  • A statement from the ministry of health earlier this week said that Adam Kai-Ji Lo, the man alleged to have driven an SUV through a crowd of festival goers, had “no indication of violence” in his presentation to his Vancouver Coastal Health team.

    But of course, Vancouver’s idiot mayor had this to say…

    Speaking to reporters Wednesday, Sim said he was “sick and tired” of inquiries into a recurring pattern of people in a mental health crisis becoming involved in violent incidents. “We need to urgently roll out mandatory care for people in severe crises who pose a risk to themselves and to others, and we need meaningful bail reform, so repeat offenders aren’t cycled back into our communities without proper support or supervision,” he said.

    So, in other words…his “solution” wouldn’t have done jack shit to prevent this tragedy from happening.








  • I think what people cling to regarding the Constitution, is not that it protects democracy, but that it’s intended to protect the public from authoritarian rule. It was written explicitly in response to the dictatorial behavior of King George lll.

    The whole “democracy” part was always intended to be flawed, in favor of the wealthy landowners that wrote it…but the protections provided by it, were meant to prevent any future leader from ever threatening their personal freedoms.

    It’s really too bad they never hard-coded the steps necessary to actually prevent a dictator from taking power, though. That sure would have been useful right about now.
