I really like this bit from the TV show Pantheon - kinda sorta talking about A1:
"Unfortunately,
I and the others like me
cannot be trusted with this power.
We are not ghosts.
We are not aliens.
We are not machines.
We are not gods.
We are you."

So can we anticipate the Toronto Police Association will be demanding ‘jail not bail’ for their numerous members now accused of drug trafficking and conspiracy to commit murder?
And will we now see the 🍁gun cult and the Conservative Party continue to cite that police union as experts on law reform?

I am so grateful for this team. Every week our caucus fights doctors, nurses, teachers, and everyday Albertans. We stand up to disabled & LGBTQ+ people because of our "values" and intolerance while always putting ourselves first.
