4/4 We wish healing for the injured and comfort for those who mourn.
The days ahead will be hard. The ripple effects of this tragedy will be profound.
But we will move forward as British Columbians and as Canadians. United and resolved.

In Ukraine, when a funeral procession with a fallen soldier goes by, everyone stops whatever they are doing to stand silently. Traffic stops. Public transportation stops. Conversation stops.
In Lviv, people take this tradition a step further. Most people the procession passes take a knee.

A large stuffed folder of files with the title βEpsteinβ is seen with what looks, at first glance, like a red page marker sticking out of the bottom. On closer inspection it is the bottom of a Trump red neck tie. French newspapers once again showing the kind of basic journalistic integrity lacking from most US national newspapers - whose collective negligence has helped ensure a man implicated in the worldβs most notorious sex trafficking ring gets to remain President. That the orange pedo felon remains in office is a plague on all their houses. Cunts, one and all.

Racist posts about the Obamas, ICE murdering citizens, confiscating Georgia ballots, federal takeover of elections, Greenland... all this shit is to distract from the Epstein files. Why on earth would Trump do that if there's nothing to them?
