Behold the privatization of the public space of parks. Where are the camps for "needy" children described by @JohnTory? The lies are so audacious they're beyond comprehension. https://twitter.com/RR416/status/1418265688230273025

This is an incredibly deranged framing from Tory.
The encampment defenders were trying to prevent the police from offering people housing???

So ... they don't get to vote on equalization or senator appointments on October 18th

RT @CanadianPolling
Albertans get to vote on equalization, daylight savings and senator appointments on October 18th.
It should be noted that senator appointments are not enforceable nor can equalization be unilaterally changed by one province.
DST is fair game though.

How dare BLM, a US organization, demand that the US government stop actively harming Cubans in their name instead of mouthing outraged pieties at the Cuban government 😡

Linguist folks: I've come to find that other linguists find syntax peer-reviews to be particularly brutal and/or unreasonable.
Do you share this impression?
