The Justice Department investigated and determined that the shooting was legally justified. Therefore, it was not murder. Murder is a crime and a person has only committed murder if convicted. In this instance there was not even a charge filed. So you are wrong, there was no murder.

Now I have some respect for Johnston. He did a great job as GG. Unfortunately, he should have refused such an invitation. If Trudeau isn't going to give Canadians an official inquiry led by a judge he should at least found someone with fewer ties to him and his party. As the saying goes, justice not only needs to be unbiased it needs to be seen to be unbiased. Johnston is on the Trudeau Foundation. He appointed WE charity's Kielburger to the Election debates commission and used a format and questions the Conservatives didn't want or approve. He also included Rosemary Barton as a moderator while she was suing the Conservative Party. He describes himself as a friend of China and visited there many times even before he became GG. On that occasion, he told Chinese President Xi Jinping that 'I feel as though I'm returning home" when he arrives there. “Now I’ve known the Governor General since I was a kid, from visiting him and his daughters when he was principal of McGill, to spending time on the ice or the slopes at their family home in the Laurentians.” “But getting to know someone as a family friend or a friend of your father’s is very different from having the honour of working alongside them.” -Trudeau Sept 28, 2017. https://ottawacitizen.com/opinion/carson-jerema-trudeau-family-friend-david-johnston-not-the-man-to-restore-election-confidence/wcm/9ca4f375-4a67-410d-8a2e-f213f3df96b8

Seems like an invasion of an independent Democracy has convinced much of NATO to re-up on Defence spending. Trump didn't like NATO because Putin doesn't like NATO, simple as that. And now all you Conservative clones would rather Putin annex an independent nation than for Ukraine to win this war. Because that means NATO's support of Ukraine was actually successful.

Points to ponder: 1. Joe is a fcking LIAR. Congress did NOT pass same sex marriage. The SUPREME COURT legislated that from the bench. 2. Most states do not allow children to buy tobacco, alcohol, firearms, etc before a legal age. But this UNELECTED PEDOPHILE JOSEF MENGELE has no problem with CHILDREN being scarred for life in these horrific procedures. 3. Unelected Joe is a monster.

The Globe is correct. And it's not just a Liberal thing. I've found it much easier to get information on American government programs and policies whenever I care to look than finding out even the most basic information about Canada's. Whether it's how much we paid for vaccines or how much money is going to subsidize various businesses or what was spent and wasted during the covid mess or the routine stonewalling for anything from immigration numbers to the cost of paying for refugees, whether it's policing costs or why we should let companies that screw over the government keep getting more contracts, you can't find out much of anything from the government. Too often, in too many different contexts and for utterly indefensible reasons, the position of official Canada is that Canadians are delicate children who can’t be trusted with information of clear public interest. More than a culture of secrecy, myriad Canadian bureaucracies seem to have willingly pledged allegiance to a cult of confidentiality. Citizens, and the media who ask questions on their behalf, are often deprived of basic public information that people in other jurisdictions simply expect to get as a matter of course – and have every right to. The immediate result of this is to deny Canadians information to which they’re entitled. But the deeper effect is to cultivate a sense of scarcity and paternalism, as though anything more is an unreasonable expectation and people should be grateful for whatever crumbs they can pry out of the tightly clutched fists of the bureaucracy. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editorials/article-canadas-cult-of-confidentiality/

So in an interview with the CBC Kennedy Stewart, the previous mayor of Vancouver, said he was interviewed by CSIS who asked him questions about Chinese influence. And the CSIS agent told him "We've been sending the information on Chinese interference up the chain for years and no one is paying any attention."

So.. you're saying that fundamental justice is incompatible with liberty? Kinda sounds like you don't really understand what either of those things are then.

After Russia's victory in Ukraine and the defeat of the NATO alliance, the collapse of the American Anglo-Khazarian empire naturally follows. Accordingly, American peace activists Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling for a peaceful NATIONAL DIVORCE between America's liberal and conservative states. Quite a reasonable call, isn't it.

Have to wait to see the final bill i guess. They may be reworking it after getting feedback who knows.

Well, I am just glad that he is not the governor of my state.

