And people wonder why the provincial government has school boards in their crosshairs.

To some, facts and reality don't matter.

But as @FJAG points out, that wasn't an aid to the civil power situation; it was considered an insurrection (under the laws of the day).

I'm not surprised by the sentences. The length of time it took for the charges to be processed by the courts resulting in everybody losing interest. The world has moved on. It's not particularly uncommon except when the charges are considered a crime against the person.

In the 'aid of the civil power' role (crowd control, etc.), the authority to crack heads is the same a civilian law enforcement so it boils down to staffing and deployment. As we saw in Ottawa (once OPS got out of its way), civilian law enforcement is well up to the task.

I suspect a lot of these consultations, particularly with cel towers, are pro forma and they just aren't prepared for in-depth feedback. But I agree that a response like that is bad form. Surely the proposed tower wasn't unique and they could have pulled technical data from another one.

Well, you made me go to the County soil map. It seems half of the plot is decent sandy loam but the part up against the Minising Swamp is good soil but poorly drained. Recalling my time working summers on a family farm just west of there, it is generally good soil. The Alliston area used to...

I want to believe there is a good reason why the Clearview site was considered over some no-longer-used ground on Base Borden a few kliks south, rather than buying land on the market. Someone earlier mentioned UXO from previous Base uses, which would make sense. Didn't they work tooth and nail...

Cool; although I'm no sure it answers my question. Are you wanting to keep them in your pocket and only haul them out once you get to an event or venue?

Curious why you want to walk around with your medals in a pocket.

By the read of some of the Kawartha comments, it might have been helpful to have an aluminum foil dispenser at the open house. A mix of anti-everythings (probably typed on a phone requiring a cel-tower) and NIMBYs who are ok if it is somebody else's backyard.

On that note, according to some, Canada is complicit is war crimes because the cameras are made in Hamilton. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/canadian-miliary-technology-1.7650129

And they could work the land at night without lighting because everything will have that healthy glow. The provincial government can do that with the stroke of a pen, with or without the municipality's consent. I imagine the federal government has at least similar authority.

I suppose my perspective of three scope and 10 + is a little longerthan some. Sure, wages and prices have probably had a disparity since Ork chiseled the first stone coin. The 'housing crisis' (however defined) is, at best, 10 years old. Similarly, I comfortably derostered from my doctor...

Those are fairly recent pressures, though. The Canadian tradition of military under funding is decades long. It could be argued that the Canadian public, through its government, has prioritized what it wanted more than what it needed.

Curious what a 'use of force' security guard is. The designation does exist in Ontario legislation.

I was really disappointed when I saw that. Not only the position he took, but how he did it. Yelling over the counter is anything but professional and deescalating.

I'm guessing it was more like a Crown agency believing they could operate independent of government influence - then the phone call happened. I agree that if they had chosen, say, downtown Toronto, Ottawa and Bancroft the pilot would not have been stillborn. It just struck me as bureaucratic...
