  • It appears that they are operating in the open without any effort to obscure. I don’t know this world enough to make any specific allegations, but the amount of death and suffering summarized there must be massive. You and I are just learning of it now but it is surely known to those in power. This website isn’t even putting any kind of “human rights” gloss on it.

    Seem like corporate espionage, mercenaries, money laundering and similar. I also saw Crétier described as a “philanthropist” so likely influence peddling as well. One thing he does is BOLO a free-of-charge service to raise awareness about a dozen or 2 criminal nationwide like putting their faces on a track.

    If you have the stomach you could try listening to this Business Council of Canada Podcast interview with Stephan Crétier. From the bad quality transcript I guess it’s mostly about the fluffy end of things: pervasive mass surveillance and gangstalking.

    Well, I think the answer is yes. It’s funny because when cameras started, all the systems of camera, I remember sitting with investors at that time. It was growing. I’ve always been looking for money. That’s for sure. So I’ve always been in front of investors. People are saying, “Your business won’t exist. For three guards, we’ll put a camera and a guard.” The problem is the more you put a camera the more you see things. The more you see things the more you need people to get involved. That’s been the reaction. You look at the growth of the security industry, the people side of the business. Since cameras have been there, it’s unbelievable. The growth is there.

    what we’ve done is we worked with a lab in Montreal to develop I would call a kind of technology that is able to amplify events when you’re looking for someone, when they decide to put a focus on someone. We’ve developed a system that puts a lot of pressure on the person using social media. We’ve been very successful. We’ve done on the first year seven cases. We’ve caught one person that was wanted for 15 years. The objective is not necessarily to catch more people, but it’s to get people to realize on the long term that the world might be safe, but if everyone was doing their job of being on the lookout, the world would be a safer place.






  • Years ago, I was involved in a construction project for a multi-unit residential building where wall and floor/ceiling panels were made in a factory and brought to the site to be assembled. Very similar to the article’s picture where you see a whole room being lowered into place on a boom, except it was done face-by-face.

    It was a major fiasco because of an error made by the architect regarding building code. Normally such an error would have been correctable without too much drama, but because of all the panels being made up it was really difficult to fix, and a lot of money way lost. The job went way long, into winter, which further lost money.

    So my single experience, which may not be at all representative, is that these projects are intolerant to failure, error, deviation etc. If you could guarantee everyone will go perfectly, exactly the same each time, and no changes to plan then I think it’s viable.

    Never heard of such a project in any realm but they might invent it soon.


  • The canadian policy of poaching health care workers from other nations is truely malignant.

    It’s no problem to me if people want to move here for any reason. But the general idea that the health care system relies on incoming workers that have been trained and nurtured by other communities is definitionally parasitic. It puts us in a situation where we require other nations to have the kinds of problems that highly incentivize that kind of mass migration. If the Philippines solved all its problems tomorrow, it would totally destabilize the canadian health care system. It’s shitty to put yourself into that kind of relationship.

    Cuba sends doctors everywhere, to help those who need. Canada only sucks in doctors and nurses. A real shame.









  • Sometimes big box thrift stores sell big bags (like medium garbage bags) of towels/scraps real cheap. If you have one to drop in at, they are usually in the section with the sheets and other textiles on the shelf in the middle of the racks.

    By shelf in the middle of the racks, I mean like in this photo where the baskets on the right side are. I’m not sure what its called:


  • I think some of the inferences here are missing a piece.

    Conservative governments may both be reflective and encouraging of far-right conspiracy theories and lifestyles.

    But this isn’t about individual choice to get vaccinated. It isn’t even really about community sentiment. it is about public policy to enforce vaccination. Not just what’s written on paper, but what actually happens.

    • black letter law: whether they allow non-medical exemptions, how easily these can be obtained, if they are permanent, if they are scrutinized etc
    • enforcement: how vigilant are the schools and health units at suspending non vaccinated children?
    • availability of health services for those who do wish to vaccinate: is it practical to access care? Including time off work, travel, opening hours, length and pleasantness of appointment
      • my opinion is we should bring back in school vaccines or at least offer after school clinics in the school itself
    • resources allocated to public health units: much of the above would be the responsibility of local PHU. Do they have the budget from higher ups to afford all this? And do they internally allocate sufficiently to vaccine programs?
    • community outreach: it isn’t just doing press conferences and scolding X posts. Internationally, many successful vaccination campaigns have been accomplished by identifying local leaders and getting them on board. This includes religious leaders. Is anybody doing this in Canada?

    it isn’t just the current provincial government you have to look at. You need to look at the past 10-20 years of provincial and municipal governments. And those appointed to various health related intermediary organizations by the governments themselves.
