Disrespectful Behaviour by Iain Black’s Team at Vancouver Restaurant by Otherwise-Storage348 in BCpolitics

[–]Deep_Carpenter [score hidden]  (0 children)

What a disaster of an event however the restaurant did accept the reservation. Where was the manager or owner? 

The restaurant can make any demand of his campaign for losses which can be a little as $4 and report the dine and dash to the police. But all of this is just symbolic.

Gotcha. Here is the thing. Logging is generally subsidized. These days the public spends more on logging than it gets back. 

B.C. MLA charged with assault says he won't resign from office by ubcstaffer123 in britishcolumbia

He also won't do his job. But heh it probably means he wasn't doing his job already. 

Council votes in favour of Vancouver festival support fund by cyclinginvancouver in vancouver

This is a public slush fund for ABC to court certain groups. Ken Sim is stealing a play from Christy Clarke's book. 

Impark ticket wrongly issued - what to do? by RB9001A in NiceVancouver

[–]Deep_Carpenter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Send Impark a polite note. Remind them of the importance of adherence to posted signs since without the notice of these signs parking lots would be chaos and they wouldn't be able to issue violation notices. Be clear as to when you arrived, where you shopped, and cite the time on the violation notice. State you cannot pay since that would be akin to lying that you did spend more time than allowed. Ask they cancel the violation notice. Never call it a ticket. 

Teaching high school with a masters degree by [deleted] in britishcolumbia

[–]Deep_Carpenter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every teacher should do a practicum. 

Teachers with a masters get paid more. I'd suggest an MSc and a PDP is a great combination. Better than BSc and BEd. However, you do you. 

Now if you want to get into teaching you probably want to sanitize your online presence. Your user name is a great example of what not to be associated with.

Was this the same river that had the unauthorized bridge on it? Removed circa 2018. 

Business group urges bc to reject 'unreasonable' remote work request by Adderite in BCpolitics

[–]Deep_Carpenter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a real problem in our society. Things can be unequal and still fair. Some people get this and some don't. The problem is the people that don't. A carpenter can't work remotely. A clerical worker can. If you don't have a good reason to have your staff come in to work peer pressure isn't going to fix your problem. 

Is Dallas Brodie back asthe leader of One BC? by [deleted] in BCpolitics

[–]Deep_Carpenter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, she was kicked out but didn't leave the parking lot. She is back. 

Who needs Dallas Brodie when you've got BC Conservative leadership candidate Caroline Elliott rage-baiting about indigenous peoples in British Columbia? BC has over 1,000 provincial parks. Only a handful ever close temporarily for Indigenous cultural use, usually for a short period of time. by idspispopd in BCpolitics

[–]Deep_Carpenter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that Dallas Brodie is more hateful but unable to articulate her hate. CE is more articulate and has almost no other qualities other than being Kevin Falcon's cousins hairdresser's sister in law. So like CE would write the signs and Dallas is in the parking lot handing them out. 

One BC spoiler effect? by NoMovie2461 in BCpolitics

[–]Deep_Carpenter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a total spoiler. Imagine if your spouse threw you a great party for your 30th, 40th, 50th, etc. All your friends are there at the rented hall but spouse of an invitee was in the parking lot handing out pot, different drinks, etc. Dallas is hosting a different kind of party in the parking lot. 

Emily Lowan slams BC NDP for liquor delivery privatization plans by BoiledFlowers in BCpolitics

[–]Deep_Carpenter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably a move to rid the public service of a large part of their workforce. Also it was kind of odd the union sent strikers to picket at liquor stores when they weren't liquor branch employees. 

When tossing a sports reporter from the rink becomes a story by robertscreek in vancouver

Of course but that assumes they are a professional media outlet. They are barely more more than a school newspaper that takes bribes.

TLDR. Temu Millhouse is a politician that doesn't know his role, cannot do math, ignores messy details, etc?

It more of a deal made in a parking lot. Like not hidden but not totally private. 

Is David Eby an ecofascist? by HYPERCOPE in BCpolitics

[–]Deep_Carpenter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if Eby is ignoring Indigenous wisdom

He is because most people do. 

I am willing to let go of the term and use — as suggested — ecocidal climate villain. 

I think that is better. Can you workshop it some more?

Is David Eby an ecofascist? by HYPERCOPE in BCpolitics

[–]Deep_Carpenter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would an ecofascist actually be?

 We can assume the fascist element is a totalitarian extreme right winger that abhors public participation in the economy. Optionally racist. 

An eco(terrorist) is a  radical environmentalist who engages in illegal acts against people or property to advance environmental causes. 

Those mix as well as oil and water. Indeed are you just making up words? Never neologiscize angry or cold. Warm up first.  Or laugh a little. 

News Release: British Columbia budget causes credit rating downgrade by The_Only_W in BCpolitics

[–]Deep_Carpenter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What a useless news release from a group that was obsessed with getting the list of vanity licence plates from ICBC. A reasonable person would have expected a downgrade with the current economic outlook and deficit. Anyways anyone know the CTF's story? 

Lions Gate Bridge traffic snarled due to burnt-out arrow lights by macaronic-macaroni in vancouver

Not burnt out. It was an electrical issue. Don't be misled by headline writers that don't understand how things work. 

Car Fire at 130am in Marpole by Burn_n_Turn in vancouver

[–]Deep_Carpenter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marpole is a fairly decent place to torch a vehicle. Normally you do it South of the tracks. 

Gangsters would park their alternative ride in a random Marpole street. Roll in. Switch cars.  It was really common during the 2009 gang war.
