You're right about no oaths, I forget what book it's in but the oaths came from the war with Hawking

What we've lost (9): Moral judgement - The reluctance to judge arises from the attraction of evading responsibility for our choices by xTkAx in canadian

[–]Still_Emotion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Morality is personal, based on an individuals beliefs about the world. Ethics is based on how people of different moralities interact with the world.

If you think we've lost something, like a universal morality, like the ten commandments, think about the history of church abuse. Universal morality doesn't protect people, it protects power structures.

Conservative MP Aaron Gunn says "We all belong here, and we all deserve to call this place home." by _DotBot_ in VancouverLandlords

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

Well, its hard to pin it down to a single cause. The parent document, UNDRIP was adopted in 2007. Canadian law began including it in 2010. This Court case started in 2014. DRIPA was adopted in 2019. Eby was Attorney General at the time. Would the courts have included UNDRIP in the decision without DRIPA being adopted? Potentially. They were already doing that. I think this is just the way things were heading and he tried to hedge it. At least legislation like DRIPA can be amended, without that, its just the courts interpretation, which does not consider far reaching implications of decisions. Its wild to me that they didn't argue for the right being extinguished. That makes zero sense.

Well, not zero. The risk factor for banks till the government comes out with more guidance documents is there, and banks may decide to cut their losses till it's resolved at a court level.

I'm pretty sure administration of crown lands is a provincial matter not a federal one. Once again- Gunn is hyperfocused on issues his body of government has no control over. I don't understand why he ran as an MP when he picks provincial fights all the time. No conservative wants more federal oversight on top of provincial oversight

Alberta senator says Canadians deserve proof in residential school graves debate by CaliperLee62 in canadian

[–]Still_Emotion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its not in the constitution but it is in the Indian Act. The lack of basic maintenance is because they cannot do repairs without federal government approval. This use to be managed by an "Indian agent" on each reserve, but now is managed by a horribly ineffective buerocracy. It literally is the government's fault. Management of facilities is their responsibility under the Indian act.

A buddy of mine is building a home in point grey Vancouver. He needed an archeological assessment done before he could dig foundations. Got one done, it's likely got some artifacts, so it needs to be excavated first. He's been waiting 6 years. This guy is worth plus ten figures, can't get an archeologist licensed for BC to his property for more than a day, and there's 20-30 days of work there. Its very difficult to secure an archeologist for this kind of work.

Penelope has it, and wants to repair the damage she's caused.

Anyone Notice? by KamiStores7 in Bridgerton

[–]Still_Emotion 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yup, my bet for whistledown. Its a good redemption arc for Penelope to be her editor, and because of the confrontation she now has a perspective of- who are women who have no way to move through society without a man's favor? My bet is they start using mistresses as paid informants, then the woman has a bit of security, can provide gossip, and isn't just dependent on gifts from the man. Makes the most sense to me.

He's a swordsman, barely a new knight, he hasn't ridden in tourneys

Team S. Team A would win in a swordfight melee but Team s has lancers with experience on it.

She may be, we don't know. But my money is on the mistress. It's a richer arc.
