The nation desperately needs police reform!
Stuff like this, or disabling body cam footage IMO should result in immediate termination and absolutely no union protection
There's someone working for Kingston Ontario police who was harassing his wife/girlfriend. There was an article about him pleading guilty that kept the victim 100% anonymous... Then he makes public statements to the press. Reveals its his significant other that they owned a home together with. Claims he "pleaded guilty because he couldn't afford a legal defense." You literally get one whether you can afford one or not.
The guy makes 200k per year. Funny this hate criminal kicking heads is getting 18 months because so did this Kingston cop! A YEAR AND A HALF 100% PAID VACATION. Now he's back with a comfy administrative desk job.
You know what happens when locals criticise the cops? They literally tell us "you should be careful, we might now show up when you need us."
Yup! I recently read about aboriginal tribes doing controlled burns during the winter, rainy seasons etc. They even noticed certain plants would grow more afterwards, attract certain animals etc
"politicizing disasters" to me just sounds like exploring the possibility that there are people and actions to blame...
IMO we need stringent anti lobbying laws. Other nations just call it what it is, a financial bribe to a politician
Canada is ripe for the picking, we let our telecoms walk all over us.
I wonder how much of our "economy doing great" is just businesses generating GDP from crap like this...
That's just the trickle down. Check the pockets and bank accounts, panama papers...
Don't forget plain ol' corporate greed
Brita filters do, they're designed for filtering drinking water. Lifestraws and the like don't, they're designed for filtering untreated water so you don't need any chlorine treatment.
I believe in Canada we have high standards for our potable water, unlike the UK for example our water heaters need to be up to par (UK typically has seperate taps AFAIK).
So no need to boil, also if you're trying to get rid of chlorine you can just use Brita filters, carbon filters that restaurants use do the same AFAIK. Also even cities like mine which (at least at some point before now) had way more houses than apartments still chlorinated the entire city's supply.
Filters are insanely good these days. I was thinking about getting a life straw, but there's a slightly more expensive alternative that can do like 500x more filtering before it needs to be replaced, and comes with a pouch you can fill and then pour into a regular water bottle. Life straws are meant to be drank from directly, and the alternatives that company offers are just water bottles with life straws built in - so you put unfiltered water in the bottle itself... Probably gets gross or requires constant cleaning
In other news, water is wet!
We used to have laws and regulations in place for stuff like this, same with the USA. As years passed they lost their teeth
Lots of wonderful decorations and positive energy!
One thing I noticed though, all the Bell owned radio stations (3 vehicles I believe) all seem to have gotten together before hand, to only purchase and use a single small rainbow flag between all of them, to cut out small hearts one for each side on the rear of their vehicles
Kind of stood out like a sore thumb, it almost looked like they were just there to be there (to advertise). I didn't really sense much "pride" from them. I haven't listened to the radio since they killed 98.9 the drive and replaced it with country :(
