@Jolly Okay, I assumed you were referring to farm exports into Upper and Lower Canada. Seemed a bit off, being that both colonies were more than self sustaining in agriculture. Farm exports to Britain and Ireland, yes of course.

@Mik said in US warns Ukraine invasion may be imminent. Ukraine disagrees.: Looks like brinksmanship, but it's hard to say. The opportunity for misperception here is huge. Seems to be a marked increase in artillery and mortar exchanges since the closing ceremonies of the Olympics. Provocations? Possibly.

I am guessing “one short of assiNINE.”

I refer you back to the article.

Elsewhere Tamara Lich, one of the convoy organizers, appeared for a bail hearing in an Ottawa courtroom before Ontario Court Justice Julie Bourgeois. No publication ban was requested in the proceeding. Lich faces a charge of counselling to commit mischief. She promised to give up her advocacy of the protest and return to Alberta, leaving Ottawa by vehicle. She told the judge she doesn’t have the required vaccine passport to travel by commercial air and her bank accounts are now frozen. She pledged a $5,000 bond, saying that was all she could afford, while her husband, Wayne, promised the same amount. Under cross examination, Wayne Lich told the court that he flew to Ottawa on a private jet to meet his wife in early February. The $5,000 bill was paid for by a man he hardly knew. He also questioned whether the Emergencies Act was invoked unlawfully by the current Liberal government, saying that people’s right to protest in Canada “was part of our first amendments.” Bourgeois interjected: “First amendment? What’s that?” Lich said he didn’t follow politics, and just wanted to make sure his wife was safe. The judge reserved her bail decision on Lich. She will return to jail until a court appearance on Tuesday morning.. https://www.thestar.com/politics/2022/02/19/massive-police-action-continuing-in-ottawa-to-end-occupation.html

@Mik said in No helmets in Seattle: Is it conceivable that black and homeless are most often cited because they most often break that law? The article says that blacks are 4X more likely to be cited.

It is when they're children.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Saturday Night Snarky Caption Contest - BoJo Edition: I'm a complete cunt. You know things have really gone out of control when @Doctor-Phibes doesn't use the word "twat."

An Apache pilot once told me it was like balancing on a bowling ball. Same thing, I guess...

Both the cat and dog enjoy the piano at the house.

Doubtful that the Emergencies Act will be needed, let alone to ferret out and arrest who is behind this criminal act. For one, it took place in an isolated area and on Indian land. Secondly, the local RCMP there likely have a good idea who was behind it. While it is possible that some pale faces from out of town were among the perpetrators, it is more than certain that it was spearheaded by local aboriginals already well known to the police. BTW, Ian Runkle is a well known criminal defence lawyer who practices here where I live. He is often on local TV commenting on various newsworthy trials and topics.
