I was wrong. It's not that they're immune, it's that they survive/are resistant to cancer.

Yup. Just like the wolves at Chernobyl are evolving to be immune to cancer, but their lifespans are far less than ours. Evolution in humans happens, but it takes a whole lot longer.

Does the UK not have any prisons? Really??

I know they do, so why build any more?? The bosses can do their time in gen pop, just like anyone else.

NAL but I would think that would be a really, REALLY Big Fucking Deal.

Gawd, I'd love to be a fly on the wall in Chutkan's chambers when she calls Thomas' lawyer to verify who said what.

Big bosses will do anything to avoid prison ... even follow laws.

That's what prisons achieve in this context.

Jfc. She's 72 yrs old ffs!

Do any of those laws already on the books threaten management with jail time?

This mom would be far more dangerous than the average tho, because she's gotta be almost starving trying to feed 6 cubs.

I want every nation in the world to adopt laws like this.

I prefer this myself.

Yup. A while back I remember reading that Germany had a system in place that rated manufacturers' packaging based on recycling - the more unrecyclable/mixed media the packaging was, the higher the import fees/sale taxes..

Dunno if it's still like that, but it seems the most logical way to place the costs of plastic pollution where it belongs ... on the manufacturers.

Unironically?

Honestly I wish journalists would quit blaming 'the world' for stuff like this. It's not 'the world' making all the plastic ... it's big oil and big companies that are.

But politicians don't come with facts, so when choosing who to believe I'll always side with whoever comes ready with data to support their view.

I had to go look again! They could be brothers ffs!

Last week, National Post reported that a parliamentary battle is brewing between Hogan and the House of Commons because she has so far refused to comply with a June order to hand over all documents relating to her audit of SDTC.

The RCMP also wrote a letter to the committee over the summer expressing its discomfort with the order, which ordered the law clerk to hand over all the government’s documents on SDTC to the national police force.

In the article, retired senior parliamentary counsel Stephen Chaplin argued that the order likely abused Parliament’s powers.

During Tuesday’s hearing, Khalid read portions of the article into the record while arguing that the June motion adopted by opposition parties violated both the auditor general and RCMP’s independence.

Sounds like this IS an illegal fishing expedition by PP and his hoard of duplicitous underlings.

Not according to Jason Cairney, second vice-president of the Fire Chiefs Association of B.C.

He says during a fire, 42 per cent of the time smoke impacts primary egress pathways. Sixty-eight per cent of fire-related deaths are due to smoke inhalation.

Fire chiefs come with stats. Politicians come with YT videos. I'm sticking with the experts here.

I hate that you're probably right. :(

"Help with the housing crisis" my ass. Who do you think you're trying to kid???

Moody’s Corporation (MCO) Revenue 1Q 2024 - $1.8 billion

Moody’s Analytics (MA) Revenue 1Q 2024 - $700 million

Moody’s Investors Service (MIS) Revenue 1Q 2024 - $987 million

$20 million fine is spare change. Fucking assholes.
