Slashdot Mirror

The Conservative government is in a very precarious position. The wrong move and the victory they let the Liberals screw up so badly for is gone.

Here's how I, an American would-be Canadian and regular CBC Radio One listener sees it:

You are right, Harper was in a precarious position to start. The only reason the Tories came to power was the sponsorship scandal. Now, he has made his "settlement" of the softwood lumber dispute with the U.S. a confidence issue. If enough MPs realize that Harbush folded a winning hand against the U.S. ("Bushie, you're doin' a heckuva job, and you only hafta give back 1/3 of what you stole, eh?"), his government could very easily fall. Plus, the Canadian involvement in Afganistan is unpopular. For these and other reasons, he's on very thin ice (pun intended) and the Liberals and NDP are looking for the first opportunity to take him down. Anyone who doubts this needs only realize that his campaign-promised revisit of gay marriage is now off the table.

Actually, no, neither side of a conflict is a neutral party.

Americans believe they lost the war in Vietnam, while the actual numbers indicated to the generals in charge that they were winning.

Its not like the leader of the other side admits he miscalculated or anything.

"Child porn I can understand, that's illegal. But hate propaganda is protected speech."
Now he looked up. "What country do you think you're in?"
"Oh, it's illegal in Canada?"
"I honestly don't know. But that doesn't matter. I get to decide what goes in this country. Do you have a problem with that?"
I paused for a long time while I thought about what I should say to this. "Yes."
"Yes, you do have a problem?"
"Yes, I do. If it's illegal in Canada I'll understand, but saying 'I don't want it in my country' isn't good enough when you're a government official."

Two points about this.

First, just FYI, hate propaganda is not "protected speech" in Canada. Indeed, the concept of "protected speech" is not part of Canadian constitutional or rights laws; "protected speech" is a concept that comes from American court cases related to free speech laws and the First Amendment. In Canada, there is a Charter of Rights and Freedoms that protects one's "freedom of expression", but that same document also protects people from discrimination based on race, gender, religion, etc. Generally, freedom of expression is protected in Canada only within such reasonable limits as can be justified in a free and democratic society. Within this framework, the Canadian Criminal Code has laws against "hate" crimes -- primarily in cases where one's activities can be described as an "incitement to violence". In Canadian law, therefore, the individual right to free expression does not trump the group right of protection from hate speech. Both are present and both may apply to the same speech at the same time, so the question of whether "hate speech" is illegal or not depends upon the specific circumstances of the communication and on a localized intrepretation of events connected to the use of those words.

Second, if I'm not mistaken, border guards from both Canada and the U.S. are indeed empowered to make decisions on the spot about what or who can come into either country. There is little difference between Canada and the U.S. about this. In both cases, customs officials are given sweeping powers that allow them to make choices without having to justify those choices to a court. There is a long history of abuse of this power on both sides of the border that has led to the improper seizure of literature associated with radical, leftist, or communist causes (as well as fascist hate propaganda) and of pornographic material associated with gay, lesbian, or BSMD lifestyles (as well as child porn or other clearly objectionable materials). Lots of brown-skinned muslims travelling these days will be quick to confirm from experience that when you are at the border, you really don't have any rights at all, and you have very little recourse if you are mistreated. It's only people who have never run into problems at the border who live under the illusion that their "rights" are robust and in full force at the border. This does not mean one should not object to mistreatment, but border guards really are empowered to make decisions about what comes into your country, and if you are going to dispute their choices, you had better be ready for a long, miserable experience...and you had better be sure that you know the law of the particular country you intend to object to!

Dolphins are also compassionate towards humans. There are many records throughout history of dolphins saving a drowning human. Dolphins have never killed a human being, at most giving warning bites and even then only about once a decade the past few decades. They will attack sharks however, rather brutally, so in no way can a dolphin be considered peaceful.

I think that we should return the favor and treat dolphins with the same compassion that they treat us.

Heir Of The Mess: Why do highly instinctive creatures need memory to survive?

Because environmental conditions that are unique to each generation of animal cannot be solved by instinct.

Heir Of The Mess: Ants probably don't have much memory, but their programming enables them to function effectively, as well as enabling the group to act as a whole.

Ants need good memory to find their way back home from food. No, not all ants simply follow a chemical trail.

"Biologist Thomas Collett of the University of Sussex in England and his colleagues trained wood ants to walk along a wall to test if the insects also use visual clues.

"Like honeybees, ants stick to familiar routes but are flexible in choosing between routes.

"When ants were placed in a Y-shaped maze with a walls on each side, unfed ants also learned to choose the food path."

And if you RMFP (read my F-ing post)...

Um, I did. That's why I titled my post "Not only that..." You made very good points. I wasn't arguing with you. Just adding some thoughts your points triggered.

Designing drugs that have those properties involves a lot more design than luck.

