In case you're wondering, yes there are still "wait and see" Carney apologists in comments. Nothing is going to wake them up until after it's too late.

The rent on the Halifax townhouse Iâm sharing for the summer has increased 53% in 3 years. Itâs changed (renter) hands twice in that time, so that increase was legal. But⌠53 percent in 3 years? People. Thatâs a scam. Thatâs a scam to drain money from ordinary people and enrich the wealthy.

Part 5: The Geography of a False Confession - Halifax Examiner
This is a false confession. The RCMP concocted a fantastical story, but one so convoluted and with so many internal contradictions that it is impossible.

I encourage people to send even a short email to the Premier's office. I know that it probably won't result in any immediate action, but the greater numbers of emails sent to the office demonstrates that he doesn't have strong support for his public statement.
