Maybe? That’s a level of policy scope discussion that I don’t have enough context to have a relevant opinion.

Then you should ask […] what lives they have lived to be opposed to the removal of the program instead of ignorantly using subjective evidence to justify the programs removal.

I don’t need to ask because this one I can infer by myself 🤷🏽 there’s an assumption that these programs are in fact bringing significant results in “preventing addiction, gang violence, and sex crimes against children” when in truth, the evidence for these benefits is also subjective evidence ignorantly waved around.

If you’re able to connect the dots, the question I’m asking is exactly that. What kind of lives leads someone to believe on these alleged benefits. The other kind of life, the life that leads someone to not blindly believe that polices on schools is a good thing, I already know, I lived it myself.

Yes I also read the article

Bizarre. So most of the dispute was over police presence inside schools. I don’t know what kind of life these parents who want police inside schools lived as kids, but almost all of my friends who had any sort of interaction with this kind of program say they got more trauma than any kind of meaningful assistance.

This is how you get kids to grow up thinking that addiction is a moral failure. How about we bring a priest into the mix too?

Fucking hell, I’m not excited for the the surprise front row seat for 21st century imperialism

Eh, I can’t help but be a little bit hopeful, but remember that whenever the Liberals pick their new leader, “Fuck Trudeau” will be updated into “This person is just Trudeau again but worse”. It’s just that this is not very effective until the actual person is chosen.

But as always, what we need to do doesn’t change. Get out and vote. Convince reasonable people to vote.

Very true, important correction!

Therapy has always been legalized, but the folks who need help the most will often not dare ask for it

And yet, it’s not enough

I know people should know better but there should be a rule (or a bot that enforces this) about adding [SATIRE] before these kinds of posts

the loss of the paper audit trail would be catastrophic for verification

Which is why researchers of electronic voting defend the use of Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT).

But anyway, “this isn’t a discussion” is consistent with statements like “there is absolutely zero reason to expose voting systems to a digital threat vector” so I guess there are things we seem to agree on.

Trust the engineers.in the actual software domain then

Yes, which I am. Though who I’d trust the most here are the cryptography researchers that dedicate their life to researching electronic voting systems.

As an engineer, you should know that no system is perfect and there are several trade-offs and threat models to consider. And electronic voting can’t be discussed in a vacuum, but measured against existing voting systems which are also full of their own kinds of issues and risks.

Now that the day is past, today I saw in the news what each candidate was doing yesterday. What’s the story behind Á’a:líya Warbus being a Conservative candidate in Chilliwack?

I’m not surprised to occasionally see LGBTQ+ folks joining hands with conservatives because there’s one thing that usually threads the needle there: class warfare. I can also understand the poor working class that votes conservative: rugged individualism and “traditional values”. But I still can’t understand indigenous voters going conservative… Rustad is clearly an enemy!? 🤷‍♂️

Its factually true from my perspective.

That’s an interesting sentence

Canada needs more people. It also needs more infrastructure.

Unfortunately Canada is doing a good job tackling #1, but a bad job tackling #2 because the financials work out to be just fine to do so.

I could not stand living in a small NA city lol, it’s Vancouver, Toronto, Monteral or leaving the Americas altogether
