You get more time in jail for sea cucumbers than dragging a person to their death.
This country is such a fucking joke
And save you’re breathe about this guy being a chronic offender etc. poaching fish ain’t the same as murder, as heinous violent crime, etc. no matter how often you’ve done it.
Guy got more time than, the guy who beheaded buddy on the bus, the two students that drug the guy to death, violent sexual predators with a history of sexual violence, I don’t think I need to continue.
Does he get more time than the Lapu Lapu killer? I’d say it’s 50/50 at this point
At least Trudeau and Co backed the murder of 60,000 people prior to acknowledging they are a legitimate state and further hampering trade talks, well done.

A few days ago in Kelowna traffic, a dude wearing an ankle monitor walked by on the median in traffic by the mall and gestured at me with the big ass knife and was yelling at other cars... I even got a pic, but I'm moving and can't find my fucking cord to get the pic off my fucking phone!

Tariffs are going to hit us hard and this is wild...
Quote:
The internet collectively groaned at Trump's new order.
Dan Kelly, president and CEO of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, wrote on X, "The hike in US tariffs to 35% will harm small businesses on both sides of the border. The fentanyl rationale is even more ridiculous than the decision itself."
"The worst outcome for Canada is a bad deal. But the second worst outcome is ongoing uncertainty over Canada-US trade. This is what small business owners now face," Kelly said.
Scott Lincicome, vice president of general economics at the Cato Institute, simply reacted, "oof."
"Hard to pick just one, but I think the Iraq 35% is my personal favorite. Venezuela at a mere 15% is also particularly silly. And Switzerland at 39% is just wild," Lincicome wrote in a separate post.
Joey Politano, author of the "Apricitas Economics" newsletter, wrote on X: "Here's what Trump's new tariff hikes look like—another 5% on major allies like the EU, Japan, & South Korea. Another 10% on large trading partners like India, Vietnam, & Canada. Some rather insane choices like 39% tariffs on Switzerland, 41% on Syria, and of course 50% on Brazil."
Shane Wright, national economics correspondent for The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, noted on X that the tariffs were. deemed necessary as trade deficits are an "unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and economy."
"Yet for those countries the US runs a trade surplus with, get hit with a 10% tariff. It's simply a tax on US consumers," said Wright.
The Republicans against Trump account, meanwhile, mocked Trump over the tariffs. "Make inflation great again!"
