Not going to go round and round on this because you don't seem to want to hear it so let me just say that if a white policeman shot and killed an unarmed white guy in Winnipeg in a similar manner to what happened in South Carolina, it would most certainly get play across Canada, which is the country where it took place.  We call that national coverage.  Would it get play on CNN, I suspect it would.  But seeing that white cops shooting unarmed white suspects doesn't happen all that often, we might have to wait a long time to find out.

How long will Buck's recovery be?  
 
Just kidding.  Congratz to the new parents!

Does it have to be whole numbers?  Because if not, 8.5 is available

Being that our endzone is 20 yards deep, that makes field goals outside the 30 unlikely.  That's going to reduce scoring and make last minute drives/field goals a lot more challenging.  I'm not for this idea at all.

Alright guys, in fairness, if you lived in Saskatchewan, wouldn't you desperately want to be somewhere else and then send pictures to all your friends back home, just to show them that not only have you escaped, but you've learned to operate a camera too?.  

They can, through the flight data recorder and voice recorders, "see" exactly what the pilot is doing or not doing as the case may be.  Do you honestly think that looking at the pilot's face as he's doing something is going to provide that "aha" moment?  "See that sardonic smile he has when he turns off the autopilot?  Clearly he has murder on his mind..."  or "Hey, the video shows that he really did forget to lower the wheels.  I know that we had no voice confirmation that the wheels were down and that the flight data recorder shows that they were never lowered but with this video, now we know!" or  "Oh hey, look, he picked his nose right before it happened.  We'll need the FAA to immediately ban nose picking in the cockpit."
 
Honestly, if some in the NTSB want them, if seems that they can't really justify them or they would already be there.  The FAA doesn't fool around with safety stuff.

If we can also mandate the use of a unicycle in some way, I'm all for it!

I'm all for giving investigators tools, but maybe it would be a better idea to have them tell us what they think would be useful and I don't think I've read or heard of the FAA or any other agency saying that they need to be put into place ASAP.  If they decide to use armchair investigators, then clearly, it's got to be cameras, lots and lots of cameras, and backup cameras for the main cameras, oh and body cameras too, one for each person.  Can never have enough video...

And the point of the camera would be what exactly?  It's not going to prevent anything from happening and it doesn't appear that the investigators are having too much trouble figuring things out using just the voice recorder and later when they confirm it with the flight data recorder.. Again, if someone's going to do this, all the pictures in the world will not change anything.  Personally, I think that watching the last moments of terror before someone dies are something that no one should have to do unless there's a real good reason to have to do it.  Don't see that reason here.
 
What would be useful is being able to track aircraft the are outside radar coverage so we never have to have another Korean Air Flight 902 or Air France Flight 447

The reality is that if a pilot or co-pilot wants to do something like this, there is pretty much no way to stop it.  That's life sadly.  We want to believe that we can prevent stuff from happening, but a lot of the time, we just can't.  The illusion of control...

You have an entire generation who grew up with no parents thanks to residential schools. Did you grow up with anyone whose parents weren't around? How did they end up? Now apply that to an entire race for a generation.
Now that generation has kids and have no idea how to raise them because they had no parents themselves. And the cycle continues.
So who is supposed to step up and lead them? I agree that it has to be natives who lead natives and make the changes. But it is going to take a remarkable person or group of people to lead them, and it might be awhile until that happens because of the long term damage that has been done to their people.

Clearly, you're not too familiar with the stated aim of the Residential Schools either.  Their primary purpose was to eradicate First Nations culture, to get rid of "indians" once and for all.  Explain to me how that can ever be "not a terrible idea"?

Seems to me the best thing would be for people to stop being pieces of **** and treating people differently based on cultural background. Assimilation is just the people at the top saying "you should all be like me". It's like Nazi-ism lite.

Here's a thought.  If you think "cowboy church" is silly, don't go.  If you think that regular church is silly, don't go.  But judge not...

Ah yes, assimilation.  Not sure how you assimilate a people that were seen as inferior in virtually every way possible.  Assimilation was never the goal, because no one of that day would have ever considered First Nations people as equals, no matter how much education they had.  They would simply become "better behaved savages".  That's not assimilation, it's something very different.
