He wasn't asking me. Edit: but to answer your question, it would be unwise to make such a premature generalization. Supreme courts aren't perfect, their judgements are not stamped with divine authority (maybe in Iran?). I often disagree with the rulings of the SCC, just as many Democrats often...

Can it go to the Supreme Court? If so, I don't expect this would happen. It seems like a novel interpretation to consider a personal hush money payment like a campaign contribution. Guess I'll have to read the decision to understand how they got to that conclusion.

I have once been told that it was best not to interact with witnesses at all to prevent contaminating their testimony.

Shot, chaser? "Interesting times", as they say.

Agreed. Ultimately I don't think he can be held responsible for Jan 6th, but the classified docs saga is much more damning than any other case in my mind.

That seems like a creative application of the law. I think a reasonable person would conclude that a hush money payment is not a campaign expense, and that filing it as such would probably result in fraud charges. Kind of a catch-22 no? Do we know if there's any precedent on this or was it a...

So what was the actual crime? Can't find a source that's really specific.

Ahhh uhhhh Orange is the new black hm

For greater clarity, my frustration wasn't directed at you but the subject matter.

For Christ's sake... We've been over this. Canada was shit, and our ancestors did it. Israel was shit and they did it. Where there's a will there's a way. There's no magic dirt that makes Palestine poor and Israel rich.

And therein lies the problem with foreign aid. Screws the local economy like nothing else.

I wholeheartedly support this initiative.

QV denounced the discourse which purports that the CAF has erected systems facilitating racism or HISB. The fact that the CAF sees fewer such incidents than the society it draws its members from absolutely is, in fact, evidence that no such systems exist. If people are doing good and you keep...

... It's all starting to make sense. Canada's twist on mustache man's triadic slogan: "Unserious people, unserious country, unserious leader."

And the circus carries on.

Palestinians sealed their own fate with Black September.

I'd do my job. Doesn't mean I don't understand it. And they too will understand why I must do my job. Civil disobedience has a cost. To be courageous in the absence of danger is not to be courageous at all. Same applies to disobedience. It also doesn't mean that you'll find me on internet...

Unlike you, I think I understand that humans are not robots. Ever heard of the Mainguy report? Think the preceding soft mutinies should never have occurred? That troops should just accept nonsensical mistreatment? Sometimes, the road to progress is bumpy. Sometimes, the government needs to...

Dimsum, you made a comment about civilian control of the military. What is the philosophical reasoning for that structure, to you? Is it because it's critically important for civilians to manage our restrooms? Or is it in fact to prevent domestic insurgencies, mutinies, coups? If the former, I...
