Still I would approach this with a critical eye as Franks magazine is tabloid-lite from my understanding.

Frank is as trash as trash gets, but as they say even a broken clock is right twice a day. This is a big deal and my local subreddit is going bananas. Now I realize that the demographics of a subreddit aren't representative of the province as a whole, but jesus christ ACAB.

Also, ignoring that response I got is probably right - it was on my (good) cousins post about winter tires or something then you had the crazy trucker supporters come in and I just had to touch the poop.

Just as context, "rebuke in presence of subordinate" is liable to get you charged in the military, constitutes a leadership failure for an officer, and is just generally really fuckin rude and a great way to lose the handle on your troops. The police aren't the military, but many of them think they are and there are more than a few vets in the mix, so pulling poo poo like this is an absolutely fantastic way to discard any excess credibility that might be a burden to your plan to flush your reputation.

part of antivax is the breakdown of trust between people and government/science/authority and some of that is from cheaply used authority and now we're seeing the symptoms of people rejecting the system in all kinds of weird ways. Many of these people are also disenfranchised and dumb as poo poo too and that is a socioeconomic symptom, these are in part failures of the canadian system imo

My dad and I just can't understand what the hell happened because she and her husband seemed totally normal when I was growing up. Something in the past few years broke their brains and they have basically ostracized themselves from the extended family because nobody else agrees with them.

Edit: The only thing I can think of is "old people getting on Facebook with no critical thinking ability", which kind of goes hand in hand with evangelical Christianity.

This is basically textbook what happened with my own mother, (who just 2 days ago sent me an article about free hiv testing kits in sask and how this definitely means that the covid vaccine is giving people aids) and surprise surprise, also a born again christian.

Wait is that why people are posting all paranoid about the HIV testing kits? That is actually more stupid than I thought. I figured they just didn't like people being able to find out if they have a dangerous condition.

Ive been visiting the Edmonton area from NS since Saturday, and had the chance to do the Jasper-Banff-Canmore-Calgary and back route (the Rockies are loving amazing and no picture or movie can really prepare you for it) but that's all to say I've gotten FOURTEEN (fifteen as one came in literally while I was typing this up) wildfire related emergency alerts since being here.

Had a 100km detour around the Entwistle one, and actually got to see the Banff fire yesterday before they got it under control.

Can't believe it's like this in MAY. Stay safe prairie goons.

Halifax city council agreed to force escooters into bike lanes. Not forcing the escooter companies to install docks around the city though lmao, just threatening tickets if they're not parked right so it's essentially unenforcable

Dunno, I get complaints about the things and have almost gotten smoked a couple times by drunk college kids scootin along, but also would much rather get in a scooter accident than have some office manager in an F350 turn me into a pancake which is absolutely going to happen to the scooter users in our lovely barely protected bike lanes. Plus they're very good at filling the last mile gap of transit. Critical support for the tech bro escooter companies, I suppose

I love the scooters, on paper. Having installed the app and taken a few rides I can say they are an awesome mode of transportation- but I've also said from day 1 that we're one moron cracking his skull open away from having them regulated into the ground. The average rider seems to be 15-25 and reckless as gently caress.

Anyway, this is also the city that instituted a "you can only smoke in designated smoking areas anywhere in Halifax NO REALLY GUYS WE MEAN IT" bylaw that was immediately ignored and I don't think a single ticket was ever issued.
