I'm not the person you were replying to but thought I'd weigh in.

Canada attempted/committed (results varied) genocide of its first nations not by killing children (though they did do that) but by making continuation of indigenous ways of living/ culture untenable.

China is attempting genocide of its Uigher population in a similar way.

Russia's denial of Ukrainian identity and treatment of orphaned Ukrainian children is also genocidal.

Genocide is the attempt to destroy a nation/ ethnicity. It doesn't have to be murder factories to be genocide.

Do you agree?

Canadaland focuses on Canada, so Jesse tries to ask questions that are relevant to Canadians

journalism is supposed to be about distributing factual information

I have a friend in Canada that I know is trying to figure out if he should send his daughter to public school (eventually, she is still quite young) where she could face anti-Semitic treatment from peers/teachers, or Jewish day school where she could be murdered by extremists. (I think he was already more inclined towards public schools)

His concern is because of the increase in attacks on centers of Jewish community (eg schools & synagogues) in Canada. The increase in those attacks is because of Israel's disproportionate response to the Oct 7th attacks.

The question of Israel's accountability is probably quite relevant to him.

Remember the Alarmo

I agree it's strange and possibly inappropriate that the fact check was a text document, not a podcast.

But I really don't think he was acting as a mouthpiece the way you're accusing him. He repeatedly asked about the head of the Israeli military characterizing events as Jewish terrorism.

I think it's important to ask what responsibility Israel has for the safety of Jewish Canadians when hatecrimes rise as a result of Israeli military operations.

Do you mean that the ambassador lied so much that his views shouldn't have been aired, or that the fact checking is unacceptably anti-Israel.

Or something else? I'm not sure how to interpret your statement.

Yeah, coverage of Israeli/Palestinian conflict is notoriously filled with half truths and misleading implications. I think having a fact check co-published is quite useful.

I don't know what that guy's problem is.

I think Jesse did a good job. I'm extremely skeptical of the ambassador's explanation of the invitation to collaborate.

Seems pretty sexist to even ask.

When was the last time trump shot a gun?

I look at your diagram and see:

ϴ= L/(L+R)

And

2π-ϴ = L/R

I solved those (using substitution, then the quadratic formula) and got

L= π-1 ± √(1+π²) ~= 5.44 or -1.16

Whether or not a negative length is meaningful in this context is an exercise left to the reader

Giving (for L=5.44):

ϴ~= 0.845 ~~48.4° 

I'm surprised that it solved to a single number, maybe I made a mistake.

Was that G7/8 kettling?

Yeah, we know a lot about ancient Egypt, but there's a lot we don't know too.

Right I get that, but the underlying value that the prohibitions are designed around is promoting humility and preventing vanity.
