I’m getting increasingly uncomfortable with François-Philippe Champagne’s record… There may not be proof of personal corruption, but there are enough conflict-of-interest and oversight concerns that people should be paying closer attention: the Alto situation involving his partner, federal funding received by his father’s company while a conflict screen was supposedly in place, and the massive SDTC governance failure under his department.

Now the government is eliminating the Underused Housing Tax and the luxury tax on private aircraft and expensive vessels.

Who benefits from that? Foreign owners of underused Canadian homes, wealthy buyers of private planes and yachts, and the industries selling those assets. Ordinary Canadians receive little or no direct benefit, while the government gives up hundreds of millions in revenue.

That’s literally exactly what Chinese researchers are doing at DeepSeek and they’ve built frontier models with that philosophy

Looks promising! Glad to see there’s a group active in Canada!

I’m a 4th year computer science student, what can I do to support tech Unions?

It does seem like wildly unregulated territory, unfortunately.

I have ideas I’ve brainstormed though:

Minimum number of moderaters once a certain user threshold has been reached (So if you have above 1k-5k users, you need a minimum of 2 or 3 mods)?

Ability to report servers for incompetent moderation?

There’s a line eventually where discord stops being a place where “friends hang out” and becomes a platform to engage with a community.

That’s the point where moderation should be regulated.

Just my two cents anyway.

on a rather unrelated side note,

It’s actually possible to make your own post instead of derailing the topic

Guys, while we’re at it… Is there any discord alternative that has some kind of safe guarding against power tripping mods?

Yeah, but why not? I enjoy having access to the game within the same 10 minutes I buy it…

Now downloading, that’s a different story.

I’m interested…
