In order to use any service provided by Meta one has to already have their head in the sand and pants around their ankles.

Asking for mindfulness in the face of the latest "moral dilemma" posed by Meta is simply not something the user base seems capable of.

The groups say the legislation was not necessary to protect the public and harms people most in need of legal name changes

The changes were prompted after B.C. United Leader Kevin Falcon introduced a proposed private member's bill to change the act after learning that B.C. child killer Allan Schoenborn was legally permitted to change his name to Ken John Johnson.

Schoenborn was found guilty of three counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of his children, aged five, eight and 10, in Merritt, B.C., in 2008, but he was later found to be not criminally responsible because of a mental disorder.

Convicted child-killer Allan Schoenborn legally changed his name in 2021, and it only became public this week

Seems like the legislation was necessary based on the fact nothing prevented a mentally unwell child murderer from changing their name, which happened years before it was found out.

I am so sick and tired of people who refuse to admit that safe guards are needed to prevent people from abusing systems.

Numerous things require criminal record checks. Will these same people refuse to work because of a required criminal record check? Will they refuse one if they wish to adopt a child? How about refusing a passport for travel?

If you aren't willing to get a criminal record check to change your name it isn't that important to you.

Imagine if the author came out and simply said "What the Likud party is doing is wrong on every level and must be stopped".

Imagine doing that instead of saying Hamas is justified in their actions by painting a narrative around the US occupying Canadian land and asking us to imagine "what Canadians would do".

Speaks volumes about the people pushing such a narrative.

What more should be done to give him "help" other than the free time needed to seek it, no pay cut which allows him to pay for it, and no consequences for breaking the law he was tasked to enforce?

He is suspended with pay.

Business as usual.

Fuck the Police.

The only people who care are already against dictatorships.

Stop calling it "Trump style". It already has a name that everyone knows and it is called Fascism.

The behaviour you’re describing is someone who only has insults for their argument. You cannot win a logical argument so you resort to this.

What is the "logical argument" you believe you have made that I have not responded to?

Is the "insult" throwing back your "undemocratic and partisan" comment and calling it childish projection?

Or was it "insulting" telling you that this

Hopefully the greens and the conservatives refuse to so we have a minority government.

is not how it works?

I am assuming you find both a question about your comment, and calling out your childish behavior, as direct insults on you as a person so please attempt to be clear this time.

Sounds like someone is undemocratic and partisan.

I am happy to see you demonstrate your self awareness even if it had to be delivered with childish projection.

So you just want to scream your non sense at the internet?

Got it. Take care.

The government did not win the majority of the vote so they should not have a majority.

What does this

Hopefully the greens and the conservatives refuse to so we have a minority government.

have to do with that?

Would you mind getting off your soap box for a moment to sort this out?

I think you are the one who needs to explain their point of view regarding an NDP speaker creating a minority Government.

That isn't how it works.

What makes you think an AGI wouldn't need our species in some way?

He explicitly stated during his testimony that he knows the names of Conservative MPs who are compromised, both past and present.

It would be helpful if we started calling the "playbook" out for what it actually is.

This is the Fascist play book being used by the right wing globally to establish theocratic dictatorships. Even with countless books on the subject, pointing the tactics out explicitly, people still fall for the same shit that has seen countless dictators gain power.

Which is why it is so important to call out this non sense for what it actually is. Fascism is alive and well, gaining more ground daily, and needs to be spoken about in the most blunt way possible.

I was under the impression that the Liberals, specifically Trudeau, are so corrupt we need an election this very moment to save Canada.

Weird how suddenly the "most corrupt Prime Minister in Canadian history" has a moral obligation to continue being the "most corrupt Prime Minister in Canadian history".

They are call "Cons" for a reason and it isn't because of a shortened party name.

I agree on all fronts.

We need a better system in BC, and across Canada, that would see proportional representation in our Government.

I don't think it is a bad thing for the Greens to hold the balance of power, in fact I enjoy minority Governments compared to Majority governments.

The Greens in BC are a lot different from the Federals in many ways, and I would vote for them if they had a chance in my riding, but at the end of the day I have always voted NDP with a nod to the Greens because the NDP has a more realistic and attainable platform.

As far as BC politics go, in a nut shell, it is a damn mess and always has been. haha

Seeing that the Conservatives cannot form a government even if they win the last two seats is comforting after a stress filled week.

It is especially sweet that the NDP is still in the hunt for a majority.
