I could be wrong but Im fairly certain Weibo was convicted of bombing a different oil site, and this bombing that was supported by the RCMP was just a dud one designed to build up the credentials of a potential informant to Weibo for conviction.

well I mean that makes it okay for the RCMP to do that then

Being overweight is unhealthy. You don't get that way by magic. You're either eating too much (a bad habit) or not exercising enough (also a bad habit).

I agree that gluttony and sloth are to be avoided, however if you think those are the only causes of weight gain (or a lack of weight loss) and obesity you are wrong.

If they can't absorb an Alberta tax increase then their margins were razor thin and there's no great loss in their pulling out of various provinces. Also, does the Alberta tax change make its taxes higher than Sask. and BC? I mean, was their entire business model basically the Uwe Boll scenario, where you continue to make poo poo products due to virtually nil taxes someplace?

I suspect they are avoiding BC because they will do no business here vs. the HUGE amount of drat decent local breweries in province

If there's a mincome and it's not enough to live exactly where you want (like Vancouver) but it's still plenty to live in a smaller city, then either get a job that pays enough that you can live where you want, or use your mincome to move to a place you can afford. I'm not saying the mincome should be so low that you have to live in bumfucking nowhere, mind you, just that I don't really care if you might have to move to a smaller or less desirable city like Victoria, Kelowna, Calgary, Edmonton, or somewhere like that instead of one of the most expensive cities in the whole world.

I tend to agree, though I'm not entirely certain the responsibility to handle moving should be on the people too poor to live where they are

Hi. I have been beckoned.

Yes. I do not recommend TekSavvy unless you want to spend a few weeks trying to get them to install Internet service correctly. Have Rogers or Shaw for cable Internet and switching to TekSavvy? Expect it to be down for weeks because TSI can only e-mail their last-mile provider to get support. No idea about the DSL side of things, but overall recommending that people switch from Shaw, Rogers, Bell, or TELUS to TekSavvy is like suggesting that someone switches from Windows to Linux.

Sure. It'll eventually work and you'll find that it does what you want it to do, but the moment it breaks you'll find that getting support is an exercise in futility.

So no. Do not tell people to switch to TekSavvy if they cannot computer.

Any opinion on Lightspeed? I've though about switching from Telus to their cable service for a while now.

Speaking of bad urban planning, the BC Liberals are once again completely ignoring Metro Vancouver's Regional Growth Strategy and have announced that they will replace the Massey Tunnel with the biggest bridge in BC. The $3.2 billion 10 lane bridge will replace a 4 lane tunnel.

Driving in Metro Vancouver is bad enough with the current volumes so I can't even imagine how terrible it's going to be in the Fraser Valley when due to the induced demand created by this new bridge, there are enough cars on the road to fill up these 10 lanes. We know this will happen due to the example of LA and many other places.

In contrast the City of Vancouver has not increased any road capacity in over 30 years and the amount of cars entering the downtown core remains static at 1964 levels despite huge increases in the amount of people living and working there.

Hey now there's going to be a giant mall that will definitely pull so many people into south delta for I can't even finish this post I'm too disgusted with it
