You’ve got to be shitting me. We’re spending $20 MILLION of our tax dollars on stun gloves. And we’re supposed to pretend this will cut down on lethal force AND that ICE has good judgment? This is going to lead to more abuse, not less.

Thanks for adding this context. I just visited 200 Kent this morning with a Safe Wings volunteer. Around a quarter of the building has has been treated, with lots of glass remaining untreated… as I understand it, a complaint was filed with ECCC under SARA and the MBRs, but next steps remain unclear.

In Canada it is illegal for building owners to kill birds. North America has lost nearly 1/3 of its bird populations while 🇨🇦 is supposed to be protecting birds under an international treaty I laid out birds killed by collisions with buildings at the doorstep of parliament to ask: what are we doing?

Something I think about a lot is the decisions made back in the 1970s to start building like this, which began a trend leading to current aesthetic expectations of architecture including big glass windows. Did they not realize how expensive heating and cooling would be? Did they not find dead birds?
