BC Hydro will absolutely give the go-ahead to continue construction - the review is going to be used as the excuse to sell it to their base. Kinder Morgan is also going ahead.

At each quarterly terror meet there's this one nerd who keeps saying that they should attack Canada and everyone sighs and rolls their eyes and says "come on moe we want to actually do something that people might care about, now stick this acid in your tightie whities"

I don't doubt that someone who isn't an RCMP led junkie or a guy who stole a cowboy gun will eventually manage to effect a terror attack somewhere in Canada, given a long enough timeline. I do doubt our boys in blue patrolling the streets with carbines will do anything much about it though. And while I can't speak for the rest of the country, given the Toronto Police Service's penchant for emptying an entire magazine into someone when they're made uncomfortable, I'm not sure giving them rifles with 30 round mags is going to do us any favours in the mean time.

BC Hydro isn't doing the review, the BC Utilities Commission is. Also the deadline to press charges under provincial law for Mount Polley is this Friday and the investigation isn't even close to being finished apparently, even after 3 years. I'm sure the BC Liberals will blame this on the NDP as well.

Jimbozig posted:Today I was waiting at some elevators. There were too many people to fit on one elevator. Luckily, two arrived at once! But a guy getting off of one stood there like a moron and blocked others from getting on until the doors closed and it left empty, leaving several people waiting for another one. The scallywag walked away unmolested and unashamed. I'd like the candidates at this debate to say how they will ensure that such injustice never happens again on Canadian soil. Yeah yeah, politics or whatever, you guys can keep talking about that. This is what I'm interested in. When you say he "blocked" people from getting on, you mean the people were too timid about getting on an elevator before everyone had disembarked that they did nothing and let it leave?

Young Living Oils are actually registered with Health Canada as Natural Health Products, which means that they have found enough scientific proof that certain oils (over 50 of them to be exact) can aid and help certain health issues, like stress, eczema, arthritis and stomach problems. Obviously he doesn't know it all. I actually have an oil blend called 'common sense'...I am willing to share lol

If people want to put raw tea tree oil on their crotch rot I can't really be asked to care. There are enough mildly effective and otherwise harmless treatments for minor ailments that, meh, I get it if you want to avoid using cortico-steroids or whatever. It's when dandelion root is the cure for your emphysema and big pharma and medikkkare want to steal your baby to give them autism that there become huge issues.

But I know relatively normal, intelligent individuals who, for example, have rub on topical analgesics made from "natural" ingredients they use for random joint pain who don't advocate for homeopathy and will without hesitation make an appointment with a doctor for anything more serious. I have a hard time caring about that as it seems pretty harmless. Even if the cream is useless, we should be thanking them! Not going to a doctor saved our medical system hundreds of dollars!

Those problems are usually caused by patients being loving idiots, the doctors aren't usually the problem. In some cases sure, but not the vast majority. People are just dumb and can't be saved.

"Wellness" is also a multi-billion dollar industry that slings all sorts of herbal remedies that's tied to naturopathy and homeopathy and all sorts of bullshit. The medical system not being great at listening to patients is definitely an issue that's being addressed, if unequally, but people found out that there's a shitload of money to be made in selling people everything from herbal teas that'll cure what ails ya to jade eggs for your vagina. Medical science is near miraculous given the advances we made in the past two centuries, but it cannot cure every single problem people have right now, or it's been misused/politicized in certain situations and that's lead to suspicion and distrust of its practitioners, unfortunately.

I'm sorry that you're so stupid that you think that "chemicals" are going to ruin your body.

Are you afraid of taking something that actually works because you read Food Babe, Green Earth News, or some other pseudo-science blog and convinced yourself that Tylenol and all other OTC medications are bad for you? Do you avoid gluten too?
