The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

I think part of the problem in this situation is that federal customs officers aren't really trained to deal with organized leftist protests; they're basically border agents who deal mostly with non-citizens. This individual appears to have engaged in actions that real police officers are trained not to do.
back to the rules of Sanctuary Cities barring cooperation with ICE
akin to sending the Black Watch on a humanitarian mission in Somalia
I know, don't get me wrong. Disrupting this unprecedented fraud investigation boggles the mind. Billions in public funds are being shipped back to tribal chiefs and Islamic warlords in Somalia, local elected officials probably having their palms greased, and it's been going on for years. A strange hill for leftists to choose to die on, to say the least.
I was talking about sloppy police procedure, like walking in front of the suspect's car.
Hughes, Tocchet, Miller, and Horvat are all a bunch of quitters

Do you have a legit source for that?
Nothing concrete yet. 9 billion is the upper estimate I have read.
Your link was a 404 error - and it seems the "9 billion" came from the feds. Seems like a REALLY high number -and I'm going to guess it's as made up as trump's tarrif revenue numbers. But I guess we'll see.

Right, I forgot Onikage closed the forum to lurkers. Too bad, that thread is chock full of information.
Anyway:
"So far, $1 billion in fraud has been confirmed by authorities, including $300 million tied to fake food handouts, $220 million involving bogus autism programs and $302 million tied to housing subsidies that never went to those in need, according to a breakdown by Fox News."

Hmmm...I thought there was some Scottish force that fought in the Middle East et cetera over the years called The Black Watch.
So yeah....whoosh apparently....
I think there is one of each Donny.

Such is the price of an epigrammatic posting style.
It reads like a reference to what wikipedia calls the Somalia Affair, but that was the Canadian Airborne Regiment, and I can't find any indication that they were ever called the Black Watch.
Canada's Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment of Canada), while having served valiantly in World Wars 1 & 2, has only been active as a reserve battalion since about 1970 and does not appear to have been deployed in Somalia. They did, however, receive Theatre Honours for Afghanistan.
Seems Trump is beginning to lose his grip on the republican party:
” In a remarkable rebuke of Republican leadership, the House passed legislation Thursday, 230-196, that would extend expired health care subsidies for those who get coverage through the Affordable Care Act as renegade GOP lawmakers joined essentially all Democrats in voting for the measure.”
I think there are a whole lot of traditional conservatives who are beginning to get fed up with his antics.
There’s also talk about passing legislation that would block him from pursuing Greenland.
‘the smaller Aegean islands’ means any islands in the Aegean Sea except the islands of Crete and Evia.
