Let's hear from one of the scientists involved.

"This is the first time we've actually seen ice from the High Arctic," said Barber, who has studied the impacts of climate change on sea ice for decades.

Typically when people think about climate change they think about thinning ice, but Barber points out the warming action also loosens ice and broken icebergs can travel long distances on ocean currents.

"It's very much a climate-change driven phenomenon," said Barber. "When you reduce the extent of the ice and reduce the thickness of it, it becomes more mobile."

Unifor media council chair Randy Kitt also criticized the broadcast regulator for failing to force Netflix to follow Canadian content rules. "Netflix isn't shy about collecting subscription fees in Canadian dollars and repatriating them to the U.S., so why do they continue to get a free pass?" he asked in a statement.

You know what the difference between today and the 1980's were? That the attack in San Bernardino and Pulse Nightclub both could have been stopped. What happened?

Omar got reported, and yet the authorities ended up doing nothing.

But then, the same goes for others.

I suppose we could live in the Draconian Police State you want, but I suspect you'd hate that.

And how about more in the UK, with those girls raped and being sold as sex slaves(just a fyi it's happening in the US too).

Yes, yes, West Texas is full of it.

And the muslims trying to take over schools to turn them into extremist breeding grounds(see trojan horse scandal).

No, that's Christians.

Well what do you know? In those dozens of cases it was all the same thing too.

I think we've got a problem. You know what it is? People are too politically correct and afraid of being labeled racist/islamophobe/etc.

Nope, it's the other way around. People are obsessively racist, islamophobic, and otherwise unable to see the problems are all over.

So afraid that they'll turn a blind eye to people preparing to carry out a terrorist attack. Until that changes this isn't going to change either. We could, avoid the whole "implement internet agenda thing." The answer is in this paragraph. And you know as well as I do that the left has a very long history the last decade of going after people for daring to say "that muslim looks like they're going to blow people up."

Yeah, that's because you say it so much, then you attack some Sikhs.

After all, that's what happened in Rotterdam and why 1000+ girls were raped and used as sex toys after all....for over a decade.

Clean your own closet first.

You don't really care though, that's why you won't even bat an eye at the stuff in your own backyard.

You'll do nothing but scream and pout in a tantrum.

Apparently you are, not only that you're an idiot to boot. The "line that I'm pushing" is people are afraid of doing something and being labeled racist for doing it.

To make it very simple for you: They're willing to look the other way because of fear, and they're willing to look so hard in the other direction that people are dying because of it.

Yes, the FBI is unable to investigate right-wing terrorism because of that attitude.

Some of

Not nearly good enough, you misogynerds! It's all the fault, collectively and severally, of you inferior beings who can't give birth to a child that there are no womyn-born-womyn in tech careers!

Nothing is good enough until the womyn-born-womyn programmers start precipitating out of the æther!

You must have missed it when they got rid of the womyn-born-womyn for being transphobic. Now it's not enough to have womyn-born-womyn, they must be male-born-womyn who have had their birth certificates modified after the fact.

Here is a better example, although it's not in the US. it is a good examples of what ISPs will do if permitted.

And you missed a whole bunch...

Just a FYI that "standard debt" was paid off in 2015, electricity prices are still going up.

Wikipedia is absolute shit in terms of understanding what's going on here, and the article itself is so poorly written that it's silly. Try reading that and you'll get a better understanding. Ontario already has guaranteed rates for nuclear power plants, just a FYI. It adds a production cost of between 0.02-0.03kWh to the base cost during the last 15 years prior to refurbishment. The last government audit before the watch dog on electricity prices was gutted by the provincial liberals put the minimum cost that FIT and green energy was increasing the price was 16.5%, that was in ~2013.

People are so quick to jump on the FIT program and green energy costs here in Ontario. They seem to forget the billion dollars we have to pay off in order to cancel a contract for a couple of gas turbine generating stations to be built so the Liberals could win those seats in an election. In a statement concerning the rate hikes a couple of years ago (2 or 3) raising wages were responsible for approximately half of the hike. There are a lot of people making over $100k in the power companies.

