Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?

AFAIK, Rogers still has the brand. It just won’t be on CBC.
As Canadian businesses rush to adopt artificial intelligence tools, they face a growing risk of customer backlash — even legal action — if those tools make mistakes.
Canadian law has already established that companies can be held liable if AI chatbots dole out bad information. In a 2024 case, Air Canada was forced to honour a fare rebate after its chatbot provided a passenger with incorrect advice about bereavement fares.
The airline argued before the British Columbia Civil Resolution Tribunal that the chatbot was “a separate legal entity that is responsible for its own actions.” But the tribunal disagreed, stating that Air Canada was ultimately responsible.
“Just like an employee may do something wrong and the company’s held responsible, a bot is just like an employee,” said Tanya Walker, a litigation lawyer with Walker Law in Toronto.
“I don’t think companies really realize the magnitude and the power that a bot can have,” she said. “It can enter into a contract on your behalf.”
No, it says Canadian “beer” killed him. It’s an immediate signal that it wasn’t actually beer.
What’s misleading about it?
The product came from Canada.
The “beer” is in quotation marks, indicating that it wasn’t actually beer.
A 21-year-old was killed.

…not all low-income people are homeless?
I don’t think I’d call it a “catch”.
Carney said that Canadians who fail to file a return when they earn under the basic personal amount means Canadians “who most need benefits often don’t get them.”
Those benefits include the GST/HST tax credit, the Canada child benefit, the Canada workers benefit, the Canadian disability benefit and the disability tax credit.

I agree, but…legally speaking*, I think they have a decent case?
*I’m not a lawyer, just your standard online idiot
we don’t have the technology or the expertise to perform the procedure here
I would say this is the part that’s unreasonable. Being the only G7 country unable to perform proton beam treatments isn’t exactly a point of pride.
It does beg the question of what about the project “requires further development” - it seemed like a pretty comprehensive plan when I looked at it.
The Alto project is on the “secondary” list of projects that are likely next.
“It becomes a profoundly difficult thing to scale that infrastructure in a way that allows you to scale growth in the retail sector,” he says. “So can it work? I think it could, but it would be a very difficult and painful process to get established and to grow.”
One of the Federated Co-ops, Red River Co-op, ceased grocery operations in 1983 - it wasn’t until the Sobeys/Safeway merger in 2014 that they were able to pick up four of the Winnipeg locations that the new megacorp were forced to sell, and re-enter the market. They now have nine grocery locations in and around the city.
It’s hard to take a lesson from that, since you can’t count on those circumstances to repeat every often, but inheriting existing infrastructure certainly seems to help.
Well I’m happy for her - it sounds like it’s a good thing that she reconsidered her life goals, and found something more fulfilling.
I really think you’re putting words in her mouth.
“It felt impossible to go back to that kind of a life and I didn’t want to sacrifice my time with my family” has absolutely nothing to do with the process of transferring credentials to Canada, and everything to do with the job itself. “I feel that I can be a better nurse than a physician" speaks for itself.
There are plenty of stories about the challenges of transferring credentials. This, by her own account, as quoted in this article, is not one of them.
If the process were easier she wouldn’t have been “led” to reassess those priorities.
How does an easier process change her conclusion of, “I would be happier as a nurse?”
Not exactly.
When Tretiak first arrived in Canada in December 2022, she looked into obtaining a license to practice medicine, but the complexity of the process and volume of paperwork led her to reassess her priorities.
That doesn’t say she thought it was “too much.” It says she decided it wasn’t what she wanted to do.
You can argue that the process is too much - and it probably is, at least in places - but she pretty directly states that it led to her deciding that she didn’t actually want to be a doctor, and would rather be a nurse.
She says she sees nursing as an opportunity to engage more deeply with patients through communication and empathy. “I feel that I can be a better nurse than a physician,” says Tretiak, who currently works in a retirement home for Ukrainian-speaking older adults.
“I had lost a lot of people already – including many of my friends – and I no longer connected my happiness to my professional goals. It felt impossible to go back to that kind of a life and I didn’t want to sacrifice my time with my family.”
I’m going to suggest we shouldn’t force her to do something she doesn’t want to do.
Yeah, I wish I could say I was confident that they will be dismissed…
CBC:
Seems pretty much the same?
