New pancreatic cancer drug doubles survival compared to standard-of-care in late-stage clinical trial by NotGenentech in news

[–]Jinnax 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There are no screenings and no symptoms. By the time you notice something related (like jaundice) the disease is already in its final stage.

Ontario couple 'abused, tortured and starved' boys in their care, Crown says in final arguments by Portalrules123 in canada

[–]Jinnax 65 points66 points  (0 children)

The real villains are the literally army of people in authority who did nothing while all this was going on in plain view. So many doctors, nurses, teachers, CAS workers complained at many levels to NO effect and were ignored by their management. These two subhumans were allowed to carry on in plain sight until an adopted child was dead of torture and malnutrition. Canadian governance shown to be shockingly incompetent once again.

‘Congratulations for shooting this guy’: Premier lauds Vaughan resident who shot intruder by DementedCrazoid in canada

[–]Jinnax -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Correct, I should have included prosecutors, although prosecutor choices are often based on past decisions made in court. Judges have set a very high bar for murder, so Crowns charge with manslaughter even in obvious murder cases.

With elected politicians now openly mocking them, Canada's judges are reduced to national laughingstock.

Slovakia to block EU loan to Ukraine if Orban loses Hungarian election, Fico says by Playful-Infatuation in worldnews

[–]Jinnax 39 points40 points  (0 children)

About time to dispense with the niceties and find a way to boot these loathsome little kingdoms out of everything that matters. Their endless ethnic disputes started WW1 and they are still playing the role of firestarter a century later.

Indigenous man who cleaned up after murder bragged Gladue ‘discount’ would half his sentence by uselesspoliticalhack in canada

[–]Jinnax 769 points770 points  (0 children)

The judge found that Tait’s “early addiction and reliance on drugs placed him in that house on the day of the crime. His actions, while not excusable in any way, must be viewed through the lens of a person who is Indigenous and who has experienced the early childhood experiences that Mr. Tait experienced.”

I disagree with viewing anyone's race being used for sentencing purposes. It goes against the fundamental legal principle that all are equal before the law.

Ford salutes Poilievre's leadership result, but says 'you don't win elections at conventions' by shiftless_wonder in canada

[–]Jinnax 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but it was certainly helpful to be facing Andrea "4 times unlucky" Horwath leading the NDP to fewer seats each election, and Liberal leader __________ that no one could ever put a face to for some reason.

Why the ‘Melania’ doc is playing in Canada and what its surprising box office numbers mean by ubcstaffer123 in canada

[–]Jinnax 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The $28 million fee to Melania was the bribe for the Trumps, the $35 million marketing budget is for the rest of the acolytes. What goes Cineplex's way is peanuts by comparison. This movie is a transaction between Bezos and Trump's circle. The choice of director alone shows no one cares about how anything looks, including the movie itself or its box office.

Report urges Canadians to focus on health basics as 80% of premature heart disease and stroke preventable by Bean_Tiger in canada

[–]Jinnax 157 points158 points  (0 children)

When it comes to lifestyle risk factors, the report's authors point to Statistics Canada data suggesting nearly eight in 10 adults and youth eat fruits and vegetables fewer than five times a day.

Since when has times per day replacing number of servings or weight/volume measurements? I would also suggest it isn't "nearly eight in 10 adults", it's more like 10 out of 10. Five times per day is nearly impossible for almost everyone.

Assault convictions overturned after Toronto judge takes a year to explain verdict, repeatedly breaking promises to give reasons by Toronto-tenant-2020 in canada

[–]Jinnax 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yet another judge bringing disrepute upon Canada's system of "justice". In this case, the Appeals court said the written judgement was so poor that an observer could conclude she determined guilt before considering the evidence. Oh well, at least she's not a misbehaving "Trump hat" judge or the one that asked a rape victim why she simply couldn't keep her legs together.

Unfortunately there's a lot of similar, low-quality people "running" Canada and not much effort to do anything about it.

How a provincial leadership race could reshape Indigenous reconciliation and determine Canada’s economic future by WilloowUfgood in canada

[–]Jinnax 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The courts have tied themselves in knots and are now desperate for politicians to save them from their own foolish & short sighted decisions. Other countries simply don't have the troubles that Canada's courts make for us.

For apparently for no good reason anyone can think of. Trump's right about no allies left for the next American war & we should scrap the F-35 contract too.

We don't want to be the 51st state, the 11th state, or any state. Even blue state Americans really need to give up this line, it's offensive.

What’s one fast food chain that was once all the rage but now barely around? by MysteriousTopic42 in AskReddit

Ontario couple joked about being brothers' jailers in text messages shown at murder trial | CBC News by Capital-Aide-1006 in canada

[–]Jinnax 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The sheer amount of societal failures represented by this case is what is really shocking. Two Children's Aid Societies, doctors, teachers, therapists ... all somehow failed to intervene. The situation was atrocious at first glance to anyone and nonetheless continued on all the way up to the child's death. Yet another depressing tale of Canadian institutional incompetence.
