  1. Canadian judges are becoming too activist and doing things that ought to be in the area of government control. Who says this? Some radical right-winger? Well, no, a member of the Supreme Court of Canada. And the problem with that is none of them are elected. Most of them never could be elected. The people have no say in what they decide from their lofty perches, and no way to hold them responsible for the consequences. Judges in Canada have been “hard-wired” by four decades of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to wield “enormous authority,” and they are making decisions that are “increasingly governmental in nature,” according to a sitting Supreme Court judge.

  2. I don't understand how he's not guilty of either second degree murder or voluntary manslaughter. I mean, you don't kneel on a handcuffed person's upper body for over 9 minutes. It's a blatant abuse of power. There was clear intent. While am not saying he deserves to get stabbed, he definitely does deserve the sentence that he got. He was careless, and even if the victim was killed by the drugs he was on, it would be hard to prove that this was not caused by what he was experiencing via Chauvin's actions. I feel they made Floyd into some type of upstanding citizen vs the drug addict that he was, but even then, he deserved to be thrown in jail, and not succumb on that day to his poor life choices.

  4. Majority of Canada does not want a military, nor does it want the people that serve within it...today our men and women are leaving in droves....release rates are the higher than the great FRP, force reduction plan...the Chretien liberals came up with...where losses are well over 16 K short...those where numbers given last year, they only have grown since then... I mean we can not even treat our veterans with any real respect, we discard them like useless garbage, force them into court to get benefits that every other Canadian is entitled to....here is your hand shake good luck with your PTSD, there is the door.... We expect them to perform miracle's when we send them over seas, with equipment older than their parents... Ya fills my heart up with pride as well... I feel sorry for the new generations, i truly do.... I spent hours trying to convince my son/ daughter not to join... both of them struggle with their decisions, with limited money to train, they are often left begging for something to do, ... We as a nation don't deserve there commitment, not the way we treat them, and our military... Most Canadians have no idea what their military provides for them every hour of every day or how that commitment translated into our own foreign policy, and how it is implemented ...nor do they care... Many vets such as myself feel betrayed by our nation, and it's people...who only has time for it's soldiers when the nation is in crises...Ice storms, floods, fires... Conservatives are always hopeful... they will fix everything PP has made statements which in reality or in my experience i don't know how he is going to fix the military when there is so many things that need to get fixed, and only so much funding to go around...and some little room left in the old debt closet...So i don't see things getting fixed anytime soon...but there is always hope...but even that is in short supply... What is woke agenda....well we are in the operating room, our heart has stopped, people are running around looking for a crash cart... and the government is worried about things like tattoos, face jewelry, growing your hair out in any color, being more inclusive, filling our the diversity chart to ensure everyone is represented in all ranks...which is important to all Canadians but lets not forget what their primary job is... closing with our enemies and destroying them...Not sure if you can even say that today....anyways we have the military that we want and more importantly we have the military we deserve.... want to change that, make it "your" priority some how...put it on the ballad...if you don't it only gets worse from here...

  5. I fully understand the police have a very difficult job but there’s a line you can’t go beyond. It was clearly crossed with both Floyd and Eric Garner, another person suspected of a minor crime who posed no imminent threat to the public. You can’t compromise a suspect’s breathing unless you are in mortal danger.

  6. 1. How are 'foreign warlords' taking advantage ? You mean by sowing division ? If so, that's at least as much a product of our rights to unencumbered self-expression as social divisions isn't it ? 2. It's a stretch of futurism to try to predict social problems fifty years hence. Imagine it 1973... anyone predicting half of the social change we see today let alone the political-economic changes would make Nostradamus look like a punter. 3. What happened in the past few weeks ? The Hamas attacks is the only thing I can think of and we're talking about it - to my mind in pretty open terms. 4. I don't think it's hyperbole to THINK about group-think. ( I call it by its old name on purpose ) I do think it's hyperbole (and self-serving) to warn that it will be destroying us in 50 years. It's very hard to predict 50 years down the way as I point out. And the alternative is to suppress free discussion on things like race, equality and such which we have NOT done. We have Balkanized the discussion but as evidenced by this forum there is a vast though unmeasured weight of quiet centrist thought on many of these topics. I am open to ideas that this person submits, and maybe more than ever too... but I always need evidence and not just anecdotes of some campus extremist's statements.

