Armed men and women bullying children.
"To protect and serve"
You want a transparent system? Look at the gold example of numerous third world countries.
Voting is done in person with valid government issued ID, then to vote you dip your finger in ink that doesn't go away for like a week, and you fingerprint your choice on the ballot.
Kind of hard to commit fraud like that eh?
But no SD cards and computers are so modern that must be so much better right?
Lets face it, the reason for running elections through these dominion style systems is inherently to commit fraud.
Otherwise there is no need to move on from the simple third world method.
Expansion of mail in voting in canada will be for the sole purpose of rigging the elections to never let conservatives win again, the same as is going on in the states.
Right which is why he was talking about expanding mail in voting here after fraud was being willfully ignored left right and center in the USA.
He wants to steal the next election, because he sees the libs down south getting away with it
For fucks sakes the only reason I came here was to get away from all the reddit auto mod bad language shit.
If the same crap is going to happen here then win is dead before it starts.
Fuck, this just pissed me off so much I might just be fucking done with win already.
You don't have a wife, you are cohabitating with someone that hates you, does not respect or value you.
good luck with the divorce rape and child support.
Right, which is why I have no problem with them killing each other, less to import.
Sure it isn't enough to stop the tide, but, better than nothing right?
I can't believe they are admitting to straight up injecting people with polio virus and calling it a "vaccine".
By my observation that is biological assault, intentionally infecting people.
Isn't that against the Geneva conventions?
Like how they cleverly avoid explaining their bullshit opinion by having the kid leap back and go "oh no, that's what you said when I asked about babies!" then cue the laughtrack.
Gotham going to be 24/7 riots and peaceful protests now.
Even if it isn't fake, Communists and Muslims fighting each other? Why should I give a fuck?

A new book by Canadian scholars warns about politicians and bureaucrats making decisions out of fear and panic and implementing <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/t-covid-19">COVID-19</a> policies that are disproportionate to the problem.</p>
<p>“The chief emotion associated with a moral panic is fear. In terms of the COVID-19 pandemic, fear has fuelled many disproportionate reactions, especially in regard the medical responses to the pandemic,” says the book, titled “COVID-19: The Politics of a Pandemic Moral Panic.” It is authored by political scientists Dr. Barry Cooper and Dr. Macro Navarro-Génie, both senior fellows with think tank Frontier Centre for Public Policy.</p> <p>“The focus of any analysis of moral panic is whether an issue is distorted and exaggerated in such a way as to produce an obvious over-reaction on the part of social and political authorities. … Instead of promoting their ability to keep their citizens safe, governments (especially in Canada) tried to scare them and were successful, at least in the short term.”</p> <p>Navarro-Génie, also president of the Haultain Research Institute, said in an interview that the main purpose of writing the book was to show that “it’s the reaction to the virus that is producing these policies that are harming people.” <strong><br /> </strong></p> <p>“We’ve been making decisions [based] on fear and on a certain form of panic,” he said.</p> <figure id="attachment_3607747" style="width: 600px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://img.theepochtimes.com/assets/uploads/2020/12/07/CP2110-487-40-1200x712.jpg"><img class="lazy size-medium wp-image-3607747" src="https://www.theepochtimes.com/assets/themes/eet/images/white.png" data-src="https://img.theepochtimes.com/assets/uploads/2020/12/07/CP2110-487-40-600x356.jpg" alt="Epoch Times Photo" width="600" height="356" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><noscript><img class="size-medium wp-image-3607747" src="https://img.theepochtimes.com/assets/uploads/2020/12/07/CP2110-487-40-600x356.jpg" alt="Epoch Times Photo" width="600" height="356" /></noscript></a> Empty shelves are seen at a Superstore grocery in Richmond, B.C., as a result of panic-buying amid concerns about the spread of COVID-19, on March 17, 2020. (Darryl Dyck/The Canadian Press)</figcaption></figure> <p>The book notes how inaccurate modelling early in the pandemic contributed to the sense of panic. In mid-March, professor Neil Ferguson of Imperial College London released a report that predicted tens of millions of deaths worldwide based on his epidemiological model. According to the authors, Ottawa heeded such flawed advice, leading to policies such as large-scale lockdowns that were not warranted.