Former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland on Tuesday urged democratic countries to publicly oppose China's "Ethnic Unity and Progress Promotion Law," warning that it mirrors tactics Russia used before launching its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Freeland, who served as Canada's 10th deputy prime minister from 2019 to 2024, told a security forum in Taipei that parts of the law targeting individuals and organizations outside China's borders for undermining ethnic unity were "particularly sinister."

These bore a "dark kinship with Russia's malign use of linguistic, cultural, and ethnic ties to justify illegal encroachment on the sovereignty of its neighbors," Freeland said.

Freeland noted that in July 2021, Russian President Vladimir Putin published his essay, "On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians," arguing that Russians and Ukrainians shared a common ethnic and historical heritage. "Seven months later, he sent in the tanks. The lesson of history is clear."

Freeland praised the Taiwanese people for their courage and determination in defending freedom and democracy, noting that this year marks the 30th anniversary of Taiwan's first direct presidential election in 1996.

She said preserving peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait was important, as was supporting Taiwan's inclusion in the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), a regional trade bloc of which Canada is a member.

Freeland was speaking at the 10th Ketagalan Forum, a one-day event jointly hosted by Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research focusing on Indo-Pacific security issues.

The U.S. Army has used up much of its stockpile of highly accurate long-range missiles during its five-month war with Iran, according to three people familiar with the data, raising concerns about the military's ​readiness for future conflicts.

The missiles are principally the Army's surface-to-surface weapons, known as Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM). The U.S. has used "virtually all" of these weapons, according to two of the sources.

The ‌degree to which the military is running out of ATACMS and Precision Strike Missiles has not been previously reported.

The long-range munitions are an important part the military's arsenal, allowing accurate strikes from a safe distance. U.S.-supplied ATACMS have played a key role in the war in Ukraine, allowing Ukrainian forces to attack targets inside Russia. The PrSM is a newer, more advanced generation that will replace the ATACMS, which have a shorter range.

Because it's a mail dominated career!

Today's game is Project Zomboid. Me and My friends have been playing almost daily on our multiplayer save. The additions made in B42 have been awesome for the immersion in this game. My favorite things right now are the animals. They help make the world feel more alive which i love. I especially like the chickens. It makes me feel like i'm rebuilding something which is something Build 41 felt like it was lacking.

I also went out and found a Step Van to help make gathering logs so so much easier, it can hold 140 in the back so it makes hauling them across the highway easier. Because of that i was able to finish the wall today, and then i also went ahead and dragged home some bricks. My hope is to eventually upgrade the wall to a brick wall so it will last longer. I (assume) a brick wall has more durability than a Wood wall so here's to hoping.

Anyways, our group "Chef" was out today, so Jerry had to fill in and make dinner. I accidentally burnt the Omelette, but that's okay because we had extras. I tried to make a salad and split it into bowls but i guess you can't do that yet, so instead we all just ate a 1/4 and passed it around.

I also wanted to share something extra I made for fun that's relevant. I tried to recreate one of my screenshots (with a little more personality too) in Blender with the Project Zomboid Community rig. I'm sure someone with way more Blender knowledge than me can point out everything i've done wrong, but for having literally no blender knowledge besides like half the Donut Tutorial, i think it turned out well.

I know he has a fleet of megayachts but i wasn't awake he owns an entire megayachts business

Jedenfalls schon mal schön zu sehen, dass die Antwort wohl händisch verfasst worden ist, da man vereinzlt noch Tipp- und Rechtschreibfehler erkennt.

This summer, Ontarians were warned to stay inside as humidex values climbed to 48 C in parts of the province and wildfire smoke made for some of the worst air quality in the world. But many migrant farm workers were told to keep working.

“I have had more than one heat stroke because there is no shade,” Alicia Anntamara, a migrant worker who is currently off due to an injury, told The Narwhal at a rally in front of Ontario’s Ministry of Labour. “You can’t take water in the field. You have no bathroom in the field.”

Winning a federal ban on scabs was a major victory for union members. It was supposed to increase workers’ bargaining leverage and help to rebalance the scales in federally regulated workplaces. Employers would no longer be able to simply hire replacement workers during legal strikes or lockouts, undermine the bargaining process, and prolong disputes until unions were forced to surrender. The law was supposed to mean what it said.

The Bank of Canada, however, appears determined to prove otherwise.

Note, LLMs are very good at finding suspect "security issues" in kernel code these days. But even with the best of the current and next generation tools, at least 1/3 of the results they generate are flat out wrong or harmful. So, if you think your LLM-found/fixed issue in a drivers/staging/ file is really valid, it's fine to submit it BUT you must have first tested it on the actual hardware for the driver, and described how you have done so, in order for us to be willing to take the change.
