did a horrible thing, but the situation was a result of forces much larger than this one man.

Yes! I hope the best for them!

Thirty per cent of those calls were within five blocks of Prairie Harm Reduction, which offered support services to people living with addictions and operated the city’s only supervised drug consumption site until it closed last month.

So… Mr. Moe, tell me again why we didn’t need those supervised sites? Instead of having dedicated staff on-hand and ready to assist overdoses, we added pressure to an already strained emergency response system? Lovely. Good work there Slow Moe.

Says the weasel who went on Joe Rogan. Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones PP. You have no right to criticize Carney’s social media posts after that.

I’m daft for knowing that CRA and your bank verify identity by both having your social insurance number and CRA uses the bank to authenticate you because they have trouble with ensuring their own authentication is secure? As evidenced by the account issues they had a few years ago?

Sure. Then call me daft.

Like I said before, if someone can come up with a privatized way to vouch for my age (and only my age) without needing to scan and store my ID, verify my SIN, or AI “assess” my face, then great. As of right now, it doesn’t exist and I don’t trust any age restrictions on web access to not lead to such crap as “just upload a photo of your driver’s license, we pinky promise to delete it…eventually…”

The solution CRA and the banks use only works because they both store your SIN and that is their identifier. CRA just trusts that the bank is better at authentication than they are. It’s DEFINITELY not a privatized login system.

That is Identity Verification. CRA confirms a lot more with your bank than just your age.

Which province are you in? I’ve never heard of such a thing in my province?

I live in Canada, so not sure what the USA has to do with my verification capabilities. (This article is also Canadian, so not sure what the US has to do with anything)

But there still needs to be some mechanism for said discovery. If that mechanism is me being subjected to an AI “facial estimate” or uploading my ID, those are big NO’s for me.

If there is a privatized mechanism used simply for “yes this person is an adult” then fine. But as of right now there is no such privatized mechanism in Canada.

Comparing publicly visible actions to private actions on a personal device that are easily hidden aren’t even close to viable analogies.

LOL!

It has been known for a long time that social media is harmful for kids. If parents wouldn’t parent properly for the good of their children before, then a toothless law (there would be no way to know children are using the sites) won’t make them parent now.

How would sites know there are children using the services? How would the authorities know to issue fines? The only way these things happen is with some form of ID system.

But how do you uphold a social media ban based on age without some form of age verification process?

No thank you on submitting my ID just for it to be leaked in some data breach down the line.

Yes, there is a difference, but one leads to the other. How do you think the bans will be enforced?

I voted for Avi and I’m glad he’s sticking to his guns.

Oil and Gas is a sinking ship. Let’s not go down with it.

I would recommend getting them exchanged at a bank for CAD (rather than the airport kiosks), but the banks will exchange any legal tender currency.

Businesses will not accept them directly, you will need to pay Canadian businesses in Canadian dollars.

And yes, as the other commenter mentioned, make sure to declare large quantities at customs. There will be a place on your entry form for large currency amounts.

I’m not against Canada having datacenters for our own data sovereignty. I am against datacenters being built immediately next door to folks with no consultation and stinky back door deals.

Do it above board or not at all.

Bell claims it will use a closed loop cooling system. But I’m still against it. Mainly because I know the guy who lives right next door to where this thing is supposed to be built, and the sale & re-zoning of the land next to him seemed to go through suspiciously quickly and easily. Not to mention he wasn’t informed or consulted about the potential noise from the natural gas generators they will be using before just being informed that “this is happening. Period.”

Something stinks about this.

Filled out. Thank you for sharing.

Why rely on casinos when they already have devices they are addicted to that we can facilitate gambling on. Then they can gamble their lives away without leaving their chairs.

It’s so gross.

Heavy use of sarcasm, unironic use of “you people” when replying to a single person, and turning it all into whataboutism.

Bad faith arguments.

Not worth my time.

Oh, the horror of poorer mental health, increased car accidents and heart attacks…
