Strawberry Hill neighbourhood incident with RCMP officer and Punjabi men.

Hi guys. What do you think about this incident? This is getting out of control in my opinion. Police officers should have more power and cannot be treated this way. Whoever comes to Canada should abide and comply with our laws. It is unacceptable that group of people will try to stop lone officer. Of course now they will call this officer racist and bully but he was very calm and professional. We get more and more similar incidents in BC. We all deserve to feel safe going anywhere in our province. I think they should deport all of them. Id you do not like to live in Canada just go home! Sorry guys I needed to vent it out cause I am so pissed off. Police officers have to be untouchable. Our penal system is too forgiving. We need to change it.

Good day and share your thoughts.

Best

Putin announced military operation in Ukraine

We have war. Russian forces are attacking Ukraine's military infrastructure. We need to stop this nonsense. We have 21st century. I think Putin lost his mind. He is willing to kill people and destroy the whole nation in name of what?

“President Putin has chosen a premeditated war that will bring a catastrophic loss of life and human suffering,” Biden said in a statement. He says also:

"Russia alone is responsible for the death and destruction this attack will bring, and the United States and its Allies and partners will respond in a united and decisive way. The world will hold Russia accountable."

I hope that all western countries will stay united in this war and stop Putin before he does something worse.

Let's support Ukraine together.

Ukraine - Russia crisis. Is Russia planning to invade Ukraine?

CrispR — Thu, 20 Jan 2022 02:28:06 +0000

What do you think about this conflict? They say there are more then 100.000 Russian soldiers at Ukrainian border. It is unbelievable. Do you think the risk of war is real or this is just Russia posturing to get their demands met? I have been wondering if our government will support Ukraine in this conflict. Life is crazy. Take care and stay safe.

High inflation in Canada. We need to stop it.

VenomJ — Wed, 19 Jan 2022 19:33:07 +0000

Have you heard the news. We hit 4.8% inflation which has been the highest number from 30 years. It is crazy. They did not include gas prices. Inflation would be much higher with this. Everyone says that this is global problem directly connected with pandemic. It is easy to say but low-income families will have to bear the consequences. I am not specialist but I think that our government should start thinking about actions that will stop the inflation. What do you think about it?
