  • That’s worrying…

    “you must follow legal orders” does not imply “you must refuse illegal orders”

    Without a broader reading this section implies that obeying illegal orders is optional… which also implies it’ll be on the service member to prove the order they disobeyed was illegal, at their court martial. Which puts a lot of pressure on them to do what they’re told, they have to be really certain the order is illegal 🫤



  • This absurdity about fire restrictions always bothers me.

    I follow the rules and don’t have a fire in the ultra safe, grade-A, sunk-into-a-gravel-pad, and surrounded by a 5m radius of gravel fire pit at a campground.

    Meanwhile idiots like this ignore the warnings and do stupid and or criminal things anyways 🫤

    But I know why Moe likes to talk about this, it deflects nicely from the “climate change exacerbated” image problem as he pushes for more oil and gas infrastructure.














  • Exactly. It’s great that the feds want to fix things… but the Provinces hold most of the levers being directly responsible for letting things devolve so far.

    Here in BC Christy Clarke threw gasoline on the fire in 2016’ish and I watched condo prices jump 50% in months. I was lucky to have a condo to sell, but I also couldn’t afford that same condo for the price I sold it. It’s bonkers how much prices have gone up.

    The NDP here has done something, if not enough.

    In the end it’s a pretty intractable problem. As a country we bet on housing as an investment and now we’re paying the piper so to speak.
