  • Owners ordered to pay $100K in wages say they didn't know foreign workers were employed at their hotel

  • I think it's worthwhile to catch up to the many years of reporting and documentation on this topic:

    https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-life-in-the-shadows-inside-the-world-of-torontos-undocumented-migrants/

    Toronto’s undocumented migrants – most of whom initially entered the country legally – grapple with substandard employment

    https://amnesty.ca/temporary-foreign-workers-report/

    Exploitation, discrimination and abuse are integral features, not bugs, of the Temporary Foreign Worker program

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/migrant-workers-rescued-york-toronto-1.6767167

    A single foreign worker blew the lid off a massive international trafficking ring north of Toronto, police say

    'This is the new slavery’: Migrant farm workers underpaid, abused and injured

    nearly 80,000 migrants worked in agricultural jobs under Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program

  • I think it's worthwhile to read the article. There's mention of LMIAs, immigration consultants, etc.

    These are people that were taken advantage of by shady consultants and bad employers. They weren't of proper legal status for a reason.

    However, Padilla Ruiz's labour market impact assessment — a document an employer often needs before hiring a foreign worker — listed him as a "housekeeping attendant" at a different Western Star hotel in Esterhazy, Sask.

  • Check the privacy laws in your country. If in Europe, you can have the services disconnected. Looks like a Renault so sometimes cars manufactured in the EU will come built in with the ability to turn off the feature.

    Car data privacy is the worst there is today and will get much worse with timd. Mozilla foundation put out a report recently

  • How to use AI?

    Jump

  • What's your threat model and what do you want the AI to do?

    Does it need an internet connection? Do you have to use a service rather than the dataset/model? Do you have a machine powerful enough to run it locally? Is it for work or personal use? Why do you have to create an account to use your work's Claude subscription?

  • "Israel's broadening war" - they mean ethnic cleansing, right? Because Israel has been doing the "Gaza treatment" to the south of Lebanon and demolishing entire villages, churches, mosques, schools, etc.

  • I still see it - if you're pressing on the imgur link and use a VPN (or similar) then it might not work because imgur blocks VPN. If you press on the image icon, then it should work in the app (usually)

  • This will force many of those to upgrade their current technology (which also helps Roger/Fido because they offer the upgrading services) or pay the fee.

  • Don't fall for the hasbara that Israel spreads.

    Hamas is only one of many resistance groups in Gaza. And the ideologies range massively from far left to far right. It's how they're able to sustain a prolonged resistance against Israel's constant aggression.

    Focusing on Hamas's leadership - they have been mostly centrist and advocate for equal rights of all, with outliers that are more right wing and Israel repeatedly kills off the moderates in the party for a reason. Israel wants the hardwingers to be more prominent. Israel even wanted to bring back Ahmedenijad as president of Iran and that guy is the poster child of "death to the infidels".

    You're also equating Palestinians with Hamas too, don't do that.

  • Hmmm...i wonder what went wrong with an ethnocentric nationalist political ideology that was created in the mid-late 1800s. It's almost like something similar to that in an established state already tried to implement it to the detriment of many people.

  • It's definitely important to see what the PM decides to focus on and communicate. Canadians need to be more politically involved rather than avoid their political leaders.
