I've seen this during boarding in the UK and US so far. Both times it was like a self service section at a grocery store- errors half the time holding up people and the gate agents having to fix the issue, scan themselves, or best of all, just go "yeah go ahead" without scanning anything.
Hopefully it will improve in time.
I think just a card and cash is appropriate for someone you don't really know, and probably less than $100 unless you're both rich.

I don't think either major party will offer much better really. The Conservatives get to ride on being the opposition and the viable supposed alternative to what's been happening recently.
I trust this bird completely
I have doubts about a pursuit of whiteness and model minority stereotyping. No matter what immigrants or their children do, they'll always be hyphenated-Canadians at best, facing discrimination, suspicion, and hatred from "real" Canadians, conservative or not.
Instead the factors are much more tangible-the current government has overseen the relationships with both countries degrade severely, with severe impact to these groups. When you're trying to care for a sick grandparent abroad or whatever else, the last thing you want is a two-faced political approach that risks having you stranded away from home.
And then what role did the government have in building up the current levels of hate towards immigrants with their policies? For decades academia has been allowed to turn international students into cash cows with zero regard for their quality of life. Businesses whining about wages getting too high after the pandemic meant that immigrants were brought in with no place to live and no livable income. And then scapegoated for cost of living increases spawned by decades of bad policy, by the governments who brought them in.
Immigrants are expected to put in to a system that'll have them work twice as hard to get half as much, if that, and hate them for it. It's not "I got mine, fuck you", it's "you'll never give me mine, I'm just an exploitable tax base to you, we're not going to pretend anymore".
It's pretty much everybody but go off I guess

In the first place I think a better way to establish "is life in this given place good", would be to address to good vs bad in that place, as opposed to the good in that place vs the bad everywhere else.
If you must make the point through comparisons, using the weakest possible arguments while standing in for the opposing side makes it seem you've either want to misrepresent it, or don't feel secure enough in your position.
I could get into the factual claims that could be challenged but maybe that was the AI. There's absolutely an argument that Western media and cultures create intense, xenophobic biases, but there are more compelling ways to make it.
Using a one-sided narrative to counter a one-sided narrative comes off as disingenuous to me. Despite Marx's urging, the US turns out to be the place where a worker can strike with his union and own a gun.
The prophecy has been fulfilled yet again
