woah, you didn’t mention it was authentic ;P

“I was just following orders” wasn’t acceptable, and “The decision was made by ‘the AI’ [that I paid to train, use, and manage]” won’t be acceptable either ✊

But underlying all of that is societal failures, not some inherent flaws of those people’s racial identity.

Well said! Indeed, the commenter in question is straying from the subject of OP

We can address overrepresentation of Black and Indigenous people in our criminal justice system by tackling racism and colonialism in the people and processes of our criminal justice system and ensuring Black and Indigenous voices are represented in those departments

We can reduce Indigenous People’s (or any community’s) reasons for turning to crime by reducing the social deprivation they face (which our government - like yours most likely - has intentionally engineered for over a century). For example, there should be clean drinking water on reserves, access to higher education, etc.

It doesn’t matter what colour your skin is, we all want an opportunity to succeed and have a good life as we define it; and we all get discouraged when that’s not available

wouldn’t [the threat of institutionalized racism leading to worse accommodations] give an extra incentive to staying out of prison?

I hope others are able to offer more compassion to you than you’ve been able to offer to a very important and marginalized group

Doesn’t this also show that black and indigenous populations despite being a smaller group of the general population are over represented in jail to begin with?

No (strictly referring to the figure), although there are plenty of data that bear out racist and colonialist injustices in arrests and incarceration rates across Canada like that which you mentioned, this figure only shows % population incarcerated and the breakdown of security levels of those incarcerated. To measure overall overrepresentation, we’d want to compare [proportion of population that’s Indigenous] divided by [proportion of incarcerated population that’s Indigenous] and compare those stats with similar ones for Black, White, etc.

High of 37 for me in Ontario today. I saw a squirrel fully splayed out like a pancake on a brick in the shade, no doubt trying to cool itself off. Never seen that before. I saw a stat that only 25% of news articles on the recent heatwave in the UK mentioned climate change. This article doesn’t mention climate change. These omissions matter to a lot of people’s understanding of what’s going on, and are good for continuing to support fossil fuel investments. The following doesn’t address billionaire control of news and social media, but it was nice to see France pass a fossil fuel advertising ban recently

“Fuck Trudeau” is a decent example of ‘uncritical criticism’. With Carney further right than Harper, what more up their sleeves do Conservative politicians and fans actually have than fringe-ish social conservativism and uncritical criticism of Carney?

Your disinformation on this instance under the 6 or so usernames you frequently use and farm votes with is so tiresome. If you think the Breach is “anti-Canadian,” then your notion of what Canadian means is really warped

They’d probably Mitch McConnell aka Weekend at Bernie’s him

“Elbows up,” alright. To the rich paying their fair share, the environment, public services, pharmacare, (edit: digital privacy,) …

Is nothing sacred in Canada any more? ;P

Canada received a “D” on the World Animal Protection Index for allowing practices […] that are banned in some comparable jurisdictions, including some U.S. states.

Although polls show Canadians strongly support protections for farmed animals, the issue attracts almost no mainstream media attention.

Industry executives and their allies in the Ford government want to make sure there’s no such disturbing videos disseminated in the future, so they’re clamping down hard — not on potential abusers but on those brave enough to try to capture the abuse on film.

The police maintain two media lists. One for “local” media, and another for “national.” Last month, as the city faced a staggering tragedy with five dead bodies discovered in quick succession, those on the local list received invitations to briefings, events with the families, relevant information essential to adequately cover the ongoing search and identification efforts.

At the exact same time as these critical emails were being sent, those on the “national” media list received an invitation to a flag-raising ceremony and other self-congratulatory bafflegab. The national list, in other words, only receives updates about stories the police want journalists to cover.

Jon is not alone. We know that local, Indigenous journalists with a national newspaper and a national broadcaster have also been segregated onto what can only be described as a decoy media list. Jon is not Indigenous, but his beat is covering Northern Ontario Indigenous issues. The affected reporters that we know of represent the majority of the journalists in the region who a) cover Indigenous stories and b) have the capacity and editorial latitude to do deep investigative work that does not rely on police press releases.

The law allows people living in other countries who can trace their lineage from Canadian ancestors to qualify for Canadian citizenship even if their Canadian ancestor left Canada several generations back.

Prior to Bill C-3, Canadian citizenship by descent was limited to the first generation born or adopted outside Canada to a Canadian citizen. However, that limitation was struck down by the courts as unconstitutional.

Says he was

“In one of the prison boats, 35 people suffered fractures to their ribs. People said there was at least 12 sexual assaults that took place. People were tased."

Adorable pic! You’re one of my favourite posters! <3

That is a huge @#$%ing ship

“More money for a group of rich tech bros who already have a ton.”

So is ID-gating access to online stuff. If this crap is so toxic, then regulate it. And why don’t we care at all about its effects on people above 16 or 18 years of age?!

But there’s a catch: before the sale goes through, the municipality must “act as an agent” for O’Leary’s company by securing provincial water licences that give the facility access to up to 24 million cubic metres of water annually.

That’s enough water for about 460,000 people over their lifetimes, drawn from a municipality that last year declared an agricultural emergency because of drought.
