The Debate Over BC’s Tariff Response Bill: What You Need to Know

Below is a link to a discussion of arbitrary measures by BC governments in the not too distant past. The initial response by the robot was very superficial so read on down.

Conclusion: The Legacy of Arbitrary Measures
The COVID-19 pandemic saw unprecedented restrictions on basic freedoms in British Columbia. While public health was the stated motivation, the implementation of these measures raises serious questions about proportionality, necessity, and respect for constitutional rights.

The regional travel ban stands out as particularly problematic—dividing a province into zones with police checkpoints to restrict citizen movement has no precedent in modern Canadian history during peacetime. The lack of clear definitions, adequate consultation with affected communities, and proper constitutional scrutiny suggests these measures were indeed arbitrary in nature.

Within in 15 minutes of application, her pain subsided dramatically and she was able to move freely without tending up.
The next day she woke up sore and stiff again so I applied the DMSO again. It worked to dramatically reduce the pain again.
That evening the pain slowly reappeared and she didn’t want to reapply the DMSO as it is kind of smelly and it irritates the skin somewhat, so I gave her 1ml of liquid CBD oil (Frank CBD 100mg/g). Her pain was pretty much ...
