Hard Pass

Hello /c/Canada

You know how there's a 2nd amendment in the U.S. on the right to bear arms? I know that it was originally meant to allow people to form militias and defend their rights should the government become an authoritarian regime and stop following the constitution.

Is there anything similar in Canada in terms of laws or rights and freedoms?

Major media outlets have largely told the story of Cuba's medical missions through the voices of U.S. officials, politicians and U.S. government-funded "experts" who portray Cuban doctors as victims of "forced labor." Rarely do audiences get to see the missions themselves — or hear directly from the doctors still serving in them.

In our latest documentary, From Cuba to Calabria, we follow Cuban doctors as they travel from the island to work in public hospitals in one of Italy’s poorest regions. The film offers a rare inside look at a Cuban medical mission, letting the doctors speak for themselves about why they volunteer to leave their families and travel thousands of miles to care for patients in another country.

Two weeks ago, I was in surgery. Twenty-four hours later, I was released from the hospital and headed home. I felt much better and was happy to get to take a walk with the dog, hang out with my partner, chat over dinner, and watch an episode of an old British mystery series before getting my first real sleep in a week in our own bed.

This was thanks to the miracles of modern medicine. But it was no thanks to modern American healthcare, which, as I know from my recent experience, is fundamentally broken.

What I realized after leaving the hospital is that I was on my own. My care was coordinated while I was an inpatient, with primary care hospitalists managing a set of three different kinds of specialists; out in the real world, such coordination barely exists. My new condition is apparently chronic, so to get my ongoing follow-up care together, I am making appointments with specialists, arranging tests and scans, and generally being an “impatient patient” trying to fight my way to get what I need. But still, it’s an uphill battle. The system is sclerotic, and trying to get appointments, even for things I have been told are urgent, is a challenge. Getting the different specialists to talk to each other? That’s tomorrow’s struggle.

And I’m someone who has it good. I encountered people during my week in the hospital who would be released with far graver medical complications, far fewer resources, and far more obstacles facing them outside of the ward, from housing insecurity to substance use. I also have a bevy of friends who are physicians in the same healthcare system that cared for me, who can help me when things go awry. My privilege is enormous compared to most people facing down American healthcare in crisis.

An analysis of the AI industry that looks beyond the hype to examine who really benefits, what's really being built, and why the financial numbers don't add up.

This video covers:

• The unprecedented speed of AI adoption and what it cost to achieve
• Data extraction as the real business model behind generative AI
• Sam Altman admits the bubble exists
• Military contracts and AI executives in the Army Reserve
• Brain-computer interfaces and the attempt to read human thoughts
• Regulatory capture and safety-warnings-as-strategy

The technology isn't just adapting to us — we're adapting to it. Every prompt we type, every question we outsource instead of thinking through is strengthening a system built to predict, shape, and control human behavior.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — A Colorado court reversed homicide convictions against two paramedics on Thursday in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain, a Black man who was pinned down by police and injected with a fatal dose of ketamine.

McClain’s final words — “I can’t breathe” — foreshadowed those of George Floyd a year later in Minneapolis, and the Colorado man’s name became part of the rallying cries for social justice that swept the U.S. in 2020.

The appeals court ordered new trials for Aurora Fire Rescue paramedics Jeremy Cooper and Peter Cichuniec. McClain, 23, had been forcibly restrained and put in a neck hold by police, who stopped him in response to a suspicious person complaint as the massage therapist walked home from a convenience store in the Denver suburb in 2019.

Criminal charges against paramedics and emergency medical technicians involved in police custody cases are rare. As McClain’s death and others raised questions about the use of ketamine to subdue struggling suspects, this prosecution sent shock waves through the ranks of first responders across the U.S.

A letter from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has exposed the driving force behind the push to restructure US-Israel military relations. In Netanyahu’s own words, it is “my plan”.

The letter, shared widely on social media, reveals that the transition away from American military aid to Israel is not a US-led reform, but an Israeli initiative delivered to Congress for legislative packaging. Its purpose is not to reduce American entanglement with Israel, but to replace visible financial assistance with a far deeper and less accountable form of military integration.

Dated 1 June, 2026 and addressed to Israeli lobby funded Congressman Marlin Stutzman of Indiana, the letter was released alongside a press statement announcing a House resolution introduced by Stutzman on 3 June.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump issued a memo Friday that calls for the U.S. military and national security agencies to accelerate their use of artificial intelligence, while acknowledging the need to protect civil liberties and maintain oversight over autonomous weapon systems.

The memo comes at a time of growing anxiety over AI in American society, from replacing people’s jobs to helping to identify targets on the battlefield. The Trump administration has been pushing to unleash the power of AI for the U.S. military, while some military leaders and companies that contract with the Pentagon have been noting caution and calling for guardrails.

Trump’s memo addressed much of his Cabinet, including the secretaries of defense and homeland security as well as the attorney general and director of national intelligence.

The world is sliced up, each slice steered by a pounder whom claims overledge over all the people inside. The pounder are alived by it's veins.

It has will, law and force. The law is to create consequence, the will is to keep itself and friends alive, the force is to realize will.

The pounders transfers their overledge towards smaller bodies of might. Anyone breaking the overledge of might are breaking the law.

Pumperies are those bodies who seeks to maximize production. Pumperies are protected by pounders, and pounders are kept alive by pumperies.

Might is to steer from above, whereas force is to steer from below. Grip is that which is steered, commons is that which is ungripped.

Friendship of might constructs cogs of efficiency, the coggery.

Unendingly hungry. Consuming it's gulp day in day out, strengthening and greatening it's ability to consume more.

Grab, unload, tighten. That is the way of might.

Anyone assisting might in exchange for sallery are antlings. Many ant a third of their woken week for the coggery.

Pumperies and antlings set up veins towards pounders to keep them alive. Giving them gulps to keep them alive.
