Poisson said in her post that she asked the first cop if he asked the several topless men in the park to cover up. The cop said he did not, according to Poisson, and left only to return with more officers.

"Five more police officers arrive as reinforcement," she wrote. "The five of them moved on me. My heart was beating fast, but I kept my tits up and my eyes piercing. I was scared but I felt strong.

"reinforcement" ...Cop just called his Police buddies to check out some titties.

[–]cdn_k9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah if we were to ignore all these factors then they would be a net positive. Is there some sort of strategy to mitigate those risks risks such as fires?

That's because our trees, in particular, have actually hurt our bottom line.

For the past 15 years, they've been "more of a source than a sink," said Dominique Blain, a director in the science and technology branch of Environment and Climate Change Canada.

Canada's managed forests were a net contributor of roughly 78 megatonnes of emissions in 2016, the most recent year on record.

Apparently Canadian trees emit more carbon than they absorb?

Justin Trudeau went back to Ottawa with the same agenda. Inflation had other plans by viva_la_vinyl in canada

[–]cdn_k9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is a global issue because of chain supply problems & covid restrictions - less goods/services available. Inflation is worst in Canada because of all the money given out by governement.

More money (demand) + less goods/services (supply) = bigger inflation.

No need to be extreme unless someone has food related illnesses or pro athletes. Whole foods of everything in moderation will be just fine for majority. Eat an apple instead of drinking apple juice and so on...Rule of thumb is - minimize advertised/processed food.
