? What do you mean? It will be even cheaper to use immigrants now because they will have even fewer protections, and you can always cycle out all the complainers and anyone who takes too long to get anything done.

"Elbows up" is a saying/slang/expression in hockey to mean "get ready to fight" (hockey basically allows guys to throw fists between plays for some reason). It is currently being used in political ads and other pro Canada ads in reference to the current trade war.

I was riffing off this, since (as a headline) this is just Canada rolling over for cry baby Trump. It's not elbows up. It's daddy Trump telling Carney off like a toddler and Carney cowering. "Elbows off the table!"

Elbows off the table.

I believe they are referring to Jhaj.

It's cops talk for "we for some reason can't name the person you are asking about, but we are investigating a person who exactly matches their description.

Translation: "we wish to look like we are doing our jobs"

Emphasis on START digging. I thought that was a terrible article. All questions, almost no answers.

I still do not understand what's going on with this.

1. What is the end goal? Is he just sexually excited by hiring children to roleplay him being famous, or is the hope (for him. A terrible word obviously) that he will have some opportunity to assault or abuse one of these children?
2. Where is the money from? This question should be what the cops focus on. He or someone is bankroling this bizarre behavior somehow. If what he is doing is illegal (which I also still don't know if it is??) then shut the money down and jail the people bankroling it.
3. I just really don't understand

Thank you for your garbage take which lead to some informative discussion below!

How? How does an average American do that? If they want him gone he could be detained and shipped out long before anyone could gather to say "no please if you wouldn't mind not destroying democracy more than you already have...."

(Note I am not an American, but seeing the state your country is in gives me anxiety by proxy. What would I be able to do if I was one?)

Was it? If only some journalist would .... Idk... Do their job....

But that is at least a reason, thank you.

I commented on another post of this that I was lost as well. If it's a fake wedding, what was the angle? What was to be gained? What was illegal?

Perfect so I'm sure this settlement will affect absolutely nobody it should.

Sorry, maybe I'm mixing them up with some other nightmare of a company, aren't they out of business? Execs probably already secured all their extra $$$$ and this 2.3 will have to come out of what they get selling the office chairs, and probably before any employees get anything they are entitled to.

I've noticed a theme with all these articles of ICE arresting people for no reason. Why isn't the officer being charged/disiplined? I'm assuming ICE isn't going to admit they gave these officers those matching orders, so what these officers are doing is just regular illegal shit. No journalist is gonna ask when the officer will face discipline? At all?

I'm well aware that ICE would hide their officers and do a "we investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing". But that's kinda the first step kids... Each and every one of these masked goons is commiting crime. Like regular old "assault" type crime. Not even mentioning this or asking for justice just gives them more power.

Me:that was uncalled for... Maybe Australian or something but still... Me: reads user name Me: "ah, a fine compliment."

Why is the thumbnail a baggie jeans butt with the body in a bush? What does this mean?

The home grown San Marzanos were left in a single layer on the kitchen table (because that's how my aunt does it I don't know but it's pretty and whatever)

See. This is what we need. People helping people.

If you subtract the military personal who were ordered to attend, that sounds like a very reasonable guess. Maybe they could get swag like the 1%ers. Hats and T-shirts with "I'm one of the 8647 TRUE Americans!"

Somebody please do this.

So I spent the money on a NASA level bidet for that reason. Everyone I knew had been getting bidets and nobody would shut up about it, but they were all getting the $40 wands from Amazon. I couldn't imagine my poor innocent pucker taking an icy blasting daily, so when we bought one we got the full toilet seat replacement with heated dryer, seat and water heater.

After about 6 months I decided to turn the water heater off to save the .78cents a month in electricity, because it really didn't make a difference to me. The water is in the little hose and in the pipes of the house sitting and waiting for my butt for hours, it's perfectly room temp. I've never had a situation where my partner uses it first and then I do and the warm water runs down, or any other situation that would create that perfect storm, so I won't be buying one with a heater again...

The real life lesson I learned getting this bidet was because of the heated seat. You know the expression "you don't know what you go til it's gone"?

Well at first I noticed the welcoming warmth of the seat, and because the toilet is extra smart it "learns" when to expect me and my partner and preheats the seat to save energy.

But when I am off my routine, even just the weekends sometimes, I'll go and take a seat: instant sad. It's not freezing or anything, just unexpected enough and very mildly unpleasant. Something I never noticed before in my life (of luxury I guess, never had a bathroom so cold in my house that the change was shocking enough to register a memory.)

Now, every other toilet in the world is a very mild disappointment. This is a Greek tragedy in modern times.

If I owed half a million dollars to the CRA, what would happen?
