Also, why are you even bothering calling me names if i have a God complex? You know that would do exactly zero if that were the case. Or are you just letting everyone know what a good guy you are. Stunning and brave of you.
There's one thing me and God have in common though, i have the power to end dozens of lives in a nanosecond should i desire to do so.
You really are a boring person aren't you?
I'm just saying it as I see it, maybe you think posting about killing people is exciting but it's just dumb.

Some would consider this a huge waste of talent. What is the use of a bomb you don't intend to use? And if you intend to use it, why would you want to kill someone?
This is your mental illness getting worse. Don't kill anyone, that would be one of the biggest wastes I could imagine.
Why would you even post this? What a waste. Imagine, if you weren't so twisted, what you could accomplish if you weren't so hateful.

Who cares about Ottawa…some bumfucked 3rd world city in a 3rd world country. Fucking lol
The people that live there I guess:
First of all: Ottawa is not just a short-hand for Parliament. It is not just a collection of old buildings filled with boring stuffy MPs. It is not just empty space where people come to get drunk on Canada Day. Downtown Ottawa is a vibrant and densely populated area with huge residential buildings (homes and apartments) baked inside.
The people making the decisions don’t live there. I repeat, none of the MPs, MPPs, diplomats, Official Opposition, experts, the individuals speaking on TV live in the so-called Red Zone. Many live in wealthy suburbs like Rockcliffe and/or are away from the noise.
Unless you’ve been kept up by the non-stop train horns, it’s abstract to you. Unless you’re breathing in the toxic fumes of the exhaust from the hundreds of vehicles, it’s abstract to you.
Unless you’ve stepped on the crap, the human excrement, in the streets or dodged a yellow snowbank filled with urine, it’s abstract to you.
Unless you’ve been harassed, assaulted, intimidated for wearing a mask or for the colour of your skin, it’s abstract to you.
Unless you’re disabled in a wheelchair; or blind with no way to walk around/navigate in the noise; or a senior living alone unable to get groceries because no transportation’s able to come to you, it’s abstract to you.
Unless you have a child or a spouse who is unable to receive chemo because of booked bridges or because the company can’t deliver it to your house, it’s abstract to you.
Unless you’ve been told by the media it’s a “protest” by “protestors” and it’s “peaceful and non-violent”, categorically refusing to call it an occupation because that implies the “protestors are in control” while sleep-deprived and hurting people are at their wits end and old ladies are taking to the streets or young men are confronting them, it’s abstract.
Unless you have a newborn who is kept awake or are a BIPOC who has to watch confederate flags and swastikas paraded around with impunity reinforcing the knowledge there is one rule for you and no laws for white people.
Unless you are Indigenous who has been brutalized for less.
Unless you’re a first-time activist, furious at the sheer inaction and ready to step up for your fellow residents, taking it upon yourself to organize a protest at City Hall but are met with rampant/excessive fear-mongering, active sabotage and subversion of your nascent protest.
Unless you’re been told by the NCC that the explosives in your park are gone when they have only been covered by a tarp.
Unless you’ve witnessed MTO funnel more terrorists downtown to torture you more with their own exclusive exits.
Unless you’ve seen the city do the same, actively directing them to cause more mayhem
Unless you’ve witnessed the city and the police give your torturers an entire baseball stadium right beside RCMP and DND (National Defence) Headquarters where they refuel and reload and decompress with saunas to torture you more.
Unless you’ve watched, horrified, as the leadership of the police and the civil arm meant to hold them accountable, flounder and say they can’t uphold the law and they can’t do anything, that the legal counsel that the police relies upon has no answers and kills solutions before they are even attempted.
Unless you’ve watched the hapless police chief makes excuse after excuse for the inaction saying there is no policing solution and it’s more of a societal problem, insisting no officers are assisting them where there is clear video of them giving directions, hauling fuel or watching idly by as it’s carried in jerrycans.
Unless you’ve seen police come in to shut down the same supply line they facilitated.
Unless you’re following this like we’re living it.
It’s all abstract.
You can log off. You can walk away. You can take your mind off things by watching a show or taking selfies in the snow or walking down to your favourite restaurant to grab a bite to eat.
But the citizens in Centretown? The residents in the Red Zone? They can’t. It’s reality for them.
They trusted the leadership to speak for them. They trusted the media to amplify them. They trusted the police to protect them.
And they were let down.
They were betrayed, gaslit, and abandoned by gutless inaction, criminal negligence and severe apathy in a pandemic where so many suffered, gritted their teeth and persevered.
I’m not going to lie—I’m livid. I’m fired up.
I spent all night creating a timeline of events, documenting everything I could find so none of this is lost to history or in the noise. Taking screenshots so I can remind myself of the depth of what I witnessed. The trench warfare against human reason.
The constant buck passing. The ineptitude. The criminal lack of leadership. How the residents were left to fend for themselves, how they were laughed at and mocked and went viral for amusement when they reached the end of their tether.
Ottawa has a Potemkin police force. They have a farcical council. People living in Kanata or Orleans, even South Keys don’t understand what their fellow residents are going through unless they go downtown and many can work from home.
We’ve heard of the hourly wage workers struggling to make ends meet, the downtown business bullied and harassed into closing, the homeless shelters stolen from, the war memorial being used as a toilet and the desecration of monuments, etc.
But the residents have been totally abandoned with no way out and no way through except some paltry “stay safe” “take care” “have a bit more patience, we can outlast them”. Can’t get bylaw to enforce 11pm noise, can’t get an interim injunction and gets a apathetic feckless “sort it out between yourselves” from a Superior Court judge like an abuser and the abused can simply negotiate the beating periods (maybe only on the weekends at noon, eh?). (NOTE: injunction has since been granted—by only for 10 days.)
It’s easy to talk big behind a Zoom screen. It’s easy to have high-minded discussions about the semantic differences between a siege, occupation and terrorism when it’s not happening in your backyard. When the so-called freedom isn’t terrorizing your life.
Of note is something that I've been thinking about:
Unless you’ve been told by the media it’s a “protest” by “protestors” and it’s “peaceful and non-violent”, categorically refusing to call it an occupation because that implies the “protestors are in control”
I believe this observation is correct, and that the media have struggled to describe the circumstances in Ottawa right now. I know there are differing views on the protest and its legitimacy, but I want to set aside that question to say this: it seems very clear that, for whatever reason, the City of Ottawa is unable to expel a group of protestors that residents claim are tormenting them. The police seem to be indifferent to the orders they've received (e.g. non-enforcement on fuel embargo), and this follows extreme inaction by political leaders. Simply put, Ottawa has been successfully occupied by an external force who were permitted to use heavy machinery as a means of blockade, and now they seem entrenched. Meanwhile, two border crossings are now fully blockaded elsewhere in Canada, just outside of the jurisdiction of border services. It's unclear how any of this will be put to bed; the protestors are indeed in control. People like this commentor above feel unable to secure political representation, police protection, or accurate portrayal in the media. Sounds like collapse to me.

