Arsonist Is Caught Lighting Cars On Fire...
It's Edmonton, he was just trying to keep warm.
Massive Load
Being Edmonton, I'd expect some sort of oil refinery boiler.
Footage of arrest by police in Canadian convenience store
Keep in mind, this is Edmonton.
It is not reflective of the rest of Canada. They call Alberta the Texas of Canada for a reason.
Alberta RCMP - Suspect falls through ceiling
I've been to Edmonton once long ago, in January. I have only two words to describe it. Freezing fog!
Because... Edmonton.

Actually, just being in Edmonton is a horrorshow (says the guy from Ontario)

Sweet. My cousin worked on all three of these movies. The two sequels were filmed right here in Edmonton.
Colbert To Trump: 'Doing Nothing Is Cowardice'
Canadian devil's advocate here.
We've got incredibly strict gun laws up here by comparison to the US. So our country has done the 'more than nothing' on gun laws. 3 days before the LA shooting we had a terror attack up here in Edmonton but the attacker used vehicles and a knife.
If we accept the rationale that current levels of freedom to own guns is leading to higher body counts and that restricting those freedoms will reduce body counts, that rationale is slippery.
Here's the parallel.
If we accept the rationale that current levels of freedom to 'practice religion' is leading to higher body counts then restricting those freedoms will reduce body counts.
Because, the Attacker in Edmonton was a Somali refugee. They had an ISIS flag in their car. The US tried to extradite him before Canada welcomed him with open arms. Canadian police even investigated him before when a co-worker reported him advocating genocidal ideas about Shiite scum.
We had a lot of potential red flags that we could have acted harder on or used for profiling and in this case having him in jail would've prevented the attacks.
The thing is, it is NOT immediately self evident that restricting those freedoms is objectively the best answer.
Personally, banning automatic weapons as my country has seems a very sane thing to do. Countering myself though, would the Catalonians in Spain be getting beaten up for holding a vote if the residents had automatic weapon in their basements or would the police show a little more respect to the citizen's than they did?
Father of one of the (injured) victims on NPR, when interviewed, took the time to point out he was and will continue to be a 2nd amendment zealot (for there's no other word for these people). He gave a thoughtful comment that one man had affected thousands of lives with his shooting spree. When the interviewer asked the father what he thought about one man having such (fire) power readily available TO ENABLE him to affect so many lives, the father had no response.
"Alternative Math" - The confusing times we live in
They play this like it's a hypothetical future when up here in my part of Canada it's actually more historical.
A teacher in Edmonton was fired for giving student's a zero on assignments they didn't hand in:

After a few years in court he's won on appeal but yet to be seen if that's going to be the end of it. In my province of Manitoba, there is a tacit no fail policy in place where keeping any kids back a grade is almost unheard of. Not only does it require parent's permission and approval before holding a student back, but sometimes even then kids have been pushed along forwards a grade, ready or not.
If you look through and provincial standard math curriculum, it includes gems like this.

For a problem like 7 + 5, providing the answer 12, is incorrect. You are instead supposed to show multiple methods of solving the problem, like saying 7 is the same as 2+5 and I know 5+5 is 10, so 10 +2 is 12, thus the answer is 12. It's absolute stupidity, institutionalised and made into a standard. The nutjobs like those in this video have already pretty much 'won' up here in Canada and the struggle is to get back to a sane world where Math and education aren't butchered.
