You can come back from a ban much faster than a probe so it's not the worst thing to happen.

Don't worry about it, we'll get another crack at it in a few days. In the meantime, let's sit back and watch officials and corporations embarrass themselves with shows of performative grief over the discovery of yet more proof that Canada is a genocidal wasteland flakeloaf fucked around with this message at 21:52 on May 30, 2021 |

Canuckistan posted:I got my Pfizer shot in late April through a PEI Public Health clinic and have yet to be contacted by PEI Public Health for a second shot. Meanwhile, pharmacies are now giving Moderna shots and immediately booking 2nd shot appointments for about 5 weeks out. It's very likely that people getting their first Moderna shot today will have their second shot before I get mine. Yeah, I got mine about 3 weeks ago and still no sign of a second appointment. Just let me book online again like the first time, I'm not sure why they've added this complexity of being contacted for a second shot.

I had to enter a password from a verification email but when I tried to access said email it closed down the app and because the app was closed down it started from the beginning again so I had to request another verification email that I could access on another device so not to close to the BC service card app. Then I had to send a video claiming who I was to get verification which took a few a hours and of course within those few hours the app closed down again meaning I had to request a new verification code via email and take a new video to prove I was who I said I was

Not sure I want to know all the drugs I've been on over the years, nevermind the government.  I installed the BC Services phone app in a desperate attempt to access my CCRA records (you can log in using it instead of the usual CCRA passkeys and whatnot). It could be that the CCRA website is allergic to my browser and the various ad blockers I run, but whatever it was the BC Services app worked and I can get in now. The wonders of government programming never cease. edit: ChickenDoodle posted:Now if the BC Services card worked on my iPhone and not only on my iPad that’d be amazing. But apparently it’s not been working for iOS phone users for months. How odd. I'm glad my wife and I didn't know that when we installed and ran it on her iPhone this afternoon. Won't receive the final clearance email until tomorrow so there's still time for it to blow up, I guess. Hexigrammus fucked around with this message at 02:58 on May 31, 2021 |

redbrouw posted:Let's make fun of truth and reconciliation in the thread title, terrific idea I read it as making fun of our government's pathetic attempt at truth and reconciliation, rather than the concept itself. Not only was the TRC significantly limited in scope (residential schools mostly), but they've barely implemented 10% of the calls to action since the release of the final report. It has been pointed out that even having 'reconciliation' in the name is a bit of a stretch, implying that there were ever good relations between colonizers and indigenous peoples and that the schools were just a sad interruption to said relations.

As others have noted, the TRC asked the government for $1.5m back in 2009 to do the exact sort of research that has now uncovered these additional murdered children (ground-penetrating radar looking for unmarked graves surrounding residential schools), and the government said no. To me there's maybe no better encapsulation of how limited the TRC process was than that.

Hexigrammus posted:The wonders of government programming never cease. My uncle worked on the BC services card project and would bring it up at family dinners. Apparently it supports access controls that allow some cool features. e.g. The merchant at the liquor store doesn’t need to know your address, birthday, or even your name. They need to know that you’re of legal drinking age and that it’s actually you standing in front of them, so you scan your card and they only get a yes/no to sell the booze and your photo and physical features to verify returned from the government database. The queries are logged for auditing and the clerk hasn’t skimmed your other info for identity fraud. At least, it was designed for scenarios like this. When we see it is another story. Not that they could roll this out quickly enough, but you can see how this system could work as a vaccine passport.

Following up on the fact that the government denied funding in 2009 for further investigation of residential schools the tweet author followed up by finding that there was funding added in 2016 when the government changed. https://twitter.com/dgardner/status/1399364223478767635?s=20

Now I guess the apology Harper issued for residential schools makes more sense. People asking for relatively paltry sums to understand the scope of the crimes that were committed? gently caress that, how about some words worth $0 instead?

As much as I think it's important to actually find the bodies of these victims, I can't shake the feeling that some people are focusing on the wrong aspect of this. This wasn't a mystery, we knew children were being neglected, abused and killed because survivors told us. The discovery of mass graves that resulted from this is outrageous, and it's a sad reminder of what went on, but it shouldn't be a surprise unless you a) didn't believe the stories or b) imagined that all the bodies of the victims simply vanished into non-existence. These children were dead long before the graves were found, and we knew they were dead because someone killed them, someone buried them, and a bunch of other children knew, and watched, and remembered even if they couldn't do anything about it. They told their stories, those stories have been documented, and the shock at the discovery of these graves has a distinct whiff of "oh my god, I didn't think they were telling the whole truth!"

It was just stories before. Stories are much easier to ignore than the bones of potentially thousands of children. Check all the schools. Find all the bones. Give them an honorable burial. And create a national day of loving shame. Make sure it's known we are no better than king Leopold or any of the other colonial monsters. The national mythos of the "nice" Canadian should be buried with those kids.

Ontario population 14.5 million - 916 new COVID cases today Manitoba population 1.3 million - 303 new COVID cases today (and that number will actually be higher due to technical issues). Still no meaningful restrictions being enacted, despite anyone with half a brain actively calling for them. In addition to having transferred 35 patients to out of province ICUs due to the MB Cons healthcare cuts, there's a pretty good chance there will be a nursing strike shortly due to the Pallister government's insulting offer of a 4% wage rollback where a full time nurse would be required to pay back about $20,000 of wages from the last 4+ years. Nurses have been without a contract for 4+ years now. I am eagerly awaiting Pallister and his cronies to denounce the nurses for being selfish and not being on Team Manitoba, or some other such poo poo.
