I also got that alert, and I'm up in Fort McMurray. I went into my Android settings and turned off amber alerts and left the other emergencies on, not sure if that'll work in Canada but it's worth a shot!!

Not too crazy about getting an :siren: EMERGENCY ALERT :siren: every time there's a custody battle halfway across the country. Shouldn't that be reserved for like, fires and earthquakes sort of thing?

it was supposed to be, and the minister in charge of public safety when it launched swore up and down that you absolutely couldn't turn it off because if you were getting one, you were in immediate physical danger.

in the four or so years it's been active the only two times it hasn't been an amber alert, here in toronto, were for a complete false alarm regarding absolutely nothing happening at the pickering power plant, and once to remind us that there was a stay at home order in effect

the absolute geniuses at the p3 company running the show have exactly one alert level configured for everything, so whether it's a tornado, incoming nukes, or someone without custody picking up their kid from school, you will get the end of the world alert.

it doesn't, canada only implemented one emergency level so everything gets belted out at air raid siren "the nukes are coming, bend over and kiss your rear end goodbye" level

Another insane feature is that poo poo like unwritten tradition can have the force of law sometimes but not others.

The Supreme Court has imposed "unwritten constitutional principles" on our country that have the force of constitutional law but don't actually exist in any statute, like parliamentary immunity from civil proceedings, for example.

(another fun one is the unwritten constitutional law that judges have to get high pay to guarantee their "impartiality". This case is particularly fun to read in light of Authorson v Canada, where the Supreme Court of Canada decided that a bunch of WW2 vets didn't deserve interest on their pension (that the government had just plain forgotten to pay for decades), cause gently caress em)

That cartoon would almost be charming if it weren't meant to be offensive and probably homophobic. I'm sure there are valid criticisms of the deal but it's funny to me that some people are so offended by the idea of 'different parties working together to achieve something they agree on' in itself. They always have to be adversarial, even if it's to their own detriment.

the landlord also sucks though, that sounds like a pretty illegal eviction.

landlord sucks because they're a landlord. if the situation is as he describes, then yes that's particularly egregious, but i confess i rather doubt his reliability as a narrator.

and on a more personal note as a resident of downtown ottawa, gently caress all those people. i'm skeptical the legal system will provide any meaningful consequences, so i'm not gonna deny myself the schadenfreude.

https://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/ottawa-police-officer-who-threatened-to-feed-tenant-to-the-fish-demoted-for-one-year

quote:

The recording captured Mesic asking the tenant if he knows that “people break legs” for money and what a “desperate man” who is depending on that rent to pay his mortgage and provide for his kids is capable of.

“I don’t care. I don’t care. Sell your kid. I don’t give a s–t. Make your wife do something,” Mesic said. “I guarantee you I’m going to spill blood.”

temporarily demoted after a paid vacation, gottem

yeah but

quote:

A separate Ottawa police internal disciplinary investigation found that Mesic did threaten the tenant. Mesic told professional standards investigators “he was exhausted from working nights and wanted (the tenant) to know that he was serious about paying the arrears of rent.”

Mesic told police that he “lost control” and “that he is well-known for saying ‘stupid s–t‘ that he should not say.”

see? poo poo happens and it all wo--

quote:

He was previously convicted of discreditable conduct and insubordination in 2009 for slapping a youth twice across the face during questioning, kicking him, grabbing his throat and forcing him to the ground.

Mesic’s suspension for threatening the tenant was lifted at the end of July 2020 prior to his guilty plea to the disciplinary charges.

“In this particular case, the actions and behaviour of police Const. Nermin Mesic were clearly inappropriate and an embarrassment to the Ottawa Police Service,” Kelly wrote in his disciplinary hearing sentencing decision.
