When officers approached the car, it quickly drove off. Police said the driver was operating the vehicle erratically; running red lights, weaving through traffic, and hitting speeds around 90 km/h in the downtown core.

Multiple police units, including the Tactical Support Team and the Canine Unit helped stop the vehicle near St. Michael Road and Pulberry Street.

The driver was arrested and officers discovered he had a quantity of methamphetamine in his possession.

Unfortunately, many media outlets do not understand the differences and serve only to further confuse their viewers on the topic. The only source I would trust regarding any indigenous topics is APTN. The linked video briefly describes the differences between elected and hereditary chiefs in Wet'suwet'en law, though this may be different with other tribal law systems.

I will only add that the elected chiefs, representing their respective reserves, have a conflict of interest since the funding they rely on to provide for their people comes from the government, which is obviously not on their side. For them, it was either endorse the pipeline or lose funding from the government, which would probably mean losing their land.

Also, this video talks about RCMP disinformation tactics using the media to misrepresent the people who's land is being taken away as criminals.

As if the Truth and Reconciliation Commission was just expensive PR.

That would be good, but given the Governments track record (regardless of which party is involved) I doubt anything like that will be implemented.

Yes, exactly. You won't do anything about the issues that are much more immediate because "they" have created these other issues for you. It certainly is important that people don't have their right trampled on just because of their sexual orientation though, and the funny thing is it seems to be the same group that are protecting those that are fucking everything up environmentally. I hope votes are enough to stop it all.

AFICT she was threatening to drop people into "crocodile infested waters" from a helicopter. Not only do they not have helicopter, but there are as well no crocodiles in Canada. I would think the RCMP would not take her cartoon villain death threats seriously.

If the port is anything like ZD, K&M won't work.

It was fine for me, as long as I used a controller. As soon as I started using a keyboard it would start lagging and eventually crash.

Funny to hear that, because like exactly the same here.

Nope. They're usually the first to respond though.

Good to hear, yeah it's probably the wheels. Wasn't that big of an impact, everything's still banged up though (including me).

Consider using a Chemex. If it's kept away from explosions and impacts with rigid surfaces, it'll keep 'working' until the heat death of the universe. You can even keep using the same filters if they're the right size.
