Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
@quasi, i thought I might as well balance out the discussion with my biased POV. I stayed local for school, loved it, and will encourage all 3 of my kids to do the same. I also spent 2 years away for my second job (a few years out of school).
To me, the balance is between expediting maturity in the form of chores, being on time, etc vs the possibility of negative influences, and maybe selfishly, where they choose to raise their family.
There are always edge cases, like the kid who stays local and never grows up because their parents do everything for them, or the kid who goes away and does drugs and has 3 baby mommas..
I don't believe its necessary to move away to develop maturity and discipline, and I think there are some interesting risks involved with sending your kids away depending on the college, the culture, and your own values.
You know your kid best and what they would benefit from, good luck!

That wasn’t the case though they didn’t just go to the event and dig through the garbage, they were actively setting people up to collect their DNA by the sounds of it
Sure, but they weren't compelling people to give their used cup back.
They know it will get thrown out... Personal rights trumps doing things legally.
Eby keeps saying on how bad these bad people do but never on the protocols.
again, I'm getting all these from articles on Pac Press so it might be bias.
All in all, boss tells you to do it, you do it... catch them first, screw them over their flow and deal with the legal stuff later.
Cops knew it's illegal but when top down says just do it... do it.
Sure, but they weren't compelling people to give their used cup back.
this kinda sounds like they were, depending on what you consider to be compelling.

But when that didn’t yield a breakthrough, police devised a new plan to obtain DNA without permission. They would secretly collect DNA at a Kurdish New Year celebration, known as Newroz, at Burnaby’s Barnet Marine Park on March 25, 2018, the recordings revealed.
An RCMP officerexplained the operation to the B.C. Supreme Court in November 2022 calling it an “incentive-based scenario.”
“The specific scenario was a taste test of tea,” the officer told the court.
He said officers dressed as market researchers for a tea company and roamed around the Newroz celebration, offering free samples. He said the participants were also given Tim Hortons gift cards.
“I believe it was a $5 gift card, but I can’t be certain on the amount,” the officer said.
“The participants (who) elected to participate in this event, (and) it was entirely voluntary, could elect to provide personal information which would further give them the possibility of being entered into some form of contest or sweepstakes. This, again, was voluntary.”
But participants were never told the tea company was fake and the entire process was designed solely to allow police to obtain their DNA and identities.
The officer said the cups were “individually and uniquely numbered” so police could later match DNA on the cups with names on the contest forms.

I think for this case, the Civil Liberties lawyers should just be quiet and let it slide ... pick another case to be that SJW champion.
How do they sleep at night knowing what they are pushing for could possibly let convicted child rape/murder walk?
He did admit to SAing her.... wtf....
I couldn't keep watching, every time he said "finger"... I kept waiting for him to say "bang" instead of "board" and having this "Yahhhhhh... oh no... not this time" feeling, it got too intense after awhile.
Do NOT go with that window company that advertises on TV, renewal by Andersen or whatever lol they are the biggest fucking scam running. I’ve met 3 seperate people who used them, all 3 have the exact same story, a basic window replacement was $5000 after some long winded BS story lol, it’s like they work off a script.
If you’re looking at vinyl windows, Starline makes the best vinyl windows in BC imo. And they have great techs, great quality control etc. know quite a few people involved there

It's funny you mention them because they brought me their flyer and I said absolutely not.
Friends who live around the corner used them and it was fucking hilarious as their commercials show these white guys their “professional” technicians etc. they obviously use almost exclusively contractors.
So the day rolls around for the window replacement and 3 Mexican guys show up from “Andersen” who barely spoke English, they start cutting out the window and realize it’s some fucked up window anchored into the structure of the home. Long story short a 5 hour jog ended up taking 5 days because they destroyed the inside drywall as well as the kitchen backsplash simply getting the old window out lol. Fucking clowns
I’ve also heard stories of them going door to door and when a woman answers they tell her “maybe you should consult with your husband when he’s home”

Sounds like my experience with "Leaf Filter Gutter" people.
Local reps are just some salesperson working out of their car, and some nobody contractor for installation.
Much better to go to the installation contractor directly.
I used Thermal King here on the island for a few various windows. They used Thermoproof windows, also manufactured here on the island (Cobble Hill). I'm happy with both the quality of installation (which was completely problem free and seamless) and the windows themselves.
