Calgary Police Chief Katie McLellan responding to her cops killing a woman in crisis by ranting at length that the cops are the real victims here is some of the most despicable shit you'll ever hear.

Proof that PP ain’t too bright - he doesn’t comprehend the innocuous, straightforward comments Carney makes so he calls them “gibberish” when really PP just lacks the intelligence to understand them
Don’t worry if you have no idea what Carney said here. Neither does he.
He just set a new record for most gibberish in 3 minutes or less.
Global elites like Carney use big fake buzzwords to sound sophisticated and obscure that they are ripping off working people to enrich themselves.
As Orwell wrote: “A mass of Latin words falls upon the facts like soft snow, blurring the outlines and covering up all the details.”
Funny since Indigenous peoples are the first Canadians with Canadian identities, and their populations are younger, growing more rapidly with a higher birth rate than others. Black Canadians have been here longer than most Europeans. Old white racist Boomer men won’t be missed.
Come on out Toronto!

This was so incredible to receive at such a difficult time - thank you @MichaelleJeanF
Beautiful tribute to my father. Thank you so much to @MichaelleJeanF and the family at the Foundation. This means a lot to us to have his legacy recognized. He was a humble and quiet man but full of love, kindness, and strong principles.
This book was born at CMU! ❤️

A complete fraud, a shyster, a charlatan.
This grifter takes absolutely no responsibility for ANYTHING!
I’m saying it. If you agree with a word that comes out of this snake oil salesman’s mouth, you’re either as despicable as he is or you’re as thick as champ.
2016: Nigel Farage, "Let June 23rd go down in our history as our Independence Day"
2023: Nigel Farage, "Brexit itself is a failure.. Conservative party's fault.. I only promised we would be back in control and masters of our destiny.. Boris Johnson promised money to the NHS.. I promised ability to control our borders and govern our own country.. That we have.. Sadly the Conservatives have blown it.. Nobody more disappointed than me"
When you have Brexit just not the Brexit you wanted 🤷♂️
