"When the courts side with industry over First Nations, provincial leaders throw up their hands and defer to the rule of law. When the court sides with First Nations, they roll up their sleeves and promise to 'fix this.'"

Great analysis on government's flexible view of the courts and rule of law
What Happened to the ‘Rule of Law’? | The Tyee
It was a common refrain during the Wet’suwet’en pipeline conflict. But when courts side with First Nations, politicians are more equivocal.

A few things:

1. Read the room.

2. Crime is at historic lows in Canada.

3. Police do not prevent crime.

4. Funding for education, mental health, drug treatment, housing, youth programs, and other social programs reduces crime.

5. Canadians did not vote for this.

We’re combatting crime — bringing in tougher penalties for violent offenders and hiring more officers to help keep your community safe.

More police spending is not a plan. Mayor Ken Sim and ABC continue to ignore the underlying issues getting worse. Vancouver needs leadership focused on prevention and real community safety—not expensive band-aids.

Very surprising that the president who forced himself on women and girls without facing any consequences thinks he can force himself on countries without facing any consequences.

I made a Chrome extension that swaps Times New Roman for Calibri on every site or just .gov. It also had Open Sans and Open Dyslexic, because f**k these people.

I’m waiting for Google’s approval for it to install automatically, but you can download it and install it in 90 seconds. Instructions 👇

That's right. The Mayor who just forced through an austerity budget couldn't resist a junket to D.C. to be part of today's Spectacle.