Except that the FIT program and subsidies are directly responsible for those energy costs. Not those "gas power plants" that they cancelled and screwed the province over. See that link above that says "global news" where the provincial Liberal government openly states that it's the "green energy program" aka FIT that's the direct cause of the high electricity prices. Maybe you can enjoy reading this article instead. Or perhaps you can read this one. You know where the blame falls directly on the green energy program and the FIT system. Or perhaps even this one. Yeah, it all falls back to one place. Then you can get into this bullshit.

4. Liquor store recalling a product because it contains too much alcohol.
You want me to give you back the liquor I purchased because it has a higher concentration of alcohol? You're *hic* funny.

Watching a violent video online can lead to PTSD, inducing nightmares, anxiety and panic attacks. One study study found that people who watched traumatic events on video were more traumatized than those who watched it in real life.

So, yes, watching a traumatic video is definitely unsafe. And I sincerely help that Facebook provides psychological help to their workers who will be screening for these disturbing videos.

The moment Apple actually pulls this off and starts emitting enough power from WiFi Access points to charge an iPhone is the moment I start permanently wearing my tinfoil hat. I'll also have to reluctantly start siding with these crazy folks.

What's weird is if this isn't a legitimate way to test the Chicken, why did they get the expected results from the other 4 restaurant chains that were tested? They used two independent labs to verify the results, and both times the results indicated significantly less chicken in the subway "meat". According to this article about the testing they tested 3 samples taken from 2 sample sandwiches of each of the products tested (3 from other companies and 2 subway sandwiches). The subway meat was such a large outlier that they initially thought there was a problem with the testing so they tested 5 additional samples of each of the subway products but got the same results.

In any case, the testing certainly seems to show that there is something significantly different about the chicken procured from Subway that was tested by the labs.

No organization wants to defame another, or get sued for wrongful information. You can rest assured that they found that the chicken they had was factually 50%+ of soy. Was it Subway, or their contracted meat supplier who may have adulterated the ground chicken so that it would pass through a slicer without disintegrating.

Reading the article, CBC doesn't say the chicken is 50% soy at all. They merely draw a comparison across a lot of restaurants and point out that Subway has drastically more soy than anyone else. I think that it is still a very valid statement, if Burger King is lying to you less about the contents of their food than Subway is, unless you think the results of the study wouldn't be consistent from restaurant to restaurant.

"While most of the samples were found to contain close to 100 per cent chicken DNA, Subway sandwiches contained substantially less than the other chains. Tests showed an average of 53.6 per cent chicken DNA for the oven-roasted chicken and 42.8 per cent for the chicken strips."

http://www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

"We were able to determine the relative amounts of chicken via plant filler in these samples through PCR amplification"

What surprises me is that they need a study to tell this. Just look around, everyone who owns a damn cell phone is using it at some point while driving. At every red light, you can see at least 1/2 driver looking at their phone. Best way to catch them: cops in buses to spot them. And best way to deter them: higher ticket price.

People tend to not follow laws that they think are irrational, and most people think that prohibiting checking the phone while the car is at a complete stop, is stupid. Want to make things safer, then require the gear be placed in [Parked]. I don't know about other states but in NY you can get be ticketed while parked at the curb if the engine is running. The Laws in this case should strike a balance that minimizes risk and provides the most benefit, rather then idealism that in practice is wildly ignored

3 bear cubs got themselves locked in a park outhouse. Rangers can't figure out how hat happened. Guess that the old question "Does a bear shit in the woods?" needs to be answered "not necessarily" now.

And people HAVE experienced american-style health care, been bankrupted by it, something that just doesn't happen in Kanuckistan.

And of course, there are outcomes where people live a decade longer in Canada with the same disease than they do in the US.

Also noted in the article is that Canadians have much higher access to organ transplants than the US:

The study found a greater proportion of patients in Canada had transplants (of any organ) - 10.3 per cent of patients vs. 6.5 per cent.

That's 58% more access to organ transplants. As for the drugs, anyone can import a 6-month supply of pharmaceuticals into Canada for personal use provided they have a valid prescription, so lthere is no such thing as "drug X is not available in Canada." You just have to be willing to pay for it - same as in the US.

You should keep looking, you glossed over most of what it's saying. In particular with polling of non-disclosed political affiliation in media trust. Including things like this. While gallup and journalism's numbers are interesting, it also makes my point correct. Perhaps you should also ask why the trust in the media is in decline...everywhere.

Can something like this device apply for access in cabin ?

Business is crippled. This is why "cashless" cannot work.

