I can give you one use case that has a public benefit. My brother works in research informatics at a children's hospital. They use ai to identify children with rare diseases. My understanding is it tracks patterns of appointments and symptoms and matches the patients with specialists. Typically these patients wouldn't be identified for years because doctors are looking for common ailments before any exotic disease.

There is lots of uses for urban planning related to population growth and census statistics as well.

That's why we just built a battery plant in Windsor, building a battery separator plant in Port Colborne, and building another battery plant in st Thomas shortly

My brother just had a similar bill for his dog... A mysterious infection that made her leg swell and took multiple rounds of antibiotics and IV/overnight stays to clear up. Then they realized the cause of the infection was a torn tendon on her leg which they had to repair through surgery. Incidentally through all these tests they were doing for the infection they discovered a highly treatable cancer which resulted in further surgery to remove a softball sized tumour. Dog is 8 so she's likely to still have a few years in her if all goes well...

The kitchen staff isn't doing anything above and beyond the cost of the product in my opinion. I'm buying sushi I'm expecting to pay x amount for x product of y quality. The only way for them to go above and beyond is to give me free stuff on the plate but that just feels like buying more food with extra steps

What I really hate are suggested tips from takeout restaurants that don't even have a place to sit down.

They're only losing because conveniently we get a reminder of the end goal of their policies south of the border on a regular basis

Makes sense why tough on crime conservatism plays so well to that audience

All I know is the NDP propping up a minority liberal federal government saved me 2000 a month in daycare costs. So I sincerely doubt that nothing would get done.

I wouldn't even be considering a 3rd child if that program wasn't there.

That would work as an excuse the first time they voted Trump in but this is the second time they've done so
