First time I saw one, I was a kid riding shotgun in my uncle's pickup truck. We were driving pretty fast down this old logging road, on our way out to cut some firewood at an old clearcut site.

All of a sudden there was this big brown wall of fur right outside my window. I couldn't even tell what it was until my uncle gently slowed down to let it pass us. The thing's shoulder was just higher than the top of the truck, and it was running just as fast as us, when it came out of the bush and started running along beside us. Its antlers were almost as wide as the truck was.

We just kept slowing down to give him some space, and it just kept going at full speed until he disappeared around a bend. I didn't even have time to be scared...just in shock at how massive it was. It nearly broke my brain.

My uncle just said something like, "Holy shit, that was close! That would have destroyed my truck if we hit him."

Oh, man...you almost had me. I got at least two paragraphs in before I thought, "this can't be true...can it?" Checked the header...oh, thank God.

Did deporting her make the US safer?

PP: "I am nothing like Trump."

Also PP: runs on the exact same policies, word for word.

The Constitution does not support that school of thought. It is very clear, that the rights it affords are universal and apply to everyone in the country. It says nothing about being a citizen or not.

There are no "kinks in the system".

The idea is that the law is the law, no matter which court is making the ruling. If the president is in violation of the Constitution, then any judge has the authority to stop it.

They can appeal that decision if they choose to, but it's not like there are some judges that are allowed to determine what's legal, and others that aren't. If the order is illegal, it should be stopped as soon as possible...not weeks or months later, when the Supreme Court finally gets involved.

Every time I listen to Poilievre talk about "deregulating resource extraction"...all it reminds me of, is how back in the 80's, Conservatives in BC allowed the province to be strip mined and clear cut by US companies, who shipped all those resources south of the border for refinement...then sold it all back to us at a premium.

The government got their cut off the top, and didn't have to spend a dime...but Canada lost a ton of wealth, and not one long term job was produced.

It's short-sighted and wasteful policies like that, that basically ended the Conservative party in BC. Let's not repeat their mistakes on a National scale, please.

I'm pretty sure the 1st amendment nullifies this argument.

That's a lot of fingers to count. He must have had the entire staff of the White House holding up both hands.
