Yeah I don't think people really understand what we're up against here. These people view what is happening as success. This is the exactly what they want.

100 percent.. some even say so

That's a serious charge and I believe you.

 

Not to be offensive tho, that sounds like a Donald Trump statement. - "Some people say",  "I have been told" , "people tell me all the time". He constantly used those catch all phrases to support and give credence to his lies.

 

So, if you know for a fact (100%) then put it out there. Anyone supporting that agenda should be exposed by name.

No need to feel offensive, Mayor Helps references nameless constituents on the regular when she publishes her blog posts. Council refers to nameless groups as supporting or objecting to polices, too. Media does it even more, with no need to back anything up if they don’t want to and citations can be made to anonymous sources.

That's my point tho.

 

Don't be like the Donald or the Lisa.

 

Stand up and back up. Otherwise you are like them. Its all "smoke and mirrors" without naming names and "outing" them for their positions on matters both by name and by statment.

LOL!

 

I started it one time but it was like reading a Hillary Clinton book - several hours of self aggrandizing drivel

 

I will pass and go for a root canal instead. Much less painful.

I think people caught on to it when Trump was in office, but before him they voted for and re-elected politicians who were just like him, left, right or centrist. Before him politicians said and did what he said and did, and after him they continue to say and do what he said and did.

UPDATE | Cat Theft Suspect Cleared Of Any Involvement

 

May 6, 2021 - File#21-16685

 

Victoria, BC – Patrol officers have identified and located a woman previously believed to be a suspect in the theft of Penelope the cat last week. She is no longer considered to be a suspect and Penelope is not believed to have been stolen.

 

On Friday, April 30th, Patrol officers received a report that Penelope, a four-year-old black cat, was stolen from the area of Vancouver Street and Caledonia Avenue. Officers were provided with video footage of a woman taking a black cat, which appeared to be Penelope, and carrying her away in the 900-block of Caledonia Avenue. We circulated photographs of the woman on social media, who was believed to be the suspect in the incident at that time.

 

Officers have now identified and spoken with the woman captured on video with the cat. The woman did not steal Penelope. She was in fact taking her own black cat to the seek veterinary care in the area when she was captured on video.

 

Penelope is believed to be missing and not the victim of a theft.

how many unsolved murders do we have locally?

because I’m sure the families of those dead people are happy with investigative time being spent on a missing cat instead.

Bravo! (This was meant to relate to the judge not tolerating drug trafficking and saying that there needs to be a punishment attached to it).

Mounties seize drugs, guns, vehicles in simultaneous raids in Sooke, Saanich

Published Thursday, May 6, 2021

VICTORIA -- Mounties on Vancouver Island have seized several guns, vehicles and three ounces of cocaine following an investigation of two properties in Saanich and Sooke.

The searches of homes on Barrington Road in Saanich and Steeple Chase Road in Sooke were executed simultaneously on April 23 and included emergency response team members.

Police say $42,000 in cash was also seized, as well as hats and shirts with logos supporting the Hells Angels motorcycle gang.

The vehicles seized include two pickup trucks, one car and one Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

Investigators say eight long guns were taken from the properties, where they were unsafely stored.

No criminal charges have been laid and the police investigation into suspected drug trafficking is ongoing.

I’m not naming names. However, I’ve personally seen it on social media. I don’t really care if you believe me or not