  10. Back in 2019, Twitter was a member of the "Trusted News Initiative" along with Google, FB, CBC, BBC, WashPo, NYT, AP, Reuters, etc. If you click that link you'll see that CBC already told you that, I'm just the messenger. Twitter was also a cesspool and a gathering place for terrorists, anarchists, rioters, looters alike. BUT, because they were in the TNI, and they were still fostering Demonrat narratives and banning conservatives for telling the truth, leftists and the TNI loved them. Elon Musk was a leftist hero - his electric cars were saving the world. Suddenly when Elon Musk went to take over Twitter, and end the TNI's fascist lockdown of the public discourse, Musk was instantly an enemy of all humanity and Twitter was in danger of becoming a weapon of Russian disinformation and hate messaging. News Alert: Twitter already was the exact thing that leftists were saying it might become. Twitter was already at rock bottom - an agent of disinformation and narrative laundering. Musk bought Twitter to end the TNI's embargo on truth and decency. Now X is the bad boy of social media, just like Fox News is the bad boy of television news, and Musk is an enemy of the one-world media conglomerate. X is no longer onboard with pushing alt-left narratives and cancelling the truth, and the attacks on X are coming from all of the worst people in our society, and on our planet.

  13. Oh, look! Beave just made another snotty post, completely devoid on information, cites, facts and intelligent commentary. Go to hell little boy. I've already mopped the floor with you 1,000 times here. I don't need to listen to your lies. No, they trumpeted his clams as if they were absolute proof of the Trumpocalypse, and then dialled them back at a glacial pace while ignoring the fact that they all used it as a huge racial division tactic. "MAGA types really are that bad, and Jussie really is a victim, but he just did that because he's sad." BS. They let anyone who wanted to call Brown a gentle giant have all the Oxygen in the room. Then they painted all non-FBI members of law enforcement as "HIDEOUS RACIST COPS! DEFUND! DEFUND! DEFUND!" They acted like all of the anger was righteous and justified. They never spoke out against the violence at all. Not in the first month, the second month, the 8th month, etc... They just kept fanning the flames. He was always just a great guy. The riots started in mid-2014 and didn't end until 2017. They never said "Hey look, dummies. This guy was obviously a violent criminal. Here's the video evidence. Stop burning down neighbourhoods." Then they just loved 'em some more riots in 2020. They couldn't get enough of the violence. It was like leftard porn. Then suddenly in 2021 "OMG! RIOTERS! LYNCH THEM ALL!!!!!" They had no choice but put him in jail. The whole country was rioting, killing people, attacking the WH, and burning things. Watch the video of Tony Timpa dying, stupid. He died the same way, it just took longer. The only differences were: Timpa was never considered to be a criminal at that point in time. He was just a guy wth mental issues who was off his meds, did some coke, and then called the cops on himself because he was having an anxiety attack. The cops toyed with him for 14 minutes, and even joked about him after he was dead. Then they hid the evidence of how he died and lied about it for six months. When the evidence was finally leaked, none of them even went to jail. They didn't even get fired. If you were unfortunate enough to go to the neighbourhood where Timpa was murdered during the G Floyd riots, you could have been arrested by the very same guys who killed Timpa. Isn't that crazy? Was it racist? It must have been because some of the cops who killed him were black... right? They were considered crackpot fringe theories by leftards because the MSM said as much, but now we know that there actually was a BSL4 lab in Wuhan where they were doing GOF research on the coronavirus. What's crackpot about that stupid? It's all 100% true, and you're just sitting there with your head in the sand. It's also true that people from Wuhan were allowed to fly to Canada and walk freely into any building in the country until March 16th, and by the 23rd we weren't even allowed to walk around in BC's provincial parks. It's also true that Trudeau said "Covid won't really affect Canadians", gave away tons of our PPE to China, and we never got shit back from them. Then Trudeau didn't bother to order vaccines from the US, for political reasons no doubt (Operation Warp Speed - can't do it). Canada was at the back of the vax bus and in order to get started here we poached 1.9M vaccines from the 3rd world charity pool. Those vaccines were supposed to go to Drs and nurses. Nope, Trudeau grabbed them. Then Trudeau said "I can't foresee any scenario where we have vaccine mandates", then 3 months later we had vaccine mandates. We actually had full-blown vax-Naziism. Our leaders said that there was a "pandemic of the unvaccinated", but over 85% of covid deaths were among the vaxed here after we had 85% of our population vaxed. Then when they needed it to end, they just called it all off. They ignored it, even though deaths were up, by a lot. 30% more people died of covid in 2022 than 2021, and almost 90% of them were either 2x-, 3x- or 4x-vaxed. The MSM completely stopped talking about covid deaths even though they were 30% higher than in 2021, and 24% higher than in 2020. Again, every single word that I said there is 100% true. You should be upset that we were lied to so forcefully and so often, but you have to keep toeing the party line because when you admit how f'd up it all was, you're admitting how much of a credulous dolt you are. The Jewish Ukrainian Nazis were real, stupid. The Azovs are actual Nazis. They wear the tattoos, their insignias came from the Nazis, and they call themselves Nazis. You don't get to decide for them. The bioweapons research labs are real, stupid. The Jewish Nazi part is just another one of your stupid lies. You have no shame. The FBI are actual criminals, that's not up for debate. Clinesmith pleaded guilty, and the FBI were notified before they applied for the first FISA warrant that Page was a CIA asset. Loser, literally every single thing I say here is 100% true. Yes, it always conflicts with what CNN says, but then CNN always ends up being "wrong". 12 items there for you. Try to prove even one wrong, stupid.

