Rex isn't one of those Canadians.

Look carefully at the video and the photos. A vast number of these a-holes weren't what I would call hockey fans. They were anarchy fans with only one thing in mind.....and it wasn't a failed quest for Lord Stanley's Cup.
The cops should check the photos and start rounding them up. But the Canadian cops are pu$$!3s for the most part. They won't do much.

Do Canadians have the cajones to put these losers to work cleaning and repairing and providing free labor as part of their punishment?
I’d give them 500 hours of community service or public caning- or both.

Will anything serious happen to the rioters, or will they get off easy? Also, there an update on that guy who tried to stop the looting, and got the tar stomped out of him. Is he okay?

From what I read yesterday, Vancouver is very similar to san fran, their PC and tolerance has produced this kind of climate. They brought it on themselves.

It’s a real pity that the staid tradition of shooting rioters has been lost.

They managed to make Canadians look almost as bad as Americans. As a post-modern society governed by the PC multi-culti crowd, Canada has just as many youth (and many more dipsh*t extreme-leftists) who will be happy to smash windows at the drop of a hat.
I put blame on the police. I watched the proceedings for several hours on CTV, and noted the typical bureaucratic thinking that is typical of union-dominated civil servants. Very poor planning - 500 police were deployed for a crowd of 100,000+, for a very important event with a history of violence.
Secondly, when they realized things went sideways, they simply withdrew for 3+ hours, giving a few rioters complete control over Georgia and Granville for the whole time.
Finally, the politicians went on TV and gave us the typical propoganda on how the police were all "heros."

Just looking at the headline I thought he was talking about Boston Bruins and/or their fans.

It remains to be seen, whether due punishment is meted out. There's a big hue and cry for rounding up and jailing the offenders. At the same time, the usual leftards are already writing letters to the editor saying we're all to blame. We must study the root causes. We have to "empower" the underclasses, so they don't act up in the future (conveniently overlooking the fact that many of the rioters were over-privilidged, spoiled, self-entitled students from the suburbs). I don't hold out a lot of hope for a good outcome.

A quick Google search turns up 6 separate riots associated with Stanley Cup final or semi-final wins and losses, 5 in Canada and 1 in Buffalo, NY.

There are similarities. Vancouver’s Mayor Moonbeam would fit in quite well in San Fransisco. He’s likely most responsible for the police being very reluctant to act. Had the police been more forceful, they would have been investigated and punished. That’s what’s happening to the police, who worked on the G20 conference in Toronto last year.
