Canada@lemmy.ca•Doctor Removed From Ontario Medical Association AGM for Refusing to Take Off Watermelon Pin
1·12 days agoThere is a very big difference between internal politics and outside politics. Of course an AGM is filled with the politics of the organization. However a political statement that has nothing to do with medicine has no place at an OMA AGM.

911·14 days agoThe fact that he is making a very big issue over this pin is, I posit, sufficient evidence that the entire purpose of the pin was to make a political statement. I completely agree that an AGM of the OMA is NOT the place to make political statements. It is a medical conference, not a political convention. It goes to the root of the entire purpose behind the Hippocratic Oath - to serve equally without malice or prejudice.

16·25 days agoKevin O’Leary? Is he still considered a Canadian? I thought he had pretty much sold his soul to America.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Russia and U.S. amplifying Alberta separatist narratives to stoke division, distrust: report
2·26 days agoQuebec actually had a solid plan for post-separation during their referendum. They had their act together much better than the Alberta separatists. But back then, it was not an issue of America, Russia, or China interfering, it was outright flagrant and in-your-face interference by De Gaulle.

Canada@lemmy.ca•AI systems used by Ontario doctors hallucinate, auditor general finds
5·27 days ago‘The auditor general said artificial intelligence had helped with editing and “supporting” her reports — but that they were “by no means written by AI.”’
So the report criticizing AI was in part processed by AI.
But I wonder what the medical qualifications of the auditor general are? It seems to me such a report should be written by someone who brings a strong medical perspective to the issues.

Canada@lemmy.ca•‘Not a single one’: After 100 applications, a 28-year-old still can’t find work
1·29 days agoWhat was implied just after that was that he had absolutely no skills or experience in construction. Seems he is looking in the wrong place. Best bet for him is probably Community College skills upgrading.

Canada@lemmy.ca•‘Not a single one’: After 100 applications, a 28-year-old still can’t find work
22·30 days agoA degree does NOT necessarily qualify you. A BA in Psychology is not marketable, for instance.
You go to Community College to get a job, you go to University to get an education, There is a VERY big difference between the two.

Canada@lemmy.ca•‘Not a single one’: After 100 applications, a 28-year-old still can’t find work
168·30 days ago“For a couple of years, Mahmoudian worked as a home energy advisor — a self-contractor who says he used to put in 70-hour weeks. However, most of the government incentives that sustained that work, including the Canada Greener Homes Loan program, have ended, and business has dried up”
That paragraph says an awful lot, if you read what is NOT said. Reads like he made his money in the past by sweet talking people into applying for government handouts. Government money dried up, and he has no skills to work at a ‘real’ job.
I really think they picked the wrong person to highlight in the article to make their point.

It is actually probably a GOOD thing this was not done ten years ago. Back then, it would have been bought out by an American firm in short order. Now, there is little stomach for selling out to the Americans. Today, this has a really good chance of remaining Canadian,

Canada@lemmy.ca•Michael Kovrig slams Canada-China EV deal as a national security threat
161·2 months agoMichael Kovrig, when he was arrested by the Chinese, was working for all intenents and purposes under the auspices of the American State Department, for American (not Canadian) interests. One might suggest that he had sold out to America. I suggest that he was more American than Canadian in his ‘politics’. It still seems that he is spouting American State Department propaganda when it comes to his comments on Canada’s relationship with China.
Canada needs a foreign policy stance that reflects Canada’s interests, not the American State Department.


Mark Carney knows money, and how to make it grow. He favors the best return on investment. Strange how that could be construed as favoring the wealthy and privileged.