</p> <p>But Ferguson’s model has since been found to be greatly flawed, according to the Montreal Economic Institute and others. Navarro-Génie and Cooper cite research by data scientist/computational epidemiologist Chris von Csefalvay, who found numerous problems with Ferguson’s modelling, including that it was 13 years old and was written to model an influenza pandemic.</p> <p>The authors add that some have even benefited from the sense of panic.</p> <p>“There are people who have benefited from this, not necessarily monetarily but in terms of power,” Cooper, a professor of political science at the University of Calgary, said in an interview.</p> <figure id="attachment_3605283" style="width: 300px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://img.theepochtimes.com/assets/uploads/2020/12/04/2017A-Chairmans-ojh4jqk4frejb1611588r3akxmtxzeee7op2ohbkqg.jpg"><img class="lazy size-full wp-image-3605283" src="https://www.theepochtimes.com/assets/themes/eet/images/white.png" data-src="https://img.theepochtimes.com/assets/uploads/2020/12/04/2017A-Chairmans-ojh4jqk4frejb1611588r3akxmtxzeee7op2ohbkqg.jpg" alt="Epoch Times Photo" width="300" height="300" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><noscript><img class="size-full wp-image-3605283" src="https://img.theepochtimes.com/assets/uploads/2020/12/04/2017A-Chairmans-ojh4jqk4frejb1611588r3akxmtxzeee7op2ohbkqg.jpg" alt="Epoch Times Photo" width="300" height="300" /></noscript></a> Dr. Marco Navarro-Génie, senior fellow with the Frontier Centre for Public Policy and the president of Haultain Research Institute. (Courtesy of Haultain Research Institute)</figcaption></figure> <p>Cooper and Navarro-Génie say “political actors” and “moral entrepreneurs” saw the opportunity to use the pandemic as a means to expand and consolidate their power.</p> <p>“A year ago, they were completely anonymous bureaucrats. … Now everybody knows who they are and if you don’t think that these actual individuals find that exhilarating, you have to be remarkably naive with respect to human nature. Of course they enjoy the notoriety, and they enjoy the ability to make decisions for the rest of us,” says Cooper, noting the book’s reference to “power-knowledge,” a term coined by French historian and philosopher Michel Foucault.</p> <p>Navarro-Génie argues that governments should make decisions based on “rational arguments, on thoughtful consideration, and on well-considered justifications, [because if] we base policies for an entire country … on the basis of fear and panic, then the whole edifice of public policy kind of falls apart.”</p> <p>The book notes some of the harms caused by lockdowns, and Navarro- Génie expands on that in a related blog, listing resulting problems such as bankrupt businesses, loss of jobs, and mounting debt, as well as spikes in suicides, drug overdoses, family breakdowns, domestic violence, and child abuse.</p> <p>“We know that locking people down produce[s] an enormous amount of consequences that are harmful to public health,” he says. “Not just to the economy and not just the businesses, but to people’s health, people’s mental health and people’s physical health.”</p> <figure id="attachment_3605280" style="width: 233px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://img.theepochtimes.com/assets/uploads/2020/12/04/BARRY-COOPER-ojhl91v8iak2inq3s2eauco5lf144rkpjwxcyxqw8o.jpg"><img class="lazy wp-image-3605280" src="https://www.theepochtimes.com/assets/themes/eet/images/white.png" data-src="https://img.theepochtimes.com/assets/uploads/2020/12/04/BARRY-COOPER-ojhl91v8iak2inq3s2eauco5lf144rkpjwxcyxqw8o.jpg" alt="Epoch Times Photo" width="233" height="233" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><noscript><img class=" wp-image-3605280" src="https://img.theepochtimes.com/assets/uploads/2020/12/04/BARRY-COOPER-ojhl91v8iak2inq3s2eauco5lf144rkpjwxcyxqw8o.jpg" alt="Epoch Times Photo" width="233" height="233" /></noscript></a> Dr. Barry Cooper, a political science professor at the University of Calgary and senior fellow with the Frontier Centre for Public Policy.

Every single time this shit is brought up all I think is, "Communists and Muslims killing each other? Where's the popcorn!?"
CIVICUS Monitor counted several “positive changes” brought about by protest movements: “In Chile, mass protests forced the government to hold a referendum to change the constitution. In the USA, some states pledged to dismantle or undertake structural reform of their police forces following Black Lives Matter protests.
I have to take this organizations talk with a pound of salt if they think blm riots forcing the dismantling of police forces is an "improvement"
These officers citing the charter are pretty empty headed.
Did you know that before pierre turdeau gave us the charter we had a Bill of Rights? it still exists, but mostly for judges and politicians to laugh at.
One thing it guaranteed was the right for citizens to enjoy the property they own.
The charter does not include this.
If they keep bitching about the charter, the libs will just toss it out and replace it with a more restrictive document.
Just like they did with the bill of rights.
