Probably unrelated to geography, but rather sub-national culture(s), provincial/territorial public health initiatives, and provincial discrepancies in health care delivery.
Also odd that OP said QC is projected to have the highest rate, when NS, NL and NU are higher. Or why BC was stated lowest when there is a BIG drop in rates for YT
I’m definitely under 105.
I’m aware of the cognitive dissidence, but I can still believe social media should be banned (or at least banned in most of it’s current forms) while still using it.
I am also reliant on a personal automobile while simultaneously believing people should not have to be reliant on personal automobiles.
The minimum age for social media should be 105…
Change my mind.
Thales: works on AI to optimize the loads and routes of naval supply ships; tackling the travelling salesman problem with extra variables.
Betakit: they’re definitely probably going to make killer robots.
Not forgotten. Intentionality burried. The individuals and unit were not recognized until a ddcade later in 2002.
That said, I can understand the the rationale behind trying to obfuscate it. Explaining why peacekeepers are killing people on the heels of the Somolia affair is a tough go.
[ Principled in our commitment to fundamental values: sovereignty and territorial integrity, the prohibition of the use of force except when consistent with the UN Charter, and respect for human rights
So here’s the thing. The USA has been using the events of 11/09/2001 as a casus belli liberally since the event. International law has still not caught up to this decision, so they continue to work in this neat little grey area.
Is it right? Nope.
Is it bullshit that a security council member changed International Law unilaterally? Yup.
Is it legal? So far, yes.
Just make a new PAL class that let’s you keep this list of weapons. But also requires you to be on the supplementary reserve list.
Supplementary reserve numbers and the gun buyback issues resolved in a single pen stroke.
Pretty big ROI for the people actually.
Proxy war is better than a war on our own soil. While the straight conflict is one part; Russia is also fantastic at information operations, and those are greatly subdued here due to that federations current conflict.
All the donated vehicles are Canadian produced, so we get a subsidy for the vehicle industry (might of heard some issues around that regarding a trade war) and defense industry (a good strategic asset to have).
The Operation Unifier mission training Ukrainian soldiers also allows our soldiers to learn from Ukrainians, keeping them up to date on the latest tactics of the war.
With the current rumblings from another one of our neighbours, Canada has a pretty fucking huge interest in supporting a rule of law, over might makes right, international order.
I’m obviously not suggesting that the transfer system would change in the duration of William Hume’s suffering.
My point is that his suffering could be a symptom of a transfer system issue the requires resolution. By resolving THAT probable issue; we can both ensure Hume’s suffering is not in vien AND reduce future unnecessary suffering, long term effects, and/or death.
To be clear, I am fully supportive of MAID and have a living will of MAID criteria to make decisions easier on my family. My grandfather-in-law didn’t take the MAID route in September, simply because ceasing medication was a quicker option.
I’m also supportive of facilities not providing MAID, but not for uniquely religious reasons. I’m also not opposed to the Québec legislation that requires all palliative facilities to provide it. It can even make it easier for facilities to not provide MAID by just also not providing palliative (though that comes with a transfer requirement for all palliative patients…)
Yeah, in my diagonal read, I don’t think I captured that the facility was refusing MAID solely on religious grounds. That’s not kosher.
I don’t personally think any facility should be forced to provide MAID. Much as no individual staff should be requiredto. Rather the transfer protocols are what could use an update or spotlight.
Why must the patient be transfered with no family; particularly when it was not a time sensitive transfer? Why is the transfer vehcile unable to keep the patient alive for the journey; in this case it was an elective procedure, but that same failing would exist for a non-elective procude the hospital may be unable to treat?
I’m not a medical person, but my systems viewpoint is wondering what patient transfer is so precarious.
I have a core memory from a a course I was doing as COVID lockdowns were kicking off.
Student: “How will I know my employees are working from home?”
Prof: “How do you know they’re working from the office?”
Oh, I’m on board with the concept. Just trying to correct a bit of accidental misinformation on Sweden having no upper limit to day-fines.
I’m pretty sure our military justice system uses a a form of day-fines. So we even have an existing precedent at home!
Swedish day fines have, contrary to its Finnish counterparts, a maximum limit so as not to render too excessive of a fine should the offender have a very large income.
I think there is a balance here. There is risk, so a discussion is required. But, the risk is medium, so a pharmacist can walk you through options.
I think the pool can be quite large. The main issue is that it is almost always more convenient to drive than bike right now.
That isn’t because cars are inherently more convenient, its because we’ve been making them more convenient for a decade. Some examples of this.
Parking: look at the massive land use that we dedicate to storing vehicles, and then give away for free. Obviously it’s not free to whoever builds and maintains them, so that cost is just passed on to everyone to increase the convince of cars.
Traffic lights: cars and trains are the only vehicles that require lighted signals. Everyone else at an intersection gets slowed down so that cars can drive faster in between them. In my city of Kingston, pretty much every major road is 60kph+, but my average driving travel speed is always <35kph. Lights even inconvenience drivers, they’re just trained to accept it as normal, and are rewarded with faster travel between lights.
Lanes: cars get a travel lane everywhere. Pedestrians usually get one. Bikes get fucked.
You can see this in action where cities that increase bicycle infrastructure and make it more convenient, get an increase in mode share.
$5000 for a single electric vehicle is what, 10% or less of purchase price?
$500 for a single electric bike would be 10-50% the purchase price of an electric bike (with $5000 being a high end cargobike).
That’s 10x the number of Canadians that can use the funds.
That lowers the floor for Canadians to access the rebate.
That means taking vehicles off the road and reducing road and health liabilities for Canadian cities and provinces.
It is much easier for a bicycle manufacturer to pop up than an entire electric car chain. (Some of the struggling ones might hope the border to become Canadian made).
Yes, this differs replacing gas cars in more rural areas. But it can take the majority of car trips and eliminate then; rather than just electrify them.
It can also position Canada to be a leader in electric bikes, rather than a subsidiary of foreign car companies.
And if you happen to like chickens it can do stuff like this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/schcw0/diy_smart_chicken_coop_and_inapp_egg_counter/
In essance it lets you put every single smart thing/sensor/connection into a single place for manipulation.
It can be to avoid getting out of the couch to turn on a switch. (In my case pausing music and dimming lights when the TV turns on)
It can also be watering your veggie garden based on a combination of soil moisture and daily forecast.
It can also be having a button linked to your car screen and your watch that opens the garage door; but only if your child isn’t napping in the room directly above the garage, and someone is detected to be at or near home.
It can also be automating your toddler’s evening cool down routine for bed (slowly dimming lights, turning on sound machine, playing lullabies).
It can also play “The Wiggles - Bin Night” at 18h15 the night you need to take out your garbage, then follow up with a voice to text of what bins need to go out.
It can also be a morning automation tool to start the coffee machine and play the news and music.
It can also turn up/down the thermostat when it detects you leaving work, but cross referencing if there is an activity in the calendar with a different location first to analogously estimate if you aren’t coming home. Then start the thermostat after you leave that location with a time lag based on the method of transportation used to get an ETA (did I travel by car, bike, or bus? Determine then get an ETA)
I would love to have better control over my perception of time.
Can you suggest any resources?
