Fortunately for me we live on the right side of the river. By the time west broadway and wollesley finish burning and the crust punks in osborne village finally wake up and decide to join the riot I'll be safely on my way out of the city.

you guys can't pretend canada isn't special, make fun of people who pretend it is, and then turn it around and pretend we're especially awful. Whatever economic collapse that's coming is gonna make a lot of people unhinged, on top of the opioid crisis that's still escalating will have its own peculiarities but it's not gonna be much different than any other country undergoing a debt crisis.

At least we're not in the EU.

Was a huge problem in the 50s-80s but now the mindset/background/race/gender are closer to the general population as police are paid well and have good benefits. About half of a class of new recruits these days in Toronto are either visible minorities,women,university grads, speak a second language, etc. Turns out a lot of different people want to make 100 grand a year and have a defined benefit pension after 30 years.

I honestly think that at least in Vancouver it will end up making things better for a lot of people long-term when it happens. I've been hearing so much from even homeowners who are going "uh yeah this is kind of getting to the point where the market needs to crash" that when even they start admitting their sweet, sweet equity is causing bad things to happen, things have gone too far.

Except for the fact that every single one of them have looked at the job descriptions that say "may get have to shoot another person. May be shot at." And decide "I am ok with this"
Is this the same mindset as the general population?

To be frank, I'd kill a whole lot of people for 100k+ pension. I mean, I guess I could run for office or take tickets for the TTC, but I'd probably still rack up a body count.

The last time this conversation circled round, I asked generally if y'all knew of any Canadian-centric source of basic legal advice for if you ever get stopped.. Apparently, trapped in the infinite nothing of my wallet all along, was a card produced by an organisation out of Saskatoon. Here's the photos:

the THRILL
Weird. I volunteer at the legal clinic that produced that card. A friend of mine made it back in law school, and now they give it to clients who walk through the door. It’s kinda surreal seeing it pop up in this thread.

CLASSIC's a pretty sweet organization though. It's a free poverty law clinic on Saskatoon's west side, dealing mostly with landlord-tenant issues, small-scale criminal matters (for those denied Legal Aid), and correctional discipline hearings for poor and marginalized people in Saskatoon. They also run some community/systemic initiatives, like organizing ID drives for the city's homeless and transient population. Day-to-day, they're similar to Pivot in Vancouver, with a staff of a few paid lawyers overseeing law students who handle the files day-to-day, and volunteer lawyers coming in every week to do free legal consultations. They're always really tight on funding, and if anyone has a few bucks to spare, it's a worthy cause:

Also, I’ve never noticed the penis cuffs before. Huh.
