And in other news, the liberals voted today to give themselves a 50 dollar-per-tonne pay increase at the taxpayer's expense.... :)

You are the one who came looking for a fight. All i said was it's a good idea to prepare for extreme weather seeing as that's a thing now. You've tried everything under the sun to try to suggest there is no such thing as extreme weather, which is a completely rediculous and indefensible...

Bud you're clearly not even watching canadian news. And while nobody knows what you mean by a 'catagory one' storm, if you're using the US system that's the mildest there is. sooooo..... don't know what you thought was going to happen.... To be blunt it just sounds like you're making shit up...

Magically, despite not having a degree in medicine or gov't funding, i can predict it where they can't apparently. It will go back to normal when a) - our lives go back to normal for about a year or so and people get a little sick and develop the same levels of natural immunity they always had...

You had to go back to april to make that work. Wow. So basically the word shows up every month or so - and you feel overwhelmed. You weren't trying to make a point. You were making light of tragedy and then decided to try to justify it with a pathetically weak argument. If you're going to...

I don't even know WHAT happened. Its' all VERY weird, this was handled differently than we've seen any other major protest. I mean this isn't the first time, we had the G7 protests which were rolling protests for weeks and basically shut the city down (no honking tho. Amateurs .) But this was...

In a thread about extreme weather. So - you've noticed a number of occurrences of the topic being discussed in the thread where that topic is being discussed. Seriously. Do you need me to tell you what that sounds like? Just checked 5 stories from the financial post. Didn't find the word...

I have no idea - canada does not have a rating system so it kind of sounds like you listen to people who just make crap up. Which actually would explain a lot. Here - see for yourself. This is one day old...

Pineapple express. Hawaiian express is a freight service. And we've gone over that. So pretending we haven't is pretty dishonest.

None of that is true. They've always been atmospheric rivers, and the STATES have a numbering system. WE do not nor are we close to having one. If all you watch is the weather man on tv they tend to refer to it as a pineapple express and in MOST cases historically they have been. All pineapple...

Bullshit. That's just an excuse. Everyone understands what extreme means, and you're just trying to excuse bad behavior. People died last year due to extreme weather. A couple of billion dollars in damages from extreme flooding. Thousands lost their livelyhoods, thousands of animals were...

True as far as it goes BUT there is one consequence that is important to him, and that's his reputation on the world stage. He already took a major hit and got called out hard when he called the emergency act, if there is now an official judicial finding that he had no grounds to do so and...

the fact he won at all instead of being run out of town on a rail is a big win for him no matter how you look at it :)

That's very true, but traditionally you go get a judge to say "party's over boys, time to go home". A judge usually is the one to say when a protest is crossing the line into being unlawful. Others may have opinions but the police don't actually have the authority to rule if something is...

Does anyone's religion say it's wrong to be black?

https://www.thestar.com/politics/provincial/2022/10/25/election-winners-and-losers-andrea-horwath-steven-del-duca-and-patrick-brown-win-big.html Yeash - i guess it's nice to know that if you're a completely incompetent or corrupt as hell politician, there's always a home for you in Ontario :)

Police always think extra powers are useful. Getting rid of all those pesky civil rights would be very useful. But the point is he had a plan and didn't NEED the act.

I'm pretty sure you're going to pun hell for that :)

Well how about billions of dollars in damage? Or deaths - perhaps you think that hundreds of dead people is just a 'marketing' gimmick? I'm a little surprised at you Ron. 815 people died directly related to the heat on those days - that's a lot of families who will have to bury loved ones...

British columbia, in november. All manner of records were broken: at one point 11 inches of rain a day was coming down per day for more than a week, and in some areas even worse. So yeah - it broke records. In total, 20 rainfall records were broken across British Columbia.[17] Hope, Agassiz...
