That’s awful eyeball. Best wishes to you and your wife.

Hey that's not fair. If you're as clever as you seem to think you are you should recognize a friendly jibe. That would be my best guess as to what it was anyway. Your avatar is Vlad the impaler as in Dracula. He goofed on you by offering the suicidal sounding vampire garlic. I thought it was cute. It would be like if I was sounding off on how the whole world sucked and somebody offered the puppy in my av a couple more cancer sticks to move the process along. I'd just chuckle and move on. At least, he didn't tell you to drink bleach. That would have been witless and no fun at all. Threaten Legato with Syncopation. That would be clever. I'd hope he'd laugh it off. Nobody would get the joke who didn't know music theory though.

It's not what I "believe" it's what's now an established fact... that these stories were all used to tarnish political foes and ended up being fake

We live in a primarily fascist country right now. You love fascism now, just like you would have loved it in Germany in the 1930s. It's how you roll.

The real blame is with the idiot that sat in cells for 150 days. The "worthless little bastard " just sat in those cells and festered away. Stupid people do stupid things, even when they are in jail. King is a perfect example. 150 days for being a fool. Oh and now you are depending on the Big Dipper Singh? How sad to be you

I'm not surprised.. the loser prosecutor just blew a bunch of tax payer money to try and settle a political vendetta. It's really pathetic to see leftists being a bunch of clowns and supporting this nonsense.

What exactly do you contribute? Do you contribute some of that $$ under the table you collect while you collect pogey for seven (7) months of the year? Run along now . . . . mom's got your peanut butter sandwich ready for you.

Over what time?

BINGO! These "Greenies" demand that all fossil fuels be discontinued from use, in the western work only, BEFORE we have a reliable replacement. As far as logic and reason is concerned... This ideology of theirs is insane and destructive.

Her Buddy Pat King finally gets bail "Once released, will have to return to Alberta under a long list of conditions until his judicial pre-trial is scheduled. The judge said King will also need to live under a curfew of 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., and he is not allowed to have any involvement in ‘Freedom Convoy’ activity." https://ottawa.citynews.ca/local-news/freedom-convoy-organizer-pat-king-released-on-bail-with-conditions-5593519?utm_source=SND&utm_medium=Facebook&utm_campaign=AutoPilot

their competition shit talking them with bullshit framing is not convincing being against the Communist Chinese is a good thing not bashing Trump for dumb shit is a good thing being against covid authoritarianism is a good thing them pissing off the MSM by not going along with their bullshit is a good thing try attacking the message instead of the messenger ad hominem is weak sauce

ad hominem by a far more propagandist source at that the NYT says their competition is bad, so ExFlyer believes it as if they have no reason to negatively portray the Epoch Times

Lets put that into perspective BUD's, there are 3 parties, not one, so that vote is divided by 3 and while they are all left in retrospect, they go from left to outright crazy left...The Conservative party has garnered more votes than any of the left parties. Justin did not invent baby bonuses it has been around for decades, he added some money to it , Child care spots are for Canadians that make less than 36 k a year, and adds only a few thousand in each province if you are lucky, at the cost of 9 bil the first year...yes a waste of money, First nation people have done well this year with over 24 bil in new money, but like you said it has only scratched the surface. Bought a pipeline, what a joke, that is not what Canada wanted, what they wanted was to twin the same pipeline, which is still not done...and thanks to the Federals dicking around the original owners walked away from the program, because we could not build a popsicle stand if we wanted to. Bought western Canada a pipeline, another liberal myth, the same part of Canada that pays for all that poggy you get. ... Yes, he loves the west that is why he introduced anti-oil policies. he does not love Canadians he loves our money, he loves giving it away. he spent over 500 bil during the pandemic, where did it all go...CERB and business handouts only account for 175 bil...where is the rest of the beef...I know you don't know, don't care, you got your share, let's move on. You won't be a politician, you'd need to come off poggy to do that, work a full year you could not handle it... Our passport offices are a mess, our major airports are a mess, our health care is in crisis mode, interest rates are going through the roof, inflation is out of control, fuel prices are retarded, our international reputation is in tatters, and our entire security system is starving to death, our fishing stocks are decimated on both coasts, lumber prices are retarded, building a home costs on average here in NB 250 dollars a square foot, home prices everywhere are unaffordable, the pandemic wiped out entire sections of workers, global supply problems, Afghanis are still waiting to be rescued and live in fear of death because our government can't tie their own shoes, all the problems with long term care homes is still looking for a solution. as is all those promised manufacturing jobs making PPE, medicine, medical machines. it is all old news, liberals have forgotten all about it. and yes let's not forget Ukraine, god forbid we help another country with small matters as being invaded... I'm, sure there is a lot more that I have forgotten..., we don't hate Justin we just want him to retire and fade into history, be a ski instructor or something... He is the most hated politician in Canada...in the western world.

