Let's do a historical "fact-check" on this account, shall we? I was intending on working on my novel today anyhow and I thought, 'hey, what a great chance for me to consult with my notes.'
Let's begin with "The Law of Suspects":
(Brace yourselves for an historical thread)
1/ September 17th, 1793: "The Law of Suspects," was officially passed and handed le Comité de Salut Public and the Comité de Sûeté Générale (public security) sweeping powers of "arrest and punishment (of) anyone defined as harbouring counter-revolutionary designs."

I’m only going to do this ONCE to this account: the Chevalier de Saint-George’s death date is in dispute and it depends on which source you visit:
1/ WBUR is “Boston’s NPR,” which prides itself on its journalism excellence. They quote Saint-George’s death to be June 12, and oh - look at that - he was “poor.”

As the Emergencies Act Inquiry draws to a close, I'm glad that I hadn't paid any attention to it for the majority of the proceedings.
I used to be a Liberal/NDP/Green voter and I won't be voting for any of those parties for a very long time, if ever again.

Over the past 2 years, I have lost faith in Federal/Provincial governments, public health, and our judicial system. Up until 2020, I had trust in these 3 pillars of my country, even if I didn't agree with the politics. I still had faith in Canada and our institutions.

@YasMohammedxx We must not be bullied into silence by those who mean to do us harm. I watched a video yesterday of a man being punished by a mob and it reminded me of some of my elementary school bullying experiences which were extremely traumatic.

@YasMohammedxx The bullying was so extensive that in high school, a boy who used to attended elementary school w/me said that he thought what the other kids did to me was cruel, horrible, and he never liked it.
