This article title is fine in my opinion as it mostly covers the disagreement between two bodies as you said, but before that one I saw at least 2-3 articles this week that were just "WHO says aspartame causes cancer". That's

I don't think this is "getting frustrated with science" as much as "getting frustrated with the reporting on science". I don't think people are arguing that doing aspartame research is pointless so much as they

Wow that's naïve (or sarcasm). I did an internship with ElementAI a while back. They had a full lobbying division to "come up with a legislative framework with the government for ethical AI". This is quite literally just a bu

Apologies, I thought your original comment was referring to the housing market, not to curbing inflation in general.

> policies to limit severe price increases What does that even mean? In Canada the issue is that most places have 10 houses for 20 buyers to it ends up being a game of who can pay more as it should be. Restricting price increases just me

I don't want to delve into politics, but I would not call the BoC unaccountable. Their goal is to juggle employment and inflation by setting the interest rates. Inflation is/was high and unemployment was low, that calls for increa

There's a debate to be had on that for sure. I'm not for prohibition, I voted to legalize cannabis (even though I don't consume it) because it didn't seem much worse than alcohol and realistically once 50%+ of you popula

You sometime see it as "red teaming" or "red team'ed" which might be more grammatically correct? Regardless, "to red team something" really is a common saying in the security industry. It's the corpo&

I feel like you are taking the worst possible interpretation of the parent comment. No the airline/FAA won't steal your stuff, that's not the concern. The problem is whatever you leave on the plane will remain there until the

I don't know about heavy but CBC is definitely left-leaning. I feel like that should be curbed with some watchdog for media impartiality (not sure how it could be implemented?) instead of doing away with it entirely. The reality is (at

Is this considered new? In Canada I had an app on my phone for 100 days which tracked accelerations/break/speed. Sure it felt intrusive-ish, but the program was not mandatory so seems like a win-win. I got a 22% discount (got 96&#
