Charles going off of the Abrahamic religions like a supremacist, "you owe your rights to us" yikes.

The damage on the water pipe is totally upstream from the Shaganappi pump station. Was the water being stored in the line rather than flowing through it .

Looking forward to the supreme court backing up hindu, muslim, and scientology groups getting their texts up in parks.

[@d.t.8465]

Don't forget the Satanist!

[@justinventela]

The Ten Commandments is Islamic text. Jewish Muslim and Christian have the Old Testament. The three religions are connected and are called the abrahamic faiths

[@Dee-JayW]

​​@@justinventelaPlus all the 100's of other religions! That I could support. 😂😂 Zorastorian and Buddhas would be lovely! We are a secular country! I would even support past mythical religions, who wouldn't love to see all the Greek and Roman gods in Marble?

[@justinventela]

@@Dee-JayW I don't know if you're being glib or not, Abraham is the father of the three main religions came from Zoroasterain faith. Most good luck charms or rituals (Superbowl XXX) are from the 100s of other faiths aka pegan. Jesus wasnt born on the 25th or had Yuletide logs mistle toe etc. Most religions have intersections with other religions and respect Idols or Relics of each other's faith. It's only atheists that seem to be offend and desire a purge from the public (as they go to yoga, lol a religous practice). But as immigration continues, atheists will have less of a voice. Atheism has peaked and now is falling, thank God lol whichever of which that you praise.

@@justinventela So I'm assuming then they are going to put htem in arabic and hebrew as well?

Have to make sure Greece does not follow the Dubai practice of slavery.

[@DavidBale-vn4op]

Don't they take two or three hours for lunch in Greece

[@Dee-JayW]

Absolutely NEVER. Religion is private and unless all the 100's of religions have monuments, NONE BELONG IN PUBLIC. Canada is a very secular country. STOP 🛑 THIS NONSENSE.

[@justinventela]

@@Dee-JayW as a historical precedence religion has never been private but always a public and within local communities. Usually wear the government lacked the church or Temple stepped in, look at the history of the majority of our hospitals. It's only been since the new age of the 70s that atheism has taken off and now thank God with immigration we are now importing spirituality back in to such large levels atheismism is losing ballot appeal.

God bless the people of Ukraine and President Zelensky.

😂😂 the proxy war has been lost a long time ago. Why would you sorry an illegal govt? That refused a peace deal? Wake up!

[@JonathanSicoli]

​@@Dee-JayWif your high school bully had a habit of "calling a truce" and then crushing your hand when you went to shake it, would you keep offering that hand? If Putin wants peace, maybe he should try being more honest.

[@Pilgrimofhope7]

The 10 commandments absolutely belong in the park. Agree with Mr Adler.

[@savedrotex]

Well said by Charles regarding the ten commandments

[@justinventela]

26:19 two times in as many months I'm fully in support of Chuck. I don't know if it's the dogs days of summer but your sounding like 90s Adler.

[@savedrotex]

I smell another liberal cover up with Randy's so called clearing by the ethics commissioner. Where is the other Randy?

[@RealTalkRJ]

WHO IS THE OTHER RANDY?! -rpj

[@savedrotex]

@@RealTalkRJ You should help us ask Minister Randy
