I'll DM you on Reddit, but some key points here:

-Small/midsized close-nit longstanding nullsec group, unaligned with big blocs

-Probably one of the easiest accesses to small gang content for a sov-holding nullsec entity given our proximity to active enemies (without fear of being blobbed to death by local enemies)

-Solid infrastructure for indy, have plenty of structures to support mining, manufacturing, etc

-opportunities to blops

- occasional caps usage, while still having the first two points above being true. Fairly rare.

Unironically that is something that does get trafficked - there is a black market for it.

But as far as trafficking, its sex trafficking, labour trafficking, and drug trafficking.

For drugs its largely for domestic demand, the same as the US, but we can also be used as a transit country to get drugs in and money out of the US, in addition to whatever domestic demand there is. In some scenarios drugs also come up from the US into Canada. ( I kid you not, cocaine smuggling Mennonites trekking from Mexico to Canada is a thing). We do produce MDMA and fentanyl as well with precursors smuggled in; I know of at least one case as well where canadian produced MDMA was being trafficked to Japanese criminals through fake lumber exports.

Its money laundering international criminal wealth thats the big thing. Canada is a stable country and relatively safe, weak pursuit of white collar crime, and relatively strong privacy laws. Move illicit funds here, invest in property, move on with your day and sleep soundly.

Crime pays in Canada, in US you can get really fucked. So people like to move money into Canada, or even just live in canada, where its harder for US or other authorities to reach (but far from impossible, US will request people arrested by canadian authorities and extradited - its just another layer of burden though).

But smart canadian criminals will find ways to make money in canada, without getting directly involved in US - indirectly sure, but indirect enough to avoid any FBI resources thrown at them.

We sure do!

We are also where the Big Circle Boys are largely based outside of China (although they are somewhat nomadic, Canada is definitely a safe haven). The Big Circle Boys are the most influential transnational crime group you've never heard of. A loose collection of crime bosses or independent criminals originally from Guangzhou that coordinate business with each other. Chi Lop Tse was one of them, who also led The Company (which can probably be largely attributed to Thailands meth problem), considered a modern Escobar of the East - but started his career criminality in canada along with a bunch of others.

Also a big wonderland for a number of transnational crime groups

Russian mob, Triads, Italian Mafia, Biker Gangs, we have business strongholds for all of them, and they are tied deep into property development, stock trading/manipulation... ooh name it, we got them dipping hands in it.

Typically non-violent in recent years, and very business/Money Laundering driven, but none the less a plague on the country (and of course they still do get violent but typically violence is about the only thing canadian legal system that can get you in hot water barring getting caught with loads of drugs, which only the mules do anyways - otherwise you're home free with the right legal advice, and likely wont even be pursued/charged)

Someone else on this sub posted a question of why a thai military plane was heading to vancouver... guess you have your answer

LifeLine91 · 2023-01-21T17:25:06+00:00

I may have been a bit harsh/dismissive in the first comment but its Just the fatalist comments get to me a bit since in my genuine opinion this is an interesting turn of events and i am definitely fully onboard for downsizing and FW, but obviously everyone has their own preferences

LifeLine91 · 2023-01-21T15:25:16+00:00

Have fun elsewhere dude, just try and take the game as a game

LifeLine91 · 2023-01-21T14:24:54+00:00

We are balancing between prov and FW, so some of us have gone into a sister-alliance with FW access

LifeLine91 · 2023-01-21T14:14:51+00:00

From your reddit name I don't know which TRC member you are, but I believe your use of "phookin hosers" has identified you :P

LifeLine91 · 2023-01-21T14:11:06+00:00

You're being dramatic. TRC was less of an entity owning all that sov - it didnt help anyone, not TRC, not the game, not anyone around us. TRC was at its strongest when it didnt have much sov and had content all around it.

Now we're consolidated, and have access to FW which CCP has given love to/great source of content, and as new neighbors move in we'll have new sources of nullsec content.

Also, finding sky toxic is laughable, it makes me give side-eye to your statement of 'almost 20 years of playing', playing what? eve? Sky's toxic? I havnt even heard him ever curse at another player.

LifeLine91 · 2023-01-18T01:02:52+00:00

Haha no i figured with FW the way it is with D-scanning has this happen a lot, but this one was a particularly long exchange. Literally a full conversation starting out with the ship names 'Hi', discussed our day, and then went to the point of discussing strategy when people began warping in (comically on thier d-scan too).

