"you fuckers can't even follow your own rules" is SOP for the federal government, regardless of ruling party.

I think the actual honest and decent thing to do would be to seize the church's assets in this country under whichever criminal organization laws we have, and distribute the assets to first nations. Also, drop all the court fights.

Starting my new life in Canada by embracing the quirks of local culture. Just out for a rip, drinking a double double, on my way to the keg. Might sign up fo a million dollar mortgage later.

infernal machines posted:It could also be a lock, frankly it doesn't matter much. It is not a swastika or anything like a swastika is my point. There's no need to go digging for Nazi symbology and white power coding in CPC ads. They suck out loud enough without having to try to make everything Nazi adjacent too. One does not need to look any further than that to see the blatant white supremacist signaling.

Seems like the poster who is being referred to as a tankie is calling for less loving around in other countries, not more. Problem being, they seem to see us as part of the American empire. We are a client state. "Cooked barbarians", if you will. We can only say no so loud, and so often. I suspect that would have less effect on the empire's tiller than may be taken for granted. Eta. Yeah, it's lovely we got caught in the middle of this.

I've only ever dipped my toe in Quebec for a night of drinking at 18, since Ottawa wouldn't serve me. Like our good squirrel friend said, as a visitor, a smile, pointing, and an attempt at using my cereal box Francais worked great. Same when visiting the tiny village in France where my MIL lived, and same when I got a few hours to leave the ship in Tunisia.

Kibayasu posted:I believe most fish farms at the moment are stationary net enclosures floating in the ocean, but close to land for access and probably in some undeveloped cove to not disrupt anything and to protect against storms. They are filled with hundreds of thousands if not millions of fish. The problem is that fish piss and poo poo, or whatever fish do, a lot. Even with a consistent current through the net that many fish in a small area will quickly create an unnatural biohazard that not only infects the fish in the net with some nasty diseases and parasites but affecting marine life in the surrounding area as well. The currents necessary to allow the fish in the farm to even survive long enough to adulthood can carry all the problems a surprising distance. There is a small tank based farm on land near Port McNeill, owned by one of the local first nations, but there are countless more in the waters nearby, owned by some Norwegian multinational corp. Apparently the tank based ones allow for better control and monitoring of conditions, so you can have healthier, less stressed livestock. Buuuuuuut, all that infrastructure and operating the system is more expensive than a floating net enclosure anchored just out of most public view, so it's not the absolute cheapest way of doing things. Of course, you get a lot of pushback from those with an interest in the status quo when you suggest that there might be a less harmful, more sustainable method.

There should be a process where somebody can say "Your illness is impacting the quality of your work to an unacceptable degree. We need you to take the time necessary to get better." That should be compassionate enough.

Franks Happy Place posted:Well at the moment BC is literally cut off from the rest of North America by land for the foreseeable future, so I guess our theoretical status in the Canadian poo poo tier pecking order is purely hypothetical at this point. This is some little Toronto syndrome thinking. You are not the center of the universe. The Vancouver area is not the province of British Columbia. Your small area might be cut off, not the whole province. Good idea to stock up though. And I agree we have a garbage gov.

I dropped a lovely hot-take that was unprovoked. I lurk here all the time, and usually don't post because I catch myself before I make a fool of myself. Today is an off day, and one slipped through. I should have recognised the stress and frustration that was obviously being expressed in your post. I was unkind, and would like to apologise . Silver lining being, there are good paying jobs available right now in the various marine industries.

eXXon posted:Apparently packs of dozens of feral hogs are a genuine problem in many parts of Canada. Guess we have to loosen assault weapon restrictions. That is what I've always seen as a good use for an AR, apart from target shooting. Too small of a calibre for deer. Quick follow up shots could be useful when there's a herd tearing up your garden, and they have a predilection for fighting, rather than fleeing when scared/angry.

This sum sorta 'merican psyop? Freakin mod listens to feedback a couple of times within the past day!? No double down on kneejerk actions? Didn't even make me idly think "whoever gave this clown buttons is sure to regret that!". Dang Koos Group, I'm unfamiliar with yah, but nice job so far in here. Reasonable mod action makes me a bit nervous about when the other shoe will drop, or rug pulled out, etc.

Here's a no brainer choice: Increase your tax base by drawing from a world wide talent/knowledge/experience pool, while simultaneously expressing compassion for those who need to flee their homes due to factors outside their control, or you could do it via homegroan wheat kings / oilmen / loggers. Having been raised by and around "old stock" shitheads, I would say we've have enough of us, let's see where else we might gain strength from.

Yeah fit testing. My employer has been obligated to fit test and provide me with a full face respirator. Testing must happen on a 2 year schedule. I have been fit tested 3 times since I started in 2008. Never been provided a respirator. But if I let my stubble grow more than a micron, there's some officious prick jumping straight on my rear end telling me to shave. It has always been about the facade.

I'm with ARACHTION on this one. Everyone at my work wears them due to the ease of putting them on and off. We need steel toes part of the time, but not in the office. West coast location though. I wouldn't wear them in the snow. Regarding the cowboy hat analogy, the presence or absence of blundstones doesn't really tell at a glance how likely someone is to call me a f*g and throw a punch. The hat can sometimes be a good warning sign. B33rChiller fucked around with this message at 09:15 on Jan 19, 2022 |
