I find the story shocking (Canada, WTF?), but I guess I am going to ask how this is HN news.<p>ADDENDUM: I almost didn't ask the above, except that the story seems to have so little intersection with the main HN themes.<p>After looking at the pictures, I retract my question. I'm put in mind of Heinlein and similar, commenting on anticipated de facto anarchy and societal implications including technological implications.<p>Only, per Heinlein, such was supposed to pre-dominate <i>below</i> the 49th parallel.
