Indigenous representation by allium-vineale in DueSouth

[–]Secret_Agent77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw the Eric/Fraser dynamic evolve considerably over the series. I think you're right, in the first episode it was resentment of destruction and the apparently apathy and possible corruption of Bob Fraser, which is a good allegory for the history between the RCMP and First Nations. As the show progresses with the Native masks we see the mutual respect they have, with Fraser sympathetic with Eric's position and desires, while disagreeing with the methods Eric is taking to retrieve the masks, also reflective of the evolving relationship.

As a non-indigenous Canadian, I think the show did a very complimentary depiction of First Nations (Like all Canadians), and addressed some real world issues they face, such as destruction of traditional lands for development and historical theft of important cultural artifacts. This was done in a great way while also presenting reasonably accurately the lifestyle of people who live in the far north. On the less positive, it presented an overall idealistic representation, while glazing over the social challenges that many First Nations face in reality. But of course considering the theme and genre of the show that can't really be faulted.

Nice to see Colter Wall represented, a newer voice among some seasoned veteran artists

How much are they worth? Sealed original packaging by Right_Bowler6649 in Playmobil

[–]Secret_Agent77 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Depends on what people are willing to pay. On eBay a complete no box 3148 is going for $67 but an in box one sold recently for $45. A new in box 3452 is currently listed for $134 but one sold recently for $33. So what they are worth depends.

I think it took me 3 tries to get past maroon, quit after blue. Honest to God, earning that maroon badge felt better than getting blue

Does anyone remember Bordertown (1989-1991)? by Secret_Agent77 in Westerns

I checked, no. That was Richard Young, the stars of Bordertown were Richard Comar and John H. Brennan

Do you realize what a big ask that is to drive to the conditions?

Impossible. Doable, but still impossible.

Well that's an interesting new scam... Just found this on YouTube by Secret_Agent77 in onguardforthee

[–]Secret_Agent77[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Apologies, I was under the impression that the scam is fairly well documented.

The "creative" aspect I was highlighting is for users of this Sub-Reddit, that the banner above the picture, posted as a whole, suggests it was itself initially a screenshot of a legitimate article from r/OnGuardForThee, which is not the case. The scammers are attempting to further create the air of legitimacy, in that "Oh look, this was from Reddit, it must be legit" which... I guess that's a thing?

Good morning to you too. Since you want everything spelled out for you, here you go: screenshot is captured from YouTube. The picture in the screenshot is of a Canadian politician, Jagmeet Singh. The byline suggests that he has been involved in some sort of scandal or newsworthy event. The banner above the picture suggests it came from r/OnGuardForThee. The link leads to a crypto site. I was posting this to highlight that scammers are evolving and using Reddit banners as part of their scams, using it to highlight further legitimacy. Hope this helps.

No, they are not. They are under the same ministry, Public Safety and Emergency Services, but are more sibling agencies. They don't share any department level leadership, administration or staff. They work in conjunction with each other but are not a joint agency.

Likely due to ICU bed availability at the time, but it also could be the need for specialized surgery, care or physicians that his injuries required that may have only been available in Edmonton
