There has never been a case where a person claimed to be a sovereign citizen and it went their way. Not even once. It makes one wonder why they even bother. How can a person be so utterly wrong about how things work and still manage to function.

I have been following this since he ALLEGEDLY kidnapped a child in Sparwood. It seemed to me like the community just made everything up to convict this person.

As a person who has used pretty much daily since 1966 and who knows many others who have done the same it has not been my experience that people are having ANY healthy issues due to the use of cannabis.

Every year we lose someone but we have not been blaming cannabis for people dying in their 80s.
“The failure of two of the three pumps poses an existing or imminent threat to people and property as it impacts the availability of water for drinking and firefighting,” the declaration says.
As a person who used to run a water system for a small municipality I can assure you that the operators of this water system have likely been begging for years for funds to improve and maintain the system.

There are a few people in my family that are married with good jobs and own their own homes and they are not having children. They are focusing on other things. I am proud of them as I am proud of those in my family who have chosen to have children. This does not need to be one more point of division. It is OK to have kids and it is OK to not have kids.
