Summary:
This week, The British Columbia government is criticized for implementing a new, harsh addictions policy, while the Alberta Government continues to use public funds to support the oil industry. Additionally, political figures have taken increasingly anti-immigrant stances targeting specific groups. Meanwhile, Canada's Premier has displayed casual cruelty in politics, and the National Broadcast Corporation (NBC) United has been a significant embarrassment in political history.

There are also issues in the summary. The national broadcasting corporation is the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, or CBC, not NBC. And the national leader is not a Premier, it's a Prime Minister. A provincial leader is referred to as Premier.

Those two significant errors lead me to doubt the quality of any of the information.

Ya that's fair, my laziness has betrayed me, i used a service to generate a summary.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Kudos on admitting it, and on at least providing a summary.

Thanks
to be more fair to my self I say service but it's a service I wrote for myself. I will be fine tuning my summary agent and paying a bit more attention to it's output.

Is there a reason this is being down voted so much? I've only watched the first few minutes and I was actually surprised I hadn't come across this channel before.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I think it's because it's generally considered bad form to post videos only, without any text whatsoever.

I know for me I'd prefer to read for 15 minutes vs listen to someone speak for almost 50 min.

Fair point, I will make sure I add a summary or quick blurb about it in the future.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

It'd be greatly appreciated!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I have added some details, I hope they are in a format that is suitable.

One of the reasons I posted this was to share his channel with other who may not of known about it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well thanks for that - it's solid discussion!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

You're welcome.

If you read the description, you can assume that the video is garbage.

Meanwhile, Canada’s Premier has displayed casual cruelty in politics, and the National Broadcast Corporation (NBC) United has been a significant embarrassment in political history.

Provinces in Canada have premiers, the Country has a Prime Minister.
Also, what casual cruelty specifically?

NBC is from the USA, I assume they mean the CBC? But "CBC united" isn't a thing, so maybe they mean the political party "BC United"?

Description was added after my original post and I agree it's bad (looks like AI generated drek). That said, the video is good and worth a watch.

I downvoted because it's a collection of multiple topics, which I don't think is really good for lemmy style discussion. 1 post 1 topic.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well lhe does break them up into separate smaller videos which i could post each separately, but i feel that would pollute lemmy more then one single post. What do you think?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I would post the one segment you think is most interesting/relavent or create /c/steveboots and post everything there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I think on "The platform that shall not be named" creating it's own community would be a good idea but here on lemmy I feel that would dilute the pool of posts.

I'm going to shy away from creating separate posts, not that I don't feel it's a good idea. But because at least in this case each segment is important and so the video is as a whole.

Question period.
