Where specifically? Just curious.

Lethbridge is okayish (by Alberta standards) because of the university and college there.

I legit don't know.

We are what we call estranged, I just found a bunch of emails in my junk folder lol, he sent 5, one picture each, with tags like, " our view looking west,", and "no mortgage"...no other information.

It's quite possible my father thinks if he e-mails his location big brother will find him.

 

[Bleedsblue&white]

Well, I guess it's sad in the general sense, fact is he was a very bad father and I gave up fixing things decades ago, there is no change in him and now he's full qanon so that just sealed what was already closed.

Lol, one of the pics is literally tagged, "our new home somewhere in Southern Alberta"

Shitty.

Take comfort knowing he is in a hell hole.

My brother does the mystery location thing too. Love the self importance.

Yeah, think it's just always a bit sad (in the general sense like you said) when people fall prey to the Qanon brainwashing shit but sounds like distance might not be the worst thing in the world.

My dad was involved in Q anon back when it was still the letter F.

I understand the need to have an inquiry to make sure the government isn't abusing things. But It's kind of crazy that the hearings will probably last longer than the entire trucker convoy itself did. And I bet after it's all done and the government is fully cleared, they'll announce that it cost however many million of dollars to do the hearings, and I bet people are going to try to blame the government for that as well.

The RWNJ's are already hedging their bets and saying that the whole inquiry is rigged (because they expect the feds to be exonerated)

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

It could have been managed without the act but it wouldn't have been because provincial leaders were more than happy to let it fall on Trudeau and a significant number of cops were sympathetic to the cause.

Aren't the Cons (Bergen and Pee-Pee) on tape or something during the occupation basically strategizing to drag things out so that it would become Trudeau's problem?

Problem solved, muthafuckahs.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

the inquiry is very good and very necessary.

this is the precedent we want, no matter what the reason for invoking the act,

Trudeau should have just hired Dubas and Keefe to do an occupation post-mortem presser and talk about how much respect the protesters showed in the handshake line.

She resigned as NDP leader? I totally missed that. Lol

Trudeau handled this one correctly. If he gave in to these nut jobs, who came to Ottawa without a clear agenda, there would be an endless stream of crackpots from Alberta and Manitoba asking for meetings.

I would want the "bouncy castle" concession though..

Capitalist that I am

100%.

Under no circumstance should the PM of Canada have sat down for formal negotiations with a gaggle of grifters, conspiracy nuts, outright morons and fascist insurrectionists that were holding a major Canadian city hostage.

I also dibs the projection tvs, bbq pits, and hot tubs.

I look forward to the day when a major party leader or PM in Canada can actually be openly non-religious.

I’m pretty sure that still hasn’t happened yet, which is kinda nuts in 2022.

If you are Liberal, that wouldn't play well in rural Alberta or Manitoba.
It would cost you votes.

But not as many as it would cost you to run as a "Liberal".