Get Alberta Out. There is no other option.

Quit referring to the protesters as the truckers. Over 90% of truckers are vaxxed. The protesters were condemned by both the Teamsters and Independent Truckers Assn. Who all knew, unlike the morons in the convoy that you can't get into tjhe USA without being vaxxed, so you'd never have the problem getting back into Canada. Who knew no one was being forced to get the vax, that's total shit. Who know that Trudeau doesn't sit there issuing orders, he handed it off to Health Authorities who can only make border policy and Health is a Provincial responsibility, they made the mask mandates. They have a clue how government works, you don't just march off with a fucking Internet petition and demand some authority do what you imbecilically think they can. And I'm not about to constantly pull figures from out of my ass and claim they're "actual facts". The convoy was merely a Northern Trumpist collection of disgusting racists, fascists, sovereign person dotards blowing off steam. People who want to believe the PM is a dictator because they're not capable or unwilling to think for themselves and need someone else to order what they can eat for breakfast or what Church to attend. People who freely made their own choice and want to throw tantrums on the floor because of the consequences. But of course to such children a sore arm for a day is 'severe side effects'.

sorry to hear about your wife I have been married for 22 years pair bonded for life so I feel your pain

You just want handouts.

Of course there are, you are more likely to infect other people and take up needed hospital beds.

see, Alberta was settled long after Canadian Confederation Alberta was settled at the turn of the 20th century thus Albertan's do not feel like the establishment eastern elites should rule them particularly as the eastern elites are dominated by Quebec Western Canada was settled by expats & pioneers, long after the eastern Canadian establishment was made that is the origin of the East West schism in Canada

Do you know what else I don't like? Freezing to death. Or not being able to purchase food because of left wing virtue signaling

hurting people and the economy harms the environment and the brand of environmentalism that is anti-human and anti-capitalist is going to wane significantly going forward especially in the face of rising energy costs and food prices if someone calling themselves an environmentalist truly wants to help the environment then they'd be willing to accept that government control is not the solution to the problem if not, they out themselves as frauds trying to push a radical left agenda using the environment to sell it

it's not pro-environment it's just anti-human

Anyway, you better get used to this, because in the space of a week, Scotus made 4 pro-conservative rulings: 1)Struck down restrictive gun laws in NY. 2)Struck down Roe v Wade. 3)Upheld a coach’s right to pray at a high school game. 4) Ruled against the EPA over reach. And once Canadians see the benefits of common sense rulings, they are going to grow dissatisfied with a legal system that restricts their freedoms so much…

It’s hard to believe you would stoop to such levels to troll. The US federal government wants to shutter the fuel burning engine and have everyone in electric cars within several years. That’s about as realistic as expecting the power grid to magically have this extra capacity and the electricity rates to not sky rocket. So under Biden gas prices jump up(well before the Ukraine war) after Trump had them relatively cheap. Now I know you think Trump is a buffoon and such, but if a buffoon can stabilize oil and gas production, why can’t Biden? And what’s wrong with $1.20/litre gas? Or $3/gallon USD?

