Sorry. Not Sorry.
[Attention, Justin. Everyone is cheating and if you can't figure out who the patsy is in this global poker game, it is you.]
Because you can’t afford to play by the rules in the world of cutthroat geopolitics where there’s a real risk that a neighboring country will invade, butcher, murder, conquer your land, bomb the hell out of you, attack you with sophisticated cyber warfare, or use chemical, biological, or atomic bombs.
When you face existential threat and the leader of a country has to protect citizens from an adversary that bypasses the rules or doesn't even consider them as applicable to them, only the weak-minded and clueless shout “foul play.”
There is one language spoken among nations: power and deterrence. If your enemies can't make you think twice about the consequences of attacking you or going after you, they smell weakness and will proceed. You can cry until Judgment Day that this should not be happening to you because you're a nice person and surely something must be done, but the only realistic action is to never allow this to occur in the first place.

It is pathetic when you have 5 running for mayor and 24 for city Councillor and you can't come up with 8 you would vote for for Councillor. I pass by if they are a civil servant or don't know the responsibility of the different levels of government. This is Red Deer. I have been waffling on Mayor but have finally made up my mind. Two former city Councillors are HELL NO's and hope to see their asses in rear view mirror.

Tamara Lich and Chris Barber got 12 months of house arrest today for “mischief.”
Not violence.
Not property damage.
Mischief.
Peaceful Canadians—criminalised for daring to speak out. The same justice system that drops charges for real crimes and lets violent offenders walk free spent three years trying to break two people who stood for freedom.
The Crown had outrageously demanded seven years in jail to make an example out of them.
Why?
To warn you.
To scare anyone who might ever peacefully defy the state again.
Even the judge admitted Chris Barber “came with the noblest of intent” and never called for violence.
But it didn’t matter. They needed bogeymen.
We remember all the others:
Maxime Bernier was handcuffed in Manitoba for speaking at a peaceful rally.
Mark Friesen was fined thousands for organizing gatherings.
Randy Hillier saw convoy charges stayed after years of harassment.
Todd Dube was ...
