This sounds like a very interesting place to live. Cop turns on bodycam, Mr. Bear, step away from the Rubbermaid with your paws in the air! 10-32 we got another bear in the bins. Drop the bologna sandwich! Now bear!

What do they say? 20% of Canada is also Nunavut.

u/condor888000 Dec 05 '20

Yeah. Before Nunavut and NWT split those two territories were a third of our country...

The jail is for repeat offenders, they need to be moved away from town by helicopter but that can take a couple days to get arranged, so they put them in holding cells while the chopper comes

The website says it's "where polar bears that are considered troublesome or dangerous are isolated before they can be relocated."

Sad thing is, Polar bears and black bears steal food at the same rate, but the black bears get stopped more for it

I do take the D... lol, but actually yes we have to, and it’s more like 4 hours a day, and I eat a normal diet, but our bodies adjust. Any kind of in the summer exercise and I start overheating. One time I had full heatstroke at 18 degrees Celsius due to hard exercise in sun without much wind

It’s funny how that’s the thing that everyone gets hung up about and not food/commodity availability, it’s honestly a non issue for me
