In my experience you're not interested in a conversation, just making circular, pedantic, bad faith arguments. I'm not interested in that kind of conversation.

The Notwithstanding Clause is an admission that what they are doing is an unconstitutional christofascist virtue signaling attack on a vulnerable minority.

Fuck all christofascists. Get out and vote these assholes out the next chance you get.

The answers you seek are in the article, and the ruling.

One of my favourite jokes for pedants.

What's blue, hangs on the wall, and whistles?

Pedant: I don't know, what's blue, hangs on the wall, and whistles?

A herring.

Pedant: But a herring isn't blue.

So you paint blue.

Pedant: But a herring doesn't hang on the wall!

So you nail it to the wall.

Pedant: BUT A HERRING DOESN'T WHISTLE!!!

So a herring doesn't whistle. It's a joke!

Yes, thanks for jogging my memory. I would have just ignored you and let my comment stand but I got to get the dig in about being a pedant so I figured I owed it to you since you were technically right which any pedant will tell you is the best kind of right.

I always forget about the fucking pedants.

I've updated my statement.

Anber argued a potential jury pool could be prejudiced from “the animosity fomented by local politicians and the media; the formal position of the City of Ottawa; the civil (lawsuit);...

Or the thousands of people who were tortured, harassed, intimidated, threatened, put out of work, and forced to deal human shit all over the street and diesel fumes for weeks?

There is a 100% sure way to assure that you don't get an unfair trial for a crime that you committed. Don't commit the fucking crime

Do your crime in Ottawa, face trial in Ottawa.

This is the way.

He did the right thing, unlike that time that Pierre Polievre shook hands and took selfies with the well known white supremacist who later threatened to rape his wife.

Conservatives lie and cheat then change the rules to remove barriers to cheating. They have no shame.

We, black market edible producers, categorize our caramels by what they are used for. Our customers then name them. Our big ones right now are Nite Nites and Laffy Taffy. I call them sleepy caramels and party caramels. I ask how much people weigh and how experienced they are and tell them how much I weigh and how much I take then suggest a starting dose and tell them how adjust the dose until they find the right amount for them.

Putting your convenience before the health of other people's children is entitled and selfish. Public health ordered them to keep their children isolated until they had tested negative and remained symptom free for a few days. Instead they risked sickening or killing other people's children. That is never acceptable. I am sympathetic to their inconvenience but it's an entitled, selfish asshole move to risk the lives of other people's children for any reason.

I think they should be charged with violating a public health order and had my children been sickened because of their selfishness I would be suing them for every penny I could get out of them.

It is NEVER acceptable. EVER.

There is no circumstance where putting someone else's child's life at risk is acceptable. Period.

Ever.

You're an amoral, toxicly entitled assholes if you do.

The left believes in the rule of law and playing fair while the right is will organized and lies and cheats to win then changes the rules in their favour.

That is despite India having urged caution for its citizens planning to visit Canada, citing security risks.

Our agents might mistake you for a Sikh activist and murder you on Canadian soil.

How do people expect them to pay for food inspections when they are cutting provincial revenue by cutting taxes on the rich and giving loss of subsidies to the provinces dying primary industry to give the people of the province the illusion that everything is fine and that the gravy train will keep running.

Wait until you find out they're going to "invest" your withdrawn CPP pensions in the oil and gas industry. There's no easy you're going to lose everything when renewables take over in the next few years.

GRAVY TRAIN!

When the pilot ejected is guaranteed that the plane is a total loss. The ejection system triggers a number of things other that the ejection mechanism. All of the secure communication equipment erases itself to prevent it or is key material from falling into unauthorized hands. The plane doesn't squak its position so that it is harder for someone you don't want to have access to the plane to find it. Had the plane been lost in territory that the US doesn't control or that is controlled by an unfriendly country the US wants it to be hard for them to know that the jet is down and where it is so that the US has a better chance of getting there first. The probably can't be disabled to prevent an, "Oops, I forgot to turn it on" mistake in unfriendly territory and to reduce the risk of it not working.

You know what matters a lot more than balancing budgets? Defining public transit as a true public service and making sure the people who depend on it the most, those who have few other options to get to where they need to be, have transit available to them when they need it at a cost they can afford.

This is the problem. Public transit is seen as a service used by poor people. In Europe public transit is used by everyone because it is the best, fastest option to get to where you are going. When I travel to London I take the train from the airport to Victoria station them walk to my hotel. Everywhere else I go is by tube or by train. I have never rented a car and only hired a van when I had a group of people and a bunch of luggage to move a long distance.

If public transit worked (Ottawa LRT anyone?) and we stopped making traveling by car convenient, people would use public transit.

No.

Putting other people's children at risk will never be acceptable.

Period.
