I thought Canadians were nice.  Just goes to show you can't trust a stereotyped idea.

Yeah. The Rob Ford story shocked me when it came out.

Shouldn't Dudley Do Right have stopped him earlier or something?

Dudley Do Right was one of my favorite cartoon characters.  I remember going with my Mom to see the movie.  There were only 2 other people in the theatre.  We laughed so loud, long and hard that both of them turned around and looked at us as if to say, "You find this funny??????????"  Still one of my favorite comedies.
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

Who? Trudeau? He's got no pull with who reps the Conservatives in the province. The last premiere, Kathleen Wynne, was one of his people and she pissed off so many people there was no coming back from that but why the heck the province thought that another Ford brother was a good idea, is mind boggling. Like didn't we learn ANYTHING from the debacle that was the crack smokin Rob? Or Trump? Dougie really likes the orange Cheeto in charge.

MOST of O'Bombem's pardons were a partial attempt to correct a problem Congress just dealt with.
What's that problem? Most appeared to be drug related.

Yeah. Mandatory minimums on non-violent drug offenders.

Basically, the shit that Clinton caused.

Unlike most pardons, these were designed to address (slightly) a general problem,
rather than help out donors.
Wasn't even aware of this bill. Do you think it will pass?

It's traditional to capitalize names, and obviously.

Oh...the one in Congress? I assume so.

No. Not only has the country been on autopilot for a long time, the president gets anything he tries to enforce repealed. He’s a puppet and is not very aware of it.

You don't wanna eat no sammich that 'ee's gone and dug up for you. You don't know where it's been dug up, or rather OUT, from.

Or rather, you've probably a pretty fair idea if you make an educated guess. And it's not anywhere you want to eat a sammich from.

As for the mayor smoking crack...LOL.

Although that said, so fucking what, just so long as he isn't using ANY public funds  to do so, that he spends only his own money on it, and commits no acquisitive crime (by this, I mean, to obtain funds or goods to fence to procure funds or rock itself, not acquisition of the stone, which IMO isn't a real crime in the first place. Only crime is being caught and that oughtn't to be)

If he wants to do it with his own money, on his own time, then so be it, let him.

It's his behaviour  otherwise that matters.

No, it wasn't just that he smoked crack. He was a drunken, racist, wife abusing prick who fucked up a lot of things.

Fair does then, he needs someone's foot up the chocolate starfish. Sideways. Up to the bellybutton of the deliverer's leg.

Sounds like a right royal sucker of cocks. Although they'd probably have crucified him if he was an all but literal halo-and-wings-and-holy-flaming-sword archangel, if all he'd done was smoked rock, and hell, done it once, they'd have strung him up. Not that I'm advocating smoking crack in general. But it doesn't automatically make you a lying skeezy cheating thieving scumbag whore on the street. I've tried it myself and I'm none of those things.

Well unless the filth are involved, to them, I could, would, and will lie to christ on the cross and keep a straight face. But generally, I'm a man of my word, when dealing with actual PEOPLE.

(no, I don't smoke it as a matter of course, I've just tried it a few times over the course of a lifetime, maybe 5-6 times tops, but probably more along the likes of 4 maybe 5 times. Definitely four at least, not sure about five. Can't say as I find it particularly special, and certainly wouldn't consider blowing out loads of money on  it, even if I HAD shittons of money. And if I had shittons of crack, I'd just sell it instead, and keep back a few rocks for myself after selling 95% of it. I'd far prefer the money to the crack, thats for sure. I don't seem to recall ebay having an option saying 'pay for your lab supplies in crack cocaine' :P, a couple of eastern european contacts might take such an offer, not that I've asked them or am ever likely to, but ebay and most of my proper contacts wouldn't be too happy about being paid on stone haha.

Might be able to get through times of no crack by pawning glassware, but the reverse doesn't hold true, I shouldn't think. So no thanks :P I'm rather attached to my pretties....myyyyyyy pppreeeecciiiooouuuusss.....:tard:

Fucking DESPISE women abusers. Thats one of those relatively few things where my first instinct is to let my knuckles to all the talking.
