Almost every jurisdiction in Canada has similar rules.
It’s illegal to feed wildlife because they become dependent on handouts, and forget how to survive.
So why do we do it to humans?
Bricks and Minifigs - from BAD to WORSE!
This is the body cam footage of the Utah police talking to the former franchisee about the Bricks and Minifigs (BAM) Reckless Ben situation.
The man puts the CEO of BAM, Ammon McNeff, on the phone. McNeff says a number of interesting things:
1) He ADMITS that the family is owed the money, but denies that he or the new franchisee owe it.
I reserve the right to be mistaken, but my understanding of franchise law is that although the franchisor is typically NOT liable for the debts of the franchisee, there are circumstances under which they can be - e.g. if they exercise sufficient control over the franchisee, such that the franchisee can be considered an “agent” under the law.
Given the degree of involvement the CEO is displaying with the new franchisee (the guy holding the phone), that argument might be made here.
2) He ADMITS the money is owed, but claims that Ben (Reckless Ben) has no interest in it.
This too is not necessarily true if the owner of the LEGOs assigned his claim to Ben. But set that possibility aside…
3) McNeff says that Ben and the others threatened to kill someone, attempted to commit extortion, and other serious crimes.
Again, under reserve of the right to be wrong, while it’s not illegal to lie per se to an officer in Utah, my understanding is that it is illegal to make false statements with the intention of getting officers to conduct official acts (i.e. press charges).
With the accusations he is making - that Ben threatened to kill someone! - McNeff might be getting close to that line.
4) McNeff ADMITS the money is owed, but claims the former franchisee broke all sorts of rules in contracting with the LEGO owner, which is why the franchisor terminated their agreement.
Depending on the knowledge of the misconduct of the franchisee, that might be another argument for the potential liability of corporate - if they knowingly let the franchisee break rules to the detriment / fraud of customers.
All that to say, the more McNeff talks, the more damage he causes to the brand and goodwill of BAM - even if Reckless Ben did cross certain lines.
Holy crap.

Veterans are pushing back on Canada's new Afghanistan war memorial, with critics saying the groundbreaking ceremony focused on "the project, not the actual people" it was designed for, and the Indigenous-inspired design left some feeling overlooked — National Post
The @liberal_party gov has once again fucked up the most simple thing ever.
First they overruled the overwhelming majority of veterans who selected a different design for the monument.
Then they sidelined still serving members & veterans who had served in Afghanistan when they repatriated the memorial from Afghanistan that lists those who made the ultimate sacrifice & now they’ve gone & done it again turning what should have been an Afghanistan veterans (serving or retired) & Silver Cross family’s focused dedication ceremony into just another Liberal Party photo op featuring their MP’s & Ministers.
The distain for these warriors & their families couldn’t be more obvious & worse is the fact that they just don’t give a rats ass because there’s no ramifications, no outrage from the general public.
Yes, the same public who when pissed off at Trump’s statement that he didn’t believe NATO allies would step up if the US needed them were so quick to point to Canada’s military presence in Afghanistan suddenly aren’t willing to be equally pissed off at Carney’s abject valour to properly honour those who gave them the anti-Trump talking point!
@MarkJCarney Drop the ball on Afghan memorial, saw the Indigenous design and was horrified. Leave uour politics aside and honor those that gave you the privelage to sit as a Prime Minister!!!!
Literally proof that these folks coordinate attacks!
Explain this to me ! I had a video uploaded by the recall
People slandering me and attacking me!The next day MLA Brooks Arcand-Paul stands up in the legislature and slanders me! Keep in mind he is First Nations!
The same day that happened death threats multiplied and they were all from first nations people!
It’s not hard to figure out who is backing the hateful rhetoric!

@AndrewLawton She's trying to delete/scrub this this a.m. here you go; I downloaded it knowing she'd try. So I'm ensuring it's reviewed/seen so Canadians can decide what the next step is
Democracy is a thing of the past in Canada. Our votes don't count, as evidenced by 5 floor crossings in the last 3 months.
Here in Alberta, a handful of natives are trying to stop the petition.
Do something about it. Come sign the petition, and bring a friend. I'll be at my usual location starting around 12:30 today.
1. Reminder: Tim Hortons hasn't been a Canadian company in more than a decade -- it's owned by a Brazilian firm, 3G Capital.
2. To save a few dollars, 3G Capital brings in foreign nationals rather than hiring young Canadians. Canada's youth unemployment is 14%.
So gross.
Absolutely legal. Canada is on a slippery slope. Government is going to push and the populace is going to push back. Border services need to amend and do some damage control.
@Bahar__Bahari@MarkJCarney@CitImmCanFR Taking photos of people in public and falsely claiming they are someone else is dangerous & can lead to severe legal and personal consequences.

It’s been 24 hours — honestly I’m still in shock… I still can’t believe @CanBorder a government agency would leave a threatening comment. My question still stands: what type of visas are being issued to these regimes thugs?

The evidence is confirming what we have said from the beginning: drug injection sites are not the answer.
Addiction demands real intervention, real treatment and real compassion, not more places for people to stay trapped in crisis. The Alberta Model will continue to focus on recovery, healing and helping people reclaim their lives.
