I know. It's shameful. It's the same old anti-government, anti-science, conspiracy-theorists. We had 'convoy-type' protesters in our city (nowhere near BC).
I'd love for a greater focus on catching criminals who are killing people. I can't believe that this guy is still on the loose despite RCMP and FBI searching for him. It's so difficult to catch some of the narcos.
