Politics, justice, current events, and the occasional rant from a retired guy who reads too much news.
What Is a 'Communist Politician' Doing in the USA? The U.S. Constitution protects free speech and association.

Outstanding work by Peel Regional Police — 17 arrests, 106 charges, taking down an international crew terrorizing South Asian families with shootings and extortion. All 17 are non-Canadian citizens. But instead of quick deportations, we’ll probably get years of immigration court delays, appeals, and taxpayer-funded stays.
