AFICT she was threatening to drop people into "crocodile infested waters" from a helicopter. Not only do they not have helicopter, but there are as well no crocodiles in Canada. I would think the RCMP would not take her cartoon villain death threats seriously.

It's okay because she isn't native.

The B.C. RCMP’s officer in charge of the federal serious and organized crime unit said this operation, and others like this, are crucial in combatting the ongoing drug crisis in the province.
It's only a crisis because drugs are illegal, free of regulations and inspection. If the government abandoned their "wAr oN dRuGs" and instead spent all that money regulating "narcotic" production then there wouldn't be a crisis.
I don't think they make them anymore... I'm fairly sure I had the same one you're talking about (slight oval shape, button on the back), I lost it a few days ago (I didn't put it on right) and when I went to get another one there weren't any there, not even on the website. They only had the $60+ which serve the same purpose for 3x the cost. :(

“If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. And they haven't even pulled the knife out much less heal the wound.”

An apology, is just words if there is no action to back them up. Though of course, I don't know whether or not there has been action taken by the government in the pursuit of reconciliation. If there is, it's unfortunately not mentioned in the article.
For me at that time, the "inane" activities were sleep, rarely I had time to go on my shitty computer some evenings.
but do you watch television? A sports fan? Do you go out for entertainment, ever?
At that time in my life, no, to all of those. I was literally almost homeless.
They certainly can, though the proper term is bias. In that respect, something I find particularly egregious is ARI's use of loaded terminology in it's articles describing the 'issues' it's ostensibly doing surveys on ("Culture wars", "Canadians not convinced", etc.). These are the first thing users see when they navigate to the website which almost certainly influences their opinions before they even start the survey. Even if the survey is emailed to them, some of them will likely navigate to their site anyway to brush up on facts.
Another potential issue (though this is present in all psychology/sociology research; majority of psych papers are done on university students), is that their sample population is only people that have taken the time to register in their forum. Even though they're ostensibly paid for it, there aren't many people that will do that, or even think of it and given how some of their articles are titled I can get a fairly clear picture of the kind of person that would want to make an account on that website.
Lastly, I'm not a psych major, but when a paper's methodology section basically amounts to "We surveyed random users on our website at this date" and nothing else of substance, I tend to not take it seriously.
Not surprised a newspaper picked it up though. A really good clicky headline, and they didn't even have to think it up.

Labelled mid-right because of the terminology they use.

Well shit, easy enough to get a machete... That's scary as fuck.
