Do them all. Let's not be singling anyone out or leaving anyone behind.

Maybe he could tell all the fascists, felons and murderers to stay home. Then again, he may yet be judged as one himself should his bills of supposed "progress" not be amended and pass through legislation. Perhaps he needs to make buddies in case too many Canadians catch on to his shenanigans.

They all want us dead. We live in extreme poverty through no fault of our own. Zero extended medical care in many places unless you need permanent care which means you pay out of pocket for medications, eye care and more. Even if you need extended care often you cannot afford it on the low amount of money you have allotted for that, or have to live in a less than ideal care home situation because it's cheap.

I am a disabled person who worked for 20+ years and had a very young family just prior to my sudden no fault disability. My income is less than half of extreme poverty for a single person in my area on federal disability payments. M Yet I have three children and I am married and I am expected to buy groceries, pay rent/mortgage and household bills, medication, clothing, kids activities maybe some kind of communication or entertainment if we are very lucky, with less than $12,000/year. If I manage to make some money from employment, I am limited to $6900/year or there is a possibility that my income will be cut off completely. If I volunteer more than 10 hours a week anywhere, I can also loose my disability payments. So no socializing either or feeling like you can fulfill some kind of role in society. If I do work or volunteer I must report my actions to the CPP board as if I were on parole. If I want to take a class or some other sort of "education for employment purposes" for my own benefit or to better myself, I also have to report in like a criminal and be judged wether I should retain my CPP payments. Perhaps I spend a good day in the garden puttering about but my nosey neighbor reports me. We grow a lot of food so we can feed our kids. We obviously have to. I could lose my CPP for doing laborious work regardless of the actual situation. No one cares.

This is also not taking into account that our extremely low income and medical care situation means our children also suffer unduly and then typically become problems for the system as well. If they do manage to get out, they are usually mired in debt to make it happen or have their own medical problems from a lack of medical care, lack of quality or quantities of food etc. as children.

There is not a politician or political party in the country advocating regularly for the disabled and their families. There is no one interested in helping us. The citizens of the country fall into this category as well. If massive volumes of people were suddenly thrust into our situation as many of us have been, they would literally revolt. Imagine having been born into your disability and dealing with this hatred and disdain your entire life. I can't even comprehend the hell those folks have to endure just to live.

Most people have no idea how fucked they would be if they slipped and fell or got some crazy kind of cancer that is so popular now. We disabled, are killing ourselves and publicly screaming on the national and international news at you. We tell you that we are doing it not because our lives are terrible and we can no longer manage but because we SIMPLY CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE!

WE CAN'T EAT.

WE CAN'T PAY OUR BILLS.

WE CAN'T AFFORD MEDICATION OR GLASSES FOR OUR KIDS.

WE HAVE NO VIABLE LIFE THOUGH WE ARE ALIVE.

All you see is a poor cripple in pain who must need to die no matter what we do or say. Our government as well. We martyr ourselves in the name of progress and it's a byline at the bottom of the news cycle you read and say "oh what a pity" then go watch tv or eat some chips.

So just like the phones we have in North America.

Fight the fascists. Protest anyway. Start with this bylaw.

This is all a part of organizing. Helping others. But you cannot organize if you do not show up. Either way you'll end up at the same place.

My kid has a friend named Piper. She's pretty cool actually for a 10 year old.

"but what are you doing, hero?"

The war cry of the complacent, docile and subservient American.

There shouldn't be borders.

See I agree whole heartedly with one of these and though it might be a fun little mystery I'll just state it up front. It's the Monty Python one.

I wanna see shin splint medals.

This is how you do it!

There's no where to get to him. I worked in k country during the last G7/G8 for a non profit in the area. He will chopper in and out guaranteed and all access to k country will be cut off. Good idea though. Just poke the fucking asshole.

Carney spoke out about state visits to the UK. Time to stand up now Mr prime minister.

Perhaps you just need to learn to use the knife properly. Knives also need a steel which should be used regularly. Blunting a knife on a crust shouldn't be a thing if you keep your blade sharp. That's the point.

Not properly. But a chef's knife can.
