That would be great, but what does it have to do with Israel/Palestine?

And realistically, what the fuck is the Canadian government going to do? Go to war with Israel and by extension the US?
Probably just using all the various GPS systems. Unless the Russians are jamming their own system as well.
We aren’t talking about small scale manufacturing vs large scale. It’s large scale either way. Your analogy doesn’t work.
We have that. They’re called unions. Of course, that’s also at risk, since half the population seems OK with breaking union power.
What? Burning bunker oil to ship Chinese made cars across the ocean is better for the planet than manufacturing them domestically?
Have a look at that NAFTA replacement agreement. There’s provisions in there specifically to put upwards pressure on Mexican wages.
To add to the national security angle: the auto industry is one of the industries that would be able to pivot to wartime production the fastest (as seen in the world wars). Probably not the first thing on everyone’s mind, but I’d bet it’s at least part of the consideration.
You still believe this genocide in Gaza has anything to do with hostages?
I never even implied that I believe that. In fact, I’ve said nothing about my feelings on the overall conflict.
All I’ve said is that I don’t see why Hamas doesn’t return them (independent of whatever the Israeli government is doing) and take the easy PR win. The hostages are one of the main things that tempering international and internal pressure on the Israeli government.
Except it’s accomplished none of that. If anything, keeping the hostages reduces any anti-Netanyahu sentiment, as some people will view it as continued justification for the current war.
I don’t understand why Hamas doesn’t just let them go. Israel has already shown that there’s nothing to be gained from keeping the hostages. The international PR win alone would be worth releasing them at this point.

Probably just a good old fashioned presence sensor. If the sensor is triggered, there’s a “box” there, and the robot does a pre-programmed set of actions. The robot would place the box on the conveyor nicely, but if the man’s head and chest stuck out differently than the box does, robot doesn’t care. It goes to the programmed position regardless. By the time it encounters enough resistance to trigger the collision detection, the damage has already been done.
Which conversions? Most metric conversions are drastically simpler than their imperial counterparts.
