  • Autopsy of Canadian in ICE custody indicates his death was preventable, experts say

    Jump

  • I mean yeah, fuck those assholes, but that doesn't mean I want them to be dragged from those summer homes and thrown into internment camps. I'm surprised that this is a controversial thing to say.

  • Yes, exactly, the fascists are the ones perpetrating the crimes against humanity that I am saying I do not wish to be happening to anyone, regardless of who they voted for

  • None of that makes it OK for people to be subjected to torture, arbitrary imprisonment, beatings, death.

    If this changes some people's minds? Great, yeah I should fucking hope so, but I am gonna go out on a limb and state that I am not pro-crimes-against-humanity no matter who the target is

  • Like I swear to fucking god, we are now at the point where there is absolutely no question that these are concentration camps. Minnesotan families are hiding in the homes of their neighbours in order to not get disappeared. Children are being used as bait. People who simply have skin deemed to be the wrong colour are being beaten to death in custody. Protestors executed on the street. ICE buying more warehouses every day. And we, Canada, have done fuck all. I am so ashamed.

  • The fact that our governments have not banned Canadians and Canadian businesses from contracting with ICE is a stain on our nation. These folks need to be hauled in front of the ICC.

  • Canada discreetly puts money down on 14 additional F-35s

  • "You people"

    Hey look, I never made any claims other than pointing out that you were clearly intentionally being misleading.

    Anyway: would you fly a plane if you could not verify that it was in working order?

  • Canada discreetly puts money down on 14 additional F-35s

    Jump

  • You claim this is a "ground-based system", but that is not true according to this description:

    "the Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS) ... is a router designed to fit inside of an F-35’s travel pod that has the capability to connect to a hardline network or satellite internet, which allows them to transmit the F-35's data simultaneously to many remote bands and regions"

    https://www.dvidshub.net/image/7342014/autonomic-logistics-information-system

    So while the analysis of the data happens on the ground, ALIS is also very much inside the plane and monitors its systems in real-time:

    "ALIS receives Health Reporting Codes while the F-35 is still in flight"

    https://www.lockheedmartin.com/content/dam/lockheed-martin/rms/documents/alis/CS00086-55%20(ALIS%20Product%20Card).pdf

    Yet you claim "all it does is track parts orders."

    Care to explain why you have omitted these basic facts while defending Canada's purchase of the F-35s?

  • If you sub out the part you object to with an exact quote of your post

    "There is absolutely zero practical way to hide a killswitch in the F-35"

    their comment still makes sense, particularly because they specify firmware and silicon.

  • The numbers don’t lie: The housing crisis is not caused by a supply shortage

    Jump

  • My instinct is to yell at you but I'm gonna ask a question instead:

    have you considered that your family would also benefit, along with everyone else, from not having to worry about being able to afford housing?

  • Any guesses as to why Ontario and Quebec hold more than half the electoral districts?

  • The numbers don’t lie: The housing crisis is not caused by a supply shortage

    Jump

  • Sounds like remote work would help, then. Unfortunately most Canadian employers and governments are forcing return-to-office.

  • A lot of that "equity" is really capital gains since housing prices have gone up like mad over the last decade.

    The magic wand is public, non-market housing and we should not accept homelessness and child poverty as the collateral damage of a system that property owners have benefitted from.

    Adopting a defeatist attitude is the same as saying that we want people to die on our streets.

    I say this as a homeowner: I will vote for affordable housing.

  • Ontario government recycles oil sands propaganda for Ring of Fire mining development

    Jump

  • Sure. And I'd be much more inclined to take this view if the same provincial and federal governments pushing for development in the ring of fire weren't also so loudly gung ho on pushing through new and expanded fossil fuel infrastructure, spending billions on nuclear facilities that will take a decade-plus to build, and massive energy-intensive AI compute infrastructure that also demands a huge amount of those same critical minerals.

  • Ontario government recycles oil sands propaganda for Ring of Fire mining development

    Jump

  • OK so I was right that you did miss my point.

    What I was saying is that it is not a binary choice between pushing damaging projects here or accepting damaging projects elsewhere, but instead wherever possible we should be doing what we can to mitigate and limit the environmental and social impacts of extraction, insofar as there are things we need to extract.

    I see no reason why we can't have high standards.

  • Sorry but I don't think you understood my comment correctly. Unless you're saying that no, we have to accept poor labour practices and rampant environmental degradation - which obviously are things antithetical to the happy, healthy, and alive humans you are claiming to advocate for
