  • Isn't this also missing the point? Is what a judge thought before the case was heard relevant? Surely a court case involves presenting facts from both sides and arguing the case and not prejudging the case as if they were there before the start and before the case was heard. I think technically the judge would have to recuse himself.

  • What I am unclear about, as a non Canadian, is what the ruling means. For instance is there anything about the ruling, as it stands, to prevent or impede the government, in any way, from invoking the emergency act in future as long as they have a majority in parliament? If the ruling has no teeth why does the government care about it. Why even appeal it?

  • So you are fluent in Russian language?

    I know that the election process is gamed to some degree even if it's not Trump style.

    Trying to get straight answers out of candidates or parties is near impossible and I've tried. They simply ignore my emails and if in person, at the market stalls, they do the same.

    What is the current status of the Canadian constitution?

    Is it purely advisory or does it have some teeth? Have their been any cases where the constitution has affected the outcome of a court decision?

  • I thought I would just chime in here if I am allowed. I looked for an official Facebook lemmy but couldn't find one.

    I have become a bit satisfied with Facebook as of late. They used to allow tools for embedding social pages into private websites and whilst technically they still do their level of support for such seems to have plummeted to non existent. I don't know if that is a conscious effort by Meta to close down forum support or whether it is because they are moving more towards a "pay to play" business model. This in, my opinion, suddenly erects a huge barrier to entry, to even get started developing with their platform. It would seem to me it would have been more prudent, as a business model, to provide free support to get started but start charging when their products are established or at least have some way to talk to a support person.

    What I am saying, in a roundabout way, is maybe the world is ready for a decent alternative, even in the business space, and Facebook no longer seems to be it. I really can't understand how their support has collapsed so badly for developers.

  • You’re a foreigner but all your lemmy posts are about Canadian politics and your link is to a campaign video for Pierre Poilievre?

    Correct. I am from and in New Zealand. I joined up on lemmy.ca because you seem to be affiliated with more communities than what the NZ lemmy is.

    How bad is the cost of living crisis in Canada?

    I watched this YouTube video https://youtu.be/WP-ktk7Tt6w?si=hnKOC08_KYGn8UBW

    How bad is it over there and how widespread? As a foreigner I thought my country was bad. How bad is it for people on average wages? Is it really hard to pay the rent and put food on the table or is that just a small minority who don't know how to manage their money?

  • If there are supply side shortages wouldn't that make the inflation rate higher? I would imagine it would at least affect the PPI as import shortages impact supply prices and that could still trickle through to the CPI.

    Is the Canadian inflation rate really back at 2.8% ?

    As a foreigner who follows the Canadian news I saw on https://www.ctvnews.ca/business/economists-expect-rise-in-inflation-as-price-growth-fight-enters-new-phase-1.6517322 that the Canadian inflation rate is 2.8% which surprised me as in our country it is around 7%.

    If so then how did Trudeau do it? How did he soak up all the money he printed during Covid?

    Does that mean that housing and cost of living pressure has also been eased?

    Would like to know your thoughts.

    Does David Seymour come across as to smarmy?

    Admittedly I don't know Acts policies well but their leader I find a bit of a turnoff. He looks like a grinning goblin to me.

    What is cost of living like in Canada?

    I guess it depends on province but I heard you have high inflation over there. How is it affecting the average person over there?

    Could this Lemmy be shut down by bill C18?

    It seems that Google and Facebook are pulling their news departments from Canada because of C18. Could that also potentially shut down this Lemmy? In fact I notice that Canadian forums are hard to find at the moment.

    Would like some feedback on a project

    I've been working on a way of analysing a page of text stored in image format (a PNG file) to try and break the text up into normal text, separated text, mathematical equations and things that are just diagrams. I post it here so that hopefully I might get some feedback.

    I posted this previously in Reddit but it didn't get a lot of traction or start much of a discussion. I am hoping I might here.

    I am by no means an expert in Javascript. My language of choice has been in Python but there was no good way of getting visual feedback quickly and easily as to how well my algorithm was working.

    At the moment the whole thing is experimental and more of a proof of concept. In the future I am hoping it will be able to analyse uploaded PDFs and convert them to a combination of paragraph text (possibly using something like Tesseract) and for the mathematical equations to AsciiMath or Latex using something like MathPix. Then I would be able to pass it into some kind of text to speech engine.
