Baby gonna be in high school by the time TES:VI comes out

That;s pretty optimistic. I was thinking the heat death of the universe when TES: VI comes out.

If you look into the bowl, there is another face. This face has the look of fear, joyful fear.

o7 to you, dear Internet Stranger.

I was at Breakout Con in Toronto this year. I signed up for Wildsea, sadly the game got cancelled. I will have to try next year.

I was at the bar with my Uncle when we were talking to a Newfoundlander and non-Newfoundlander. The non-Newfoundlander was amazed my Uncle could understand the Newfoundlander.

40,000 years in the future The Colt 1911 will be the weapon of choice for those who serve the Emperor.

This all coming from an non-Indigenous person.

There are websites dedicated to indigenous businesses;

If you live by indigenous territory, attend events or buy items from stores there. For example: https://alderville.ca/alderville-first-nation/tourism-and-events/

If you are looking for a tattoo and live by Kingston, I wholly recommend https://www.instagram.com/johnnycats_tattoos/. Did fantastic work on my tattoo and looking forward to getting many more from Johnnycats.

You can write a letter to your MP asking to at least update the fucking language in the Indian Act.

Donate money to a community organization or if a community organization is fine with it, volunteer.

Tell racists and those that deny Residential school abuse to shut the fuck up. Edit: If you are going to argue with these kinds of people, remember that they will argue in bad faith. You are not arguing with them to change their mind, you are arguing with them to show other people that you are right.

If an Indigenous organization is involved in a high profile litigation, donate money for the litigation. The Courts are slowly trying to address the systemic issues in the law. Edit: From the article, https://www.gofundme.com/f/saddle-lake-cree-nation-treaty-health-legal-defense-fund?attribution_id=sl%3A3476c505-854b-40e0-9d0e-9fc69c234982&ts=1789022961&video_sharing=enabled

Edit 2: If you want to find Indigenous artists, there is the CBC Music show Reclaimed. On a side note, if you like variety in a music show, you are going to get variety with Reclaimed. You might get folk music then hip hop then punk then pop music all in the span of an hour.

I first thought the vote happened under Kerry-Lynne Findlay however the vote was under Trevor Halford. The bill was proposed by Tara Armstrong, who is a major bigot. All the votes in favour of reaping the Human Rights Act were all from the Conservative Party.

Apparently, it’s tradition in BC to vote in favour of the first reading to encourage debate. In fact, the MLAs don’t get to read the bill at First Reading, in order to see the contents of the bill, MLAs have to vote yes at First Reading. This is a terrible fucking idea. MLAs should know what is exactly in the bill at First Reading.

On March 12, 2026, the NDP moved a motion to affirm support for the Human Rights Code, that only had 3 votes against.s Surprise, surprise, the trio of bigots voted against it. The trio is Tara Armstrong, Dallas Brodie, and Jordan Kealy. Who all left the Conservative Party when Dallas Brodie was kicked out for saying very racist things.

To complicate everything more, the Conservative Party of BC has voted against bills at First Reading, such as the bill advance by Dallas Brodie to ban land acknowledgments and to cancel the stat holiday for National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, also advanced by Dallas Brodie.

On one hand, I can see the argument for “it’s just routine, so we vote yes and we don’t know what’s in it” is valid and then on the other hand, any bill advanced by Dallas Brodie or Tara Armstrong should always be voted down.

I remember reading years ago (2010?) from a lawyer who declined to get involved in a class action law suit against a car manufacture (Honda or Toyota?). The lawyer wanted to file in Small Claims and wanted other people to do it as they would get bigger pay outs and it would cost the car manufacture more money through litigating numerous law suits.

Most likely, everyone was waiting to see what the Court would say about the issue. Now, that the Court had made a ruling about the Prosecutor’s conduct. I imagine now is when the disciplinary actions can start to move forward.

It would be a boon for transparency if the government had to state why organizations are being listed. I’m not expecting list of evidence however an explanation would be good.