Eh...I'm going to disagree with you very slightly here. I know people in rational drug design and QSAR, and I'm well aware remarkable strides have been made in the last few decades. But, as you point out yourself, the complexity of the human biochemical system is so awesome that my impression is that producing a truly winning drug still involves at least a 50/50 mix of cleverness and luck (or, equivalently, a 50/50 mix of design and trial-and-error). A bit of evidence would be Vioxx (ouch!), or the fact that people are still discovering interesting and possibly useful side-effects of aspirin, despite its structure being known for a century, and its principal biochemical effect well-studied.

As an aside, I'd say the truly exciting development is the possibility of understanding on an individual basis the effects and side-effects of drugs, by doing appropriate genetic tests on individuals. Just for example, someone I know just had to cope with breast cancer, and took advantage of the amazing fact that these days you can test the particular genetic sequence of an individual breast cancer and reliably predict who needs chemo and who doesn't. That is a wonderful development, considering how brutal chemo is.

I can easily foresee a future where physicians prescribe the type and dose of medicines based on their likely benefit to each individual patient, based on their particular genome, with substantially improved health care outcomes. Plus fewer misfires with new drugs going all the way to human trials and then flopping: we'd be able to characterize the individual genetic traits of the participants. Surely it's likely that some patients benefit from any Phase III trial drug -- all we need is to learn to sort out who they are. Then, a drug need not be safe and effective for everyone to make it to market -- it need only be safe and effective for someone. That will probably give people many more options for effective treatment.

We may even be able to know whether certain habits are bad for you, or harmless, based on one's individual nature. Pretty cool.

In Canada guidelines regarding drinking water safety are set at the national level, but the provinces are responsible for making sure the rules are followed and can set whatever rules they want. But each city actually sets up, pays for, and runs their own water system. The federal government is directly responsible for water quality on native reserves, cruise ships, and other common carriers.

There was a famous case recently where an incompetent person handling a small communities water supply actually caused a few deaths. An in depth article about the Walkerton case.

I think that this is the best news this year. This means that the wiretaping *should* stop, and if it doesnt, who ever is doing it, will be breaking the Law

This has clearly been against the constitution since it began, and since it was not appoved by congress, shoudl never have been done. Does anyone know of a amendment to the constitution giving the president the right to disregard the consitution? If this continues, and bush still knows about it, then it is definatly reason enought to impeach him, if there has been enought so far.

The drug companies need to recover enough money to support all their research -- including trials of the many compounds that just don't work out. And they also need to self-insure against liability should one of their products kill or maim a bunch of folks even after all the testing.

Drug companies need to recover enough money to support all of their marketing. Research budgets at drug majors are always considerably smaller than marketing budgets.

That seems like a great idea, but why give them three chances? Three's enough that they can fuck up a few times and not really care. Two might scare 'em a little more. But then, it doesn't matter because there's no way in hell that Congress would pass any of this. They would fight it nail and tooth.

CBC radio's Quirks and Quarks program had a story on November 19, 2005 on the subject of human exploration vs. robotic probes. It's available at http://www.cbc.ca/quirks/archives/05-06/nov19.html with links to OGG Vorbis and MP3 files of the show. Van Allen was interviewed among others.

Of particular note, the Bush administration's plan to send astronauts back to the moon, the de-maintaining of Hubble, and the cost of a Mars mission (one manned trip to the moon to look at rocks = 700 mars explorer missions). While the show itself takes a non-editorial stance and finds interviewees on both side of the debate, one can clearly see that Van Allen is no looney, a bright mind even in his 90's.

One can quickly make the analogies that:

• Looking Glass : Galileo :: Hubble Space Telescope : 21st century scientists
• House arrest : Catholic Church :: Fund diversion : evangelical Bush administration
• Remote sensing probes & space telescope repair : real science investigating cosmology and origin of universe :: human Moon and Mars mission : money wasting diversion from real science, hoping to extend the suspension of disbelief in religion a little longer, by preventing more erosion of the religious god-created, human-centric universe by empirical scientific evidence.

Program Summary

The development of new plans for human exploration of the Moon and Mars has raised an old argument again. Should we be sending humans into space? Many scientists have argued that robotic probes, rovers and satellites have produced far more science at a far lower cost than human astronauts. Will this still be the case as we look beyond Earth orbit?

Space pioneer Dr. James Van Allen, the Regent professor of physics at the University of Iowa, has worked with space probes like the Explorer, Pioneer and Mariner missions since the earliest days of the U.S. space program. In his view, human astronauts are obsolete.

Has anyone considered the possibility that the patches contain monitoring code that will in fact allow the department of Homeland Security to monitor people's computer communications? It is not as if such accusations have not come forth before. This article over at the CBC website comments about alleged CIA operations, in where they are flying prisoners around the globe to be handled in different jurisdictions. This particular article comments about such flights landing in Canada. In Gander to be exact. So it is not to far fetched to consider possible ulterior motives to getting people to update.

