Madkal posted:My MP is Wilson-Raybould and she has spoken a bit about the recent unmarked graves and the treatment of first nation people in Canada but you know, evil politician who represents supremacy and doesn't care about genocide or whatever people think. With so many to choose from it's always interesting to see which ones people choose to speak about. It's definitely good to focus on our own.

Did she call it a genocide? Honest question, because Liberals were still refusing to do that last I checked.

And the hits keep coming... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-wildfires-june-30-2021-1.6085919 quote:Village of Lytton, B.C., evacuated as mayor says 'the whole town is on fire' Lytton hit 49.6C on Tuesday. The whole town's going to burn to the ground, and god knows how many might die. Speaking of heatwaves and death, "B.C. records 486 sudden deaths, almost triple the usual number, during heat wave": https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-wildfires-june-30-2021-1.6085919 poo poo is so hosed right now.

Does BC even have any active volcanoes? I feel like mentioning Pompeii might be tempting fate if they do given how the last 18 months have gone out there.

Well, on the bright side that leaves out freezing to death or tornadoes.  Now Im curious, how well funded is BCs emergency system for natural disasters? I cant imagine the BC Libs invested much, have the NDP spent anything on it?

Well, that's in the US. Even if it went off like Mount Saint Helen's and aimed itself right at Vancouver the blast wouldn't go far enough to hurt anyone. But it would be freakin loud after a few minutes. Garibaldi is also potentially active, but basically there's nothing in a spot where if it went off suddenly a lot of people, if anyone at all would die. I don't even think there's much danger from lahars anywhere, the geography is conveniently safe for that. This province being mostly empty helps a lot.

Willatron posted:Did she call it a genocide? Honest question, because Liberals were still refusing to do that last I checked. She's not a Liberal anymore, and she's Indigenous. That being said, I can't find any documented instances of JWR referring to it as a genocide. She has spoken pretty strongly and consistently about the injustices done. I'm not going to police the language an Indigenous woman uses to describe the atrocities committed against Indigenous people. yippee cahier posted:Our 911 system collapsed the other day during the heat wave.

That said, at this point in time it's actually Mt. Rainier that stands a better chance of going kablooey that Baker does. And if Rainier ever goes off, it's gonna really gently caress up Washington State, but Mt. Baker erupting certainly wouldn't be fun either.

Interesting mood in Ottawa today. Obviously it's nowhere near as busy as previous years but there was a definite tension in the air. Lots of orange and black out there but also lots of red and white. Way I see it there's only three reasons to be wearing red and white today and those are out of ignorance, knowing and not caring, or to intentionally spite protesters. There were a number of trash wannabes marching around waving Canada flags who were just spoiling for a fight. It really felt like doing anything for Canada today was just wrong, so I haven't really done anything. Even the snowbird flyover felt like it was in poor taste. So I went for a walk to see how everyone was spending their day and it did feel like people were waiting for something to drop. There's also been a lot of chalk graffiti around town saying Indigenous Lives Matter. I just walked down Elgin and saw a chalk sign in front of Knox Presbyterian Church saying "Jesus Matters More" because of loving course someone would write that. I dont know how to feel about today yet, so I'm eating some lunch and processing.

There were a number of trash wannabes marching around waving Canada flags who were just spoiling for a fight. We were down at Parliament Hill with our orange shirts earlier today and yeah the mood was pretty strange. It was very sparsely attended by normal Canada Day standards, or even compared to the BLM marches last summer, and the various coloured shirt factions weren't particularly organized. It was strange to see so many people wearing red and white around though. A lot of them didn't seem particularly antagonistic, it almost looked like they just didn't get the memo. But there was nothing happening down town, so why even show up if you're not trying to make some kind of statement? We did see one local chud try to debate a group of younger women carrying "No pride in genocide" signs, and there is something chaotic about seeing far right assholes defending the government. A good time was had by no one, and I think that's a mission accomplished for Canada Day.

I don't think every person in red and white is doing it to be openly antagonistic. I know a few immigrants that like to go all out for Canada Day and a few that where a hockey jersey and have drinks with pals. I've also lived in neighborhoods where people where people do fireworks regardless what is being celebrated (seriously who even acknowledges Guy Fawkes day in Canada)

Boy I wonder if our EMS in Vancouver would be better able to manage things if we actually addressed the huge homelessness and toxic drug epidemic for once instead of doing nothing and leaving EMS to struggle to deal with the implications of these unaddressed issues night after night.

Perhaps but have you considered not being poor? Then the EMS would be fine and we wouldn't have to spend money.aybe also consider that 400+ people dying in three days is just a thing that happens to others, over the hill or across the water. Why change it now when it's working so well?

It's great, you get drunk and have a bonfire if able, perhaps light some fireworks, and you can either celebrate the fact that he didn't blow up parliament, or the fact that he very nearly did (the latter being the typical mode of celebration in my experience). And in lieu of burning Guy in effigy, we burnt Bush several times, and Trump once. It's nice!

4chan and Anonymous ruined the Guy Fawkes mask for me, and I wonder if people who actually celebrate it have stopped wearing it because of that edit: oh wait I guess it was always a pop culture anti-establishment thing "Since the 2005 release of the film V for Vendetta, the use of Guy Fawkes masks has become widespread internationally among groups protesting against politicians, banks, and financial institutions. The masks both conceal the identity and protect the face of individuals and demonstrate their commitment to a shared cause... The mask became associated with the hacktivism group Anonymous's Project Chanology protests against the Church of Scientology in 2008."