Women aren't liars and thieves like men are. She's probably just been scammed herself by her employees who lied to her about their results, and now she is trying to set that right.

Leona Hemsley - "taxes are for little people." Mata Hari, Tokyo Rose, mass murderer Jane Toppan (31 victims), Nannie Doss (11 killings), Miyuki Ishikawa (103), Juana Barraza (dozens), Dagmar Overbye (up to 25), and in goody two-shoes Canada, Karla Hololka, who raped and killed her sister and two others with the help of her husband Paul Bernardo, and currently, former nurse Elizabeth Wettlaufer is accused of murdering 8 patients in nursing homes via insulin injections.

None of this changes the fact that the vast majority of serial killers are men, but to say that women aren't "liars and thieves like men" when women can be serial killers is a bit ... well ... not buying it.

And obviously, you aren't either ... but this being slashdot, there's going to be some who need <sarcasm> tags ...

To press the point further, nobody just "goes into business for themselves" anymore, it's not that simple

Talk about bullshit. Every economic downturn, the number of self-employed goes up. Why? Because it IS easy to go into business for yourself. And if the alternative is the gig economy, where you have none of the benefits and all the risks of being self-employed anyway, might as well cut out the boss and keep his cut for yourself.

Or did the gig economy, the rise of the precariat, fail to attract your attention? And the reality of education no longer being a guarantee of a job?

In Canada especially in BC civil forfeiture is now being used as a punishment in some cases when the crown lost the case. Its sounds crazy but http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... there are other cases and even judges has stated on record that what the Civil Forfeiture office is doing goes beyond the punishment but the judges are power less to over turn it.

Why do you think Trump was elected.

Chance, his level of support, minimal though it was, combined with the artifact of a centuries old electoral system, let him, a very much part of the establishment, figure, squeak his way into office. Do note, he only got a modicum increase of votes compared to his Republican predecessors.

In some states, he even under-performed. Like Wisconsin. Check out the returns in 2004.

He wasn't part of the establishment, why do you think so many republicans are attacking him along with democrats?

Republicans are barely willing to tell him he's mistaken, let alone attack him. They're total suckups.

This is about "us or them" but your axis is wrong, it's libertarian vs authoritarian.

What other fairy tales are you telling? It's about a crazy man in office, and idiots believing he's not a total dickweed.

Maybe you had a chance if it was a guy like Perot, but Trump?

Which is why you've seen so many people quit the democrat party since Clinton received the nomination.

I haven't seen anybody, in fact, quit the Democratic party, nor even really get upset over it. I've seen a lot of people claim that, but then they go on their love affair with Trump, and then I see them as frauds and liars.

Why the moderates in the middle of the political class have grown.

Grown to where? Done what?

Why even life-long democrats are willing to vote for Trump.

There are idiots in every crowd, fortunately, however, they weren't in substantial numbers. Note his popular vote loss.

This isn't just US politics either, it's happening in the UK.

Not really, no. If anything, the establishment of the Conservative party is leading people along like fools.

May glommed onto this issue, to become the Second Thatcher, but she's desperate to avoid anybody actually seeing the negotiations, let alone resisting her dictates.

It's happening in France, Germany, Netherlands, Canada. 90% of this entire thing is "elite insiders" vs the public and they're willing to use anything from identity politics(you're a racist/sexist/homophobe/misogynist/nazi/etc) to try and keep a hold of power.

Yes, Trump is certainly willing to use identity politics and fear, as is Le Pen in France, Strache in Austria, Wilders in the Netherlands, and whatever idiots you Canadians have. They're quite good at scaring people, angering people, and getting them to throw a tantrum.

Notice how he keeps trying to make himself out to be the victim of persecution.

Hell in Canada, there it's only taken 15 months and there's already a growing backlash against the establishment. 80% of the public don't trust the government in power(Trudeaus Liberals), the last time it was that high? 1998 when Chretien's Liberals were in power.

Actually, it says 80% feel the elites are out of touch. Which is a good thing, but rather low.

In any case, Trump was not propelled into the White House, he slinked there.

Do learn that. He will ALWAYS be the popular vote loser.