LOL - I take it that's the sound of your brainwave monitor Yet another relevant and useful post on your part, well done.

https://nationalpost.com/opinion/carson-jerema-trudeau-family-friend-david-johnston-not-the-man-to-restore-election-confidence Carson Jerema: Trudeau 'family friend' David Johnston not the man to restore election confidence "There is no indication that Johnston is anything but a man of integrity, which is why he should have turned down the special rapporteur job " Groot called it.

That makes sense. French for reporter or something. I thought it meant he was going to deliver his findings in musical rhythm. DO baba do DO baba do... Hangin' with the homies, drinkin wine and chillin' Chinese say 'here's money', of course we say we's willin' So we sold our votes for money that was free Because that's just how we roll here in the LPC. (Don't be hatin'!) (mike drop)

Hear, hear! Russia broke into other people's house at night, broken, beaten, raped, robbed and killed children (and stole, that is, kidnapped them) and now, so poor, complains about "atrocities". You've got to be there to understand what it is and how it works, cannot be translated to any human language. Just out of curiosity, did Hitler complain about being an innocent "provoked" victim?

Harper. It was Harper's fault. Well they're happier for a start. I mean. it's right in the name. From about 10,000 ft and through a filtered lens. Jokes aside, it is upsetting that while DEMANDING that cultures like gays and trans be accepted and welcomed because thats how we behave in a loving and caring society, the same people demand that cis white males are scum and evil and should not be tolerated and are resposible for everything including all slavery in history right down to when the pull tab breaks off your drink before you open it. You know those big spiders in the garage? Cis white men put them there.

Sure they have, kids will grow up confused causing them suffer as a result in adulthood resulting in society going to hell in a handbasket - conservatives essentially say the same thing with just about every other generational attitude shift in the past that's alarmed them. No prayer before class, boys growing their hair long, girls wearing pants, mixed-race marriage.... the list goes on and on and on. It's what traumatized conservatives do.

Governors release surgery videos now.... all normal right ?

The thread is about some US politicians not understanding the implications of letting Putins of the world, today and future one, to have their ways. You will not derail it with Russia talking points. Defeating Putin in Ukraine is the only way back to any normalcy in the world.

Address your points? OK. Robo-bot, if you comb your hair to one side, you will cover that bald point at the top of your head.

And AFTER he was elected, HE RENEGED on his promise to sign a trade deal with Western countries and signed a deal with MOSCOW, probably cause he was BRIBED by Putin.

The vote of their Congress was unanimous to oust Yanukovych and he FLED TO MOSCOW.

This is for discussion. Get on topic baby, or STFU.

Those are not necessarily the facts. What I read indicates he was democratically elected, in an election that was observed by outsiders and deemed to be as fair as can be expected for the region. Doesn't mean I approve of his politics, but it is what it is. Not only that I recall that in the next election which may have been for their congress, his party won by a landslide.

America is the land of the working poor, the inescapable poverty trap and revolving door debtors prisons, where healthcare is the leading cause of bankruptcy and your medical treatment is provided at the sole discretion of your employer . Just the fact that people with no dependents and who already work still need food stamps as this bill suggests shows how messed up America is. Even Americans who live fairly comfortably now understand that they are just one unexpected financial setback, health mishap or layoff away from life-changing ruin and destitution No wonder half the country has become extremist and seditious since the last economic meltdown There’s never been a shortage of corporate welfare and handouts foe the ultra-rich though

Soooo - you guys don't need the rest of us anymore right? You got this? We'll leave you to it. Ima go now... turn out the lights when you're done

Not true, Russia has disputed claims, along with Denmark and Hans island not sure if thats resolved...And lets be real, it is America we owe our sovereignty to, without them we would have none to really speak off... and if they decided to take it what could we really do other than offer them Quebec and the secret poutine recipe... Giving Canada nuke subs would akin to giving a small child a sharp kitchen knife...

Absolute lie

Arbeit macht frei ([ˈaʁbaɪt ˈmaxt ˈfʁaɪ] (listen)) is a German phrase meaning "Work sets you free" or "Work makes one free". The slogan is known for appearing on the entrance of Auschwitz and other Nazi concentration camps.[1] … In The Kingdom of Auschwitz, Otto Friedrich wrote about Rudolf Höss, regarding his decision to display the motto so prominently at Auschwitz: ….An example of ridiculing the falsity of the slogan was a popular saying used among Auschwitz prisoners: Arbeit macht frei durch Krematorium Nummer drei. Work makes you free Through crematorium number three.[11] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbeit_macht_frei

Because Trump would have GIVEN Putin Ukraine by trading it for a Moscow tower deal.

