Mad (Social) Scientist 🇨🇦I once attended a presentation on an experiment comparing the use of AI-assisted bail decisions to typical practice. AI assistance led to harsher decision-making, increasing the false-positive rate. Would not surprise me if something similar was at play here.

“I think it’s a reasonable thing for the public to ask for evidence of that being the case, if the government is going to insist upon saying that, in fact, we have it wrong...”

I do enjoy being at home 'recreating' with my family. Not sure how more money for Cancon interferes with that, though.

Lawyer unavailability is an underrated cause of delay. I don't know how common it is, but I was shocked to learn some lawyers take the entire summer off. A three month hole in the calendar obviously complicates efforts to tackle case backlogs and reduce delays.

"...in a report stamped top secret and released under access to information law this week, NSIRA warned that the situation 'may constitute a non-compliance with the law.'"
Maybe we should stop giving CSIS new powers until they demonstrably follow the law.

Seriously, I cannot emphasize this enough Canadian friends:
Bill C-22 SHALL NOT PASS! ⛔️
If you are Canadian, you must contact your representative ASAP to tell them you strongly oppose Bill C-22.
We cannot have this kind of authoritarianism in Canada (or anywhere else frankly).
More information here: https://action.openmedia.org/page/188754/action/1
Contact your representative(s) directly without the form by finding their contact information here: https://www.ourcommons.ca/members/en/search

Stop the Surveillance State: Stop Bill C-22!
🚨 Bill C-22 forces every Canadian internet provider, messaging app & cloud service to build surveillance backdoors and store a year of your data. Foreign state hackers exploited similar legislation in the US. Shut the backdoor: https://openmedia.org/StopC22 #BillC22
