When will they ever say thank you?

Trump and Co don't even think about feeding soldiers, let alone poor children.

There is this sort of main character syndrome where they're shocked that other countries respond to things like tariffs, or might pursue opportunities that don't include them.

For the same reason the whole title is in quotes: American literacy is very poor.

In my case the scrutineers were volunteers from the political parties and didn't have to stay if they didn't want to, but I was a deputy returning officer and I couldn't leave until the count of ballots matched the number of ballots I had given out to people.

All of this talk about election fraud is just power hungry psychopaths inventing reasons they lost. Large scale cheating with paper ballots is much harder than digital systems.

One difference I've seen between out elections is we have more polling stations. It's unusual for people to wait longer than 15 minutes to vote.

We always have results that evening. Polls close at eight pm and results are finalized by midnight.

Yes cause so much harder to modify a paper ballot, especially the mailed ones

Correct. It is. Because to do enough to change the result you need to do it alot, and that's really hard to get away with.

In Canada we count the ballots with witnesses (called scutineers) to validate.

I'm a daily user for years and I've never heard of this. I wonder if it has to do with the way they're consuming it. Shady vapes from the internet could be causing trouble, not the thc itself.

Burning down the Whitehouse is a point of pride for Canadians.

Agreed. Stop subsidizing it. This will obviously hurt the farmers in the area but hey, free market. Insurance isn't a charity.

It probably would. Just wear your most tacti-cool gear and join a group. You'd need several people on board to make a difference though.

Those assholes don't show name or insignia. Show them the problem with that.

I've heard of places organizing many small protests, like a few hundred people, in many nearby neighborhoods. It forces the police to spread out too much to be effective.
