In this case, a WhatsApp video call which was recorded would likely be libel.

It’s blurry now especially with digital communications. Traditional slander or libel is just defamation now.

I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.

Or is it slander. I can never remember.

Criminal libel.

I really hope the Vancouver press keeps on this. We need to know where he got the information from or if he just made it up. It’s not a small matter and shouldn’t be dropped for the next news tidbit.

What if…hear me out…we have it backwards? That the Epstein thing is a distraction from the American imperialism virulently engulfing the planet.

I see Canada lost the hockey game. I guess we should now move on to guerrilla warfare.

I am so furious that we have to fight this casino mess AGAIN.

Any city councillors thinking of voting for this casino expansion (a whole new casino's worth of predatory slots): it's election year now. You will regret it - a prediction and probably also a threat. #vanpoli

1. Many here seem bemused by the anger and disappointment this government attracts. Please bear with me while I try to explain it.
Let’s begin with Gaza. Starmer’s complicity is one of the major reasons so many people are disillusioned.

Vancouver's auditor general criticizes city over lack of paper trail for lost developer amenities | CBC News Vancouver’s auditor general said the city engaged in β€œserious wrongdoing” when they failed to track whether $6 million in promised community amenities for a much-publicized downtown tower ever happene...

Vancouver staff told council that if it rezoned land so a developer could build a big tower, the developer would spend $6 million on making the surrounding area nice.

The city’s auditor general found that didn’t happen, and that staff basically shrugged their shoulders about it.
