Solid link, that. I’ve been watching this story grow. Canadaland… your thoughts?

An indiscriminate attack on an unsuspecting population using planted explosives and does not differentiate between civilians and enemy combatants isn’t a “terrorist attack.”

What is it then? A “police action”? “Self-defense”?

From AP

A booby trap is defined as “any device designed or adapted to kill or injure, and which functions unexpectedly when a person disturbs or approaches an apparently harmless object,” according to Article 7 of a 1996 adaptation of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons, which Israel has adopted.

The protocol prohibits booby traps “or other devices in the form of apparently harmless portable objects which are specifically designed and constructed to contain explosive material.”

Now, as far as a legal distinction, the jury is still out. But, morally, this is indefensible to the point of being state-sanctioned terrorism.

1000 Days. 19 November 2024.

Was that the kettling incident? G20 in Toronto. The only time I’ve seen a police car set on fire in Canada. And the first use of tear gas in the City of Toronto.

Allegedly, “black bloc” troublemakers, started the property destruction. Whether this was done with tacit approval by police is an open question. Needless to say, police responses to protests on the days of the sunmit were found to be lacking.

Oh, btw, still, fuck John Baird and definitely fuck Tony Clement. My introduction to fuckery in Canada’s politics came from watching these two refuse to answer questions in Parliament for months. The one person I saw trying to hold these two Harper cabinet ministers to account was good ol’ Charlie Angus.

That said, fuckery is now status quo and Charlie Angus has said he’ll not seek re-election.

Legit question. Wasn’t that episode 1?

e. Indeed, it was, and Newsweek was talking about last New Year’s.

Supporting statements are needed here. At least 5 each for Alberta, Saskatchewan, and, importantly, New Brunswick.

Then, at least 1 official statement from each Premier, dated later than 2018.

Minimum 25 sources. Joint statements can count twice.

In Korean, “Hahaha” sounds more like “kh- kh- kh-”, represented by, “ㅋㅋㅋ”

Wait, maybe the justices just gave Biden the authority to do just that.

…

Naw. See, if he did, that’d delegitimize the presidency and cause a constitutional crisis.

But, if a Republican President does it, it’s an exercise in upholding American freedom and the true authority of the office. See the difference?

If it’s alive and not a plant, not a fungus, and not a single-celled organism, it is probably an animal.

Now imagining surgery while pulling multiple g forces… yeah, that’d difficult.

Cellular respiration, the Krebs cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, citric acid cycle, glycolysis… I miss having these processes in my head. I was such a biology nerd once.
