@CityNewsVAN Simple. Automatic 30 day driving ban. Mandatory 14 day recourse of class 1. Mandatory overweight 30 day course. Also company that hits overpass pays 100% repairs. Not insurance or us tax payers but 100% company pays repairs and cost for flaggers

With the new year starting with yet another overpass strike in the Lower Mainland, the BC Trucking Association is asking what else can be done to prevent these kinds of incidents.

@Hockey_Robinson Warranted to be honest. Very poor performance.

I wish I had not resigned from @APA in 2021 so that I could resign now.
This petition lays out the capture of APA by the oppressor/victim mindset, which is bad for psychologists, their research, their patients, and the country. I signed.

@jacktodd46 @carolmswain Professor Swain, inadvertently or otherwise, has found herself in the midst of the Harvard president debacle. I think it's good to know where everyone in a debate is coming from.

Why do some colleges and universities have mandatory #DEI statements? I’m glad you asked.
Mandatory DEI statements help liberals weed the pool of applicants to exclude conservatives and anyone else who believes in a meritocratic system. Once hired universities have a myriad of ways of punishing anyone who questions the status quo.
Universities have a “systemic bias” that ensures that defectors will pay a high cost for questioning the biases.
Administrators have ave the ability to make one’s life miserable by withholding raises, issuing denunciation statements, and labeling defectors as the weakest link.
Professors often steer students to preferred professors and stir unrest among students to maintain control.

@Katja_Thieme Hyperbole much! Pinker and Haidt are examples of the common sense academics that will rescue the academy from the nonsense of the past decade.
English

Bubble busting with Steven Pinker’s spiky deck chairs on Jonathan Haidt’s classical liberal Titanic!
Mandated extreme-right professorships at all the institutions!
50% acceptance quota for first-year programs to admit students who can prove they’ve voted GOP!
Matt Lieberman@social_brains
Academia is on the verge of having most of America turn against it and my progressive colleagues are in such a bubble they are just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic not realizing that Claudine Gay is the canary in the coal mine. If we do not seriously reform, we will lose all credibility. Read @JonHaidt . Read @sapinker. These are not conservatives. They are classical liberals that want to preserve the truth finding mission of the university while we still can. In a 50-50 society no institution can claim to the arbiter of truth when they shut out 70% of the population based on their beliefs.

@pop2cas @CarymaRules A tweet from last week
For over 200 years people from around the world have fled to Canada to escape religious/political violence & hate.
I am beyond disappointed to see that some are choosing to now bring their hate with them. If hate is what you want, Canada is not your place.

@Bish03 @CarymaRules I'm an immigrant. My view on immigrants: once Canada has welcomed you generously, leave the squabbles of your homeland behind you. Or go back and continue your sandbox fights there.

@tinamichelehaze @Red_eyedjedi @KeneAkers I don't know about Eurocentrism, but I'd rather not be judged by any cultural collective (I don't deny such a thing exists) but rather by what I've done with it to create my individuality. Please don't judge me by my culture.

@anthonycookppc @AlexBerenson There's clear evidence that something isn't working. Let's try something else.
English

@AlexBerenson Sadly now here in BC, their "harm reduction " model is now established dogma. Suggesting that we need to try another approach is sacrilege.
English

@CarymaRules This has absolutely nothing to do with Canada. Why are we using our police resources for such nonsense?
English

This was the aftermath.
Protest organizer relays to officer that he already advised the sergeant to separate the crowd.
Shortly thereafter, the public order unit arrived to keep everyone apart.

@tinamichelehaze @Red_eyedjedi @KeneAkers You see, as individuals we can communicate. You just started to. There's no need to talk about "us"; just you alone. Now, are you interested in my story? I too have a unique culture and history.

@DudleyWolfeK2 @SURJto That's it isn't it. Gaining no converts with these protests; rather, driving people away!

@ArabellSheraton @MrAndyNgo These protesters will ensure her success I reckon.

@sirkittymuffins @CreatureHabit2 @MrAndyNgo Exactly. No host wants to be cheated by his guests. Guests need to mind their manners.
English

@CreatureHabit2 @MrAndyNgo It sure does, I'm an example of that.
I used to support them coming.
Not anymore.

@CreatureHabit2 @MrAndyNgo It's not hard to predict what happens in the next election...

@MrAndyNgo This behavior is not helping their cause. It just makes everyone hate migration even more.
