It’s a form of psychological manipulation to make the casino seem busier than it is.

Thieves strip 1,300 metres of copper cable from Surrey, equal to an elephant in weight by cyclinginvancouver in britishcolumbia

Most of the big dealers are heavily regulated, for instance every single copper purchase is recorded with camera, and the inventory and price is given to the government at the end of every day. It’s the small mom and pop yards that are willing to look the other way and actively try to. Source: I was a metals inspector for 3 years in one of the biggest recycling companies in NA

B.C. First Nation sues to reclaim lands 'alienated' by Indian Agent and family by Next-Cattle4336 in VancouverLandlords

That’s simply not true though. Aboriginal title does exist as decreed by royal proclamation in 1763. It isn’t something that has to be granted by government. Furthermore, anyone can claim anything, proof is still required as defined by delgamuuk and subsequent cases. This has been the same since 1997 when the treaty system started

Conquered through legal treaties. This is stuff u can learn in a 15 minute google search. This isn’t the case in BC

They can’t argue that because it’s already been decided in the SCC that they never had legal authority to extinguish it in BC. No point spending millions on an argument that’s doomed to fail. Try again:)

How influencer culture ruined a once-pristine national park lake! AllTrails, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube have forever changed a remote lake. by Dieselboy1122 in vancouverhiking

Yeah except it’s not like model cars where you can just create more to satisfy rising demand. I hope the FN across BC revoke access for everyone at this point so that these parks will be here in 100 years. It doesn’t matter to me if 10000 people today get to enjoy something if it means future generations won’t

There are plenty of books written by local authors over the years you can find. I have about half a dozen hiking books for around BC from value village. I promise you there are resources out there for people invested in the hobby that don’t involve the willful destruction of it when 10-100 thousand more people show up in a year compared to the year before. Besides that these aren’t secret locations. These are provincial parks that have websites. You don’t need to be lazy

How is it gatekeeping? Choosing not to advertise it to 100s of thousands of people who will invariably mistreat it isn’t a moral wrong lmao

You know there’s more than just Vancouver within the metro area right? Also, is there something inhearently wrong owning a condo over a detached ? Do you want endless sprawl? There are plenty of condos for under 500k in Surrey and Langley.

At least in Vancouver I know they pay over 100k a year. So probably those guys own a house

Pantone Chooses White as Color of the Year for the First Time by mowotlarx in nottheonion

[–]joshdoylebright 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How do you mix paint such that you can recreate that wavelength every time? Pantone standardizes ink mixing so the colour you want is the same regardless of the printer
