Due Process

Sun- Ontario only province that locks down inmates due to staff shortages

The lawsuits covers a period up to 2017, but the most recent data from the province shows that 81 per cent of inmates in provincial jails are awaiting trial and presumptively innocent.

The lockdowns strip inmates of basic human rights and violate their Charter rights to life, liberty and security of the person, and the right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment, the lawsuits allege.

“During lockdowns, prisoners suffer from a deprivation of health care, privacy, dignity, security and hygiene that violate even the basic standards applicable to prisoners in the correctional institutions,” lawyers write in a statement of claim.

“the biggest and most destructive flop in the history of public health”

What Really Happened: Lockdown Until Vaccination

Four years later, many people are investigating how our lives were completely upended by a pandemic response. Over my time on the case, I’ve heard countless theories. It was Big Tech, Big Pharma, Big Finance, the Green New Deal, the CCP, Depopulation, Get Trump, Mail-In Ballots, and so on.

There is evidence to back them all.

The problem with having so many pieces of evidence and so many theories is that people can too easily get thrown off track, going on wild goose chases. It’s too much to follow through consistently, and this allows the perpetrators to hide their deeds.

For such situations, we can take recourse to Occam’s razor: the best explanation is the simplest one that explains the maximum number of facts. This is what I offer here.

Estevan for the reactor win

Premier Scott Moe came to Estevan to announce that if SaskPower builds reactors, they will be near Estevan. It’s been narrowed to two possible sites (maps in story).

Here’s the reactor portion of his speech, verbatim.

And in it, he talks about how SaskPower just might keep its coal fleet in operation until the reactors are built and operating. That would be well past the federal mandate, which Saskatchewan just might ignore.

And the premier’s social media shared the story, too.

 

On Randomness

Or allegations thereof:

At which point, readers may object that being born in a relatively congenial part of the world is not a “privilege,” or by implication a basis for guilt, a thing for which to atone. Any more than being born somewhere less congenial is a sin, a thing for which to atone.

“I think they know they ‘got lucky’ but don’t really care,” chides one of the subsequent commenters. “Everything is luck and random chance,” insists another. Note the implication that the comfort and agreeableness of a society is merely a matter of chance, of luck. As if the preceding cultivation of values and behaviour played no part whatsoever.

As if culture and civilisation didn’t matter.

Local Duck Hunters Could Solve The Problem

But noooo…

Toronto Star- Ontario prisons seeing more drone drops, with criminals often flying them right to inmates’ windows, guards’ union says

The drone situation has brought out a number of private companies like D-Fend Solutions who said they offer solutions to the illegal traffic.

Shooting the drones out of the air might sound simple, but it could have dangerous consequences, the company said.

Interesting Times in Peel Region

Details of the inside job that was a gold heist in Peel Region, Ontario, are now emerging:

Five individuals have been arrested, charged and released, while three are wanted and one, King-Mclean, remains in custody in the United States.

It was last September when King-Mclean was pulled over in Pennsylvania on a traffic stop that police became aware of gun smuggling. After running from police on foot, King-Mclean was arrested and the vehicle he was driving was found to have 65 illegal firearms in it including automatic weapons.
