The world isn’t a fair place. The rule of law doesn’t apply globally. Might is often right. This reality overarches Canada’s accusation that the Indian government orchestrated the murder/assassination of Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar as he left his temple in Surrey.

BC isn’t helping old people with COVID-19. Seems like eugenics. Can you imagine the scandal if this happened 2 years ago? We do “this” because we will NOT go gentle into that good night. We will not participate in social abandonment. We will not hurt other people for our own
