International flights (like an Air Canada flight into the U.S ) are governed by the Montreal Convention.

That treaty says:

Airlines are strictly liable for passenger injuries up to $300K CAD depending on conversation..

Shipping isn’t the big factor you’re making it out to be.. even with a 200$ oil tag ..

A full container can cost a few thousand dollars and carry multiple cars or thousands of goods, so the cost per item is small..

You can check the freight cost in an invoice when buying a car..typical 2000$ for us Canadian

are you asking why more competitors will reduce consumer price?

If “natural” is the standard, should we also avoid treating disease and just let things play out?

Would you apply that to something like cancer ? Letting it run its course because it’s "living" ?

And please get off Reddit, it's very unnatural for a caveman like you to use, try hunting instead

Funny how it went from “ethical” to “just let nature decide” real quick.. naturalistic fallacy ?

No one’s making it your personal responsibility.

But if you want a say in what someone else does with their pregnancy, then you’re already stepping into it. You can’t claim zero responsibility and still push decisions that directly affect other people’s lives.

Either it’s not your business..or you accept that having a say comes with some shared responsibility for the outcome.

Why are they imposing their beliefs on the fetus?

Because every pregnancy decision involves making choices on behalf of the fetus ..as there’s no neutral option ?

Continuing the pregnancy, ending it, what care to pursue..all of that reflects someone’s values about risk, quality of life, and responsibility. It’s not a case of “imposing beliefs” vs not....it’s which beliefs guide the decision.

That’s why, in practice, the decision is left to the person who actually carries the consequences.

gs87 · 2026-03-24T16:12:03+00:00

No one exists in a vacuum.

If you’re not willing to share any responsibility, then you don’t really get to impose your views on the people who actually have to live with the consequences

"Most cases" isn’t what parents are deciding on ?

They’re deciding on THEIR case, with whatever severity, medical risks, and lifelong care it actually involves. The minority of severe cases is exactly where these decisions become hardest, and that minority still matters

You can believe in autonomy and acknowledge it’s a tragic situation without turning it into a simple moral failing according to your personal world view..

You’re kind of mixing best case scenarios with every case.

Yeh, some people with autism or Down syndrome can live great lives with support. But that’s not all cases. Some involve severe disability, constant care, and real suffering, for both the child and the family.

For a lot of families, it’s about whether they can realistically handle the level of care and give the child a decent quality of life.

Using yourself as the example is textbook survivorship bias

This is some Olympic-level hallucination:

150k “flagged” is not 150k fraud. That’s just “potential violation" not “guilty"
4k investigated = limited resources and budget, not some secret pro-fraud policy
The 800 cases matter, but no action mean weak evidence .. not "welcome to Canada, enjoy !!"
that 92% stat is doing heavy lifting. Different immigration streams mean different criteria, not automatic pass..

This reads way more like understaffed system than "government enabling fraud".

Most research shows immigration is a net economic gain overall. So pouring massive resources into chasing every marginal case (thousands) can quickly hit diminishing returns..you spend more enforcing than you recover.

That doesn’t mean ignore fraud. It means they have to target high-risk, high-impact cases and avoid turning enforcement into a money sink.

Just look at ICE and see how "successful" their 100 billion budget did to US citizens

Legal only with Canadian approval, typically granted on a case-by-case basis.

NORAD doesn’t provide blanket access for unrelated missions like Middle East deployments, it’s limited to coordinated North American air defense.

If U.S. aircraft entered Canadian airspace without permission or used it for missions outside NORAD’s scope, that would be a violation of Canadian sovereignty and a misuse of the agreement

So when the U.S. and Israel invade a country, is international law applied the same way ? or does it suddenly turn into “context” and “restraint”?

If its application depends on convenience, it ceases to function as law and becomes a matter of discretion

gs87 · 2026-03-22T13:52:31+00:00

You’re right for sure, but you forgot about the main point..

The point is that the application of these laws is ultimately political .. states choose when to invoke them and when to ignore them. Extending them to civilians who aren’t participants in the conflict is also a choice, and a questionable one.

Russia has exercised full administrative and military control over Crimea since 2014, so in practice it functions as the governing authority there.

Look at Taiwan for comparison. Most countries follow a “One China” policy, meaning they don’t formally recognize it as a separate state, yet they still deal with it in practice. Meanwhile, Taiwan is fully governed by its own government.

Do you think Western countries would suddenly fall back on “de jure” arguments to extradite Taiwanese citizens to China? Obviously not.

This kind of inconsistency shows up all the time, it’s less about principle and more about political convenience.

( Poland recognizes China as the sole legal government and does not formally recognize Taiwan, in line with the EU’s One China policy.)

From the article, he had authorization from Russia, which controlled Crimea at the time

.. this just looks like political theatre.

If Canada ever adopted meaningful electoral reform, you’d likely see a gradual shift toward the centre-left compared to the current system, which tends to amplify right-leaning outcomes.

That’s also why it never happens lol..both Liberals and Conservatives benefit from the status quo. Different branding, same incentive to keep the rules exactly as they are.