Agenda 2030 isn't about the environment. It's about pushing the religion of woke

Oh FFS the same anti arguments over and over! You don't use a BEV to go thousands and thousands of miles. You use it to go from home in Langley to work in Vancouver. You still have your minivan if you want to go long distance, no one's making you sell it. Are you all so butt poor you only have ONE car? Then fly or take a train if you want to go from Vancouver to Calgary.

The religion of woke sets up government as sort of a hell for those who refuse to vote left. Middle America doesn't vote left therefore their ways of making money are evil and they are heathen. Meanwhile urban centers with their smog problem is not an environmental issue because they pull left. Those are the rules

I'm not sure what about my being a lawyer makes the position I took strange... The argument I am making is one designed to simply try and educate the masses of fools who will be swayed by politicians looking to make points with meaningless notions of "tougher gun laws". I fully understand what you are saying about the political element of this issue. As for the plea bargain argument, I can give an example to again try and educate the masses about why "tougher gun laws" will have absolutely no effect. I just resolved a file by a plea bargain where a client was charged with 13 Criminal Code firearms offences. The client had no license and no registration certificates for several handguns and long rifles, and also had a crossbow, tazer, mace, nunchukas, and knives in his home in urban Calgary. One of the rifles was loaded, none of the firearms was trigger-locked or otherwise safely stored and he had a pile of ammunition, some of which was even found in the front seat of his car (and Note, for those who don't know, the tazer, the mace, and one of the handguns were prohibited weapons...i.e. cannot lawfully be owned in Canada AT ALL...the other handguns, and one of the rifles and the crossbow were restricted weapons). The weapons were discovered via search warrant after the same client was charged in a domestic scenario for having assaulted his adult daughter and threatened to harm her (editorial note...these charges were very weak and even suspect whether the daughter had manufactured the situation which is why the deal that was given for them). The client had a criminal record, but nothing of a violent nature (all property related crime). At the end of the day, without much wrangling, the Crown offered to drop the assault and threat charges and have the client sign a peace bond. Further, the Crown offered to reduce the 13 firearms counts to 4 and, in particular, dropped the charge for possession of a loaded firearm which carries a mandatory 1 year jail sentence. The final damage to the client was $2,000.00 in fines (+15% Victim surcharge) and a 1 year weapons prohibition (oh, and the Crown keeps the illegal weapons). Now, sure...some will blame me for this outcome. BUT, the fact is this is what the Crown offered in exchange for not having to suffer the burden of proving its case against my client in a trial. My point is this...if the mandatory minimum sentence for illegal possession of a loaded firearm is raised to 100 years in jail, it doesn't matter when the charge gets dropped. Further, it doesn't matter if legal gun ownership is made more difficult than it currently is...this guy completely and utterly ignored the entire set of firearms ownership laws (and other weapons) even when Alberta just recently ran an amnesty program to allow people to turn in illegal weapons without fear of punishment. And, to restate the obvious, this guy had no problem whatsoever getting his hands on a literal stockpile of illegal weapons. So, it worked out great for my client, but one must ask...WHY when you have needed to have a gun license since 1977 to own ANY firearm lawfully in Canada would the Crown not take a zero tolerance approach to a guy like this who is showing complete contempt for the law? And until the Crown as directed by the Attorney General as directed by the PM decides to actually prosecute offenders with anything more than impotence, I will continue to state that additional gun legislation is MEANINGLESS. FTA

wrong thread. Aluminium smelting is 4 doors to your left. Oh....and spam somewhere else.....

Like my wife who is fighting for her life in the hospital as we speak. She was infected with COVID there and its hampered her recovery from surgery to the point that now she may die. I blame the braking pressure that's been applied to society from taking sufficient action against COVID.