TLDR: The trucker protest was really just an anti-Trudeau protest and not about COVID restrictions

Time for a brief history of trucker protest, federal/provincial jurisdictions, and international borders.

Both Canada and the US exempted unvaccinated truckers when it came to crossing borders to help mitigate supply chain issues. Eventually, both Canada and the US decided that you need to be vaccinated to enter Canada or the US. The idea of a host country gets to control who enters their country is fundamental concept of international borders.

What this meant is that US truckers would need to be vaccinated to enter Canada and vice versa. As much as people think Trudeau is all powerful dictator, he doesn’t have the power to dictate to the US about their COVID restrictions.

The truckers should have protested at the US embassy or at the border to pressure the US to allow unvaccinated Canadian truckers in.

The protest morphed into general COVID restrictions. Cool, this is something that Canadian protesters can try affect change. The Constitution Act, doesn’t just lay out rights and freedoms. It lays out how governments are to operate (the legislative, executive, judicial), judges, the Courts, taxation, etc.

Section 92 lays out what is under Provincial jurisdiction.

7. The Establishment, Maintenance, and Management of Hospitals, Asylums, Charities, and Eleemosynary Institutions in and for the Province, other than Marine Hospitals.
8. Generally all Matters of a merely local or private Nature in the Province.

The Supreme Court in Schneider v. The Queen, 1982 CanLII 26 (SCC), [1982] 2 SCR 112 dealt with the issue of public health and Provincial jurisdiction.

The Royal Commission on Dominion-Provincial Relations (the Rowell-Sirois Commission) in 1938 commented on this absence of a specific head of power dealing with the administration of public health at pp. 32-33: In 1867 the administration of public health was still in a very primitive stage, the assumption being that health was a private matter and state assistance to protect or improve the health of the citizen was highly exceptional and tolerable only in emergencies such as epidemics, or for purposes of ensuring elementary sanitation in urban communities. Such public health activities as the state did undertake were almost wholly a function of local and municipal governments. It is not strange, therefore, that the British North America Act does not expressly allocate jurisdiction in public health, except that marine hospitals and quarantine (presumably ship quarantine) were assigned to the Dominion, while the province was given jurisdiction over other hospitals, asylums, charities and eleemosynary institutions. But the province was assigned jurisdiction over “generally all matters of a merely local or private nature in the Province”, and it is probable that this power was deemed to cover health matters, while the power over “municipal institutions” provided a convenient means for dealing with such matters.

Dominion rather than by the province". "Dominion jurisdiction over health matters is largely, if not wholly, ancillary to express jurisdiction over other subjects … " Thus historically, at least, the general jurisdiction over public health was seen to lie with the provinces under s. 92(16) “Generally all matters of a merely local or private Nature in the Province” although the considerable dimensions of this jurisdiction were unlikely foreseen in 1867.

This view that the general jurisdiction over health matters is provincial (allowing for a limited federal jurisdiction either ancillary to the express heads of power in s. 91 or the emergency power under peace, order and good government) has prevailed and is now not seriously questioned (see Rinfret v. Pope (1886), 12 Q.L.R. 303 (Que. C.A.), Re Bowack, supra, Labatt Breweries of Canada Ltd. v. Attorney General of Canada, 1979 CanLII 190 (SCC), [1980] 1 S.C.R. 914, per Estey J.).

The medical treatment of drug addiction is a bona fide concern of the provincial legislature under its general jurisdiction with respect to public health. The constitutional question to be answered is whether the “dominant or most important characteristic” of the Heroin Treatment Act is the medical treatment of drug addiction.

Public health squarely falls into the jurisdiction of the Provinces. Great, we know who have to protest. That would be the Premiers, so let’s all head down to the…Canada’s capital to protest the Federal Government who doesn’t have jurisdiction over public health matters outside very specific situations such as border controls and prisons.

Let’s all be clear that the trucker protest really was just an anti-Trudeau protest.
