The War of 1812. The French and Indian War (Seven Year's War). Upper Canada Rebellion. If you're talking about Confederation being the relatively late date of 1867, that's misleading. "Canada" already existed at that time. Confederation just merged Canada with Nova Scotia and New Brunswick...

Ask the Ontario people. That's a them thing. Support for concessions to Quebec is very, very low in the West.

I got a really short census. It didn't ask about childcare. I'm very glad because I got a very long one once and that thing takes forever to fill out, especially if you've got a large household. No wonder people get annoyed and write their religion is Jedi.

He's really hurt himself, getting turfed from the BCHRT until he pays those fines. The other courts and tribunals have standards, mostly. Like "your claim should make sense" and "you should allege a tort happened." Human Rights Tribunal gives money for hurt feelings.

Ontario has experimented with involuntarily holding munchies. Unfortunately no ability to follow up on how it turned out unless someone knows the parties involved because they excise a bunch of information. Afaik BC doesn’t put these decisions online. Mast cell munchie gets committed

Well it’s good to know that the fine people of the interior can have their rotting limbs removed at home.

In BC they will expect her to do rehab and to live at home with some home health support. LTC spots are scarce, but even beyond that, the expectation for people who are otherwise healthy but have lost limbs or who are paras/quads is to live at home. Obviously that applies less to people who have...

Yaniv is well-known in the lower mainland. If you meet a normal person who has internet, 50/50 they’ve heard of him. A lot of people have met him too. Greater Vancouver is a very small pond so if you have an overlapping community with Yaniv you’re at most a couple of degrees separation from him...

He and she and his dad are definitely Jewish. Miriam's sister was somewhat involved with the Jewish community in another suburb. Now they're way out where there are no Jews. Quite some time ago he posted a picture of himself at a Jewish event held at Van Dusen Gardens during Pride Week. He no...

No one is visiting VGH right now. COVID. Not sure about Kelowna but I’d be surprised if they were letting in visitors.

Do we even have a state hospital since Riverview was closed lo so many years ago? Looks like less than 10 minutes by car, 30 minutes on foot. 202 st and 88th ave vs. 200 and 80th (approximately). The article says that they could see it from Delta, so I'd be shocked of JY couldn't see it from...

This is not worth getting angry about. Yaniv is not going to prison, not women's, not men's. This is Canada. You can do the most amazing shit here without getting a custodial sentence, especially if you're a non-functional public menace.

Yes, but the female prison population would be much better able to deal with JY than the average Sikh lady walking down the street in Langley, so it would be a marginal improvement.

Walk into any high school and a good portion of the girls are mildly anemic and are or should be taking iron supplementation. It's just about the most common medical difficulty an adolescent girl could have. And one suspects Casey may not be eating a balanced, iron-rich diet either.

No way. Mothering.com was the craziest ever. At one point someone was keeping a list -- not a short list -- of deaths in the unassisted birth forum.

They're very standard lower mainland newer build condos, and yes, very small. Langley isn't like an estate. People are paying good money to be there and the residents are functional, normal people who keep their buildings in pretty good condition I believe Miriam bought the two properties after...

It already is, if my facebook feed is anything to go by. Complete with people also diagnosing their kids with long haul covid -- no positive covid test at any time required.

Why does he go to Surrey Memorial and not Langley Memorial? Do we know? Let’s make a rule that he only gets to go to Royal Columbian or St Paul’s.

You mean it’s not like House? Seriously, my American friends generally report better than Canada, but I’m sure there are plenty of hospitals in the US where drunks sleep it off in triage too, or pull out their IVs and wander off when it suits them.

Canadian hospitals absolutely leave people sitting with stuff that’s an emergency in the US. People come back from alcohol poisoning or drug overdoses with no or minimal care in the ER on a regular basis. Crazy people sleep on the floor. And that’s at a Vancouver hospital. Hang out at St. Paul’s...
