I also thought it was that based on an urbandictionary search, but I just stumbled upon this and it might be a reference to a “fusion center” (which seems like one of those joint operation bases you see on TV):

So it looks like a racist mob burned down a native lobster processing facility. Keep classy Canada:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/mi-kmaw-lobster-fishery-1.5761468

quote:

Vehicle torched, lobster pounds storing Mi'kmaw catches trashed during night of unrest in N.S.
Marr said he had just returned from lobster fishing with his two daughters on Tuesday evening when he heard that a group of commercial fishermen were threatening to burn his boat and destroy his lobster.

"So I decided that it wasn't a good idea to keep them there, and I loaded up my van and called a friend of mine and he told me he had somewhere I could store them for a while," Marr told CBC's Information Morning on Wednesday.

Marr said he believes he was followed to the Yarmouth County lobster pound, where he took his catch, and the facility was soon surrounded by hundreds of people.

"They said they were coming in to take the lobster," Marr said. "They told us they were going to come in at midnight and burn us out, screaming a lot of different profanities at us."

Footage shared online

Marr captured about an hour of video footage of his time barricaded inside. At one point, he briefly steps out an entrance that appears to be guarded by several RCMP officers, who tell him to go back inside.

Several other videos were shared on social media overnight, including one of a white van burning in New Edinburgh and being extinguished by an RCMP officer.

Marr said his vehicle was also destroyed.

"They slashed the tires. I watched one guy pee in the driver's seat of my truck. Another guy poured a jug of some antifreeze or something down inside my gas tank. Another guy poured a jug of something down the vents in the heaters of my truck."

Marr said that eventually, the RCMP took him by the arm and forced him to leave the building, and he stood outside and watched as the mob broke windows and carried out lobster in crates.

"They totally annihilated that building, just tore it all apart. They took all the lobster," he said.

You have to comb through their old news releases, i.e. here are their revised August numbers in the September report are here:

https://www.newswire.ca/news-releas...-857566556.html

quote:

"The labour market continued to post a decline in employment," said Ahu Yildirmaz, vice president and co-head of the ADP Research Institute. "The biggest job losses were in the trade, transportation and utilities; education and healthcare; and manufacturing sectors."

The August total of jobs added was revised from -205,400 to -770,600.

The October 2020 ADP Canada National Employment Report will be released at 8:30a.m.ET on November 19, 2020.

RCMP have body cameras, if they wanted they could have just turned them on and recorded everything. Then they would have a record of everyones face and they could go arrest everyone the next day, just like protests.

I knew a loser in high school who became a weird gun masturbator who lamented not being able to join the army or police because he was colour blind. I cut off contact with him because he became more and more insufferable but some other friends did not.

I heard stories about him like how he went to LAN parties and mute his game but blasted American right-wing talk radio recordings at maximum volume. He also liked to go on rants about how bad immigrants were even though he was born in Hong Kong.

A couple years ago I saw him reply to a post of a friend of a friend on Facebook so I checked out his profile. He's a prison guard now and his profile picture was him and his prison guard friends in Judge Dredd cosplay at what looked like a professional photoshoot.

I guess a lot of criticism of cops in media is lost on them like that "cool robot" meme except "cool fascism"

In theory the company who ACTUALLY processes payroll data for 40% of employed Canadians (or whatever) can do better than the Stats Canada Labour Force Survey that hits something like 2000 random Canadians, but somehow...

I assume you are talking about Derek Corrigan (whose party, Burnaby Citizens Association, is informally associated with the NDP) - he is very bad on housing. So bad that he managed to get turfed even though his party won 7/8 seats on Burnaby City Council (the other going to Joey Shithead!). I wouldn't put a lot of weight on Corrigan's views being representative of the NDP as a whole, but there is ample other evidence to show that the BCNDP is absolutely abysmal on the housing front. Today's "plan" for rent repayment being one of them.

Yeah, Corrigan. He was a sneering classist rear end in a top hat, offloaded any responsibility whatsoever to other branches of government, was clearly in the pocket of condo devs, and made it apparent that homeless people and activists were ignorant scum to him.

Choice quotes:

'We live in a capitalist society, we can't interfere with private property! I grew up poor and worked my rear end off to get a law degree harumph.'

'The working class are easily affording 500k downpayments for new developments now.'

'This is why I don't take advice from people wearing flannel shirts.'

The whole meeting was just a giant PR blizzard about how more investment condos would magically fix everything.

It's not a case of a few bad apples in the party, or whose platform is better - any party in power will always have severe neoliberal tendencies simply due to the structural location of the state apparatus relative to the griftscam pyramid that is Canada's so called 'economy'.

Reality just appears to be neoliberal from up there. The longer any single person or group is in office, the more neoliberal they'll get. Election platforms are just beautiful lies - Canada is a parasite flea on America's increasingly bald head, and the function of the state apparatus is to maintain this status quo at all costs.

It's decidedly better to be living in a social democracy than the alternative, especially during the covid event, but electoral politicking within the current order does absolutely nothing without a mobilized, organized movement holding their feet to the fire.

And then, instead of doing anything else, just suggesting that we should do better really makes me realize our government has our interests in heart. I'm sure every Manitoban will now adhere to the basic precautions now that they've been suggested to.

Then harder with a meaner look (leading Canada in cases)

I have been curious why there's a few days' gap between new rule announcement and it coming into effect. It's obviously intentional, but what's the reasoning. "We have a confirmed e. coli outbreak at this location, so we'll be shutting it down in the next 3-5 business days."

Wonder what the overall effect is too. I could see it scaring people away as much as it encourages one last hurrah.

My guess is they want to try to keep businesses open as long as possible.

Increasing cases and only making an announcement on a Friday to go into effect after the weekend? That's after teasing for a week they were going to make an announcement too.