So while I applaud the Department of Homeland Security for advising the citizens of the USA to stay on top of their computer updates, I also wonder if there is any ulterior motive behind it. Have they asked Microsoft to include some code that they can use? Or for the bigger conspiracy theorists out there, have they infiltrated their own programmers among those who are writing Windows updates and Vista code?

And for the ultimate in conspiracy theories! Has anyone thought about the timing of the press release? One day before terrorist in the UK are busted in the closest terrorist attack since 9/11, and no one can use the argument that Homeland Security did not know about it the day before. It's not like they woke up and said "Let's bust some guys in England who just happen to be plotting to do something with commercial flights going to the USA"

My opinions might not be popular but they have a point. Be skeptical of everyone, till they prove you wrong!

Quite a few, apparently.

I read one article which claimed that one spammer in particular "received 10,000 credit card orders in one month [snip] each for $39.95 US."

So that's nearly $400,000 per month. Nice work if you can get it.

As stated: NORAD == *North American* Aerospace Defense

Canada was involved from the beginning. As a matter of fact there is a Canadian counterpart to Cheyenne Mountain near North Bay, Ontario. It is buried about 200 metres into the solid granite of the Canadian Shield bedrock which makes up the geology of the area. There are American military personnel permanently working there, just as Canadian military work in Cheyenne Mountain.

The likely attack of Soviet bombers or missiles is over the pole. This was especially true during the late 1950's (when NORAD was formed), and probably continued to be the direction of most threat during the cold war. So most of the radar stations watching for this are in Canada. The famous early version was the DEW line (Distant Early Warning) of radar stations.

SCARY FACT!!!: Canada once had NUCLEAR TIPPED BOMARC ANTI-AIRCRAFT MISSILES to be used against Soviet bombers in the event of war. They were a purchased in part to move them further north (so that when they exploded after firing at Soviet bombers, it would be in the Arctic instead of say, over Winnipeg, Calgary or Edmonton if they were fired from the U.S.A.) and as an additional replacement for the ignorant John Diefenbaker's incompetent handling of Canada's defense when he canceled the Avro Arrow (a very advanced intercepter fighter whose speed was projected to eventually top Mach 3 and had the first fly-by-wire avionics).

If you really want to stick it to them, you might be able to get the local TV news to do a story on the practice (around here, Austin, TX, we have `[channel] 7 on your side' stories, where they go into detail about how somebody was being screwed and how the TV cameras made all the problems go away.

And since you're probably in BC this would mean talking to CTV's Consumer Reporter Olsen on your side and also CBC's Marketplace is doing a segment called Underdogs (note the "Calling all underdogs" contact info).

Bad publicity for Telus will be your best weapon and the quickest and cheapest route to a happy ending. Of course it might not hurt to record your phone conversation with the Telus reps.

Let's consider the source... It's the CBC. they have one of the lowest ratings of all networks in Canada. They lost the bid to broadcast the 2010 Olympics (which are in Canada), they lost the rights to broadcast the Briar (Curling). Their last truly big hit was "The Beachcombers", or at least nothing has come close since. (Maybe "Corner Gas" will do it).

  - I would be hard pressed to count this as praise for OSS when the CBC has no idea what they're doing in almost every other department.

Yeah, that always bothered me too. Neil Armstrong testifies that he did say it with the 'a' as would be logically expected. It was lost somewhere in transmission. It's pretty hard to overcome the incompetence of bad reporting though, especially when it gets repeated thousands of times the wrong way. Unfortunately, Armstrong is reclusive and doesn't get the word out enough about his actual quote. The official records and transcripts were amended upon Armstrongs request, for anyone who cares to verify it.

Quirks and Quarks had an episode on human hibernation discussing the known mechanisms and methods within the realm of immediate possibility. It is well established that cold-water near-drowning victims have survived several hours without oxygen. From an ethical point of view the first human subjects would have to be "last hope" interventions, where death would be inevitable if hibernation were not induced.

I just Goog...uh, searched [Kyle MacDonald paper clip cbc] because I knew that CBC had covered this before. Google replied: "Did you mean: Kyle MacDonald paper clip abc".

