Taiwan and China are actually both China. Taiwan is the Republic of China. While what most people(unless you happen to be from Taiwan) call China is of course the Democratic Peoples Republic of China. The DPRC does consider Taiwan a rouge province, while Taiwan doesn't consider that to be the case. As the other reply said, lets hope the war to resolve this doesn't happen any time soon.
IANAL but this would appear to fall under Fair Comment in the Libel and Slander Act. which states:
24. Where the defendant published defamatory matter that is an opinion expressed by another person, a defence of fair comment by the defendant shall not fail for the reason only that the defendant or the person who expressed the opinion, or both, did not hold the opinion, if a person could honestly hold the opinion. R.S.O. 1990, c. L.12, s. 24.
meaning(by my training of no law training what so ever) that she can have that website that says I saw and I think all she wants, no matter how wrong she is. There is no need for anything more. This sounds like it was just to shut her up, and it looks like it should fail, and as a Canadian, I hope it does.
Nerds should never challenge anyone to a dance fight!! Well... I suspose the horror of the whole IT department doing some kinda spasm that may or may not be 'the robot' could cause a few casualties.
The obvious answer is simply to wage war against any other units in the business that oppose your using that private space, or plans for world domination for instance. I saw it in a dilbert comic once, they have never steered me wrong before.
From TFA "B.C. engineering company AMEC" and "AMEC started working on this four years ago and was joined by the National Research Council of Canada to draft concept designs"
Not to mention that it's going to be in Canada, and would be physically built by Canadians in that case.
What hes tring to say as I understood the quote was "I have no idea what could happen, this hasn't been done before." This was most likly in responce to the reporters semirandom question about the proceedure altering the patients personality.
This is simply a conspiracy by activist judges to bring the NASCAR Dads of your country on side. I mean who else elected dubbya. As a sibling post makes mention of, a NASCAR Dad, or even a Soccer (ok Hockey) Mom, is possibly more likly to get a DUI then vote.
Yes, the CBC employees are on strike at the moment. The CBC doesn't have any pressure to negotiate either, they just run documentaries and movies, let the temps/management do the news then show BBC world service on CBC newsworld for a bit and still collect their funding and ad revenue. It's quite sad actually.
Hate to reply to myself, but I also have to say about the wire tapping bill, this was passed about a year after the u.s. passed the original version and I'm sure there was pressure for us to do the same because CSIS(argh)is basicly the local CIA branch office.
So the best you've got is the mishandling of ONE person, and the annual government boondoggle, welcome to canada. Again don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. I'd be happy to show you the way to the boarder if you are in the Toronto area.
And I never mentioned racial distribiton of prision population, thats a problem that has differnt roots. I was refering to over all percentage of population in the penal system.
Also the goal of the Canadian CORRECTIONS system is just that, it's not perfect but we aren't in the business of warehousing a large number of our people, the ideal goal(which is never 100% met) is CORRECTION and reintegration.
Futher the 3 strikes does not apply to only violent crimes, here I am refering to california specificly, in which any felony will do, even traffic related. There are people tring to change this however, and i hope they suceed. Of note you mention Bernardo, recidivism in sex offenders is nearly 100% is it not? I don't agree that these people should just run free, their debt to society may never be paid, but that still does not mean they HAVE to be warehoused, chemical(or rust sissors) castration could work. I am going off topic here.
Anyway if thats the best you have please do feel free to turn in your landed immigrant card or working visa.
I'm not even gunna go AC on this, if you honestly believe that get the hell out of my country. You aren't welcome here.
I can think of lets see... Who has the largest proportion of their population in the prison system, yep the US. 3 Strikes your in for life? Yep thats at least a couple of states.
I'm just so angry at you right now that I'm not even going to do the research, but the 2 items I mentioned are common knowlege. As you said you've been here for 11 years, go back and try and live in your homeland again, see if you keep the same opinion. BTW don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out...
I doubt that the American public is impressed with what the current Canadian legislative and judicial systems either.
I would doubt it, they have no reason to know anything about our legislative and judicial systems.
Furthermore, with a signature that says "Liberal Ontarians and French Quebecers are draining Western Canada's wealth. Stop them now! Support Western separatism." you have problems at home to deal with.
Keeping in mind that I am a 'Liberal Ontarian', the west has always felt this way towards the east, and not without justification if you look in the history books, almost since confederation(if not before) if I remember.
I can speak to the truth of this. When I was in my 4th year of highschool the IT department decided they wanted to lock down all the computers in the school, passwords this that and the other thing. They did this even in the lab that was used exclusivly for the programming courses, needless to say, pain in the arse. A small group of the students got a little annoyed about having to get up and get the teacher to unlock the computer at the start of every class, and anytime we managed to crash one among other things. So we conspired, about 3 of us, to obtain the passwords we needed to work freely, simply quickly mocking up a dummy screen and getting the teacher to unlock the computer. Now this is far worse then what these students did, we actually stole the password, it wasn't written down anywhere we could get to. You know what happened?
The teacher thought it was great, we all had a good laugh, he even wanted to have a look at the source for our little tool. Now, we did admit to the teacher we did this however, because there wasn't an environment of fear about going to jail for basicly a simple prank.
Had that been the case for these students the state might actually have had a case and gone to trial with it.
While an incredably morbid line of thought, I'll bite. The system could still be "profitable" if some ratio is exceeded between so called partial saves and complete saves. That exact ratio would require knowing how much it costs to keep someone in a persistant vegetative state.
Just as a matter of personal preference I would actually rather not know that cost, less it some how come up in conversation and I seem creepy.(er then I already do)
It seems to me that Mother Nature is a little bit reluctant to let her children leave home and grow up
Well if I, as the earth, raised a child that behaved like the human race I would be inclined to try to stop it from doing to another world what it did to me. But thats a little too conspiratorial for my tastes... No Dr. the earth is not out to get me, the earth is not out to get me...:D
This was only modded troll because it got first post. How is asking how spending on Universal Broadband better than other spending a troll? Damn do people not even read the summary at the top of the story anymore.
No, I said if the government is going to expand it's authority, Universal Broadband, why not do something useful instead. How is Universal Broadband protection, or for that matter the DMCA? Strawman.

How is this a troll! The icon is Gates of the Borg....
I would have figgured Lego Engineerii, or Lego Engineeresessessessess.(filthy ones at that)
Ok, obviously if I posit UNIVERSAL healthcare, and the summary AND makes reference to UNIVERSAL broadbad, what might I be tring to say.
So then spend on Universal Broadband of course??
This was only modded troll because it got first post. How is asking how spending on Universal Broadband better than other spending a troll? Damn do people not even read the summary at the top of the story anymore.
