Is this AI
Yep
This is surprising good. Seems it can do cartoon hands better than real hands. What clued you off to it being AI?
Some recent AI model does this style of drawing for comics. https://lemmy.world/post/27797997
That’s kind of an interesting concept, being able to detect AI art by the model’s “style”
The yellow tour bus was the biggest clue to me, after that I started noticing other things. In Canada yellow buses are for school, tour buses are usually red and white.
No, this is Patrick.
I’m American, I can’t afford too
Can you make one exception… maybe like five, or a few hundred. I have a list.
at this point, I’d do unpaid labor for Canadian citizenship and my life would still probably improve drastically.
Unless you’re indigenous. Then you’ll get thrown into a mass grave, and the authorities won’t do a thing about it when you’re discovered.
Indigenous women are still kidnapped and forcefully sterilized
…Which is no longer happening
Bullshit. Plenty of studies and news stories covering the continued violence against Canadian indigenous, and the refusal of the government to properly address or investigate the problem.
Proof? You’re making the claims the burden of evidence is on you.
As far as I know the two women killed in Manitoba were the result of a serial killer and Wab did the right thing.
We definitely treat our indigenous poorly but as far as I know we are no longer throwing them in mass graves.
https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2023/country-chapters/canada
Which mass graves have you known about as they were being filled, rather than when they were discovered after the fact? How can you possibly confidently proclaim it’s not happening anymore, as indigenous peoples (especially women and children) continue to go missing in high numbers?
Are they actively murdering and burying indigenous people in mass graves? This report is on the historical failings of the government as it pertains to 2022.
To be clear as of that report the government was not acknowledging their failures to account for and prevent these atrocities not that they were actively committing them.
Oh. You’re a genocide denier.
I don’t think the genocide is active anymore, this is a super weird hill to die on. To be honest Canada has a LONG way to go in terms of reconciliation. land acknowledgements, etc are a super fake check mark to be “native friendly” but they are a step in the right direction. No, Canadians are not actively murdering first Nations and burying them in mass graves.
Yes, the there still is some cultural genocide and the communities are still absolutely struggling to recover from being completely fucked by the Catholic Church and the Canadian government with residential schools, rascism, reserve system and destruction of food sources.
Pick your battles better.
No, but if the US decides to label you a felon for any reason, or no reason at all you can’t go to Canada.
Notice how the US Government is declaring the anti-elon stuff to be terrorism? Do you remember what Edward Snowden showed us about the type of spying that the US is capable of, and authorized to do in the name of ‘counter-terrorism’?
The US is about to invent a lot of new ‘felons’ and ‘terrorists’ and other countries, including Canada, will deny them entry and asylum.
France doesn’t extradite if death penalty or bad shit like this is on the table. So there is a strong chance you wouldn’t get deported these days even as a “sans papier” (illégal alien). Is Canada not similar?
No. When there were large bunches of refuges trying to escape from camps from the middle east, Canada refused entry to any any male 16 years or older for asylum. Women and small children were okish, but males were right fucked and flat refused. And I think that’s still on the books yet today.
Canada, for all the “feel good” they have from others in the world, has as much history of cruelty to outsiders as any other western nation. And don’t look to closely into why the Geneva Convention exists today either. They just hide it better.
Well, young guys that are not immediately employable are gonna be super difficult to integrate, to be fair. It sounds like a recipe for disaster unless you have a solid way to help them and what country actually has that, really?
So if you have no skills, you need not apply. Just starve and die where you are or perhaps be killed outright by others. But the US is expected to take in 1000s of such people right?
See, you are no better than the US in many ways. You just have a better PR team…
France refused asylum to Snowden when the US thew their weight around
He wasn’t in France at the time, though. Once you’re in, though, we’re not supposed to kick you out if we know you might get killed. This may actually have evolved in recent years, sadly.
But diplomacy is a bitch yeah.
I reckon it would be a very different answer if he made his request right now, though!
Canada has the same policy. It was challenged and allowed to lapse by Harper, though, IIRC. I wouldn’t bet my life on it today.
I absolutely disagree with all this garbage, and I refuse to leave. I played chess with a Venezuelan homie in a shelter several times and i think one time he pretended to lose his queen, because he always otherwise destroyed me. I guess i shouldn’t worry anymore, because why would i care if my friend was sent away
With due process you say?
I really wish this were an exaggeration.
As someone in the US, believe me, I do too.
It’s not. We have a catch and release police for most offences.
Like finishing we only keep you if it’s a big one.
I want you to read the post and then the original comment again
Slowly
It’s so fucking wild how you guys have the confidence to lie constantly, to everyone you meet, about everything. That kind of blind confidence exclusively comes from low intellect people.
No, you’ll do something worse. You’ll send me back to America. :(
So you’re saying there’s a chance?
But we will sterilize you without your permission if you are a native!
And don’t complain about losing your land for a pipeline.
“lethal overwatch is req’d” “use as much violence toward the gate as you want”
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/dec/20/canada-indigenous-land-defenders-police-documentsWill you do that for non natives too? Asking for me
Get a good tan and I’m sure they will find time for you.
I am tan, and a free Song and dance is appealing. Tell me more
Proof we still do this to any indigenous people at any time in the 21st century?
https://nwac.ca/policy/forced-sterilization
Despite legislation Indigenous women allege they were coerced into consenting to sterilization, often during vulnerable moments such as childbirth, from the mid 1970s onwards.[64] In June 2021, the Standing Committee on Human Rights in Canada found that compulsory sterilization is ongoing in Canada and its extent has been underestimated.[65] A bill was introduced to Parliament in 2024 to end the practice.[66]

Yeah, but foreign visitors wouldn’t have to worry about that.

Well… There was that time the RCMP provided bogus, seemingly fabricated information to the CIA resulting in Meher Arar’s extraordinary rendition and ten months of torture. For no obvious reason.
Sorry to be a pedant, but it’s Salvadoran, not “El Salvadorian”.
You guys taking electricians? I’m pretty sure I can chug syrup, and I can start using “eh” more, eh?
Most trades are provincial jurisdiction (including electricians), so pick a province and look at their requirements for foreign trained electricians.
For example, to get your ticket in Ontario you’ll need to look into the trade 309A (Construction and Maintenance Electrician) or 442A (Industrial Electrician), verify your work experience, and take an equivalency exam to test your knowledge. I’d recommend reading up on CEC requirements (very similar to NEC but there are differences).
https://www.skilledtradesontario.ca/experienced-workers/trade-equivalency-assessment/
Excellent. This is exactly the kind of advice I’ve been looking for. Thank you!
No problem!
I should also mention that electricians are part of the federal Red Seal program, so once you’re licensed you can pretty easily move provinces without needing to recertify (though you still have to register with that province’s trades regulator and follow their regulations instead).
You joke, but that shit is infectious.
Don’t know about electricians specifically but AFAIK we have a general shortage of skilled trades related to construction so I wouldn’t be surprised if we are short on electricians too. You’d probably have to do some recertification.
Yes.
Does this imply there is a Canadian process to throw people into an El Salvadorian Gulag?
They’re called “residential schools” in Canada.
The last residential school closed in 1997 and the government has since profusely apologized for their part in this disgusting history. Where is evidence this is still carrying on in the 21st century?
Here’s a report from human rights watch: https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2023/country-chapters/canada
Nothing in there is stating the government is murdering indigenous people and burying them in mass graves.
Only during war time when they get feeling like Geneva checklist.
