Releasing names of 900 alleged Nazi war criminals who fled to Canada could embarrass federal government, bureaucrats told
Well, yeah.
Get two! I’m not sharing with Caitlin!
You can pay migrants low wages for less expensive food, or you can pay high wages to any citizens willing to work that hard for expensive food. This is not a new dilemma, red states in the US have tried multiple times to outlaw migrant farm labor and replace it with prison labor or other types of labor, and it has only resulted in several seasons’ worth of crops rotting in the fields.
Personally, I’d want the labor to be compensated fairly with benefits and proper wages, but then I don’t manage a farm and I don’t buy expensive food.
A conservative media push revealed to have russian origins?
Hm. How unusual.
Agreed. It gets really complicated at a certain point, and - again, arguing in good faith - it’s interesting to consider how people who don’t agree with slavery get caught up in the fight for it (and, likely, vice versa).
But, that’s for some other discussion.
It’s a fair point in a good faith argument.
I highly doubt the good faith of a school board restoring Confederate names though.
One of the people leading the charge to restore the schools’ names is Mike Scheibe, a father of two students at Ashby Lee and Civil War re-enactor, who is also the spokesperson for the Coalition for Better Schools, a local organisation that campaigned for the school board to change the names back.
. . . “But to be taught that everyone who fought for the Confederacy, or did this, or did that, is a racist slave holder, that’s all or nothing, and that really isn’t doing history justice,” he added.
Well, I’ll give him the point that he didn’t use the word “heritage”, so. Good job with that. However he did mention something about justice.
Yeah you messed up, h00min.
Good job Canada!
I understand. It was particularly galling to me that they doubled down on the report after the initial backlash on it. It came out after that that they hadn’t used the Ukranian teams to write it and had interviewed POWs in russian detention for source references which is inherently problematic for a couple of reasons.
This Wikipedia entry neatly summarizes a lot of the criticisms at the time and AI’s response which was weak, to say the least. Because of the incredibly tense nature of the active war in Ukraine and how this report would obviously be interpreted, plus the effective doubling-down AI chose to follow the report with - I just can’t with them anymore.
It’s a shame, I supported them for decades, but. They really fucked up.
It’s a shame I have zero trust or respect for Amnesty International these days. I’d bet there’s something to this story. But I won’t hear it from AI.
You mean people trying to get to the airport?
I wish they could figure out a better strategy than making people hate them.
“Justice” does not need to include justice, Ohio Supreme Court rules.
YES.
Thank you.