  15. They threw the book at him, due to how blatantly he disregarded the life of the suspect who he had restrained. This wasn't a racial issue, but was personal. 9 times out of 10 watching an entire police video, had me siding with the cops. This one is just irrefutable. Its the equivalent of a fist fight where one gets dropped with a hook. Only to jump on the prone combatant, to throw 35 more, then get up and kick him in the head. This is essentially how this cop went from doing his job, to the horrified crowd gathering on him knowing what they were witnessing was deeply wrong. I hope you never become a cop if you feel the cop was fully justified in the force used.

  17. Russia annexed Crimea because Biden and Obama were talking about Ukraine joining NATO all the way back in 2009. Period. Part of the reason that Biden was even in Ukraine "helping them get rid of the corruption in their country" was so that they could eventually join NATO. The US was investing heavily in shoving NATO up Russia's ass when Obama was president. That's the world that we all live in, regardless of what you want to believe. I get that you personally dislike Putin. I get that he's a dictator. I get that Russia is, now more than ever before, an actual enemy of our country and of Canadians. But that doesn't alter the facts one bit. Russia didn't just do a land grab for no reason. CRIMEA AS A PART OF NATO DOES NOT WORK FOR RUSSIA. NATO IN EASTERN UKRAINE DOES NOT WORK FOR RUSSIA. RUSSIA HAD NO CHOICE BUT GO TO WAR TO PREVENT THAT. Yeah, I get that CNN wants you to believe that Ukraine was only invaded because Putin is a weally bad guy, but CNN doesn't own your f'ing brain. You do. WTF would you do if you were Russia (not Putin but RUSSIA) and NATO was going to be in Crimea, so you'd lose your Sevastopol naval base there which dominates the Black Sea... American subs and ships would be operating from there... You see the world through the eyes of a child. Obama/Biden's plan for NATO in Crimea and Ukraine is WAYYYYYY across Russia's red line. All that you're saying when you keep posting is that you don't have a f'ing clue why wars are fought, and what kind of consequences there are for sticking a military alliance in someone's face. I still have close friends who will die if end up at war with Russia. I don't treat this like a series of CNN/Putin talking points. It's real life, with real consequences and real wars. Stop thinking like a keyboard warrior and act like Canadian lives depend on us doing the right thing. "NOT ONE INCH EASTWARD" (Past Germany). I got out of the Navy just after that. I was getting out when the Berlin wall was coming down. I actually had plans to go there with some of my friends after we got out, but two of them chickened out and stayed in the navy. That was a great time. The cold war was ramping down, bigtime. FFWD to 2009, suddenly it's a shitshow again because of hawkish Demonrat policies. The Dems and everyone dumb enough to support this can go straight to hell. We poked the bear, buh-bye Crimea and the Donbas. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. "NOT ONE MORE F'ING DOLLAR FOR UKRAINE, learn to be better neighbours."

