So, as if it wasn’t already clear. The real reasons for forever destroying one of the most precious ecosystems in the world, right in our back door? Money. Not for the residents or citizens em masse, no no no. Motherfuxking criminals by a different name.

#### the BC liberals, with every fibre I can muster I wish Gordon Cantfuk and his assclown successor Christie #### painful death. The spineless NDP that refuses to do the right thing be damned as well.

I figure this might be a good enough place to post this video but it shows how a murderer escaped from a Pennsylvania jail and apparently this isn't the first time that same technique was used for an escape. Also, he has been on the run for 7 days now which is impressive on it's own.

This is 3 months old, so not sure why it was a recommended news story on CBCs website now, but man this guy is a creep. Really just disgusting and one more reason to add to the list to not post photos online.

https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/2238961219590

The news story mentions that he posted disturbing content on Quora, so I checked it out, and yeah, just disgusting stuff.

Green funeral home decides to get head start by storing bodies at room temperature. Nightmare fuel for all involved. Globe link.

The awful smell seeped from a neglected building in a small Colorado town for days, followed by a report that made police take a closer look at the “green” funeral operator’s storage facility. Inside, they made a gruesome discovery: At least 115 decaying bodies.

A Toronto-based power corporation says it's halting its proposal for an eastern Ontario battery storage facility after facing intense local pushback — including someone uttering a death threat during an open house.
Quote:
Jonathan Sandler, the company's president, told CBC that as soon as he opened his mouth at that meeting, someone interrupted and "basically said, 'Get the eff out of here. We don't want you in our township.'"

The company never got through its full presentation due to screaming, cursing and other behaviour that was "way beyond reasonable," Sandler said.

Just outright stupidity. This isn't polluting or dangerous, what reason is there to reject this other than ideological "fight the eco's". Then council takes things further and outright bans battery storage?!?!?!? Wtf even is this timeline anymore. A company was literally willing to increase your tax income, and not only do you push them away, you ban any other company that may want to do the same.

Hell, I wouldn't even include this in the push for eco, this is just storage of whatever is creating the energy in the system. It doesn't care what the source is.

"Someone better call the feds 'cause someone is going to die here." How did we get to the point that people like this feel validated enough to act out in this manner?

We've permitted them to be like this long enough, and politicians have pandered to them doing this (hello, Freedom Convoy gladhanders) that they now firmly believe this is how you get things done. And they appear to be right. This is what happens when you don't shut down nonsense bull#### immediately. Welcome to the new society, quite a bit worse than before.

Ha ha, no doubt. Switching from portrait to landscape halfway through the recording? I just don't understand humanity anymore.

Given the time of day, there had to have been people around, and no one intervened against 12-year-old girls?

People often don't intervene. It's been that way for all of time. I never understand why that surprises people. I imagine it's just something in our make-up that wants to preserve our own safety by not getting involved.

Honestly? What are you going to do? Intervene and beat the hell out of a couple of 12-year old girls? Now you're the villain.

Its a lose/lose proposition. All you can really do is call the Cops.

And the worst part is...? Those girls probably know it and are counting on it.

I didn’t suggest physical intervention. I’d bet if an adult went up and at very least spoke up or get between the girls and the victim they’d back off. Take their photos and say, “I hope you enjoy jail” they’d back off. Do something. Poor woman wsd unconscious. I couldn’t have done nothing. I might have removed those girls off the poor woman. I wouldn’t care that I was touching them.

It was 8:30 at night. probably not a lot of people on the platform at that time.

and what others said, and the fact it doesn't take all that long for 2 people to put the boots to someone, or stab them. By the time people saw what was going on and maybe ran over, it likely was already done.

I don't think some people realize how quickly you can hurt someone badly..