Trump signs the biggest rollback of bank rules since the financial crisis So loosening regulations in response to bank lobbyists is WHY SVB imploded.

What does the age of consent in South America have to do with a 10 year old rape victim in USA?

No, dummy, they are a bank. Not any more,snowflake. They're just another welfare case for the taxpayers to bail out. Look… you read this from some right wing fake news site, and you believe it’s true… but that doesn’t make it true. FoxNews is not a right wing fake news sight, dumbass. Fox gives ALL points of view equal time. Get your head out of your ass. 1) What is the name of one single “woke” company they invested in? How about BLACK LIARS MURDER? Or maybe today it should be called BUILD LARGE MANSIONS? https://nypost.com/2023/03/15/svb-donated-73m-to-black-lives-matter-movement-social-justice-causes/ SVB donated $73M to Black Lives Matter movement, social justice causes 3) What is the name of a “woke” company that’s gone insolvent because of its “wokeness” and dragged down this bank? https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/ryanledendecker/2022/08/31/bed-bath-beyond-goes-broke-retailer-to-shutter-stores-cut-staff-after-cancelling-mypillow-last-year-n1625561 Bed Bath & Beyond Goes Broke: Retailer to Shutter Stores, Cut Staff After Cancelling MyPillow Last Year Oh, and DISNEY is suffering MASSIVE losses in sales, especially in the vacation capital of the world: Florida. But DeSantis will probably bail those queers out just to save the jobs in Central Florida.

Reality is that the bank failed. You invented a reason why, but you cannot answer a single question describing your answer. If what you’re saying is true, you would be able to show us the names of the failed companies and investments and how “woke” caused those companies and investments to fail. All you have is “woke bad, therefore woke caused SVB to fail”. That’s not rational at all. Do you think if you were a business school student that you could say a dumb thing like that and get a grade of D or better? You would not.

Roboshit doesn't have a life otherwise. He has the brains of an oyster. His whole life is THE VIEW. That's DANGEROUS stupid.

In this thread so far there have been ZERO right right wing fake news sites. So you are a LIAR in that regard. As far as FoxNews goes (and Fox IS the most reliable news source on the planet) Not sure that would qualify the bank as Woke, but it clearly supported far left causes. As far as what caused SVB to tank, it's leadership ALONG with Unelected Joe deserves the blame. https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/biden-banking-busts-include-this-single-biggest-monetary-policy-mistake-half-century President Joe Biden created the perfect storm for what may become a string of banking busts. In 2021, he lied about inflation, saying it was temporary and "no serious economist" considered it a threat. Yellen and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, whose first term was about to expire, went along with Biden and did nothing to bring down prices. It was the single biggest monetary policy mistake in half a century. Then in March 2022, newly reappointed Powell launched aggressive rate hiking to cure what the Wall Street Journal called "a mess largely of the Fed's own making." As rates rose fast, startup companies could no longer afford to borrow, and instead started withdrawing their bank deposits. Without regulatory intervention, the downfall of SVB was almost a foregone conclusion. On March 7, Powell predicted that the Fed will likely "increase the pace of rate hikes" to continue bringing down inflation. A task made more difficult by our spendaholic president's budget proposal, which is an inflation accelerator. As rates rise, more banks could be in trouble. Continued government incompetence is not an option. Mr. President, get rid of your woke minions and appoint competent people. Our money and jobs are at stake. On Sunday night, Biden said he's "firmly committed to holding those responsible for this mess fully accountable." Look in the mirror, Mr. President. Instead, he's looking at the list of Democratic campaign donors and scurrying to bail them out. Ninety-eight percent of all political contributions from people who worked at internet companies went to Democrats in 2020. Silicon Valley residents coughed up nearly $200 million for Democrats. No surprise that the Treasury and the Fed are offering bailouts, whether they use that word or not. Biden's reckless spending and incompetent monetary policy are causing this string of banking busts. And John Q. Public will end up paying one way or another. This is ECONOMICS, an ADULT subject. You are still in the third grade. This is WAY over your uneducated head, snowflake.
