Any law that contains the word "morals" or "morality" in the title terrifies me. They 100% of the time are a net negative for society.

The only thing I can think of is that there was some sort of event where other people were being willingly set on fire. Like if were some sort of performance that went wrong, I could see there being a reasonable defense that the performer didn't know she didn't want to participate.

Does anyone make a 65"+ monitor though?

Definitely an option. Best guess is they put out a generic statement like this to short circuit any media questions about it, and to take some wind out of Poillievre's sails if he decides to go grandstanding about it.

How in the fuck is Canada in any way responsible for Trump's bullshit? Clean up your own mess.

Canada doesn't have the power (or really the responsibility) to deal with Trump. The Americans have to get their shit together and do that themselves. Antagonizing Trump is fine if it gains us something. In this case, it would gain us nothing, and likely cost us in the future. Doing self destructive things just for hollow "victories" that feel good is how Trump got into power in the first place. I have no interest in following that strategy.

What "truth"? Do you consider escalating political violence to be a good thing? That may be a valid opinion, but it's far from a verifiable truth. In the case of a leader of a country, whether or not it's a "truth" matters even less. Let's say Carney says exactly whatever it is you want him to say. Great. What does that gain the Canadian people? It will for sure antagonize Trump, so what's that cost? Do the gains outweigh the costs?

I'm not sure what the author was expecting Carney to say. The Prime Minister is not exactly likely to be cheering political violence of any sort, and he still has to deal with Trump after this news cycle moves on. "Violence bad, thoughts and prayers to the family" is about as close as he can come to "I really don't give a shit that that douche nozzle bit it".

It's not a war crime when you aren't fighting a war. This is a regular, old fashioned, normal crime.

It's probably just the result of someone suing after finding a piece of bone in their boneless wing.

Also, boneless wings tend to be made of cuts of breast meat, not the compressed meat slurry of nuggets. It's basically the only thing that separates the two.
