No, people like to pretend that using linux is hard for some reason.

B.C.'s Drug War Survivors call forced treatment plan 'a failure of justice' in c/britishcolumbia@lemmy.ca

I think that the points that DWS brings up are quite good.

If we ignore all of the "rights and freedoms" based arguments, "Why are we spending money to forcing people into treatment, when people who actually want to get into treatment can't, because of a lack of money?" is still quite damming of the program.

If someone wants to get clean, they are much more likely to actually stay clean than someone who was forced to. It's not a one-and-done process. If you don't have supports and tools set-up, relapse rates, even if you want to be clean, are quite high.

If the goal is to reduce the amount of drug users, putting the money to help people who want to be helped would go much further.

That transcript is for "Is Alberta headed towards a separation vote?". The transcript you want should be at the link below, but it looks like it's empty.

Someone else already said it's popes, as for how it relates to the comic, it's the arms.

Frame 1 = 1 arm up
Frame 2 = 2 arms up, one higher than the other
Frame 3 = 2 arms up, the same height
Frame 4 = 1 vertical arm, one horizontal arm.

I mean, this is the same Trinity Western that wasn't allowed to open up a law school because they are garbage, right?

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trinity-western-supreme-court-decision-1.4707240

They only started to consider dropping their homophobic ways after their law school bid was rejected.

It requires members to abstain from using vulgar language, lying or cheating, stealing, using degrading materials such as pornography, and "sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman."

While that rule effectively bars anyone who is unmarried from having sexual relations, it's the reference to "man and a woman" that is considered discriminatory against LGBT people. Same-sex marriage became legal in Canada in 2005.

And Janet, get real. Not being allowed to open a law school because you discriminate against others, doesn't count as a loss in diversity.

Janet Epp Buckingham, a TWU professor who helped develop the law school proposal, said she was saddened by the ruling.

"We feel that this is a loss for diversity in Canada"

Edit: It looks they stopped making students promise to be straight in 2018, but they didn't drop it for the staff.
