“PRISON CAMP FOR DOUKHOBORS IS VERY EXPENSIVE,” Kingston Whig-Standard. January 11, 1933. Page 10. ---- Will Cost Canada Three Million Dollars to Punish Nude Persons ---- NEWS OF VANCOUVER --- By JOHN MACDONALD (Special to The Whig-Standard) VANCOUVER, B.C. — The most interesting transaction in connection with the arrest and imprisonment of the nude Doukhobors viz the purchase of Pier's Island for a prison camp, is likely to attract increased public attention in the near future. It is simply a bed of rocks in the sea. Ordinary vegetables or food for cattle cannot be grown on it and even the water used for prison purposes has to be hauled to it in barges. What is causing the undercurrent of comment is how the Federal Government was persuaded to make the purchase when it owns several good islands In the district, many of them suited for agricultural purposes, and upon which could be produced food for both the camp and many cattle and thus afford work for the prisoners. 

Piers Island was privately owned and it is said that the price paid by the Government was $500,000 including the cost of the shacks forming the camp, and that at the end of three years, the prison term, the total cost of putting those found guilty of making a nude parade in jail will have reached the total of three millions. There are now 569 men and women on the Island. Just imagine what they could produce if the soil were suitable. The camp would be almost self-sustaining as the men are all experienced farmers. Their children are being taken care of in homes in Vancouver at a cost of $20 month each, while old and respected residents of the city now on relief receive only $17.50 for a man, wife, and one child. If the inquiry be made present whisperings indicate that the result will not only furnish a sensation but include a recommendation that the prisoners' sentence be commuted, that they be fined, instead of imprisoned, and sent back to their farms to earn the necessary cash. 

The Attorney-General of the Province is held responsible for this feature of the case being overlooked. If a fine of two or three thousand dollars had been imposed in the first place, it is safe to say there would have been only one offence. It would have terminated the parades. 

Had the sentence been for two years the province would have had to bear the expense but the three-year term made the Dominion responsible for all cost. Premier Bennett will requested to take special interest in the matter.

I have a random sketch request but I was wondering how Chris would feel if he found Leon when he was infected with Las Plagas.

This wasn’t exactly what you asked for, and i wasn’t sure how to approach it, but then i got thinking and so Petition for Chris to get infected by smthn in the re9

I'm sorry to share, but this must be documented.

Rachel Meghan Markle is truly the spawn of satan. She's a wicked creature who seeks to kill, steal & destroy her victims when they are most vulnerable.

Something bad must be on the horizon for The Meghans. First they wheel out Markus Anderson, and now their most desperate move is to publicly resurrect the fake affair rumors started by MEgain 5 years ago. She wanted to cover up her partaying at Soho House Amsterdam (fake preggers), while simultaneously blackmailing the BRF into "supporting her in the press."

Epstein Island's Stephen Colbert has confirmed (again) that the cabal owns him. He was obviously "forced" to publicly suggest that "Kate Middleton is missing" bc William & Catherine are having marital problems. There was no "joke," just a lie.

Harry if you are reading this: what an absolute disgrace you have become. A traitor to your mother, father, brother & country.

First we watched Colbert push the Spare Us book of lies, including the "Wills beat me up & broke my necklace lie." Now Sparry has inspired the suckit sewer megbots to attack 2 innocent families. Colbert used Omit's fake headlines from Yahoo News to "confirm" the affair. What a miserable black soul Stephen Colbert embodies. Just another weak compromised puppet for the elites.

Megbots have such low IQs. They steal the art designed to portray their mistress and desperately try to make it fit Catherine🤡🤦‍♂️

Michael Cole won't shut up. He continues to manufacture ridiculous content using Catherine's name just to stir up the megbots. It's in the GB News comments that we see Meghan desperate to get the talking heads to mention the "rumored affair."

From the Sussex Sewer

The people are fed up with Michael Cole, Piers & every other media bully

GB News attempting to pivot from "Kate" by bringing on Dr Carole Lieberman. Too late.

if youre still taking the top 100 song rqs - how about 34 and something kairi related? ❤️ (dont worry about it if you're already swamped with rqs!)

but i regret just one thing: i never got to change your mind

[ID: a digital drawing of kairi from kingdom hearts. the background is a sketchy rendition of the tunnel in Traverse Town's secret waterway. the shadows are a little chunky, and the circular waterway frames her from the shoulder up.

she is in her kingdom hearts outfit, shown from the thigh up. with her back to the audience, kairi holds her right arm behind her back, shoulders tense. her right hand is curled into a fist. /End ID.]

