Reply to Toronto MP Han Dong quits Liberal caucus amid Chinese interference allegations by chemicologist
The Liberal Party has turned into the foreign asset that they accused others of. This fucker was even telling China to keep holding onto the two Michael's who were kidnapped by the Chinese gov. because it might give the Conservatives an edge. Seems our allies are sick of Canada's shit and are revealing how deep the corruption goes.
Of course Trudeau won't do a public inquiry. If he is innocent in this it would literally clear his name.
Edit: lol at whoever is abusing the suicide helpline feature. Go touch grass.

If you’re urban enough that people steal your spot, can’t you walk/bike?

Don't they serve them with papers when they have a RO against them? I assume they do, else how would someone know about it? And if they served him with the RO, then they could have arrested him right then.

>If fees hurt restaurants too much, then restaurants can choose to not do business through Uber.
Uber and Doordash will list restaurants in their services even if the restaurant tells them not to.

Bean burritos are super cheap, filling, and can be changed up flavor wise depending on the sauce you use. They even make microwaveable rice packets or have microwaveable rice cookers if you don’t want to make rice in a pot. I use spinach because i can use it in all kinds of dishes for the week. It is our lazy meal.

Yes but the rest of the state is still fucked. We're in the four corners area and my wife had a panic attack 4 years ago. She was arrested and spent 5 fucking days locked up without her essential medicine. She was 62 when this happened.

The kid was on some kind of disciplinary plan that required him to be frisked every morning at school. He had likely threatened this exact action towards staff/students.
So everyone, including this kid's parents, knew he was a risk. Was he still able to get one of his parent's guns or did he score it on the street?

> guns were harder to get in the 80s
What are you smoking? There's a great case to be made that specific kinds of tacticool firearms are marketed more aggressively and occupy a bigger chunk of the market share these days, but in terms of pure ease of access the 80s and 90s were definitely less restrictive times for buying (much less possessing) guns in general and handguns in specific.
[Edit to incorporate response to later, now deleted, comment]
> There is simply vastly more guns in America now then in the 80s.
Are you...are you suggesting that if someone wanted one in the 80s, there just weren't enough for sale? Because that's just screaming I wasn't alive in the 80s! The US population has also increased roughly 50% since 1980, and of course we're concerned about access, which is a per capita thing.
>Plus in the 94, we had a ban on assault weapons, which expired in 2004
Heh, you're not real clear on what that thing did, I see. I used to own a few 12 round mags with the RESTRICTED LEO/GOVT USE ONLY 10-94 branding...they came with a legally purchased pistol I received from a FFL around 2002. All the 94 "ban" did was change what the stocks on the new ARs in the shop looked like, and how expensive the old ARs and standard cap mags were...that's it.
>shooting with assault weapons have grown exponentially since
Yes, numbers are what they are. But you're mistaking correlation with causation here. Moreover, 10 drops in a bucket is an exponential increase from 1 drop in a bucket...but we're still talking drops in a bucket. The staggeringly vast majority of US gun homicides were and are handguns.

I wonder if the high cost of restaurant food is tied to the fact that a delivery app charges the restaurant so much that they feel it necessary to raise prices to meet profit margins. If so, the phrase ,” just don’t use them”, doesn’t do us any good.

Easy access to guns. Youths in other countries feel the same depression and pain and rage and play the same violent games and watch the same violent tv and movies and use the same social media that sometimes promotes violence, but the access to guns is what keeps school shootings down.

Gun control. But we’re the only country where that won’t work for some reason. /s
