We wouldn’t want to ruin his life like the person who was assaulted had his life shattered. Wealthy parents protect their investment when they should have been parenting and instilling ethics, values and the understanding that rape and assault are wrong and criminal.
Why bother to teach your children appropriate behaviour when you have the means to ensure infractions are a slap on the wrist and anonymity on the basis of confidentiality.
Remember, Harper loaded the judiciary when he was in power.
Harper’s appointment of up to 75% of lower court judges has consequences. Canada doesn’t have a Federalist Society training lawyers to interpret and promote far right ideology. At least not openly.
@Garossino They aren’t voting against their own interests. They believe they are voting in their interests. It’s not economic stability that’s the issue, it’s maintaining a strongman white supremacy based hierarchy.
@Garossino Many people don’t understand (nor have the base knowledge to understand) cause and effect. The factors contributing to stagnant wages, recessions and climate change are complex and difficult for anyone to understand.
@Garossino People who vote for UCP and CPC aren’t looking to improve their position in life. They’re looking for a clear target to blame and a govt that will punish those who are blamed. There doesn’t ever need to be resolution. They just need a scapegoat & to feel superior.
Is the media complicit in white washing once again the genocide on indigenous people?
Did conservatives wait the required number of news cycles for this issue to fade from top of mind to them demand the flag be raised?
How long is an appropriate time frame for grieving genocide?
I imagine it is uncomfortable for some who venerate JAM and the founding of Canada to keep this truth at the forefront of people’s consciousness. So discomforting they want to move along.
NDP aren’t the traditionally moderate socialists anymore. They’re left libertarian. Anarcho-syncalist.
What does that mean?
Glad you’re wondering. Their beliefs will be familiar and explain the similarities between NDP and CPC.
The first principle is anarchism. Removal of any central authority. Anarcho-syndicalists (AS) believe in power distributed among the people. Not in political representatives.
This belief includes a preference for direct democracy. Everyone’s voice is equally valid.
Equally valid includes issues which require knowledge, experience & expertise. For eg. covid measures; direct democracy advocates believe restrictions should be decided by everyone, not experts or govt. Because a physician’s opinion is no more valid than a mechanic or waiter.
Some people are clearly incapable of thinking about anyone but themselves.
It’s fascist to mandate safety? It’s appropriate to wish ill upon a child activist?
It’s an extreme example, but this is the far right mindset.
These types are just the loudest examples.
I often wonder if people who say this kind of stuff out loud have the capacity to understand the level of repugnance they generate in the rest of society. I don’t think they do. Honestly, who could be this disgusting and self aware?
It’s absurd how lacking in self awareness these people are. Imagine gaining joy from using swastikas to smear reputations or wishing a child dead because she’s an effective communicator.
This is pure egotistical hedonism. Depravity, turpitude, vulgarity.
You can easily observe that law enforcement is already on this trajectory.
-Violating human rights during arrests
-racial bias towards arrests and public interactions
-an increase in radicalization of officers
-surveillance of private citizens
-protecting property not people
@MgS_2011 is warning us. Alberta is moving into full blown fascism.
Law enforcement loyal to the government & imbued with police state authority is a classic fascist characteristic.
There are times when PMJT is amazing. He certainly is in his element when answering questions in a crowd. Especially when people are asking honest questions and not loaded questions that act like land mines. I admire his skills to relate to others. It’s inspiring.
But I’m not sure if those who watched this caught the bombshell he announced during this Q&A session.
I imagine it will come to the forefront in a matter of days at COP26. But the writing is on the wall for the Canadian O&G industry.
PMJT announced that the ceiling of fossil fuel expansion has been reached. There will be no more expansion of the fossil fuel industry. From this point forward, O&G is in decline. Sunsetting the industry is now the goal and replacing it with green energy options.
