Person on camera was a black male, 5'2" to 6'6" wearing a dark hoodie. The suspect certainly fits the description. There was a written manifesto, but the suspect says he didn't write it. He says he only signed the confession after being tortured by the police for hours.

Your proposal is exactly the system that exists now, and it's unjust.

Obviously nobody should disappear into secret jails, but victims and witnesses are not on trial, and should have their privacy protected.

Having random people listening to police comms is no substitute for a competent regulator.

It's supposed to be reflected in the price to the consumer. That's what's supposed to cause the consumers to make less carbon-intensive choices.

For goods or services that don't actually have any fossil carbon used, there probably should be a mechanism to call them out for misinformation.

Public mobile is Telus's discount brand. They have service everywhere Telus does. The other major carriers have their own discount branded services. You don't get much (or any) data, but it's a lot cheaper.

Yeah, we could get a perfect score if we destroyed all the coastal rainforests and replaced them with bamboo plantations.

Canada has fewer guns per person than the US, but still many more than most countries. I think there are a couple of other differences though. The types of guns are very different. Handguns are extremely restricted, and ownership is rare. Many (most?) semi auto rifles are either prohibited or restricted, and there are mag limits (5 rounds) for all centrefire rifles. This doesn't exactly prevent people from committing shootings, but a lot fewer people have those types of guns because they're kind of a pain in the ass get, store, and use. Safe storage is legally required, and much more encouraged by the gun-owning community.

The other factor might be what guns are used for in Canada. Concealed carry is practically non-existent, open carry is severely restricted, and while self-defence with a firearm is technically legal, ownership for that purpose pretty much isn't.

It's interesting to compare Vollmer's ideas with those of the father of modern policing in the UK and British Commonweath, Robert Peel.

Best we can do is an ebike license with an optional toaster endorsement. Separate license class for anything over 1500w or more than two slots.

Hyper-V is absolutely the way to go here. Linux is quite well supported.

Not 20-40 years in BC, but 80-120 years. Good news is that the lands harvested in the 60s and 70s will start to mature in 20 years. But we're going to have a shortfall until then.
