So how is effectiveness being measured here?

This mess just continues to look worse and worse.

Premier Doug Ford boasts about 100,000 new “life-changing jobs” created by his controversial Skills Development Fund.

But no one in charge of the $2.5 billion program tracks whether those employment numbers are for full-time, part-time or temporary work.

A senior government official, speaking confidentially in order to share internal details, said the fund’s job data is not broken into different categories.

Canadian researchers should be aware the there is a motion before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science and Research to force Tricouncils to hand over disaggregated peer review data on all applications:
Applicant names, profiles, demographics
Reviewers names, profiles, comments, and scores

Andrew Scheer is just motoring through a whole litany of lies.
And no, the Harper government did not work with the opposition during the minority years. They dared the opposition to bring them down time and again (and prorogued when they were getting close to doing so). #PnPCBC

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

They know these applications are flawed and almost never produce the results the developers claim. That’s a feature, not a bug.

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”

Deer when they go into the abbatoir, venison when wrapped. Never known anyone to bring them in commercially though, so it may be different if you were dealing with a herd from a game farm.
