Cool, let’s convert them into housing for homeless people. No I won’t think about the landlords

Protect the children, they cry, while permitting flavoured tobacco or something else as terrible

As I say elsewhere, this is probably just the starting point. Right now they are being fined for not monitoring and as a result are being made to see if there was an impact on water and fish. If those results come back as showing a negative impact on these receptors, the big fines will follow.

They are being very lenient here, but these fines are probably the first of many. They may well lose their permit to operate, as it is within the Director’s right to do so.

The 406 instances of not monitoring effluent sounds like they shut down their water monitoring program periodically (winter?). Not controlling mine effluent is a big no-no. A major mine company got fined 60 million for selenium issues. Also, you risk getting DFO involved, since their purview covers all fish-bearing water, and bad things happen pretty quickly once the feds are involved.

It will be interesting to see what happens. Cool article.

The Public Safety Minister insisted that federal law prevents the government from releasing further information about the people at the centre of those allegations, and he urged party leaders to instead get their own classified briefings and said Canadians should have confidence that police can investigate and lay charges when warranted

Just trust us, bro

Still, voters deserve to know who’s a turncoat and who isn’t.

Yes it tips off the countries that are spying on us, but at the same time they likely already know who is at risk. Further, slamming their dicks in the door will still cause them to scramble to try and recreate the network they had going.

Before curbing commercial investment, price speculation, or otherwise interfering with the hen that lays the golden eggs.

It’s what you do with fascists; just ask Mussolini.

Not that there is necessarily a connection between the two (traitors/Mussolini), but I like to descriptive.

I’m also not condoning actual violence, but scathing accountability. Pretty light in my opinion, considering the horrific things that were done to spy and the like a mere century or two ago.

Same stance here.

Idgaf what party you are with. You need to politically hang by your heels in Milan for this.

That’s a bunch of horseshit. I’m no fascist, but if liberal members were involved, they should be exposed. Same goes for Conservatives or NDP. They are covering their asses due to elections and yet we risk re-electing them.

I’m writing my MP.

Edit: I actually did exactly that (wrote my MP) last night. While my MP is a conservative fuckweasel, I kept my political leaning out of it.

I urge you all to do the same, and send an email.

Is there a list of those implicated?

Yeah, man, you can’t monetize biodiversity! What are we fucking thinking? This is what it should look like! /S

Look at all that shareholder value!

BC’s plan is a great one, and they have some of the most beautiful ecosystems in the world. They could easily achieve this given how rugged the province is.

You’re either massacring civilians with us, or you’re against us!

So you brought in the army to do your job
Of kicking in doors and swinging their clubs
Back in the morning to watch
Themselves on the news
You’re doing the bidding of the money man
If it turns out right they’ll call you ‘friend’
One little favor how could you really refuse

Axes, screwdriver… Y’know. Stuff you might need when camping.

I get the fear of counter protests escalating things, but to my knowledge that hasn’t actually happened at any university, until the cops show up.

I’m not surprised that this was the reaction in Alberta, though. Somehow, I think there’s going to be hell to pay for the heavy handed approach the U of A and U of C took, through litigation or otherwise.

Further, the universities shot themselves in the foot and pretty much took away the option of any future protests being peaceful.

What a bunch of bozos
