it's been clear since the beginning of the self-driving car era that a lot of this "AI" and automation tech's real purpose is to allow corporations to off-load culpability for their crimes, be they mowing down kids or blowing them up, to an entity that cannot be held accountable for them

those large displacement scooters exist as a weird niche product but you will never see them around in cities. the average scooter you see around in the city is a 50cc or 150cc clutchless singlespeed that will not comfortably do highway speeds. they have almost nothing in common with a motorcycle.

not sure where you got the idea that scooters and motorcycles have similar engines. most scooters are between 50 and 200 cc. those obnoxiously loud Harleys are generally 1200 to 2000 cc.

Mexican newspaper La Jornada polled Mexicans about the war in Iran. 1% of respondents said Mexico should help the US and Israel. 14% said they should help Iran.

not to be a hopium guy, but the vast decrease in the cost of deploying renewables means that any price spike in oil is going to prompt an acceleration of renewable energy infrastructure buildout

Fight for Housing Platform - COPE โ€” COPE Vancouver

of course they do, they had a full platform for Orr's byelection

they are very pro-housing and always have been. the guy you're replying to is a crank who just wants developers to have infinite freedom to build whatever useless shoebox "luxury condos" they want to.

Really can't be left unacknowledged that every single state in the region that houses US military personnel, except for maybe two, do so against the will of the supermajority of their own public's opinion but it does not matter because most of these states are US backed dictatorships.

so when the Iranian government falls apart and the west gets their people on the ground, and those people fail to find any evidence of a nuclear weapons program, will there be any reckoning amongst the pundit class for pushing this obvious hoax? or just Iraq WMDs all over again?

lol this is just an outright falsehood man. I guess this is why you're a columnist and not a reporter.

i don't know how much more full-throated you imagine it could get than "Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon," particularly given there's no evidence Iran has a nuclear weapons program

FWIW i think this is a very bad justification for full-throatedly endorsing an illegal war of aggression
