    1. @Rishi Arora How are you going to value from that knowledge. Don’t ask bitter questions. Have some decency.

    1. Who needs overpriced Disneyland when we have our very own house of horrors right here at home? Just walk around any major city in California; you’ll soon see what I mean.

  1. Old Justy should just show the new leaders his colorful socks and they will give the Country back without a shot being fired.

    1. @Fathom Let’s refer to “The Harm Principle.” Your rights don’t outweigh mine. Why do you feel that they do?

    2. @Adam Langton nobody is challenging your rights to stay inside, it’s highly hypocritical of you to mention how ones rights are not above another.
      You stay inside and I’ll go out and put food on my table. Problem solved right ?

  2. Oh did they use the same machines to vote as south of our border ….or did they do ballot harvesting ….or did they stop counting at a strategic moment ?

    1. @Julien Frenette lol, the “unhackable machines which weren’t connected to a network”
      Were hacked in 7 minutes during a senate hearing, from the internet ..with an iPad.
      They were able to completely alter the election with an iPad.

      You are living in an echo chamber.

  3. They’re so concerned about human rights in other countries, meanwhile they’re taking them away from citizens in their own country. Is this suppose to be a comedy skit?

  4. What about our human rights in Canada? Being fined, even arrested for exercising our democratic rights! Normally coverage of another nations Human Rights violation is okay, however not currently given the current regime in Canada. Where is your coverage of many Canadians in Canada being fined, arrested, charged, even having their property stolen by the government because they were exercising their human right to make a living, own a business, voice their opinion and even their opposition to current illegal actions by the governments in Canada!
