*by Noah* *Sunday Thoughts:* It doesn't get any more sacrilegious than the Devil steamrolling a crowd of peaceful protesters in a fit of state sanctioned violence just so he could walk to a historic church, stand outside, and wave a bible in our faces. Think of what kind of mind will order mounted police to use their horses to push through that crowd of peaceful protesters, including clergy, and have teargas and rubber bullets used on them as well, just so he can stand in front of a church while holding a bible as a prop for a photo-op that his party now applauds.

Before Canadians get all virtuous about their virtue, they might want to look at their own history of racism. The early French settlers of Canada kidnapped native peoples to be slaves.

In Montreal, a Black woman slave who annoyed her owner was tied to horses who tore her death. Her body lies under a busy street in Montreal, unkown to most Montrealers. The English settlers followed the French example well into the nineteenth century... more »

Anything found not to be in perfect compliance must be altered or abolished — even playing cards. Nearly half a $million has been pledged to support this nauseating idiocy on Indiegogo.
