I'm disappointed, that's such a lack of a show compared with our local street preacher shrieking "why don't you shoot me, like a real Nazi?" and then being carried bodily to the cruiser.

Still fun to watch though.

you can if you keep willfully ignoring the police fining you, which is what Bernier was doing. He got fined earlier in the week for organizing rallies, so this time he couldn't plead ignorance and they went straight to arresting him. Dude hosed around and found out.

May as well not doing anything at all.

So Ontario is now in phase 1. From the sound of things from my friends still in retail those mom and pop small businesses that Ford loves to tout as the backbone of our economy are still closed unless they have a street accessible storefront. I may roll my eyes at the mom and pop excuse politicians spout at every turn to justify their nonsense but it does suck for them when the chain stores that Dougie is beholden to get a major advantage over independent stores. I just wish more store owners realized that that government is not their friend.

As far as I know there’s no “new” bodies found here but rather people are trying to recognize the fact that 20 years ago the city sold the old residential school land to some rear end in a top hat that paved over everything with a RV park and conveniently everyone forgot about the part of deal where they said they would look for bodies before turning up the land and the plague marking the school was removed.

Brandon University and Sioux Valley First Nation were working together to get the land back and figure out where the school and the graves are but I don’t see any new information being reported on right now.

This past week I remember listening to an interview on As It Happens on CBC Radio about that. A descendant of a school survivor recalled her experience. Before the sale it was a site of remembrance and mourning. Visits to the site were fairly regular and it was maintained by the survivors, so they can't really use the excuse "Well, we had no idea what it was about. We bought the land from such-and-such and they never said anything about it!" This sort of blatant blindness to the school system is incredibly disappointing.

APTN says that 78 were accounted for in records, but there's evidence of more graves:

If people are upset now, it's going to be a doozy when we actually actively go looking on all these schools' lands. I am totally down for replacing Canada Day with some sort of National Day of Shame. That's basically what Canada Day is for me already.

We can't build apartments in SFH areas tho because developers will profit.

A monthly welfare payment in Ontario is in the $700 range, and ODSP tops out somewhere in the $2500s for double-disabled families with kids and ongoing needs for supplies.

Meanwhile, the Market Basket Measure* for the NCR is $48000.
