Thanks for the important distinction. If forced politically to choose between the crown and republicanism these communities are consistently choosing the crown, is all I mean.

Right. That's the issue. Many quebec Cree and Innu nations fear what will happen to their languages under a Quebec Republic. This isnt just me talking . https://maisonneuve.org/article/divisive-language
I am open to an honest conversation about this if you are open to more than swearing. Its a legitmate issue to many.

Active Matter developers put up an incredibly distasteful AI notice on Steam
“In other words, we think AI should be voiced by AI - not to offend AI. This feels especially important nowadays, with AGI almost here. That’s all we can say, unpacking the whole AI cultural narrative isn’t really our place.”
Not only is their joke lame and distasteful the studio is also revealing they have no idea what they are talking about. No, AGI is not almost here. This is a bigger joke than their stupid post.

Alberta First Nation invokes treaty clause to set up gender-affirming care safe haven | Globalnews.ca
Hell yeah! Turns out the most staunch defenders of canadian rule of law, democracy, and sovereignty are the very people that signed hard earned agreements with a parochial Britain to protect exactly this. Canada advances democracy through our relationship with our indigenous, should we continue to embrace democracy.

You are also stealing their voice. There are tens of thousands of indigenous who do identify as Canadian and you are not allowing any of that.
Navigating legal systems is what we all have to do. I would argue the crime of neoliberalism is just as damning to the human journey and all souls are forced to navigate this too. The only way to fight colonialism and neoliberalism is through realism.
Also, many chiefs openly argue they willing decided to side with the crown to get recognized as sovereigns because they seen the long term value. You are stealing their voice too and infantalizing them.
Edit: to underscore the irony and realism: First Nations in Quebec and Alberta have made the case that their status and relationship with the crown protects them from republican separatism as Quebec and Alberta offer little assurances they would recognize their sovereignty.

The Americans are very serious about annexing Canada
Reply in thread
Yupp..
Act 1 US war of independence founded modern Canada because a) the quebecois ever fearful of cultural erasure, ever relevant today given those US demands, b) those not in favour of a racist dictatorship (yes the anglosphere was turning their backs on a monster they helped create), my family moved to loyalist country, fitting, and c) Britain's desire to legitimize presence by recognizing first nations,... founded canada. The US invaded thinking we would join but Quebec and the indigenous wanted nothing to do with that genocidal regime. An asymetrical response ended American interests.
Act 2 The war of 1812, the US claims they kinda won because they genocided the Iroquois nation and paved a way for continental-scale genocide .. but another goal was conquest of Canada. A goal they failed on every county..britain, its loyalists, and later founders of Canada fought back and said fuck you. Canada 100% repelled the US invasion using asymmetrical warfare.
Act 3 Fuck around and find out.

You completely ignored every point i raised, instead choosing to swear emotionally. This isnt really turning into a very constructive conversation.

First Nations are amongst the most pro crown, pro-supreme court of Canada, pro-court groups in Canada because they have relentlessly pursued justice through court cases and have slowly established a strong predicent.
98% of First Nations voted to stay in Canada during Quebecs last referendum and the Albertan chiefs have flat out rejected leaving their relationship with the crown behind.
You are right the past is riddled with genocide and violence but Canada and its relationship as well as constitutional status of first nations has grown tremendously.

AI researchers 'earnestly believe' it could kill all humans within the next decade, Anthropic employee says (CBC)
Anthropic researchers are saying this because they are bleeding money and desperately need the hype to keep going. Value gained vs. Costs for tokens is simply unsustainable, and increasing evidence of model degradation. Add to that an obsession with synthetic data, and we are in a bit of a peak / bubble.

Palworld lead worries Steam early access has "lost its meaning": players treat it like "a normal game" and the program has been "abused for a lot of reasons"
Its partly why for our indie title hermertia wars we are making playtests free and ubiquitous on our steam page instead of launching as early access ;)

What will Trump's retaliatory tariffs do to Canada's economy big picture? Not that much, economists predict
Reply in thread
Overly restrictive? I dunno. Ma and pa shops on every block with a wide selection at prices and quality I could only dream of when I was buying from "my guy", meanwhile the rest of the world treats it like the devil's lettuce. Maybe your province did it poorly. Some did it not bad.

EU and Canada plan deeper partnership on trade, security and defence
I for one appreciate the outright admission the goal is as much integration as possible, except full membership as that would not work well for Canada's context and would accelerate western anxiety. Heavy trade and military partners on the other hand? Sounds good!

Yes this. Trump was happy to rename Ontario, the name the lake has held for centuries, even before Europeans arrived. There is a reason Canadas First Nations are deeply pro crown, republican Quebec or Alberta would follow America in replacing all things indigenous with their white alternatives.

Manitoba Labour Board orders striking Dynacare workers back to work
Reply in thread
I half hear you. The issue is the labour board called for the service to be reviewed to see if it is essential, because:
Dynacare workers perform about 40 per cent of all lab testing in Manitoba, including about half of phlebotomies (blood drawing for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes) and two-thirds of cytologies (microscopic examinations for diagnostic purposes), LaBossiere told the hearing.
I think there are times when the Labour Board should be attacked and ignored when it sides with corporations (most times really), but if Manitoba crirical healthcare falls its a real issue too. As the article points out, the real issue is the provinces depends so heavily on an American firm. That needs to be rectified.
