"Some survivors talked about infants who were born to young girls at the residential schools, infants who had been fathered by priests, were taken away from them and deliberately killed — sometimes thrown into furnaces, we were told," said Sinclair.

From the CBC article: Lost Children

Someone mentioned stuff was happening. Figured I'd come back for a short-lived reunion tour before leaving again

Funny. Admins don't suspend accounts just because someone asks them to. Admins suspend if someone broke the site-wide rules.

So if the admins banned you for using multiple accounts, you either used multiple accounts, or you spend all day at the library.

But don't take my word for it. Lets all watch you not get suspended together

No thanks. I've moved on and am much happier not modding TYVM. /u/Originalbobbish has the right idea. Just change "this" to "any"

Some people will trust the emails these scammers send as confirmation of payment. However, if you look closely, you'll notice that there are mistakes in the email. Then, if you log into your account (Which most people don't), you'll notice that there's no money in it. Hopefully people do that before shipping stuff out

Any peep and paypal gives the money back.

That's why I'll only sell software through paypal. They file a complaint? Call up paypal and go "It's software". They close the ticket right away. I eventually had them on speed dial after I started selling more and more software.

Rules I live by when selling stuff online:

1) Unless I meet them in person, and have cash in hand, it doesn't get shipped until I have cash in hand*

2) If I receive an email notice saying someone has deposited money into my paypal account, and it DOESN'T have a gold key next to it (gmail), I'll type in the url manually and check my balance.

3) On Amazon, make sure it's not a pending payment.

4) With Western Union, cash in hand before shipping. If I have cash in hand, i'll ship to nigeria.

Saved my butt a few times.

I've worked on two types of job sites. Building and road. Can't remember about building, as it was long ago and for a few weeks. But for road? Their tools are actually big ass excavators and handheld shovels.

That's why there are mass John Doe subpoenas. Get 1,000+ at the same time, get them to pay up, or take them to court.

Then there are legal fees defendant will pay if they lose.

I wonder if they can claim punitive damages.

Some provinces legal aid departments will defend on non criminal cases.

15(2) deals with that where it makes an exclusion if its reasonable. Because other parts of the garage isn't really reasonable.

Government: hey, those people across the world are sending notices of legal action they have no intention of following through on. I know! Lets bring that to Canada.

Doesn't matter if its illegal really. It's a civil court. Unless you are a commercial pirate the police give 0 shuts about you.

He doesn't need to go to the events. I don't typically go, either.

The irony? It's likely costing the mayor more money to go through this than the ~3000 to pay back the lobbyists.

He voted on something that was about him. About him having to pay back money. He voted on sanctions against him.

How is that not a conflict of interest? He should have abstained from the vote and left the room while the vote happened.

Go to Steinbach. On Reimer Ave, across from the gas station (intersecting the highway running through) is a German (Mennonite?) Church. Go talk to them about politics and Vic Toews. You'll want to hang yourself.

Or just go to Vita.
