@hereforMmaNHL@fosbrooke@GlobalBC It's in the name... ICBC, Insurance Corporation of **British Columbia**. It's a government agency and the government of BC pretty loudly gave their answer = "we don't want to pay for this." They took the easiest out to avoid giving millions in compensation.
@GhadiehIssam@sentdefender It was closed to motor vehicles, they just used flimsy barriers and he drove right through. This tragedy is definitely going to limit festival locations to places that have solid car-proof barriers, sad it has to be that way.
@AzMilance @RBacch39@chrisgailus Hate to break it to ya but US refineries aren't equipped to process the sweet crude produced here. It would cost billions - likely hundreds of billions - to build the necessary refineries. You okay with footing that bill, or are we still pretending to save taxpayers' money?
@tomgriess@GlobalBC@trackwanderer If the bird has salmonella, both the contents and the shell will have it too. The follicle (yolk) isn't released from the ovary with the shell already on, it's formed after. Similar concept to a human mother passing a pathogen to a fetus in utero.
@BobRobinsonn@GlobalBC It's fatal to birds, point blank. Cull the sick now = less spread and fewer deaths. They're culling poultry, which we obviously like to eat (probably too much but thats another convo). It can decimate entire facilities in days and is a real risk of disruption to the food supply.

Really puts us to shame, doesn't it? Other countries out here completely reshaping infrastructure in hours, and it takes us weeks to get potholes filled.
@macmaeland@GlobalBC Isn't it great? That's the news for ya, dragging people into things when they're at their lowest for a more "compelling" story. So sorry for your family's loss.
@elonmusk Why, indeed? Wanna talk about spending, maybe start with the absolutely batshit amount put into military. Ask yourself if we spend more on military than any other country, why WOULDN'T other nations seek aid from the US? According to these numbers, we must be good for it!
@Ames2420 @RobSchneider You do know his daughter absolutely despises him, right? She disagrees with his political views and doesn't want to be associated with him at all.
@GlobalBC --made a mistake, or acted in self-defense, versus malicious degenerates like this guy who harm just because they can. CONTEXT. Why does it take four times!? And the saddest part is, this might not even be the one that does it. Canadian courts will wait until he kills someone.
@GlobalBC If offenders can be rehabilitated into productive members of society, great. But I'm getting real sick of these near-daily stories of repeat offenders who clearly should have been kept locked up the first time. It doesn't take a genius to see the difference between someone who--
@dan_cameron99@CTVVancouver@ctv_michele He could have told a friend about it, texts on his phone, maybe they tracked down the owner of the wallet who admitted to losing it there. I'm sure there were signs that led them to that conclusion.
@TomZillich@centralcity@SurreyNowLeader@OurWhiskyOWF Interesting to know, but I never said anything about the closure. It still resulted in them spending $100k over 4 years to fight an illegal raid. Just saying the BC Liquor Board was beyond shady with this one. Wishing the folks at Skye Avenue the best of success.
@wealth_turtle@Algeria_FC Yet you have no problem with men deciding what women can or can't do with their own bodies, I'm sure. Your ignorance and bigotry shines right through the thinly veiled chivalry you hide behind.
@JKernerOT @harris_wins Hey buddy, I'd be careful with a last name like Kerner and talking about blood origins or how much what race them qualified. Reminds me of a word that starts with "e" and rhymes with "hallucinogenics". Not a good look.
@Bubblebathgirl@StephenKing Having the dignity and respect to speak to someone's face in a neutral setting instead of hiding behind tweets and echo chambers is acting like a thug? Your parents must have skipped that lesson with you.
