  • I’m pretty sure that was part of the point.

    Legally, the murder was wrong. Full stop. There’s no legal argument here that it wasn’t. It may not have been the guy they caught, but someone was murdered and legally that’s wrong.

    Morally though, it’s a lot more gray. It’s pretty easy to prove that health insurers policies have literally been killing people thousands of people a year at at a minimum and even if it’s legal for some reason, that’s also still morally wrong. Attacking someone who’s attacking other people is usually called defending.







  • I think he’s referring to international citizens using the Canadian-US border to illegally enter, rather than Canadians themselves.

    I’ve heard (through the news mind you) that there is some number of Indian nationals flying to Canada ostensibly for tourism because it’s easier for them to get a visa for that in Canada and then walking across the border.

    As for the drug use, there is definitely a massive problem going on here, the drug overdose mortality rate in British Columbia was 45.7 per 100k, which is about 50% higher than California (but still lower than a dozen “bad” states)

    We just don’t have quite as much violence associated with the drug trade, but there’s plenty of addicts and overdoses.
