The same concrete architecture, traffic jams, mobs of obnoxious people and generic restaurants. Canada's centrepiece is the outdoors. The Canadian Rockies are a fantastic place. No they aren’t. Agreed re the outdoors, and not just the Rockies either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being able to draw that much cash and having authentic looking police cars are huge alarm bells. I've got a feeling this will be like the Vegas shooter where it the investigation goes nowhere and the whole thing gets memory hole'd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fife Saint Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 That's an amazing story. Not quite the triggered nutjob that was thought at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpar Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 The RCMP are a total gang! Their "Mr Big" technique is mental. And they seem to be absolute c**nts to first nations people and have been since they were formed. Also not big fans of Quebec separatists. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_controversies_involving_the_Royal_Canadian_Mounted_Police#Early_controversies 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always with America there is loads of weird stuff around the margins of the story. MGM own the hotel and loads of big players sold or shorted their stock just before the incident and there has been subsequent violent/mysterious deaths of quite a few survivors.

101 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Seems like the Catholic church have yet more explaining to do this time in Canada. Also seems to have prompted an inquest and revolt against the colonial activities of the first settlers from Europe with Queen Vic and Queen Liz statues getting toppled. https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/report-751-bodies-found-indigenous-school-canada-78466234 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are hundreds of unsettled law suits regarding land settlement in BC, but on the whole they do have full control of their lands here and this is not about that at all. This is about accountability , first nations peoples want answers and so do most right minded Canadians . They also want proper investigations about the mass graves that they have known about but said f**k all about They want DNA testing to identify these children and how they died. Its raw as f**k right now, many folk don't think there is enough done by the government to investigate and even take down monuments of people responsible for the residential school system. The Federal and Provincial governments have previous when dealing ( or not ) with First Nations sensitive issues ie fucking nothing or dragging heels. Google the Highway of Tears , at least 40 indigenous women went missing on an isolated highway way up north over a period of years, also Robert Picktons pig farm murders ....clear systemic racism. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was brutal , Lytton making history then wiped off the face of the earth three days later. It was horrendous on Monday in Vancouver, 52c on my balcony and 31c in the Living Room. I lived in my air conditioned bedroom for 2 days like a fucking serial killer, blinds closed walking about in the scud not knowing what time it was inhaling edibles every few hours to get through it. I didn't lose my house though. And its not even proper fire season yet. Could be a terrible summer ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