  19. This warrants pain compliance procedures to subdue him. No argument here. Chauvin was textbook in this regard. The argument starts, at how much is too much. A knee on a neck for over 9 minutes when a suspect is complying, is far too much. For a counterfeit 20$ bill, no less. Think about that for a second. Let's say you go to a store, cash out, and are handed 10$. Its a fake bill. You legit have no idea its tainted and are detained like this, after initially resisting because you want to know why you're being stopped. He's on drugs, but wasn't driving. Lets assume he had no clue the bill was counterfeit. Again. He's on drugs. Ever try reasoning with a crackhead? You can't. Best to be the one deescalating. Pain compliance without allowing for the chance of compliance to occur as per what some experts have stated, is "just pain". Inflicting deliberate pain onto a subject for that long, when their screams have turned into a whimper, and their fight has been rendered to them lying limp onto the ground, would have warranted him being sat back up to recover. That was an opportunity he was never given. Or at the very least, to remove himself from the suspect, instructing him that if he didn't stop resisting, that he would remain on him. Again, he no longer was resisting. What's the point of applying pain compliance, if you feel them finally complying no longer matters? That little bit of compassion was unexistent. I don't think Chauvin intended to kill Floyd that day, but his lack of empathy and if you watch the footage, he deliberately removed his foot off the ground, balancing the entire brunt of his weight directly onto Floyd's neck. Sheer disregard for the person underneath him. I don't know if you've ever had someone try to choke you out, but that was essentially what was being done. I have seen cops kicked and spat on, show far more restraint.

  20. No it's not. It's just something that you've seen repeated over and over in the retardo-sphere and that's all it takes to convince someone as dumb as you about something you already want to believe. That's also why you think the US election was stolen - orange man repeats the lie enough times and the intellectually stunted just accept it. Ukraine doesn't trust a diplomatic solution with Russia that forces them to cede territory, because Vladimir Putin's word is worth less than used toilet paper. Any settlement, they reason, is nothing more than a pause for them to re-arm and regroup before their next bullshit excuse to invade.

  24. This was a misconception, unfortunately. Someone with their breathing restricted will be able to talk, and even breathe. I have had tonsillitis so bad, my throat was nearly swollen shut. I could breathe sure, but it was highly restricted. Breathing shouldn't be labored. This mean something serious is afoot. If you start getting lightheaded like I did, or get the "spins" like I like to call it, when you just know you're about to lose consciousness, then you have reached the point of no return. I obviously could speak, but my voice told the tale. I wasn't even considering the hospital, until I collapsed. Its a horrible misconception. His voice and breathing was clearly labored. My wife is the nurse, but I don't need her education to know dude was about to pass out seeing how hard he was working to breathe. Him being a resisting suspect doesn't mean he deserved a horrible death like this. Insane. You can walk after a serious concussion. Doesn't mean you're fine. I have had numerous playing competitive sports. Probably explains the brain damage I have. Or at least thats what the wife blames on my horrible memory. One of which had me collapse, and struggle to get back up, but once up--I dusted myself off as I was normal and kept playing. In today's knowledge based society, that would be a rather low IQ assessment. Back then, it was spot on. No limbs dangling, you're good to go! Tape it up, otherwise.

  30. Exactly. It’s about quality of life and living standards. GDP per person is falling. Our living standards are falling. What’s more, Canadian values of meritocracy and upward mobility through hard work are being undermined by various forms of central planning, which divides the population into various preferred victim groups (“deserving” recipients of handouts according to equity checklists) versus designated oppressor groups (“privileged” settler colonialists who are basically the early immigrants to Canada and their descendants). The government is dividing the population based on socialist social engineering schemes to redistribute wealth. Ultimately this destroys free markets, opportunity, and our meritocracy. It strips away the American/Canadian Dream of anyone from any background working hard and seeing that hard work pay off, making home ownership and prosperity less accessible. Canada is at risk of killing the goose that lays the golden egg. Our infrastructure, housing supply, and ability to absorb people with cultural values that conflict with the Canadian way of life are stretched beyond what is reasonable. Basically we’re running the risk of downgrading Canada in fundamental ways. On the other hand, the left has brought this situation upon themselves through naivety. They now don’t understand why we can no longer speak freely for fear of cancellation or why people feel that their traditional values are being compromised beyond recognition. Well, we’ve imported conflicts from overseas and we’ve told ourselves and our children exaggerated stories about how colonial and oppressive Canada is, so we’ve basically given away the farm to people whose values don’t even align with the prosperous and free country we once knew. We’re not allowed to be French or English or white or of European ancestry or Jewish or Christian or capitalist or even democratic, because these run counter to the settler colonialist oppressor narrative that our own federal government and Human Rights Tribunal promulgates. It’s why we now see protesters and universities supporting terrorist organizations. It’s why China is influencing policy in Canada in significant ways. Basically our own governments stopped valuing Canadian-ness. Now it’s about reparations and apologies and letting in as many people as possible to fluff up demand and growth while actually making life harder for individuals and families. I won’t even get into the environmental impacts of rampant immigration or how social tensions are undermining unrealistic notions of equity, diversity, and inclusion. Our activist government doesn’t see how these policies undermine their own ideology about fighting climate change and social harmony. People are over-taxed, figuratively and literally. The system is overstretched. It’s why we have inflation and can’t provide the goods and services that Canadians need and want.

