Little information is known at this time other than an in custody man is dead and the Mounties are being blamed.

Our concern is that the Members may being scapegoated by ignorant prosecutors. We've seen numerous cases in the past where bogus charges were filed against Members.

In a news release on Friday, police said the two officers have been arrested and charged with criminal negligence causing death, and failing to provide the necessaries of life. They've also been suspended from duty.

"It says Blackduck was arrested and put into a police vehicle, and then left there while the officers "were gathering more information on site."

When Ash and Young went back to the vehicle, Blackduck was found unresponsive. Attempts to revive him failed and he was pronounced dead at the scene."

Thank you for your tenacity vis-a-vis America and for maintaining the sanctions against Russia while America adds to the oppressor's bank account. Hopefully Trump has aided the Dems in the upcoming mid-terms. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-carney-condemns-us-russia-diesel-deal-even-as-he-applauds-trump-on/

"Women make up about 49 percent of the world’s population, but have only directed 7 percent of major films since 2007, according to the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative. “Which means the art that’s coming into the world is 93 percent from a male point of view?” Love & Basketball director Gina Prince-Bythewood pointedly asks. “It makes no sense. We’re half the population.”

"It really doesn’t make sense. There are countless talented women filmmakers who rarely get the opportunities or recognition that their male counterparts do. Despite the billion-dollar success of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie or Kathryn Bigelow and Chlöe Zhao’s Best Director Oscars, the industry remains stubbornly male-dominated (and predominantly white) as progress seems to move in slow motion."

ELLE sits down with Ava DuVernay, Gina Prince-Bythewood, and Beth de Araújo.

 Taxpayers have shored up the public service for years with questionable customer service.

The coup de grace for our family was this reply from CP, "It is not in the delivery person's job description to push a buzzer."

The above is in response to our questioning the time it took the employee to complete a form, open the community mail box and slip the form into our box.

In contrast to pushing the buzzer and my coming to the door.

All our deliveries are now by UPS, directly to our door allowing me to continue to work and not take time for a trip to the post office.

This is why I won't vote conservative. To do so is condoning racism n bigotry.
