Wideleft Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 On 2022-08-17 at 1:09 PM, Tracker said: Canadian mayor profanely taunts QAnon 'imbeciles' who tried to perform citizens arrests on her police. A group of QAnon believers over the weekend tried to conduct citizens arrests of police officers in the city of Peterborough, Ontario -- and then promptly got thrown into the slammer themselves. As Vice News reports, the QAnon faithful were in the city at the behest of Romana Didulo, the so-called "QAnon Queen" who earlier this year declared herself to be the "Leader of the World" during an event at a campground parking lot. Didulo instructed her supporters to arrest the Peterborough officers for enforcing COVID-19 pandemic restrictions such as mask requirements. As Vice News recounts, Didulo's plan resulted in one follower being "charged with two counts of assaulting police" another follower being slapped with "charges of mischief and resisting arrest" and a third being "arrested and charged with a myriad of charges, including assaulting a peace officer with a weapon." Peterborough Mayor Diane Therrien took to Twitter on Tuesday to profanely mock the QAnon believers who thought they could get away with arresting her city's police officers. "People have been asking me to comment on the events of the past weekend," she wrote. "I hate giving airtime/spotlight to these imbeciles. Here is my comment: f*ck off, you f*ckwads." https://www.alternet.org/2022/08/canadian-mayor-profanely-qanon-imbeciles/ She did a great interview on As It Happens. Listening to it is much better than the transcript (which has edited out some of the conversation). https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/as-it-happens-wednesday-edition-1.6553693/peterborough-mayor-defends-her-use-of-the-f-word-in-response-to-weekend-protest-1.6553815 WildPath, Tracker and blue_gold_84 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave of him to say this out loud though. I think Charest sees the writing on the wall, so it seems like the best thing he can do now is go after Poilievre as much as possible over the disgraceful company he's been keeping of late. Things for the CPC are only going to get worse now. Tracker and Noeller 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_gold_84 Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/moncton-health-care-summit-1.6558745 Quote Premiers who gathered Monday in Moncton, N.B. for a summit on health care called for significant changes to the delivery of services in their provinces and hinted at the possibility of offering more services through the private sector. Disagreements over health care funding have strained the relationship between Canada's premiers and the federal government for years now, but the increasingly dire situation in hospitals and emergency departments has pushed the premiers to push for change more aggressively. The premiers say Ottawa must increase its share of health-care funding from 22 to 35 per cent in order to build a sustainable and properly functioning system. The federal government contends that calculations used by the provinces do not accurately account for Ottawa's contributions to provincial health care services. What a mess.

Here's an idea for Alberta... if healthcare dollars are tight spend the $1 billion you pissed away on a doomed pipeline on healthcare.

Tracker Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Somehow, Poilievre and his ilk feel that by imitating the violent rhetoric of the Trump GOP, the shine of the American "successes" will rub off on them, but they will find that only the sh1t will. I am trying to stay confident that Canadians on the whole are a cut above such, but am having nagging doubts, and that frightens me.

O'Bonsawin is filling the seat left vacant by the upcoming retirement of Justice Michael J. Moldaver. "Justice O'Bonsawin is an accomplished jurist with expertise in the areas of mental health, Gladue principles, labour and employment law, human rights and privacy law," the PMO said in a media statement.