So how's he muting the press? Oh right he's not. You realize that press gaggles aren't a right to attend event don't you? You realize that gaggles are also posted publicly. Where are your protests when Obama did the same thing to "right wing" media outlets. Oh...I see. How about when he tried to ban Fox News? And it took the press to actually call his administration out on that. You see the difference yet? No? The Obama administration tried to directly block a news organization. Trump has not, they're still there at every presser. At every briefing, and they weren't invited to a single gaggle and suddenly the sky is falling.

The public aren't confused what "fake news" is. Why do you think that there is such a small level of trust in the media? You think Trump suddenly traveled back in time and made it happen under Bill Clinton's term or something? You wonder why the trust in the press has steadily decreased since roughly then to the abysmal level it is now at 14% of the public trusting them.

Time to realize that the media lied at you, and he hasn't muted the press. You want to know what a muted press actually looks like? This is what the media being banned actually looks like. And what it actually looks like when they're called out by the media for banning a news organization. Oh and the NDP? They're far-left.

Hah. Nope. You miss all those stories in the news and even here on /. over the last couple of years of people being forced to train their replacements and being replaced by H1B's? Guess so, there's no shortage of stories on it. These companies are gaming the system. Just like companies in Canada are abusing the TFW(temporary foreign worker) program. The difference between H1B and TFW if anyone is wondering is that a TFW can work any job. The shittiest companies at the very bottom(janitorial/fast food), to big name companies like Royal Bank of Canada have been caught gaming the system up here too.

This type of stuff is what causes violent revolutions, and neither governments or businesses seem to give a shit that they're contributing to something that will bite them in the ass. Only upside is down there in the US, Trump wants to gut and fix that program. In Canada, Trudeau decided to undo what the conservatives had put in place in order to limit how companies could abuse the TFW program.

Nothing but a race to the fucking bottom, and it's very easy to see where this shit started. Those people who used to seasonally work as farm workers(fruit/tobacco/etc). When I was a teen, you could make 30-50% more per hour then min wage. Then the government changed the rule to allow imported foreign labor. Hourly wages went away, people were paid by weight/count. And people who lived in the country stopped doing the work because it was an absolute shit wage being paid.

Pushing AI much, are you?

You must have missed this a week ago. Also, this. Cut-n-paste coders with no real insight will be the first against the wall, along with their bosses, and the hr droids. They will not be missed.

One consequence will be removing the bullsh*t "hour of code" for school kids - something that most of us here recognize as stupid. Another will be killing off the SJWs who are platforming on the evils of the tech world, which in reality are no worse than anywhere else (it's a mess everywhere - and you can be damn sure SJWs aren't going to fix it*).

*For those who believe otherwise, wake up and look at the facts.

Training is the most popular initiative to increase workplace diversity, according to a study of 829 tech and non-tech private companies over 31 years. Four in 10 companies offered bias training in 2002. Yet training had “no positive effects in the average workplace,” the study found.

The numbers of women in computing have taken a nose dive for over two decades. Data from the American Association for University Women (2015) and WebCASPAR (2015).

Diversity efforts have been especially futile in the tech sector. The percentage of women among US tech workers has steadily declined over the past two decades, for instance, now standing at 26%.

The field is toxic for both sexes - it's become more and more of a dead end where you'd better have a backup plan when you're perceived as "too old to code", or you're hosed. It's easier for women to leave because the sexism and gender bias give an additional incentive not to "tough it out" - it's one more straw on the proverbial camel's back - but men are also getting their lives turned to sh*t by the crappy bosses who think that "beatings will continue until creativity improves" actually works.

Obviously you didn't read the article OR watch the show. They explain their methodology and you can clearly see how fake the Subway chicken looks. They also re-did the Subway test to make sure it wasn't an anomaly, buying another bunch of take-outs and having them tested as well.

The companies in question - Wendy's, Subway, McDonalds, Tim Horton's - responded HERE.

Their responses sound reasonable, so either they are lying or the "DNA tests" are not accurate.

In http://www.cbc.ca/news/technol... the CBC article notes that the distance from Earth the spacecraft will go one way is 300k to 400k miles, not as TFA implies that's the total trip distance.

The critical step to this "unlimited budget via the back door" is to bring the new system up, regardless of how far away from actual completion and stability it is, then immediately shut down the old systems, shred the hard drives and dispose of the hardware, so that no one can ever contemplate returning to the old system as a standby.

