I understand the author's conserns but I wonder of his standard of "true" is a bit unrealistic. Maybe the standard should be "less false than the average human produced work." Yes a human expert who is devoted to

you're right, my statement is an extreme oversimplification and there are situations where the constitution does apply to noncitizens (like due process during deportation) or places where things are unclear (if speech of foreign nation

That's true and that's actually something the courts consider. The standard is unreasonable burden. So it's not necessarily anything that makes speech harder, but if it does make speech unreasonably burdensome then it woul

> after certain kinds of talks became popular congress would tell them that they are no longer allowed to let Americans in, I think if that were the situation then yes the first amendment would be in issue. But I don't think anyone

I think what you raise is something the courts should consider if the government were trying to shut down a platform because of what it's users were doing on it. But it's not a live issue in this case. There is no allegation tha

I don't know if it's a free speech issue but legally speaking it's definitely not a first amendment issue because the law targets foreign corporations and the Constitution doesn't apply to foreign entities

Half the people in Vancouver are thinking about leaving and 25% want to leave within the next 5 years. People are leaving in droves largely because of costs. That seems to make the parents point - that the ecnomic benefits from immigration

I donno if it entirely wrong to blame foreigners. If you have a bunch of silicon valley digital nomads flying to Spain and buing and selling houses to each other I can see how that could easily leave locals out of the housing market. That

I remember an uproar about building a nuclear reactor here in Canada because of a predicted 27 billion dollar cost. 40 billion euros?! If it's going to be like this then I think net 0 requires a different form of government or for pri

I don't think there's any need to arrest anyone as a show of strength. I don't feel the threat of an actual American invasion and I like living in a free society that doesn't go around arresting people for political sho

Canada has a parliamentary system where the leader of the party with the most votes becomes prime Minister. So Trudeau can step down as leader of his party while remaining Prime Minister. In this case he intends to stay on until his party

This was definitely expected, people within and outside of the party have been calling for Trudeau to resign for a while and that chorus has been getting louder and picking up more prominent figures. I suppose standard procedure in a Westmi

What was a bit disappointing to me is the author decided to gloss over the parts like getting fresh water from a well and having it purified at the temple. That's the parts I wanted more details on - it makes it interesting and more li

In law such words are called terms of art - but most lawyers know them and there's no reason for their use to create incomprehensible documents. It's not like every other word is a term of art. When I was I law school they taugh

probably not going to be a popular take on this forum, but to me it looks like anti trust and securities laws are enforced almost randomly. Is Google a monopoly using its control to limit competition - yes but so is pretty much all of FANG

I mean it's not like developing countries are doing much to steward their best and brightest. Counties with brain drains also have serious issues with nepotism and cronyism limiting the ability of talent to rise up. My parents are fro

I think that's the sane opinion, we haven't reduced emissions, we don't have the ability to reasonably reduce emissions at this time. But we can look at available solutions and make what incremental progress we can and cheer

I think many of the posters defending nepotism are missing a very important issue. Which is that it is bad for diversity and may be a factor limiting the participation of some ethnic groups in academia

This sounds good in theory but as a Canadian I often wonder how much our government's actions are on behalf of us the people as opposed to well financed or politically powerful special interests. It looks to me like many Canadians oth
