Moral of the story. If you find First Nations artifacts on your property, do not tell anyone and just throw it away. And before people start crying how that is destroying their cultural heritage, I don’t see First Nations stepping up to pick up one penny of the costs.

Having over a decade dealing with RCMP double speak, this is clearly not an apology. He only apologizes for “challenging the term ‘crisis’”. That is vastly different than actually stating the issue is a crisis which obviously he is still refusing to do.

These are still images of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis. When the officer draws his gun he is in front of the vehicle. However, if you look at his legs, he is no longer in front of the vehicle when he fires the first shot. Both shots were murder not self defence. Video everything, everywhere.

Talk about pretending to do something and do absolutely nothing in the process. They’ve already annexed the country and seized its oil. There is no reason for further attacks.

This is a good example of how the media uses loaded words to subconsciously manipulate your emotions. It would be unusual for a prisoner not to be handcuffed during a transfer, and who has ever heard of unarmed police in the US? But the obvious is used to persuade you that you should dislike him

Ugh! A rat burrowed through the gravel and got into my greenhouse. It ate 3/4 of my protea seedlings as well as some banksia and Eugenia. Surprisingly it ignored the passionfruit vines full of fruit. It just went for the tender seedlings (roots and all) as well as eating all my slug bait.

This is one of my favorite dogs to pet sit for. When we met she wasn’t allowed to the dog park because she kept trying to break up dog fights. In less than 2 weeks i trained her to her shepherd instincts to patrol the perimeter of the dog park and only engage other dogs when I said it was ok
