It's fine and good to listen to protestors, but we shouldn't be negotiating with them, it's ridiculous.  The law is the law, enforce the law.

if you want an actual insurrection, then take down the blockades by force.

Maybe that's what it will take. Right now there are 40 ships waiting to unload in Vancouver harbour that can't because of the rail blockade, some of them with perishable cargoes. That can't go on.

Ryan is in serious but non life-threatening condition.   :o  Encouraging, I would say.  I can sleep now.

When was young my racing heros were people like Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart, Bruce McLaren etc. Losing a driver or two every year was pretty normal.  Now it is rare but maybe that makes it even more traumatic when a driver is killed or seriously hurt.

Haven't seen it yet. Did the movie say that Ken Miles was killed testing a car shortly after. Bandini was killed a year later at Monaco and McLaren was killed testing one of his own cars in 1970.

Jackie Stewart was quoted as saying 27 drivers were killed during his career, and average of one every three months.

That should be a hint as to what a dumb "sport" it is.

Much safer now. Since Senna’s death in 94 there has only been one driver fatality in F1, although there was one in  a F2 support race at the Belgian Gran Prix last year which shook everyone severely because they are so rare.  A much more dangerous sport is cross country in equestrian eventing.

No, those were on topic... if experimental.  Kind of like when you take your dog for a walk (on topic) and you talk to him during that walk (off topic) to find out what he's thinking.

Mission accomplished...

 ;D I did naziThatComing! So... a "mission accomplished" thread derail is just fine if off-topic comments are simply searching for the thoughts of others! You've certainly come a long way from your days as a gestapoModeratingChazPuppet... at the other place!

waldo recap: today, weakAndy continued his pining for a violent end to the Mohawk/Wet'suet'en protests... continued to press for PM Trudeau to direct police intervention. Scheer extended beyond his earlier comments where he told Indigenous protesters/allies to “check their privilege”... now today, outright calling them, "radical activists aimed at the destruction of the Canadian energy industry". For good measure, mmmKay labeled them "thugs"! Just the required collective CPC measured tone needed!  ;D

why it seems PM Trudeau (and other oppoLeaders Singh, May & Blanchet) went so far as to 'eject a protestor' from today's related ad-hoc meeting of party leaders convened by PM Trudeau!

Quote from: Liberal Party leader - PM Trudeau
Mr. Scheer disqualified himself from constructive discussions with his unacceptable speech earlier today
Quote from: Green Party leader - Elizabeth May
Mr. Scheer was excluded because the speech he gave following the PM's statement was viewed as disqualifying him from participation in a discussion on how to find solutions.
Quote from: NDP Party leader - Jagmeet Singh
Scheer's speech on the blockades this morning was reprehensible. What he said was divisive. It was purposely designed to pit some groups against another - and to me it needs to be denounced. What he is suggesting is not a way forward

as a topper, self-labeled "True Blue" O'Toole was just livid that Scheer wasn't at the meeting... sending off this twitter zinger:
