The government cannot manage to keep to a budget, prevent secrets from being leaked, craft sensible laws, collect the taxes owed to it, enforce its own regulations to prevent train derailment disasters, or do a multitude of any other things without seriously cocking it all up most of the time. I refuse to believe they are capable of organizing false flag shootings to further a legislative agenda.

It's more likely they merely politicize and highlight ones that occur for the same purposes.

Canada, too. Anecdotally, I knew a guy from my reserve unit caught TWICE. Once, sexually touching his friend's 9 year old daughter,then later, while awaiting trial, answered a bogus ad for an underage hooker (it was a police sting).

He did time, appealed and lost. He claimed PTSD from serving in Afghanistan, but he wasn't even there with the military, he went as a civilian airport security guard, watching CCTV cameras for 9 months, never ever had a bullet fired towards him.

Having been married to a South Asian woman and we both worked at s place with lots of First Nations colleagues, I assure you most don't care, and they often use the term amongst themselves.

It comes from a joke.

"OH, you're Indian? Feather (meaning First Nations) or dot?" (meaning South Asian, as in a bindhi forehead mark).

That said, I don't see a problem with the name Feather Alert. The Eagle Feather is almost universally seen as important in nearly every North American First Nations community/culture.

It seems like a very respectful way to denote the importance of addressing missing FN women, especially given the bill was introduced by a FN person.

I had .. umm... dealings involving a Canadian who owned a winery in the US, but tried to pretend he didn't for... reasons.

In about half an hours work I found copies of the county land tax record with his winery's acreage, tax assessment, and name of the corporation; found the state corporation record showing the transfer from the previous owner to his company, signed by him; and found the state alcohol tax authority licence showing the class of licence issued, location of winery, and name of his company with his name as the contact.

It's amazing what's online, publicly available for free. And then there's what's online and available for just a small fee.

Ah, the tolerant left.

Looks nice. I can't afford beef anymore.