Dude are you dense??? It was debunked by the fact that no evidence of criminal activity was found AFTER THREE YEARS OF THIS ACCUSATION circulating on right wing lunatic circles. and a reasonable accusation exists. People are legally allowed to submit ballots foe their immediate family members and a woman submits 3 ballots. You are hallucinating if you think that “proves” anything. Like a true totalitarian you demand proof of innocence even though there’s no proof of crime. You copied and pasted it in your own post, the original post on this thread. therefore you saiw it.

THE PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE is a cornerstone of democracy. It’s completely unsurprising that you have no concept of it. The absolute absence of any evidence of wrongdoing 3 YEARS AFTER THE FACT DESPITE ALL INVESTIGATIONS AND AUDITS means that by all definitions she is innocent.

Glad we could clear that up for you. Every single death in this war is because of hamas. hamas - who could end it tomorrow by surrendering and ending the war they started.

  42. After 35 years in the Military, rising to the rank Of Chief Warrant Officer, I retired, with dignity. I went to the release centre at NDHQ. I sat down in front of a private who asked me some questions, looked at and showed me copies of documents he was giving me. Made me sign for these copies. Took my building pass and called for an escort to show me the door. I was done. I was done and on the street. I now had to find a doctor, dentist and other needs. There was no and is no support for anyone leaving the Military.We do not have Military services or hospitals or doctors to take care of veteran yet most Canadian think we do. We are not Americans that honour respect and think their veterans for their service. I am not looking for sympathy as I did very well. I had planned and was OK but just to say, when our military releases after service, they are nothing. Some try to stay in their past lives but really, it is mostly their imagination of grandeur. The Military is not "society" and never should be as we ask our men and women in the military to do things the rest of Canadians do not want to do, or should not have to do. We train them to do the dirty shit Canadians do not want to talk about. We should give them the respect for doing that for us.

  44. To whit and hot off the press: the Harper government’s memorial to “the victims of communism” is riddled with Nazis. You see in WW2 the Nazis lost 75% of their military on the Russian front, technically making the Nazis also “victims of communism” The Harper conservatives will honour nazis killed by communists but not communists killed by Nazis even though in WE2 the Nazis were the enemy and the communists were the allies Victims of Communism memorial could damage Canada's reputation if Nazi collaborators included in those being honoured: documents The memorial is supposed to honour those who suffered under communism and will include a wall of remembrance. The Victims of Communism memorial to be unveiled in Ottawa next year has the potential to damage Canada’s reputation and cause tensions with foreign governments if Nazi collaborators are inadvertently honoured on the monument. The warnings from Canadian diplomats in 2021 foreshadow some of the criticism the federal government faced in September when MPs gave two standing ovations to a Ukrainian Canadian veteran who served in Hitler’s Waffen SS. That move was met with international ridicule and anger. The Victims of Communism memorial is supposed to honour those who suffered under communism and will include a wall of remembrance, which will allow 600 names of individuals, groups or events to be listed. But concerns have been raised by Jewish organizations that names of eastern Europeans who collaborated with the Nazis in the Holocaust have been put forward in an attempt to whitewash their past. Government officials have already identified some individuals who served with the Waffen SS among those names submitted, according to the federal documents obtained by this newspaper under the Access to Information law. Other alleged Nazi collaborators associated with the memorial have also been identified by the Department of Canadian Heritage, but the exact number is censored from the records. “It is important to note that many anti-communist and anti-Soviet advocates and fighters were also active Nazi collaborators, who committed documented massacres,” Global Affairs Canada officials warned their counterparts in Canadian Heritage. “We anticipate that the listing of names that are not thoroughly vetted and the result of a broad consensus could generate significant controversy both in Canada and abroad” the diplomats added. Private donations have already been made to the monument in the names of Nazi collaborators, the CBC reported in July 2021. Those include Roman Shukhevych, a Ukrainian nationalist whose troops murdered Jews and Poles, as well as Ante Pavelić who ran a Nazi puppet regime in Croatia and is considered a chief perpetrator of the Holocaust in the Balkans, the CBC noted….Ukrainians, Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians were recruited by the Nazis for use in various militias and police groups that helped round up and execute Jews, and those records are incomplete. “GAC is not in a position to assess or vet the names of foreign nationals from Eastern and Central Europe that are being proposed,” the diplomats warned. … https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/victims-of-communism-memorial-could-damage-canadas-reputation-if-nazi-collaborators-included-in-those-being-honoured-documents

