This blog is your blog. We are the people of Vancouver and we will protect our city by providing consequences and future deterrent in this age of social-media awareness. Only a fool would discount the digital foot print that exists for each and every one of us.

Who’da thought that the US would be sandwiched between two third world countries ....
I commend the responsible people of Vancouver for taking this approach. Similar to how the fake doctors were outed in the Madistan protests earlier this year. Name names. Cowards run from the daylight.
Some would argue we’re well on our way, too. I wonder what Nov 2012 will bring.
Very cool, we need about 50,000 of those sites.

That is so true. Even a mere chatty mentioning on FR about a friend’s trademark will immediately launch a frantic hunt for their identity.
If anyone thinks people are too busy living their lives to exploit your posts for personal information then they are a bigger fool than I am! LoL!
But it would be even more foolish to be posing for photos while committing crimes. I am not even THAT stupid!
Please.
Consequences?
What a primitive notion.
Once identified they can and likely will be arrested.
PR disaster for the city.

This should become a standard in today's digital world.
I wouldn’t worry too much.
My profile contains everything about me except for the SS#.
In 10.5 years, I have received NO visits and exactly TWO phone calls——both from poli-sci students who were “studying” FR and wanted to know why I would do such a thing. (frankly my Dear, it’s because I don’t give a damn)
There is a hell of a lot more bark than bite around here.
And might soon be joining them!

As someone who lives in Toronto and works for a social service agency that serves the homeless, I can tell you that the claims on those signs are pure BS. All of the stats were manufactured by activists in an effort to get more government money; the truth is that the 800-odd homeless here (in a city of 3 million) all have beds in the shelters, with the exception of a couple of dozen hardcore mentally disturbed who choose to “live rough”.
Those pictures were sent to me by a friend living in Canada. I just posted them right after the riots. I had/have no way of proving them right or wrong. K?
NP there- we’ve all seen silly propaganda in our time ;-)
