I had a girlfriend who worked in the Vancouver film and TV industry (mostly as just a low level P.A. But eventually getting some Accounting work on tv series, etc...)
So when I think of Canadian TV I automatically think of the CW DC shows (Arrow, Flash, etc...) as well as a crazy amount of mid-budget sci-fi (Andromeda, Continuum, etc...). most of which was all filmed in Vancouver sharing the same pool of Canadian "that guy" actors.
I get what you're trying to say. But the truth is, a red light doesn't stop anyone from doing anything. It just tells them that there will be consequences if they choose to do so and get caught.
For the sake of the metaphor that you were going for, we can say that some people know that they'll face no consequences if they're caught. So they feel entitled to not bother stopping. While some people know that, based on previous history, that they'll be stopped even if they just managed to squeak through while the light was still yellow.
You are free to learn ‘Xi Jinping thought.’ Doubt this is for the progress of humanity.
That's not how Open Source works. Is this Chinese version of the AI likely biased? Yes...almost certainly.
But Open Source means that anyone can download and use the same source code and same technology to tinker with it and create one that isn't biased and has nothing to do with the Chinese government.
The power of Open Source is that regardless of who creates the software originally, a million eyes are literally looking at the code. It's nearly impossible to hide any shenanigans.

The word "Celt" is largely meaningless. There were no such specific societal group as "Celts".
"Celts" refers to speakers of similar (though not the same) languages within a celtic language group which includes Gauls (Who became Germans), Celtiberians, who became Portuguese, the Gaels, who became the English and Irish, etc... etc...
Saying that "Celts" are a society is like saying Peru, Argentina, Mexico, etc.. are all one single people. (pro tip...they're not)
So no, "celt" isn't derogatory, and it certainly isn't a synonym for "druid".
I still game on my desktop. But it's never been the primary use.
Graphic Design, video editing, 3D modelling, etc... has been the reason for my upgrades over the years. The fact that each of those upgrades allowed my games to perform better was a side-effect instead of being the primary reason.
"in government" refers to being part of the governing party
It most certainly does not. Outside of campaigns, there is no such thing as "liberal" government, or "conservative" government. There's just "the government".
The official opposition is a part of the government. And ESPECIALLY in a minority parliament, all parties negotiate and compromise to get shit done because no one party has the votes to pass something on their own. That's literally how government works.
For the same reason most politicians get into it; Its the best position to be in if you're looking to get your palms greased.
He's not interested in being a part of the government unless he's the one in charge.
The Death Gate Cycle by Margaret Weiss and Tracey Hickman would be top choice.
An extremely close second would be a mini-series based on the novel Imajica by Clive Barker (second only because I don't think anything would be able to truly do that book justice on screen so I'd be hesitant to even try.)
A longer miniseries of L.A. Confidential that tells the whole story of the novel rather than having to chop and streamline it for a movie runtime. I love the movie and I think how they chose to cut and edit the story down is actually really brilliant, but I'd be interested in seeing the whole thing play out in a mini-series.
I'm pretty sure Sex With Hitler has at least one enjoyable moment during its runtime. Which automatically places it above 76.
I rarely ever feature in my own dreams. Nor do people I know. My brain invents completely fictitious stories and characters, like watching a movie or a stage play.