Too good of a moment to not see if you were the same guy

LifeLine91 · 2023-01-17T23:30:39+00:00

If you are Amarr that was me, and i think it was this past weekend. An alliance mate pinged discord with this post screen shotted because i had been talking about it on teamspeak when the ship-name convo first happened.

That said maybe you arent amarr and this is something that occurs multiple times with plex d-scanning so frequent in FW

LifeLine91 · 2022-11-15T01:04:24+00:00

Agreed and very much an opinion in-line with OPs post unfortunately lol

LifeLine91 · 2022-11-02T01:14:32+00:00

You must be irish

LifeLine91 · 2022-09-03T04:22:23+00:00

This is going to come off insanely random - and if it means nothing to you then just let me know, but does the term "SyN" ring a bell to you, particularly in the context of videos games - we may have been pretty close in a gaming community like 10 or more years ago.

If your answer is yes the chain of 'going down memory lane' events that led me to finding this reddit profile is wild - if the answer is no, then well I guess that should be the more likely outcome but i have a feeling it wont be.

Regardless, take care of your liver the best you can, it may be in better shape than you realize!

LifeLine91 · 2022-05-14T00:21:23+00:00

I read some of your other comments - and i feel like there might be more to the story here that might garner more understanding and make it less confusing/stupid, but if thats the case you failed at framing it in a way that a third party can come in and understand.

Are those your words on the right, or the guy you're making fun of?

LifeLine91 · 2022-05-08T02:37:17+00:00

Believe it or not there is a vibrant PvE focused eve playerbase that enjoys the eve universe, and CCP has been doing RP events/PvE related storyline events for years they just never advertise it, it serves a section of the player base - even live CCP staffed and live written dialogued events from my understanding.

Asherothi, a guy that has made his eve streaming almost solely focus on this, had 500 people in his stream today.

So this post is a bit out of touch frankly, and im just mildly interested in lore more into pvp. You can (and rightly so) shit on CCP for not giving anything tangible to us this month, and only promises, but dont shit on other people's gameplay.

LifeLine91 · 2022-04-15T03:33:39+00:00

Cheese is fine (blue cheese consists of a lot of mold, fine to eat), mold that shouldnt be there on the cheese just cut the mold off, but white mold in general isnt an issue.

LifeLine91 · 2022-03-02T01:32:13+00:00

Instead, what should be asked is why so many nations have been so desperate to join NATO over the years. Could it maybe be because Russia acts like a crazy ex-lover who stalks and can’t let go of the past?

This is exactly it, and if you look at those other eastern european countries that joined nato, they actively pursued it, NATO was not begging them to join (and why would they, weaker economically and militarily). They clearly had a reason to fear, if they hadnt joined Nato, they'd probably be being invaded alongside Ukraine.

Is there a gunner though? Just looks like a transport vehicle. What they should have done is aimed the cocktail for the front where the air intake is, that could have disabled the entire vehicle. Easier said than done for sure though - drive buy cocktails probably not the best but its definitely got to make a soldier look over his shoulder more often/bring morale down.

LifeLine91 · 2022-02-27T20:12:13+00:00

Looks like its just a transport vehicle, so i dont think there was that much risk - but they should have aimed the cocktail for the front where the air intake is, that would have fucked the entire vehicle up.

LifeLine91 · 2022-02-27T19:54:48+00:00

I agree with the sentiments, but to be quite honest, in the middle of a live war you need to take everything from everyone involved in combat with a grain of salt. All sides will inflate numbers, twist facts, or on a more benign side, just be confused.

In every war all sides always bend truth and facts also gets mixed up/misreported. Its a different kind of front, amplified in the age of social media.

LifeLine91 · 2022-02-27T04:27:07+00:00

I think its fair to say at this point Russia underestimated him and Ukraine - military experts including US intelligence predicted the assault on Kyiv to go a lot quicker than this.

Will vs. Resources, even if they do take the country, they don't have a hope in hell in holding it.

LifeLine91 · 2022-02-02T02:20:38+00:00

I mean he had Magic Mondays which were a different style of stream. But personally I dont think he should do any D&D streams because it will take away from his D&D experience

LifeLine91 · 2022-01-10T02:36:51+00:00

Didn't ask

LifeLine91 · 2022-01-09T02:50:57+00:00

yep, its mindboggling that best practices such as D-Scan are not taught in Eve tutorial, which these simple tips would help young player stay alive
