| The numerous Friday night firings of countless investigators who are exposing the misdeeds of Trump and his cronies will be remembered as a hallmark of this epically corrupt White House. They try to do these in the dead of night at the start of the weekend to minimize press coverage of their coverup |

| So Trudeau's approach and engagement with the world was apparently no better than Harper's despite his claims that's why we didn't get a seat in 2010. So after committing our troops to Peace Keeping missions and giving foreign aide to every country on the planet who asked for it, China included. Wh... |

| This was because like conservatives everywhere, they distrust any sort of international agreement and instead insist on either going it alone or tagging along with Uncle Sam. It's completely hypocritical of conservatives (both in Canada and on CKA) to complain about Canada's lack of international i... |

Summary of conservative views:
- Canada has had a seat on the UNSC in every decade since the UN was founded, until the 2000s but its only wrong if Trudeau also goes for it
- Stephen Harper also bid for a seat in 2010 and failed but it’s only wrong if Trudeau does it |

| Was he shot in the back? I thought he was shot in the front as he was pointing the taser All the media reports I've seen say he was shot in the back, but if you watch the end of the Wendy's video, you see he tries to fire the taser backwards at the cop chasing him. Time stamp about 35 seconds of vi... |

| This is where the concept of scaling back police duties is going overboard. DUI is a dangerous crime that kills people. It's not like taking the cops off of jaywalking busts. Pulling the DUI over, yes it's dangerous and should be done by a cop. But a guy parked in a lot who looks drunk? No. You cou... |

| In the world we live in now, the one that these officers live in, DUI means you have to attempt an arrest. From what I understand things went smoothly for over 40 minutes then went downhill fast when the attempt was made. In many places, it is not required to be arrested if you are found to be driv... |