  45. I worked with a woke person before. She berated me after I laughed about a racial joke an employee made about my wife. My wife is Asian. She was offended on my wife's behalf (a very key far left woke liberal tendency--getting offended on your behalf), unaware my wife has a sense of humor. I wouldn't have married someone without one. She was white, but felt the need to "educate" me about racism. All sentences ending with a condescending high inflection. How silence was acceptance of racism, like I should be ashamed of not fighting every slight or microaggression as if you could end racism by force. Yet unable to discern between her tolerance for such humor and mine as potentially being different, nor the intent behind the humor being key. Nuances she was clueless towards. I knew debate was a waste of time so I just agreed with everything she said. Shame only makes people do it behind your back. I then asked her if she had ever experienced racism (seeing she wasn't going to stop): "No I have not". I grin and act surprised. It didn't hit her she was lecturing a black person on how to deal with something she had never experienced. Something I had dealt with my entire life. No in depth knowledge other than self help book quotes. This is wokeness in today's world. Has nothing to do with empathy. Type of people who want you to constantly feel shame for being a Canadian for what the country did in the past. Heck, we should be shamed of our national anthem. How dare we call this our country. Its stolen land. To feel shame for being white. To be ashamed for being male. A lot of these woke causes demand shame and reflection, but amount to nothing done. Horrible policies that typically don't look into data. Just shame and vitriol for dissenting opinions. The border fiasco in the US. Woke ideology would shame anyone wanting better border control, but deliberately deny the data. Once the floodgates open and they are faced with the problem, now their "sanctuary states" no longer can accept this to continue. They coin terms like TERF, to shame and silence dissent. This is about control. White savior complexes and narssisism. Same person would berate another for using plastic straws, yet throw garbage bags out which contain just as much, if not more plastic. Worse even, would think lesser of those who didn't, even though 95% of plastic waste makes it to landfill. Last time I checked, empathy was about understanding the feelings of another. Not feeling on their behalf.

  46. False. “The democrat” conceded on election night and never alleged the election results were fraudulent. We know the Trump team had secret communications with the Russians to obtain the stolen emails they hacked from her and we know they lied about it, that’s a matter of record. The only question is whether what they did met the definition of any crime. The official finding of the investigation was that the investigation was obstructed by the Trump White House, the allegations were not “debunked”. It was debunked, period. Unlike in the collusion case nobody was caught lying or sneaking around or doing anything unusual. No evidence of any crime was presented, unlike Russian hacking of Hillary’s emails which is a crime regardless of whether Trump was involved or not. And no the posted fact check doesn’t say she may have breaking the law it says there’s no reason to believe she was breaking the law. Duhhh. When you said: CNN’s news cameras caught a masked woman in Ohio stuffing a ballot box on live TV during the 2020 Presidential Election, which CNN and other corporate media outlets claim was “safe and secure” and not riddled with unprecedented levels of fraud from both government officials and paid political hacks. CNN’s cameras were set up beside “the only ballot drop box in Cuyahoga County, Ohio” during early voting in the 2020 election, and captured a lone woman dumping a heaping handful of ballots that obviously belonged to a large group of people. There’s at least one massive problem with this entire situation, considering that ballot harvesting is ILLEGAL And then said: all they can say is we can't be SURE she's doing something illlegal. Which means we can't be sure she's not. So you’ve stated that you believe she’s guilty and then stated that she can’t be presumed innocent without evidence That is a hilarious statement! You are not a rational thinker you are a temperamental emotional thinker like all people who succumb to conspiracies. You are the one who gets your news from partisan propaganda websites like the one in this OP… the epitome of tribal echo chambers. I criticize Trudeau, liberals and Biden all the time while you and the rest of the righties are absolutely incapable of ever disagreeing with or criticizing republican or conservative parties. Its absolutely absurd that you would criticize me for the thing that absolutely defines you. …all because I didn’t fall for your obviously bogus 3yr old fake claim that’s already been taken down. Seriously dude take a real look in the mirror.
