There's also the overlap. Here in Canada, a lot of the problems were in Residential Schools where the teachers were also Brothers and Sisters, both Catholic and Anglican.

There's also the overlap. I've known too many that were abused by teachers who were also Brothers or Sisters, Catholic or Anglican ran Residential Schools, called Boarding schools in America.
Since the argument about the dangers of teachers came up, I've paid attention, most of the teacher student interactions have been between older students and young teachers and would have been perfectly legal without the power inbalance.

Maybe not the original rubber.

The Chinese government. They're a lot further away and have never been interested in annexing us. The US has also more frequently declared economic war on us then the Chinese. At that America has often been the biggest threat to my freedom and even my life with your habit of electing senile and dumb Presidents, who are often also crooks.

I never touched a C64 and started on a Apple II clone. Crashing into the monitor did happen and being confronted by a disassembly listing to many was similar to a screen of death.

Miscarriage of justice is the term you should be looking for. Usually wrongful convictions which can include being found guilty due to perjury or such but doesn't mean innocence, just the verdict should have been not guilty or thrown out of court for lack of evidence. Perhaps the accused really was guilty, but without evidence it is still a miscarriage of justice. This can also be not having a fair trial and is another reason to have a pardon granted.
Another reason for a pardon in some countries, to quote wiki,

Pardons can be granted in many countries when individuals are deemed to have demonstrated that they have "paid their debt to society", or are otherwise considered to be deserving of them

Here in Canada, after doing your time and keeping a clean nose for a long enough time (varies on the crime and some crimes are not applicable), you can apply for a pardon so you can lead a normal life including doing jobs where a conviction would disqualify you for. The decision is made by the parole board, not a politician. At that most all decisions about pardons, including miscarriages of justice, are not made by politicians. America seems really weird with the pardon powers exercised by the President and Governors.

Site C, they're cleaning up the camps and such now with questions like whether to use the camp accommodations for housing or bin it.
Guess we could be more like China and not give a shit about things like pollution. Used to have air you could easily see here, it was not healthy.

You mean the pro-oil fanatics? They're scary as they'd rather stare at abandoned oil derelicts then a wind mill and expect us tax payers to put out another $30-40 billion to build them a pipeline while refusing to finish the power inter-connect and cosying up to Trump.

San Marino would still exist as the worlds oldest republic with a written constitution dating back to 1600 (an update to the constitution of about 1300) giving people "government of the people, by the people, for the people" and actual limited government. Though to be honest, it was 1974 before something like a bill of rights was added.
For rights, there's the Magna Carta from 1215 and the English Bill of Rights of 1689, which turned the British King into a figurehead.

When all the other stores see that one store raising prices and go, "good idea" and raise their bread prices, it does tend to be inflationary. Here in Canada, they were even stupid enough to communicate that they should all raise bread prices and were convicted of price fixing. I'm expecting a $25 gift card eventually.

And this points to other price fixing, https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/20...
Most industries are smart enough not to actually conspire, just follow the leader as it is more profitable then competing.

I'm sorry, here's an article from a right wing media outlet, https://nationalpost.com/news/...
Traditionally, in cases like this, would mean a simple deportation, not masked thugs locking people up in inhumane conditions that would break peoples rights in most free countries. Due process, speedy trial, no cruel punishment.

I find one study, https://www.nasa.gov/centers-a... that says,

The beneficial impacts of carbon dioxide on plants may also be limited, said co-author Dr. Philippe Ciais, associate director of the Laboratory of Climate and Environmental Sciences, Gif-suv-Yvette, France. “Studies have shown that plants acclimatize, or adjust, to rising carbon dioxide concentration and the fertilization effect diminishes over time.”

“While the detection of greening is based on data, the attribution to various drivers is based on models,” said co-author Josep Canadell of the Oceans and Atmosphere Division in the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation in Canberra, Australia. Canadell added that while the models represent the best possible simulation of Earth system components, they are continually being improved.

And this, https://www.nature.com/article... which is an actual experiment, that says,

Rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen (N) deposition affect plant communities in numerous ways1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11. Nitrogen deposition causes local biodiversity loss globally12,13,14, but whether, and if so how, rising CO2 concentrations amplify or dampen those losses remains unclear and is almost entirely unstudied. We addressed this knowledge gap with an open-air experiment in which 108 grassland plots were grown for 24 years under different CO2 and N regimes. We initially found that adding N reduced plant species richness less at elevated than at ambient CO2. Over time, however, this interaction reversed, and elevated CO2 amplified losses in diversity from enriched N, tripling reductions in species richness from N addition over the last eight years of the study. These interactions resulted from temporal changes in the drivers of diversity, especially light availability, that were in turn driven by CO2 and N inputs and associated changes in plant biomass. This mechanism is likely to be similar in many grasslands, because additions of the plant resources CO2 and N are likely to increase the abundance of the dominant species. If rising CO2 generally exacerbates the widespread negative impacts of N deposition on plant diversity, this bodes poorly for the conservation of grassland biodiversity worldwide.

Bio-diversity is important. And from my knowledge of greenhouses, which admittedly involve higher levels of CO2, plants really need other fertilizer to healthily benefit from raised CO2 levels

OTOH, there are examples of countries with proportional representation where to form government you get coalitions that include very extreme parties. Israel and Italy are 2 examples. Proportional representation works best where consensus is normal, something America is not known for.

Might come up with a new religion as the stars slowly vanished, though most of them are far enough away that we wouldn't notice they are gone for a long time.
