  • In the Pays d'en Haut Anglo settlers were moving in, French forts were rapidly expanding and militarizing, and both colonial powers were jockeying for Indigenous allies and exclusive trade partners. And in Acadia the oaths issue was still unresolved and considerable swaths of the country that France 'ceded' to Britain was under the control of the French-allied Wabanaki.

    Another war was inevitable, Washington just lit the powderkeg.

  • Finally! All of this could have been avoided if when it gave its remedy, the court actually cared to assess if PCEPA was an acceptable replacement to what was struck down in Bedford. Like the court said "you have six months to pass new legislation", the Harper government just reintroduced the restrictions that the court struck down, and then the court went "ehh we can just look at it in a decade or so once it bubbles up from the lower courts"

  • There's plenty of stuff where ML algorithms the state of the art. For example the raw data from nanopore DNA sequencing machines is extremely noisy and ML algorithms clean it up with much less error than the Markov chains used in years previous.

  • how dare the government need to go through parliament before signing away our dairy industry. won't someone think of the poor american multinationals.

    typical fraser institute free market wanking. something something invisible hand

  • Funnily enough in Canada we have mars bars instead of the US milky way and 3 musketeers instead of the international milky way. Mars doesn't sell anything called a milky way here

  • There's the peritoneum which lines the abdominal cavity.

    It's got a bunch of blood vessels to exchange chemicals so it's common to do kidney dialysis right into the abdominal cavity instead of the blood directly. Unlike hemodialysis, the machines can be taken home and operated by the patient.

    And in vaginoplasties when they don't have enough tissue to do just a penile inversion, they can now pull through the peritoneum to help construct the vaginal canal instead of doing a colon graft.

  • I do agree that red scare rhetoric is increasing but buy in large it's directed at China and Xi. Anti-communist tropes do show up in popular discourse on Russia but in my experience it's less so in discussions on influence campaigns but in talk of Russia's territorial ambitions (understandable considering the place of Soviet symbolism in Russian nationalism and war propaganda).
