It's right in the article. They're either taking pictures from outside, or going in and saying they got lost.

Uncritical support to the mod team in their fight against the incel scourge 🫡

You're stretching the definition of democratic especially if you're extending that to all of these countries that have recently experienced coups.

Okay, sure! Hate speech isn't free speech!

Thank you, it's no problem.

It sounds like you don't care that much about science if you're actually considering national humiliation to be as important as scientific progress.

Very cool. Let's hope the final version works as promised!

Immigrants to China can't become citizens FYI. Dumb argument.

No, not to you. On an article about science in China, you have to make it about the government.

There is actually, and here's your story:

"We do not support the use of cluster munitions and we are committed to ending the effects of these weapons on civilians, especially children," a spokesperson for Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly told CBC News in an email on Friday.

That said, the more important story is the sending of cluster munitions in the first place. And this article seems to agree, considering you have to scroll down a bit to get to the Canadian opinion. I'm not surprised the CBC is interested in the Canadian government's response to this.

The dud rate refers to the percentage of unexploded rounds. In previous conflicts, cluster munitions have had a high dud rate, which meant that thousands of the unexploded bomblets remained behind and killed and maimed civilians. That's happened recently in conflicts in Syria and Yemen, but the grisly impact can be felt decades later, as seen in parts of Southeast Asia, where people are still killed by explosives from the Vietnam War.

It's like the depleted uranium story from earlier. Sure, you can request these things and use them, but it's a bad decision because you're just going to end up maiming and disabling generations to come.

Yes you are so right. It's very unfortunate dictator Xi Jinping is doing this out of nowhere based on no past events whatsoever. It's really a shame we live in an acausal world.
