Hm, looks like we need Trump to cut off oil exports to the world, one country at a time. Then everybody will move on from oil real quick (to the USA’s detriment).

Going to the courts was the right move, I do think Elections Canada followed their election recount process more or less, but the lower courts rejecting the acknowledge human error as not an “irregularity” is a little bit of a judicial blunder.

Yeah, here’s an opportunity for the Democrats to play “originalist” for once (DHS and subagencies didn’t exist in the time of founding fathers, why do we need it now!?!?), see how Republicans react 🤪.

Transat is a mostly South and East flier from the east half of Canada. So this is pretty big that their southward flights from Canada are going to skip touching the ground anywhere in the USA.

Don’t most laws already allow the responsible minister to permit exemptions or deem acceptance to companies’ compliance?

I don’t think we want to give companies or entities a diplomatic level of immunity from regulations, be they startups, established conglomerates, or individuals. This power should be heavily limited in terms of how many rules that can be exempter for a single entity, accounting for ownership and subsidiaries, and what regulations can be, etc.

But if it does go through, I should try making a business whose proposal has AI every third word, and ask the government to exempt me from the Copyright Act and then start preparing databases (for AI, of course and surely nothing else) of Nintendo and Disney content.

Putin should try flying to Washington if we actually want to see if there’s a double standard under Carney. As much as Israel and Bibi can fuck off, this is not a gotcha as is, because by Carney’s story 2022 was still during the “old world order” while nations still pretended the the US can protect us all.

This is where the CBS staff with any morals need to pick up their stuff and form a Weiss-free broadcasting company called C-ya-BS. Like Sackbird did.

I think this is the real reason we need to bring back the occupation of “Evil Witch”.

If anti-vaxxers aren’t going to listen to scientific reason to get vaccines, then instead we need to hire a witch who casts curses infecting people with measles… and the best way to protect people from the curse is the vaccine, and people extra vulnerable to the curse need everyone around them to be vaccinated.

Since the metric is alignment with the USA’s UN votes, I think it’s just that the USA is taking more abjectly insane positions. Even if a new president is more “normal” and the votes become reasonable again, I think the shift away from the USA in other measures will stay as is or continue.

Fucking finally. It should have been obvious that people waving flags, holding signs silently are not terrorist sympathizers and a little paint doesn’t make a group a constant terroristic threat needing to be monitored.

They lied to intimidate and put these people in jail, yet again. At some point we need consequences for the DoJ’s reckless behaviour.

Despite Trump (or put any MAGA stooge here) asserting otherwise…

should always be replaced with

Despite Trump lying about it as usual…

Whatabout the Dow Jones being 50K?

That sounds like a fine state of affairs. Ms. Crispy Gnome can do spew bullshit lies for free if she wants to continue doing that.

The lesson for driving growth in 2026? Say “Fuck the customer” and line go up.

We should call our variant the Saab ‘Aero’.

Sue and demand Kristi Noem’s firing for misconduct for intentionally lying about this case.

Ah, that’s what the ‘left’ needs… stupid baloney graphs with ominous colours to get people’s attention and believe they’re legit. We should link the real ties between entities like Musk, MAGA, neo-Nazis and AfD.

Hey, it’s the good ol Mid-week frog.

People here on Lemmy were totally expecting some sort of partial clawback from the backlash…

That AI detection is not great sounding though. Is the interaction behaviour analysis going to include trying to guess my age from selfies I’ve sent to my closest friend(s)? That would be very worrying.
