TPS is pulling a Keystone Cops routine to make it more plausible that they allowed a serial killer to operate in the gay village for eight years unchecked, and completely botched the investigation of a high-profile assassination, due to absolute incompetence rather than indifference or malice.

Oh my god you retards just say you feel sick and take a cab home, then go to bed. Why in this timeline do I need to tell cops how to handle overdoing edibles that they have stolen while on the clock? What is even happening?

I gotta say, I'm mostly frightened. Also dumbfounded. The amused isn't always there. I'm tired of all the bad stuff happening that hurts people. But a bunch of cops getting so high on stolen pot brownies they 10-33 deserves a LOL.

Yeah Dougie used to be a hash dealer. What worries me is that Doug has (some) brains. He knows how to peddle to the OPC base very, very well.

Keep in mind, if Doug were to win the leadership, if the PCPO got anything less than a majority in the coming election, we'd be guaranteed another one immediately following the first confidence vote. He is legendarily bad at actual politics, he cannot cooperate with anyone, even people ostensibly on his side.

Yeah, that's kinda the point though. The Legislative Assembly of Ontario is not the American Federal system, probably helps to keep that in mind before making comparisons.

Another thing the Some Great Idea book reminded me of was Rob Ford's conflict of interest court case saga where his defence was literally that he was so aggressively ignorant he shouldn't be at fault. And then surprise, he was found guilty and removed from office (to be appealed later of course).

Sorry, I guess I'm just really sick of people making this comparison like it's some great insight, when no, they are not even remotely comparable because of the political systems they operate in. Doug Ford could literally be Donald Trump and it would not be a useful comparison, except possibly for how badly it's going to shithouse his party.

I didn't follow the particulars of that one much but it definitely sounded shady as poo poo. The Ford one was so egregious though because it went to an actual court where Rob Ford testified on the stand with that defence for all to hear. Also the Crown showed that Rob had clearly understood the rules in other situations so he couldn't even effectively claim to be dumb all the time, just selectively.

It was the flag raising for the international day against transphobia in 2013*. Gawker had just leaked The Star's crack-video investigation the previous day. *Ford was not a fan of this or Pride and tried to avoid both whenever possible.

Today is "Wow, the Prairies are Really Goddamn Racist!": remember the white farmer who shot a 22-year-old Cree man? His case will be decided by an all-white jury, after the defence worked to exclude every First Nations person from the jury. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/colten-boushie-shooting-case-jury-selection-gerald-stanley-1.4506931 Boy, they're really gonna step on their dick with this case, aren't they?

His case will be decided by an all-white jury, after the defence worked to exclude every First Nations person from the jury. What gets me is the amount of genuine shock and dismay at all of the people making racist comments about this story. Are they only interviewing tourists, or something? Who sees a story about an Indigenous person in 2018 and doesn't immediately react with "oh, this should lead to some thoughtful and nuanced discussion"? e: quote:"As we learn about the size of the judicial boundary, it seems obvious that many people in the far north would not be able or willing to travel to Battleford," he said. So now my question is how many of the 200 or so who did show up came from a First Nation.

This is completely unsurprising because people of colour are treated as exceptions who are defined by their race but white people are treated as the norm who are defined by their beliefs. Every single indigenous person was considered potentially biased because they share a race with the deceased, but yet every single white person was not considered potentially biased because they share a race with the accused.

I mean, at least George Zimmerman had to pretend his life was being threatened before he shot Trayvon Martin. I think the defence in the Colten Boushie case is "we thought they were stealing something" (not an excuse for killing someone, even if it was 100% true) and "I was just trying to scare them, the gun went off by accident" (tough poo poo, don't use a gun to scare people, you loving moron. Do not point a gun at something you aren't prepared to destroy).

Dude shouldn't have shot that kid IMO, it was an unjustifiable killing, but don't start posting about the poor kid that got shot for trying to get help for a flat tire when there's evidence pointing to that group getting shot after committing burglary at at least one other farm and then attempting the same at a second. It's a shame. That kid shouldn't have died. Even if they were on a robbery spree the socioeconomic conditions that lead to them doing that shouldn't have even existed, but it really seems like this isn't nearly as cut and dry as 'poor innocent kids pull into driveway for help and get shot at because racism' and pushing that narrative does nothing to even begin to fix the issues that contributed to his death. So don't do it, unless you want to further prove that none of you privileged fucks actually give a poo poo about supporting or contributing to a solution to our society's problems, rather than just yelling at the cause of them chasing your angry internet leftist high.
