christa pike may have technically survived the execution via injection but she has no chance of surviving without extreme brain damage and should be euthanized for humanitarian reasons.

the private company's service has filled in a gap for some people, but it hasn't replaced the tunnel bus' services, and it's not likely to without the city stepping in. i don't care if it's losing money. raise property taxes and cut salaries at city hall, don't cut services that windsorites want to exist and pay taxes to have exist. get rid of the stupid christmas lights to start, which costs millions of dollars a yer, and provides no services. stop wasting money on rail carts. stop wasting money on skating rinks. etc.
the accounting issue is a triviality. there are dozens of better ways to save money, and dozens of useless things to cut that are legitimate wastes of money, instead of something useful and valuable. the city councl voted in favour of keeping the service.
nobody pays taxes to pay salaries for bureaucrats or to renovate city hall over and over again. those are expenses that should be first on the chopping block, but that mayor dilbert has prioritized for spending.
he cut valuable public transit with city council and community support to pay for christmas lights and renovations at city hall, including a hockey rink. it's immense mismanagement and he should pay for it with his job.
the private operator's hours are too short. the hours for the bus should in truth be 24/7 but should at least be extended back to what they were before the pandemic. the link bus also doesn't operate special events services which the city should step in to take over.

natural gas is not an acceptable form of energy to use in the 21st century.
this company should consequently be boycotted by canadian consumers for it's insistence on using backwards 20th century technologies, and refusing to evolve to modern energy generation technology.

the chatbot doesn't have an opinion of it's own. grok is not superintelligence, it's just a search engine.
what the chatbot will do is search the internet for opinions about the conflict and come up with a data-based empirical aggregate analysis. if you understand what the system does - and neither trump nor msnbc understand what it does - you'll realize it's a reasonable tool to consult. it's basically just asking a giant panel of experts and non-experts to weigh in and then doing statistics on what it finds. it's extremely democratic, as a tool.
it shouldn't have a veto. it can't replace cabinet and it can't replace the president, but it can be used to augment the number of voices the president is hearing when making a decision.
what it does potentially replace, or displace, is polling data, which is in a crisis point. online polling doesn't use sampling. it's useless. i would not just support but highly recommend that more world leaders use ai to ask more questions like this, as it can provide statistics on popular opinion in real time that a polling firm would struggle to assemble.
but it's also critical that world leaders understand that they're not asking a clairvoyant for a fortune reading but are just scraping data off the web and doing a statistical analysis of it.

i would strongly support defunding the lieutenant governor and encourage them to just do it and ignore the court if it tries to stop them. quebec has never supported this document and is not morally bound by it. the supreme court reference case was clear that quebec is only legally bound by canada's constitution to the point that canada can enforce it, which in this case canada cannot do. therefore, quebec is not bound by the canadian constitutional framework in this case at all - not morally, not practically and therefore not legally.
the federal government could threaten to withhold funding in response. that's a dangerous game.
further, the federal government recently infringed on this section of the constitution by giving the governor general political authority over immigration and the issue wasn't even brought up anywhere, except here in this space. nobody noticed or nobody cared. some constitution. the federal government currently has an array of legislation in motion that runs roughshod over constitutional rights for citizens, including labour rights. the constitution is only being used in this country to enforce the rights of the state, of property, and of capital (particularly of foreign capital) and to deny the rights of workers, of the indigenous and of the environment. a constitution exists to hold the government to account on behalf of the people. a constitution that is only enforced in order to advance the power of the state, of capital and of property "rights" is the reality of how canada's legal system works (the same thing has become true about human rights legislation, the residential tenancies act and other legislation at the provincial level, and i am a recent victim of this) but is an invalid constitution and a constitution that should be ignored and/or abolished. the system is broken and should be shattered at it's stress points. i support putting stress on the system in order to shatter it.
we need a revolution in this country to take power out of the hands of the liberal capitalist elite and place it back in the hands of the people. this is a small funding step, but explicitly disobeying the courts is the step that is of value, here. these laws are illegitimate and the courts should be openly disobeyed when they try to enforce them.

this is a pile of steaming bullshit.
virtually nobody in canada will see any material benefits from this project, but the climate effects will lead to continuing negative impacts. a better analysis would conclude that it is in canada's national interest to ensure the pipeline is blocked from being built, and i will stand in solidarity with groups fighting it in court and on the ground to advance their interests and the material environmental interests of canadians.
the project is solely in the interest of foreign investors in colonizing countries like qatar and the uae, who will see 100% of the benefits, after extracting labour and resources from canada and canadians, who will then be left with nothing but pollution to show for it. that's the economic model being used, and it leaves us with nothing.
it is more important now than ever that canadians unite to block this pipeline.

maybe he should get some more foreigners to build more "projects" in canada, seeming as it's working out so amazingly well.*
steel in canada should be nationalized and organized as a crown corporation.
* that's sarcasm, for the slow-witted amongst us.
