A lot of AI researchers spent countless years debating the ethics of autonomous killing by AI and not nearly enough on AI assisted targeting for bombing campaigns. The atrocities are even worse. Over 100 dead school girls based on outdated maps and data.

The master race, ladies and gentlemen.

I'm trying to imagine the conversations they had on the way over, how this was going to go SO GREAT and she'd be TOTALLY SCARED and never say anything mean about them again.

Because they're big serious boys.

Oooooh they’re not taking this investigation well at all.

Maybe if you’re ashamed and enraged when the things you and your friends say and do are made public, you shouldn’t say and do said things?

Officer's Jeep seen with symbol β€˜appropriated by’ neo-Nazis, group says, after Hamilton police OK him to work | CBC News A Hamilton community group is calling for action after it says a resident discovered a police officer's vehicle is once again displaying a sticker β€œassociated with white nationalist extremism." Police...

The ongoing saga of Const. Renato Greco, an officer in the Hamilton Police Service and, apparently, an active white supremacist.

Not a great look for HPS, especially considering the rise of violent neo-fascist extremist groups in the region.

Have heard from an Iranian friend that her partner in Teheran has sent her a message. He is a leftist and is telling her that the US/Israelis are targeting a number of known leftists homes in Teheran and elsewhere in an attempt to make sure there's no opposition to their favoured candidate once they destroy the regime. What this reveals is the degree of penetration by Mossad in Iran. What it also means is that this is not going to be an easy occupation for the US and its Israeli buddies.

Office of the Prime Minister
Cabinet du

Statement by Prime Minister Carney and
Minister Anand on the situation in the Middle East
"The Canadian government is closely following Iran-related hostilities throughout the Middle East and urges all Canadians in Iran to shelter in place. Canadians in the wider region should follow local advice and take all necessary precautions.
Canada's position remains clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East, has one of the world's worst human rights records, and must never be allowed to obtain or develop nuclear weapons.
Canada and our international partners have consistently called upon the Iranian regime to end its nuclear program, including at the 2025 G7 Leaders' Summit in Kananaskis and with the United Nations' reimposition of sanctions in September.
Despite diplomatic efforts, Iran has neither fully dismantled its nuclear program, halted all enrichment activities, nor ended its support for regional terrorist proxy groups. Canada stands with the Iranian people in their long and courageous struggle against Iran's oppressive regime. Canada has listed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity, and has sanctioned 256 Iranian entities and 222 individuals in response to the regime's repression and its violence both against its own people, and persistently, beyond its borders. Canada reaffirms Israel's right to defend itself and to ensure the security of its people.
Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.
The Canadian government urges the protection of all civilians in this conflict. We will take all possible measures to protect our nationals and Canadian diplomatic missions throughout the region."

Well. For those of us wondering if he’d walk the walk of the Davos speech, this is a pretty big answer.

Nope.

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

White supremacist groups using other issues, conspiracies to grow support, warns Hamilton researcher | CBC News White supremacist groups are using issues of wider interest and disinformation to grow support β€” and that should be worrying, says a McMaster University professor in the wake of another demonstration ...

We've been seeing a lot of this in the Niagara - local fascists opportunistically seizing on a high-profile crime to push their organizations.

I despise people who abuse children... but I also don't think too highly of those who'll insert themselves into a family's tragedy just to build a brand.

Hamilton officer who shared racist, extremist posts remains with police service after investigation | CBC News Hamilton police say an investigation into an officer they suspended after he shared racist and extremist content on social media is complete and he remains employed in a β€œnon-public facing role.”

The Hamilton Police Service doing a fantastic job at
"zero tolerance for conduct eroding public trust calling their commitment to equitable policing into question."

#Sarcasm aside, I am unsurprised: Police in Ontario have no real accountability and HPS is one of the worst examples of the problem.

Why the longest-ever State of the Union address was the most inconsequential Amid Trump’s lies and xenophobic rants, people struggling to pay bills and make ends meet are unlikely to be moved

Yeah, this is why I didn't bother. 107 minutes of lies, gaslighting, racism and incoherence. I had better things to do, like trying to figure out why they added that post-credits scene to A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms (seriously, it added no value and spiked a major plot point from the novellas.)

We all know why they have no problem with some kinds of immigrants but want to harm other kinds.

"Folk Family Future" is an explicitly white supremacist motto.

Mealy-mouthed substitute terms like "remigration" are just an attempt to make "ethnic cleansing" sound more acceptable to the public.

Tracking Canada’s fascist fight clubs CBC’s visual investigations team reveals where some of Canada’s white nationalist 'active clubs' gather to prepare for violence.

CBC did a dive into these "active clubs" last year and its pretty clear that these people are planning violence. These fast banner-drop-and-disperse actions aren't just intimidation, they're training.

Soon it won't be just waving flags, it will be trashing an LGBTQ+ bookstore. Or a mosque.

'Deeply offensive': Hamilton mayor among those condemning white supremacist group's latest gathering | CBC News Hamilton's mayor and anti-racism advocates are among those condemning a white supremacist group's demonstration on the weekend outside city hall.

Those dismissing this with "well, they have the right to gather" are missing the point: The fascists are explicitly preparing for violence against minorities, especially racialized and queer people.

Simply declaring "hate has no place in #HamOnt" doesn't actually do anything to address the threat.

And once again the police and mayor wring their hands and bleat about "hate having no place in #HamOnt" and then do absolutely nothing about the problem.

These same scum in their masks and banners in front of City Hall in daylight are the one assaulting LGBTQ+ people on the streets after dark.

It's just like this now. Every single shooting that happens gets blamed on trans people. It spreads like wildfire even when it's a blatant lie.

Was just at Sankofa Square in Toronto to counter demonstrate against the anti-immigrant Canada First group. Important to remember these are proven white supremacist, and their ideology is dangerous and stupid, but also these wannabe alpha guys just look like total dork ass losers. 1/2