From 2005, CBC News, unformatted for your reading pleasure:

Montreal man trading paper-clip for house Last Updated Thu, 08 Dec 2005 18:50:27 EST CBC News A Montreal man is grabbing international attention for his increasingly successful quest to barter a single red paper-clip for a house. Five months ago, Kyle MacDonald looked at a red paper-clip on his desk and decided to trade it on an internet website. He got a response almost immediately - from a pair of young women in Vancouver who offered to trade him a pen. "It was a fish-shaped pen. And I got it from a pair of vegans. So it was a great exchange. They didn't want anything to do with fish," he said. MacDonald, 25, then bartered the fish pen for a handmade doorknob from a potter in Seattle. "It was a ceramic doorknob that had been hand-shaped by, I believe the person I traded with, her son, and she had been trying to get rid of it for quite some time," said MacDonald. Annie Robbins, the Seattle potter who now owns the fish pen, says she loves the idea. "I think the whole concept really flips the idea of consumerism around. How we value things, and what things are really worth," she said. In Massachusetts, MacDonald traded the doorknob for a camp stove. He traded the stove to a U.S. marine sergeant in California for a 100-watt generator. In Queens, N.Y., he exchanged the generator for the "instant party kit" - an empty keg of beer and an illuminated Budweiser beer sign. On Thursday, MacDonald traded the keg and sign for a Bombardier snowmobile, courtesy of a Montreal radio host. "If I get up to larger items, I'm going to need a larger base of people to pick from. There is someone out there with a surplus house. I just have to find them," said MacDonald.

The $300 fine is for businesses, like paper shredding companies. General public would have a $40 fine.

There's also talk of using a similar parking meter system as described in TFA.

As a Canadian, I've seen a lot of good stories show up on CBC's website that they got from good, investigative journalism (kudos to the CBC). Yes, I realize the CBC is the state media (well, crown corporation), but I find they aren't bought by the government and they regularly air stories of interest to regular joe Canadians, and I'm also glad that the act lets them get to the important information without all the hiding and deceit I hear about in the US.

Also, I find it a bit funny that the politics version of Slashdot shows an American flag at the top where it says Slashdot, as if there weren't politics anywhere else..

Was this some kind of cosmic blast that blew out the space instruments and blasted waves across the extent of the entire Pacific Ocean?

It seems very odd that the same day the Hubble went off-line
(due to a possible 'strike by cosmic radiation' or a 'memory corruption event due to energetic particle bombardment')
that the global satellite imagery went off-line for the entire day ( at http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/tropic/tropic.html )( due to a 'power failure that kept it from retrieving images from its memory')
and massive waves caused by a storm more than 3,000 kilometres away washed away homes, hotels and restaurants along the coastline of Central America. The barrage began Sunday the 18th, and the waves weren't beginning to weaken until Tuesday afternoon.

Heavy surf was pounding the Pacific Coast from Chile to California -
A FREAKISHLY POWERFUL storm far off in the South Pacific propelled huge swells to the Americas, causing a surge of waves that battered homes and beachfront businesses from Peru to Mexico.
Several hundred people were evacuated in at least eight countries.
The waves resulted from a particularly intense low
pressure system several hundred miles off New Zealand that caused
hurricane force winds and rare snowfall at sea level. Masses of water were shoved eastward, creating UNUSUALLY big waves when the swells hit the Americas.

"second hand smoke is dangerous"

I think we can all agree that smoking is dangerous, so please explain how regular exposure to an environment filled with cigarette smoke isn't. I'm sure there are lots of people who would be glad to hear it. Heather Crowe for instance. No wait, she just died of lung cancer. That's the point that immediately struck me as absurd, but the rest are too. The only insightful part of the comment is the last line.

The problem isn't that people don't like certain things, the problem is that most people don't bother to take the time to think about the root cause of a problem. Mothers worry about their kids playing outside because of smog, so they pack them into the SUV and drive to the McDonald's playland. If more people actually bothered to ask why and not just say "it's too late now", we wouldn't have to ban peanuts from schools, use air-filters in our homes, block the stars from the sky with street lights, spend billions on healthcare for people purposely killing themselves and others, or worry about protecting ourselves from men breaking into our houses with guns.

Do you have a link to back that up? Because the entire fscking show was "Canadian Content" - *ALL* of it (which you'd know if you'd ever read the CanCon regulations.) CanCon has nothing (as in ***NOTHING***) to do with the subject matter of a program. At all.

The Olympics are for physical athletes, not people with unusually high twitch-response ability.

I don't think video games should be considered for the Olympics, but I disagree here. If you want a gold medal or world record in any timed race event, you have to have unusually high twitch response.

See Justin Gatlin for example. His 9.766 time in the 100m wasn't good enough for sole ownership of the world record after it was rounded up to 9.77.

We've had some accountability issues here in Canada. In fact, our new Prime Minister campaigned with promises of increased government accountability. It would seem that we want more whistleblowers.

Though, this example is provincial, not federal, it seems that Canada is taking steps in the opposite direction. After the recent sponsorship scandal, and (here in Manitoba) the Crocus Investment Scandal, there has been a serious push for whistleblower protection.

No word yet on what Harper is actually going to implement (sounds like he's under a mountain of recommendations). But given that he hasn't even had power for a year, I think he has some time.
