    Homeless Tent Cities in Canada

    I’d prefer 24 Sussex, as the provincial parliament is in Wascana Park, and we just got rid of an encampment there in the last couple years that was there for 240+ days. The parliament provincially is in the big park in Regina, that we ALL pay for and ALL get to use hopefully.

    Drove by City Hall with one of the Grandkids tonight. Eight police officers on the sidewalk, standing in a group, waiting. Busy place. 24hr notice to move. I think they’re on Fire/OD/smashing windows watch. Be interesting tomorrow.

    Black Lives Matter-Ugliness of Racism.

    Wow…so the above case in post 1558 relies on the testimony of an unnamed police informant & a guy with an IQ of 69 who I’m assuming was coerced by police. Sounds like a solid case….Not. An informant also told police she overheard McElwee, Grasty, Johnson and Chappell discussing their...

    Two years into the Trudeau 2.0 Minority Term, which day will Justin call the election that only he wants?

    Three were removed from cabinet: Mr. Mendicino, Mr. Lametti and Mona Fortier, who was president of the treasury board. It’ll be interesting to see where these three land….in the reward system as opposed to the back bench I’m assuming.