My last job was a few months ago, at the construction site of a hospital we're building.
I was lucky and got on the fire alarm crew, and for over a year all I worked on was the fire alarm system for this building.
I've been looking to get out of construction work and have been avoiding applying for those types of jobs while I've been looking for work. I applied for a fire alarm technician job at a company that specializes in just that, and they've just decided to hire me on. My training starts next week, and if everything goes well, in a few weeks I'll be driving around in a company van with my own helper doing inspections and repairs on our clients fire alarm systems.
Should be much easier work physically, lower voltages than I have worked on in the past which is something I've been looking for ever since I found out a previous coworker of mine was electrocuted at the local mall doing some work they weren't qualified to do.

The new job is going really well so far. My days have been incredibly easy compared to working on construction sites. I've noticed most of my co-workers eat too much fast food and are out of shape. I've been bringing packed lunches everyday, eating healthy. I don't have to lug around as many tools as I used to. I have the van already, but I will still be shadowing someone for the next month while I get more confident and learn to use the iPad they gave me work filling out forms and such. Everyone is very kind and friendly which is another nice change. The office workers are super unorganized though, hopefully things improve with time in that department, but even if they don't this will be great experience to put on my resume if I need to leave this company in the future.

When you bust up weed in a grinder and open up the grinder and take a look at the ground up weed, if its too dry you can tell by looking at it, it would look too dry and powdery, easy to crumble into dust. It has no more soul. Good weed will have a crawl to it. It will "breathe" and move around on it's own if you poke it with your finger. It has an intact essence.

Decided to get something a little different last night, remembered scrons mom sent him this stuff, gotta say I'm pretty impressed and satisfied, smell is off the charts, buds are cured perfectly. Thought they were a little dry at first but after busting one up in the grinder it turned into a HUGE pile of weed and when it crawls like this you can tell it's good stuff. Tastes great in the vape, got a great stone. Locally grown too.

You never had it anyway. And if you feel like you've lost your time, I'm guessing maybe you regret what you did with it when you had it. I want you to know, it was never really there. The concept of time is an illusion created in the minds of humans because we are all mental. All you ever really had was the present. And if you're reading this, you still have the present. And it really can be a gift, depending what you do with it. Try to let go of the past, because you don't really have a choice anyway and attempting to cling to something that isn't really there will cause you to hurt yourself. Enjoy the simple daily pleasures you have available to you, eat, be merry, enjoy the moment, for eventually there will be no more moments to enjoy.

And the polysporin salesman is too hungover to sell it to you, but he still puts on his big boy pants every morning and does it anyway, because that's life, and if you don't take care of your shit it's just going to fall apart and rot.
