    1. This case is an excellent example of how our criminal justice system is corrupted by the double standard in how it treats people alleged to have harmed cops & cops alleged to have harmed people. Any objective person who followed this story knew ...

    "She called on Canadian politicians to keep private any talk of retaliation." It would help if she would shut up and stop undermining our national strategy. Is she an agent for Trump? #abpoli #cdnpoli

    “I don’t think they’ve (B.C. and Manitoba) done the analysis we’ve done,” Smith said. Likely true. Because hers is nonsense. #abpoli