Resident Evil obscure facts PART 3

Since y’all like these so much

(Probably the last part since I really scraped the bottom of my brain here)

Part 1 Part 2

☠️ Hunk telling Nighthawk to go and leave him during RE2 4th Survivor is the first time we see him respond with any emotion or concern for anyone else other than his mission.

☠️ Nikolai and Sergei Vladimir were friends and fought together in the soviet war.

☠️ Sergei Vladimir and Ozwell E Spencer were also old friends which is how Sergei came to rule over the UBCS in the first place. He was completely loyal to Spencer.

☠️ Chris bulking up between Code Veronica and RE5 was a direct response to Wesker being able to beat him so easily. He wanted to get stronger despite Wesker possessing superhuman strength.

☠️ Claire and Leon have a really shaky relationship thanks to Leon’s loyalty to the US Government. He doesn’t deviate from this until RE6 when he decides to defend Helena Harper and sympathises with her actions.

☠️ The knife Leon carries in the RE4 remake is the same knife Marvin gives him in the RE2 remake

☠️ Jake Muller said he was trained by an unnamed mercenary, some speculate this could have been Hunk as he became a mercenary after the Umbrella trials in 2003

☠️ The metal band Ice Nine Kills made a song based on the Resident Evil franchise called ‘Rainy Day’ (and its very good I recommend)

☠️ For Hunk to snap necks the way he does would require a hell of a lot of strength

☠️ Umbrella Corps (which is canon) set after Resident Evil 5 has voice lines from Wesker in it which implies he may be still alive.

Quote: “The circumstances of my death were greatly exaggerated.”

☠️ In Resident Evil 4 The Merchant’s eyes are blue but glow yellow in the dark/at night. In the Remake he doesn’t do this.

☠️ Luis Sera was Catholic which was the original religion of the village before Saddler moved in.

☠️ In Operation Raccoon City Nikolai has a scar on the side of his face but in the Resident Evil 3 Remake he doesn’t

☠️ Chris’s height was changed from 5’11” to 6’2” in later games

☠️ In Resident Evil 7, Ethan loses his left hand, in RE8 he loses his right.

☠️ ‘Master of Unlocking’ is perhaps the most well known ongoing Resident Evil reference not only in the series but many other games as well including most recently as an achievement in the game ‘Killer Frequency.’ You’ll find it most commonly as the name of trophies.

☠️ In Resident Evil 3 Remake RPD, Carlos makes a quote about cameras being used to kill monsters which is a reference to the Fatal Frame series.

☠️ Also in the RE3 Remake, we never truly find out who Nikolai’s client was and Jill never does the ‘detective work’ on it either. It’s theorised that it was Sergei Vladimir as he is the only person Nikolai had any kind of contact and relationship with.

☠️ There is an unofficial Resident Evil 4 inspired puzzle game on the Switch called Safe Room where you organise items into differently shaped grid boxes. Perfect for those that enjoy the satisfaction of good inventory management.

☠️ Crimson head zombies are a mutated variant of regular T-Virus zombies that can happen sometimes if you ‘kill’ them. But they are actually the midway point between a regular zombie and a Licker. (Note the sharp claws)

☠️ Rebecca’s coffee order is an iced caramel macchiato

☠️ Extra fact: I write Hunk related short stories on AO3! I’d love if you checked em out! The link to my fics is HERE

Death Island spoilers below!

☠️ In Death Island, Chris and Leon have matching watches

☠️ As of Death Island, all five of the main characters have been infected with something and cured.

☠️ Chris mentioning Piers in Death Island is the first we’ve heard of him since RE6 (and it hurtttt)

☠️ It’s implied that Chris finding Leon in Vendetta and bringing him back saved his life. We see his mood has greatly improved since then

☠️ We don’t actually have an answer for when Leon and Jill first met but it could have been around the same time he met Chris in 2010

☠️ Once again the trend of Leon crashing every vehicle he touches continues!