That's funny, because it's exactly what they did when they overhauled the Canadian federal employee payroll service (Phoenix). There are now egregious failures with the new system: unpaid employees, overpaid employees and incorrect amounts in year-end income tax documents.

Imagine receiving triple your salary, making sure to keep the extra money aside, because it *will* have to be reimbursed. And to add insult to injury, pay income tax on that huge amount, then fight CRA to have your tax return revised when the correction finally gets applied.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

So you're a bigot. Censoring speech of bad view points doesn't make it go away, it makes it fester. On top of that, it's also used as a method to block views that people express if it's contrary to official policies. That's one of the reasons why you're seeing extremist parties start to rise in European countries, because views contrary to the government/elites are being blocked/ignored/etc. And those groups, offer a way for people vent/make statements/etc without being censored by the powers in place.

Why do you think the trust in government in Canada is the lowest it has been in 17 years? That was the last time the Liberal Party was in power and are in power now. And 80% of people feel that the elites in power are dangerously out of touch. It's because the elites live in a bubble and view points are filtered and censored before they reach them. This is the shit that leads to violent revolutions, and usually before that happens you see people enacting their view of justice on the streets. Something that's happening in some European countries now. Where "average people" are gathering into posses and enacting justice against people. Because they see that the state is failing to uphold their part of the social contract. Laws aren't being applied equally, people committing violent crimes are given slaps on the wrist. People who commit the same crimes if they are of a different sex get light sentences and so on. An example of the last one, a man rapes a 13 yr old girl, 5-10 years in prison. A women rapes a 13yr old boy, 2 months suspended sentence or time in a half-way house.

Yeah in Canada they're called TFW's(temporary foreign workers), and unlike H1B's a TFW can replace any job at any level if the company can work out a way to claim there isn't someone to fill it. The Royal Bank of Canada was caught doing this a few years ago. But it's happened across skilled trades, white collar workers, blue collar, take your pick.

My mistake. I was comparing census results for Toronto, (which apparently were the Metro numbers you mentioned above) against the "city" numbers for Los Angeles. Since neither source specified city/urban/metro but both only used the city names, I assumed that the metrics were an accurate comparison.

Come to Canada, the Trudeau government is trying to do exactly that with TFW's. Take a look at all the companies up here hiring TWF's, while the country sits between 6-20% unemployment. People working in the oil sands as killed labor? Well the company doesn't want to pay them those wages anymore so they fire them and hire some TFWs. Have a factory in NFLD which processes fish for consumers? Highly seasonal, but we'll just not hire the newfies who've been working it for years and paid at the min.wage. We'll hire some TFW's to do it and only have to pay them 1/2 to 2/3's the standard rate. Don't want to pay Canadian seafarers anymore? Just lay them off before Christmas and replace them with TFW's too.

So yep. At this point, let's see what happens when those cushy white collar jobs are threatened.

Canadian IT workers too. For a typical job posting, *after* resumes are screened, I still get about 100 candidates with only 30% or so Canadian citizens.

Canadian IT workers are getting the same fuck-over that the ones in the US are. Even the big banks have been pulling this bullshit up here, the Royal Bank that decided they were going to can their IT dept., and replace them all with out-of-country workers and then used the TFW program to fill the positions.

If anything, this should be a warning to Americans of just how bad this can get. That Canada has between 6% and 14% just why do you need to import foreign workers when people who live here can't find work. Here's an article on welders being laid off or contracts cancelled and being replaced. You can also see this website here which is covering the TFW abuse. The reality is Canada is now having a populist rise just like in the US, it might take a few more years. But considering the huge upswing in temporary jobs and contract jobs, and people being laid off from full time work, while TFW's are being brought in? There will be a reaction.

In Ontario cap-and-trade will drive the price of gasoline up 4.3 cents per litre, and push up costs for people who heat with natural gas or furnace oil by an average of $5 per month. The Alberta tax is revenue neutral, so the average household tax will rise by $0, and some households would see their tax decrease. That's the right way to do this.

The conservative Harper government sent government censors to monitor what scientists said at conferences. I would definitely expect the much-more-extremist conservative government we have here now to go further. And Trump knows the power of twitter and social media. The roadblock to taking action on climate change isn't a lack of peer-reviewed journals or conferences. The issue is getting the public to realize they're definitely in danger. Trump is likely looking into keeping that from happening.
