But who is targeting the lack of pension for many ordinary Canadians?

I understand the optimisation. The hospitals must be happy, but if I were a nurse (or doctor), this would make me nervous.

Any good healthcare professional would still want to look over the results, even if an obvious flag wasn’t raised.

To me, it’s just good practice (as a patient).

Or maybe they still do, and this system is simply a reducency safety check.

I think it can be useful in predicting a diagnosis months/years before a doctor would be able to, since it can analyze data and look for patterns across millions of cases. This would be especially useful in rare diseases, or even something like dementia.

But using it to tell a nurse or doctor that their patient’s white blood counts are “really, really high” after being bitten by an animal is borderline insulting to healthcare professionals.

but a tool that takes away the toil of monitoring

Ok, so Lifelabs posts patient lab results online for them to see. They CLEARLY mark “high” and “low” for items that are out of range (of the norm).

A nurse would quite literally crosscheck 50 blood markers in a matter of seconds, without the need for expensive AI or at a risk of them losing their job/qualifications.

In this specific case, the fever + high WBC would be more than enough for a nurse to know that something was up. It makes me think that adding AI just adds another step.

I’m not saying that the application of AI to detect abnormalities is wasteful, but I do think it’s unnecessary and possibly a negative in the context of basic lab work.

That warning showed the patient’s white blood cell count was “really, really high,” recalled Bell, the clinical nurse educator for the hospital’s general medicine program.

I’m not a doctor, but even an idiot would know when a WBC is “really, really high” and assume infection. I mean, shit, "suffering from a cat bite and a fever, but otherwise appeared fine "… um, a cat bite AND A FEVER… red flag!

“It’s not replacing the nurse at the bedside; it’s actually enhancing your nursing care.”

I would argue that this would make nurses less important, and would make them “lazy” by not giving them opportunities to identify these simple things on a regular basis.

Would a nurse who doesn’t know what a very high WBC entails be paid less? I would think so.

I can see AI/machine learning used in very complex cases where a human HCP would simply not have the number-crunching capability to find a diagnosis, but this was not that case.

Are you saying that to diminish her crime, or to highlight the violations against her by the guards?

Both are still separate issues and should be treated as such.

100%. But this should be completely separate from the fact that she still murdered another human being (by stabbing him to death in a group swarming) and didn’t get nearly enough for the justice system to show that it values human lives.

This malfeasance should punish the guard(s), not reward a murderer.

Make no mistake. I understand exactly the game they are playing.

I would NOT sign a petition like this, even if I agree with most of it.

Because I completely understand that the true motive is to remove flags that support marginalised groups in our country.

But you are correct that they idea of including reasonable points, is exactly to attract reasonable people or to legitimise the rest of it.

our police barracades have the names of banks on them. Its advertising revenue, but to me it looks like “the police are brought to you by…”

Oh god. Like a sports team? LOL

there should be no decorations on municipal crosswalks

You could make an argument that crosswalks should be painted a standard colour with expected markings, since it’s a safety/accessibility issue that that point.

or displaying of flags supporting political, social, or religious movements or commercial entities

The people who put the package together lumped everything into the same category.

Sure, we should NOT have religious flags on our government buildings. By that token, we should remove any and all religion from those buildings and any texts, too. No mention of God, especially.

Commercial entities? Yeah, they don’t belong on government flag poles.

Political? I’d need an example. I would not want to see the flag of various parties on a government building. That’s just inappropriate.

But social movements? They stay. I WANT my local, provincial, and federal governments to show support for marginalized groups. That includes our LGBTQ, indigenous, disabled, visible minorities, etc.

I’m proud to see our local fire and police vehicles with rainbow flag stickers on them.

Separate the hate from the reasonable, and this petition might not seem so ass backwards.

“A few stakeholders were concerned that the release of the report would result in new legal action (criminal prosecution, citizen revocation, or otherwise) being brought against the individuals named in the report,” a summary of the library’s discussions noted.

Bro, WTF? Are these “stakeholders” also Nazis? Release their names, too.

Jesus Christ, let the Canadian public know who they are, and prosecute them as war criminals. Time does not invalidate what the Nazis did, and any that are still alive should still face the consequences of their actions.

Fortunately, the weapon of choice was a motor vehicle. The driver will be scolded, allowed to drive again in less than 24h, and the victim will likely get blamed for this. /s

It’s easier to buy alcohol in Ontario than fresh fruit and vegetables. SMH

Yes, what they should be. And you are right, there’s no protection for law abiding citizens who are the victims. All benefit goes to criminals, and our “10 strikes and we’ll give you another chance” way of doing things is clearly not in favour for the rest of us.

I wouldn’t want violence to be the answer to anything, but if balanced and appropriate force is needed to safely retrieve your property, then you should be protected by law.

For example, if you’re going to get your stolen bike back, you should be 100% legally protected if the dickwad who stole is needs to be restrained (for your safety), or if their backyard gate needs to be broken open.

And if the dickwad decides to use violence, you should be 100% protected for using self-defence.

The caveat, of course, is that you better be damn sure that someone is in possession of your property, and that appropriate force, if necessary, is used.

If it turns out that you violated someone’s rights or broke into the wrong property, you should have to face consequences.

I fully support citizens stepping in to fight crime if they are willing and able.

If you knew where your stolen property was, you should have automatic legal protection for whatever it takes to get it back.

It’s crazy to have a taxpayer funded criminal and legal system that isn’t working for them.

featured a speech delivered by leader Pierre Poilievre from the Calgary Stampede.

Gotta hand it to the Cons. They are totally confident platforming from one of Canada’s historically shameful, and outwardly cruel (Examples 1 2 3) “entertainment events” as if Canada needs to go backwards 100 years.

There’s something about being in a metal cage, seeing the world only through glass, that changes people.

Most drivers act as if they are interacting with the world through the internet. Basically, being in a car turns them into assholes.

I’m not understanding.

The eligibility is a family net income less than $90,000 and no current dental insurance.

What part do you not quality on?

Never tried those, but if that’s what they’ve done, I guess the Crunchy are next. They’ve been having promos for them for some time, and that usually leads to some rage-inducing change.
