i'm laughing my ASS off over here. some brilliant mo-fo decided to start stealing bilboards and selling the scrap metal, ha ha! with the price of metal these days, not to mention the amount of eye pollution all over the goddamn place, it's a worthwhile pursuit. i want to say "ooh, stealing, so bad!" but all i can think is "Right ON!!"
fuking funny man. jam that culture good.

I would love to Canada to join the EU, in principle. I would like the EU to let in Turkey too.

I nearly had a heart-attack reading the Globe and Mail this morning. When did the Globe become such a cheap propaganda tool? Since when are the supposedly private ramblings of teenagers to be used as blanket statement on every Muslim who wears a veil in this supposedly free country?

What really angers me is that our own fucking Prime Minister has at one time stated that he hates this country. Most young people don't vote because they believe it is an inherently flawed system. Attribute these ideas to young Muslim women and all of a sudden is a huge explosive issue.

Yes, some of what was allegedly posted by these women is very very upsetting and horrifying. But some of the comments on the article were just as upsetting and horrifying.

I love this country; and it breaks my heart to see all the racism come to light.

This whole thing stinks to high heaven. The publication ban right after the convenient government leaks to the media? our own officials declaring these people guilty before the trial began? this coinciding with prolonging Canada's involvement in the Middle East, and the 16 billion $ increase in military spending? Those charged and their wives are portrayed as perfect caricatures of what the West fears about Muslims. It is all too perfect, and too well timed.
