Deep Dish Fuckfest posted:wouldn't tracers kinda count as incendiary? Not legally, regulations posted:2 Any projectile that is designed, manufactured or altered to ignite on impact, where the projectile is designed for use in or in conjunction with a cartridge and does not exceed 15 mm in diameter. Tracer ammo isn't designed to "ignite on impact" it's just inherently a flammable bullet. Which is why NRCAN doesn't allow imports as it's a fire risk. If they prohibited ammo that can cause fire every bullet is illegal, since a hot piece of metal hitting anything can catch fire due to the heat.

In a practical sense you'd want police to be using HP ammo because it doesn't rip through their targets and the walls they hit and mow down people just for being nearby, and the grievous wounds they cause are rather more manageable when EMS is already on the radio looking for the location. of course, this is moot when police thoughtlessly magdump in the general vicinity of anyone who looks at them funny and don't bother calling EMS for their murder victims.

Yeah it would have been better if they ended the occupation with the powers they already had. Expanding the powers of police and security state is not good. It will be used against left activists, indigenous, Muslim Canadians etc

in the event of an actual popular uprising (say 75% or more of the population) i don't think money would matter much vOv but i've always been cynical about the chances of that ever happening, the bridge is just too far

Otoh we've had general strikes in this country, the most famous example being in Winnipeg that even had the police join in. There appears to be a renewal in organized labour both with renewed interest in unionization and unions themselves shedding ossified leadership. All these will take lots of time and lots of effort to come to fruition though. I certainly couldn't tell you what would happen when our real estate market finally collapses (but never will as it serves Number).

if the housing market is ever in true danger and going down substantially, i pretty much expect homeowners to be bailed out with taxpayer money, some of which comes from people like me who'll literally never own any property and will keep paying an increasingly larger share of my income to landlords forever

I think this is bad. It reminds me a lot of the expansion of surveillance in the US related to "extremism" and "domestic terrorism" except oops turns out all the cops consider BLM protestors to be "extremists" and so they count too. The fact that left wing people don't have any money makes them more vulnerable, not less. The fact that the government already uses shady stuff against left-wing protests doesn't mean that they can't do worse, shadier poo poo.
