I came from the water industry, but yes, one stage is great as long as it's not super fine micron it should never get clogged. 1or 2 is fine, I do want to ensure the fine stage is a Carbon Filter = removed all the taste.

RO - is pure and clean but it takes time and pressure to push it thru the membrane + reservior.

Chinese places sells it at 900 + 100 for 2 filters + install... but i can't see a difference when you order any amazon online.

i still remember taking a shower in calgary and man, the soap just doesn't latter at all.

I'm in Toronto and the water does taste different. Lived in Van for 30 years and never had issues with water. it's 99% of the time it's the ladies that want "better" tasting water.

freaking Brita is fineeee.

Try Zero Water filter. I find it removes EVERYTHING. For shits and giggles, we bought it in HK and tested it at the hotel. Water came out super pure. Beats Brita any day.

I grew up with this shit lol. Almost forgot about it's existence.

FUCK YEAH

One of the most sickening cases I've heard. Not just the case itself but its 'judicial process'.

Talking about unfair, lmao. Hope he gets raped in jail.

The guy is only 35 (years old) now. 25 yrs with no chance of parole means he'll only be 60 by then, and 60 yrs old isn't even that old.

So if he doesn't get fxxked up in jail one way or another, that still seems young enough to get off on parole somehow, and he'd still be fully capable of doing some more damage.

I have no sympathy for Robert Pickton when he got stabbed in jail and died from his injuries. I would feel exactly the same way if this Ibrahim Ali dude sees a similar fate.

(But none of this punishment would bring the poor girl back... :( )

Is really claiming that he had a random spontaneous consensual sex with a 13 year old somewhere else on the exact same day she somehow ended up dead at the park?

Wow, such bad luck for him....not.

Would it be bad of me to hope he gets the 'Picktoned' in jail ... ?

Didn't his lawyer tried to have the case thrown out on technicality because he's DNA was collected without consent or some other bullshit?


that's too quick and easy.
I'd like him to get "picktoned" up his ass everyday

its embarrassing that this case took so long to go to trial and come to an end.

25 years without parole doesn't mean he gets guaranteed parole. Just means he gets a hearing in 25 years. Plus in he's a Syrian National and (should) get deported.

Anyways a quarter century is a long time. 25 years ago we probably wouldn't have even let him in to the country but here we are. Speculating is pointless.

This is wild, YouTuber Alex Choi could go to prison for 10 years for this stunt with a helicopter and a Lamborghini

How does deportation work? Does he serve time in jail first then gets deported?

By charging Alex Choi with this felony, he just became even more famous...

Yes but not sure how it works with life sentences/parole

People holding Canadian PR that commit a crime that is considered serious criminality will be deported after serving their time.

Serious criminality is when:
A) the crime has a possible sentence of ten or more years
B) their jail sentence is longer than six months

Latest example is the guy that caused the Humboldt Broncos crash back in 2018.

Maybe refugees are special cases where they're treated like Canadian citizens if they commit a serious crime? Regular non citizens get deported

Pretty sure a 25 year prison sentence is worse than deporting him, where he'd just eventually go somewhere else as a refugee to rape more kids

Yeah I never get the whole thing with conservatives/racists calling for every non-citizen criminal to be "deported!" It's like, so send him back to his home country so he can be let off scot free? Doesn't make any sense.

I don't think they get special privileges. The board that looked over the deportation of the truck driver above is called the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada.

Sidhu was not a Canadian Citizen though. That's why he got deported

Yup, but Ibrahim isn't Canadian either.

At most he has PR through his refugee status. He came in 2017 and was arrested in 2018.

There is no way they would've approved his citizenship application if he had the balls to do that during the investigation and trials.

Yeah that's why I'm wondering if it's different for refugees. You can't really deport someone if the entire reason you allowed them in is to get away from where you'd be deporting them to. So you take them under your law.

Other non citizens would be under a standard where they can just be booted out if they commit crimes

I don't know if that's true, but it would make sense to me

Hmm, I was thinking the opposite. You're a refugee, but still a guest. You should be on better behavior since you've basically been given a second chance in life.

Doing a search, it does seem that refugees in the past have been allowed to stay, but it depends on how much risk they pose to Canadians vs. how much risk they face if they were to return back home.

Kenyan facing deportation after serving 41 months. Faced 36 charges of various violent crimes. Meth addict to boot.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montr...tion-1.3467005

Honduran faced deportation after armed robbery charge although he had previous run-ins with the law. Was acquitted of his armed robbery charge because police acted out of procedure. Was allowed to stay afterwards.

After learning all this, I imagine Ibrahim will probably be allowed to stay in Canada after doing his time unless Syria becomes a much safer place in 2050.

Float plane down in the harbour. Watching the action while waiting for the ferry. Apparently may have hit a boat while taxiing??
