This is surprising good. Seems it can do cartoon hands better than real hands. What clued you off to it being AI?

Some recent AI model does this style of drawing for comics. https://lemmy.world/post/27797997

That's kind of an interesting concept, being able to detect AI art by the model's "style"

The yellow tour bus was the biggest clue to me, after that I started noticing other things. In Canada yellow buses are for school, tour buses are usually red and white.

No, this is Patrick.

Unless you’re indigenous. Then you’ll get thrown into a mass grave, and the authorities won’t do a thing about it when you’re discovered.

Indigenous women are still kidnapped and forcefully sterilized

No, but if the US decides to label you a felon for any reason, or no reason at all you can't go to Canada.

Notice how the US Government is declaring the anti-elon stuff to be terrorism? Do you remember what Edward Snowden showed us about the type of spying that the US is capable of, and authorized to do in the name of 'counter-terrorism'?

The US is about to invent a lot of new 'felons' and 'terrorists' and other countries, including Canada, will deny them entry and asylum.

France doesn't extradite if death penalty or bad shit like this is on the table. So there is a strong chance you wouldn't get deported these days even as a "sans papier" (illégal alien). Is Canada not similar?

France refused asylum to Snowden when the US thew their weight around

No. When there were large bunches of refuges trying to escape from camps from the middle east, Canada refused entry to any any male 16 years or older for asylum. Women and small children were okish, but males were right fucked and flat refused. And I think that's still on the books yet today.

Canada, for all the "feel good" they have from others in the world, has as much history of cruelty to outsiders as any other western nation. And don't look to closely into why the Geneva Convention exists today either. They just hide it better.

I really wish this were an exaggeration.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 days ago

As someone in the US, believe me, I do too.

But we will sterilize you without your permission if you are a native!

And don't complain about losing your land for a pipeline.

Will you do that for non natives too? Asking for me

Get a good tan and I'm sure they will find time for you.

No, you'll do something worse. You'll send me back to America. :(

Well... There was that time the RCMP provided bogus, seemingly fabricated information to the CIA resulting in Meher Arar's extraordinary rendition and ten months of torture. For no obvious reason.

You guys taking electricians? I'm pretty sure I can chug syrup, and I can start using "eh" more, eh?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Most trades are provincial jurisdiction (including electricians), so pick a province and look at their requirements for foreign trained electricians.

For example, to get your ticket in Ontario you'll need to look into the trade 309A (Construction and Maintenance Electrician) or 442A (Industrial Electrician), verify your work experience, and take an equivalency exam to test your knowledge. I'd recommend reading up on CEC requirements (very similar to NEC but there are differences).

Excellent. This is exactly the kind of advice I've been looking for. Thank you!

Sorry to be a pedant, but it's Salvadoran, not "El Salvadorian".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

at this point, I’d do unpaid labor for Canadian citizenship and my life would still probably improve drastically.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

With due process you say?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Does this imply there is a Canadian process to throw people into an El Salvadorian Gulag?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago (3 children)

They’re called “residential schools” in Canada.

Can you make one exception.... maybe like five, or a few hundred. I have a list.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago

I'm like 3 steps away from applying for Permanent Residence. The best year of my life was when I worked in Toronto, and that was before the orange turd came back in and expedited my desire to be literally anywhere but here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

So you're saying there's a chance?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Native Americans in Canada have entered the chat. 😒
