For traffic planners, roundabouts have been huge game changers. Decades of studies show that the introduction of traffic circles greatly improves flow and reduces collisions overall by slowing vehicles down. Another plus is the reduction in greenhouse gases, from fewer idling cars, and increased safety for pedestrians, who have...
As an alcoholic, alcohol literally tastes bad and your brain only starts liking it once it recognizes the high. I mean it’s literally ethanol, a poison
I had a good friend in college who had never touched alcohol before, finally convinced him to come out for a beer and he threw up wasted all over the table after 1 pint of beer

We knew 6000 children died in these schools since ages, I learned it in elementary school. Can we not reconcile with just this? Why are we digging graves in the first place?
I like this comment from a supposed FN person:
I was really weirded out by the fact that it seemed people were cheering for bodies to be found. There was no other way to interpret the sentiment, and as an FN person, it was kinda disturbing to see the entire discussion play out. We know the history, let’s quantify it like sensible researchers instead of cheer for different body counts like a reaper’s scoreboard.
How many churches were burned because we decided to sensationalize this rather than wait for the actual truth?
Also, do you remember when our justice minister said this?
Kimberly Murray called on lawmakers to consider “legal mechanisms” that could address the practice of denying or minimizing the abuses Indigenous children suffered at residential schools in her interim report released back in June.
One way to do that is by amending the Criminal Code to criminalize such actions, Murray said in a recent interview, noting Ottawa did so last year on the issue of Holocaust denialism.
“We could do the same for Indigenous people,” she said. “Make it an offence to incite hate and promote hate against Indigenous people by … denying that residential (schools) happened or downplaying what happened in the institutions.”
How can you pass a law like that if you have not gotten the facts yet? That’s insane.
The question is, how necessary is it to verify that the graves of the missing children are at the specific locations pointed out by the radar and other scans? I would say “not very”, but I’m not someone whose opinion matters in this.
Apparently, the Kamloops band, they were given the requested money three years ago but haven’t started excavating
Within the T’Kemlups community, however, almost from the beginning there were serious misgivings about the way their story was being told. The 14 major families within the community made it known to Casimir early on that an excavation of the orchard site should begin as soon as possible. Three years and nearly $8 million in federal funding later, no excavation has occurred.
Chief Casimir says the work being done is “in compliance with Secwépemc laws, legal traditions, worldviews, values and protocols.” However: “Our investigative findings and investigative steps are currently being kept confidential to preserve the integrity of the investigation.”
Sounds like he used the outrage to steal the community’s money to me
Canadian real estate prices have surged in almost every market, with a typical home price doubling in many regions.
