And the Rest of It

Canada needs a First Amendment: 

The Ontario mom who was ordered to remove an anti-Trudeau flag from her own home is now being supported by a prominent legal-rights charity.

The Canadian Constitution Foundation (CCF) announced its support for the Port Colborne resident in a press release on Thursday. The CCF will help her appeal the city’s order.

Melissa, a working mother, says she displayed the flag out of frustration with the results of the Sept. 21 federal election.

The “*” in “F*CK TRUDEAU” is represented by a maple leaf.

People called the city to complain about the flag, and two weeks ago she received a notice ordering her to remove it.  

CCF lawyer and spokesperson Christine Van Geyn defends flying the “F*CK TRUDEAU” flag as a fundamental freedom.

“Like every citizen of Canada, Melissa has a Charter-protected right to express her political views. She is flying a flag on her own property, expressing a political sentiment that frankly is not even that uncommon. If her flag bothers some people at Port Colborne city hall, I suggest they drive down a different street instead of trying to tell Melissa what she can and cannot say.”

 

Indeed.

F--- Trudeau.

Let it be shouted from the mountaintops. 

 

 

The poll was likely done in Toronto where rats and garbage cans are a more interesting sight than this: 

 

It's unlikely that the driver who involved in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash will be deported:

A decision on whether a former truck driver who caused the deadly Humboldt Broncos bus crash should be deported to India likely won't be coming until the new year.

People tend to do that when you run over children:

Darrell Brooks Jr., 39, told Fox News Digital reporters from his jail cell from Waukesha County Jail he feels “dehumanized.” “I just feel like I’m being monster – demonized,” Brooks told reporters, according to Fox News.

 

A small violin weeps with him. 

Even brain-dead people are smarter than Sotomayor:

In response to Stewart’s assertion that babies recoil from surgical instruments at as young as 15 weeks, Sotomayor argued that braindead people, who are considered officially dead in most states, can still sometimes respond to stimuli such as being touched on the feet.

“I don’t think that a response by a fetus necessarily proves there’s a sensation of pain or that there’s consciousness,” she said.

Fetal pain is possible at as early as 12 weeks, according to Dr. Stuart Derbyshire, a prominent neurologist who was a leading voice against the possibility of pre-viability fetal pain before changing his position in light of scientific advancements.

 

 

Lower British Columbia is wrecked:

When it comes to the highway conditions, Transportation Minister Rob Fleming said Highway 7 between Mission and Abbotsford will no longer be for essential travel only as of Monday afternoon.

Highway 11 opened to single-lane alternating traffic in both directions between Mission and Abbotsford.

Highway 3 is “holding up well,” Fleming added, but there are still a lot of crashes on that route, which is causing backups.

Work on the Coquihalla Highway (Highway 5) continues “around the clock,” he said, adding that he remains optimistic that as long as there are “typical seasonal conditions” on the highway, they still hope the road can reopen to commercial traffic at the end of January.

Highway 1 through the Fraser Canyon is still closed. Crews are installing a temporary detour at Tank Hill, and work continues at Jackass Mountain, where a landslide swept away a section of highway. Fleming said he hopes temporary repairs can be in place by mid-January.

Highway 8 between Merritt and Spences Bridge is still closed with no timeline for reopening.

 

Does anyone know this good boy?:

The BC SPCA is hoping to reunite a large, friendly dog, found partially submerged in the flooded Fraser Valley, with his owners.

The lost canine was found on the morning of Nov. 28, wandering flooded fields on Boundary Road in the Sumas Prairie.

“The water was quite high where he was,” said Vancouver SPCA branch manager Jodi Dunlop. “He wasn’t swimming, but it was well up past his stomach.”
