Definitely! That’s why I said it’s possible non-consenting stuff took place after the video ends. It’s entirely possible, but people don’t go to jail because it’s possible they committed a crime.

I also don’t believe that the Crown even argued that consent was revoked. I believe their argument was she was too drunk to consent so what she said in the video doesn’t matter. Again, possible, but they couldn’t prove that beyond a doubt.

I’m not a lawyer either, but reading the judge’s verdict, it sounds like the only evidence the prosecution had was the woman’s testimony. The defence had video recordings of the women verbally consenting. Kinda hard to prove beyond a doubt that the woman did not consent when it’s on video. Not that some non-consenting stuff didn’t happen when the video was turned off but again, a guilty verdict requires no doubt.

That’s what the CBC article is about. How sexual assault victims often don’t come forward since securing a conviction is incredibly difficult on testimony alone.

CTV news is doing live updates on the ruling. The judge is going over evidence that seems to suggest the complainant was sober and consented. No official ruling yet, but I don’t think the judge starting off by saying the woman’s testimony is not credible leads to a guilty verdict.

Edit: all five ruled not guilty on all charges

Back in my day, it was only a penny for someone’s thoughts!

RISE UP, GAMERS!

I literally cannot tell if this is meant to be satire.

The idea that choosing a safe seat means not winning by a landslide could be considered a failure is an interesting one. Though I really can’t see the party kicking him out as leader unless he just barely wins.

I get it. I also get that the reason this is an issue is because he lost a seat he held for 20 years and needs help from others to keep his job and house. He talks about personal responsibility and then asks for handouts when he loses. He talks about government elites and then uses his political status to get special treatment. It is an example of his hypocrisy.

Guy living in the government funded house for the leader of the official opposition, even though he is not the leader of the official opposition, suggests the PM isn’t being ethical.

the Walrus: Canada’s conversations

This article was written by an American for Americans. It compares the Finnish parental benefits system to that of the US. Canada is never mentioned once and the monetary amounts are all in USD.

Entered the US illegally and is now claiming asylum? He’s really hoping being a white conservative is going to stop him from going to jail.

“A speed camera that has recently spent more time on its side or in a pond than it has upright and functioning has clearly fallen well short of addressing the dangerous speeding on Parkside Drive,” Gholizadeh said.

It has issued over 68,000 speeding tickets and generated over $7 million in fines to date, according to Safe Parkside.

It has spent most of its time inactive and still generated $7 million in revenue?

That’s around $100 per person which is approximately the fine for going 17 km/h over the posted speed (17 × $3 per km/h over × 2 for being in a community saftey zone). The posted speed limit is 40 km/h. The average person is therefore going 57 km/h.

I did. I like to read opinions to see if any good points are raised. I don’t see any valid points in this article. The author derives Carney’s entire personality from a 5 minute photo op where a chef helps him cook some pancakes at the Calgary Stampede.

The author suggests Carney is an angry authoritarian who hates working class people due to his behaviour in that photo op. Specifically, things like not picking up a pancake he dropped on the ground, and saying the reason he couldn’t flip a pancake well was because the chef was making them way too big.

I’ve seen many valid criticisms of Carney, but this article isn’t one.

If you purposefully look for stuff to be mad at, you’ll find it. Guy can’t cook pancakes. It’s a good thing PM doesn’t mean Pancake Maker. Let’s see the author of this article be the head of a central bank or negotiate a trade deal with the European Union.

Why would Canada call the US a safe country for people seeking refugee status and also accept refugees from the US?

Why would Canada call the US a safe country for people seeking refugee status and also accept refugees from the US?

No. Canada has an agreement with the US that nobody entering Canada from the US will be seen as a refugee and will be deported back to the US. Vice versa is true with people entering the US from Canada.

It’s the Safe Third Country Agreement. They even have big red letters saying “yes this agreement is still in effect”.

Me, every time I try searching a Rust question.

That’s easy. Just do:

fn is_second_num_positive() -> bool {
    let input = "123,-45";
    let is_positive =
        input.split(',')
        .collect::<Vec<&str>>()
        .last()
        .unwrap()
        .parse::<i32>()
        .unwrap()
        .is_positive();
    is_positive
}

It’s a 3% tax on tech companies. Carney did not agree to be a vassal state. He cancelled a would be tax that Trudeau said would take effect today in an attempt to sign a trade deal with the US, something the US agreed to negotiate before end of July. If there’s no deal by then he could always move forward with the tax.

I can’t believe “I would have millions of Canadians suffer” is getting upvotes…never change internet.

What would you do? Cut trade entirely? Start a war? Millions of Canadians will suffer over a 3% tax on Facebook?
