Part 1 of the ATA amended the Criminal Code to create a new chapter dealing specifically with terrorism. A core provision in this chapter is the definition of "terrorist activity", which has two components and applies to activities inside or outside Canada. Satisfying either component constitutes a "terrorist activity".

The first component of the definition is defined in part as an act or omission committed in or outside Canada that would be an offence under the major international treaties that apply to terrorist activities, like hijacking and terrorist bombing.

The second part defines "terrorist activity" as an act or omission undertaken, inside or outside Canada, for a political, religious or ideological purpose that is intended to intimidate the public with respect to its security, including its economic security, or to compel a person, government or organization (whether inside or outside Canada) from doing or refraining to do any act, and that intentionally causes one of a number of specified forms of serious harm.

Lincoln tricked racist northerners into dying in a war against the most heinous form of slavery the world has ever seen, and he still doesn't pass your purity test. Fucking wild.

Lincoln himself did not personally own slaves, but he was absolutely complicit as a President in maintaining the institution of slavery.

This is maybe the most absolutely deranged thing I have ever read.

I'm very sympathetic, but if they believe you are a digital identity thief/extortionist they would have cut power to stop a

shred

from destroying the evidence of your hacking.

I get that posting that information is a way to draw attention to the vulnerability of people to have their identities stolen, and so in that sense might be defensible as free speech. It must have been very scary. I expect the police will say their priority was to secure evidence prior to arresting you and explaining what was going on.

I hope you are safe and can continue to advocate for freedom.

Yes but I think socks were inherently a luxury item. I believe most people used footwraps if anything at all.

The people are JD's boss. JD is a public servant. He is not Trump's servant.

I caught that too. Trump can't fire JD right? He is elected by the people, he can be impeached and removed similarly to the president, he can't be fired by Trump.

I'm too often reminded of this song by propagandhi:

Is this what we deserve:

to scrub the palace floors,

to fight amongst our selves,

as we scramble for the crumbs they spit up?

Frothing at the.. mouth about the...

scapegoats that they've chosen for us

With every racist pointed finger I hear the goose steps getting closer.

If they no longer represent us,

is it not our obligation... to confront this tyranny?

My family is from Quebec's Eastern Townships, which used to have a much larger English-speaking population...

...But doesn't anymore because of institutionalised cultural superiority.

It's a bit strange to see roads split between two line items like that.

If your car development team can be transferred to AI developement you weren't building much of a car.

I'm not a law talking guy, this isn't the law, and it isn't ethical best practice but it might help people understand the reasonableness of the poster.

I believe it's true that drunk people can't consent. I think that what juries are likely to actually care about is the question:

Did the accused have the reasonable belief that the plaintiff would consent to sex while sober?

If you're in a police interview or a trial and are asked:

What made you think the plaintiff consented to your actions?

And all you can say without perjuring yourself is:

I vaguely recall that they seemed kinda into it, and they didn't say no, oh! and they didn't fight back.

You're going to have a bad time. ESPECIALLY if you've been drinking, because it will be easier to question the reasonableness of your belief in their consent.

This poster is clearly meant for a place similar to a university dormitory.

This poster is bad because: it makes the law seem lopsided, and perpetuates sexist ideas about gender and sex.

The poster is good because: unfortunately, too many men think that if a girl is drunk at a place where he thinks the girls are looking for drunk hookups, that she consents to whatever she doesn't fight (and maybe more). Too many men misunderstand consent and have dangerous ideas about what women really want. It's much better they be scared into over thinking whether they're risking arrest than that they rape somebody.

Obviously more nuance is good, but if you're trying to stop drunk 18 year olds from raping/being raped, taping up a poster like this in the stairwell is more effective than taping up an essay.

I seem to recall Diogenes replied:

Likewise: if I were not Diogenes I too would wish I were Diogenes
