In other news... Ian Runkle picked up a whole boatload of new subscribers/followers due to his coverage of the Debb-Heard trial.

A lot of them are Americans, and some of them are apparently Democrats. And I think they didn't know about Ian's position on a lot of things. This will be interesting to see what happens. How he responds, what happens to his viewership, etc.

Can someone report that Poly post for being misinformation?

Yep, I agree, and he's said as much. As I said, will be interesting to see what happens.

Honestly, I am worried if we lose him. He's an invaluable resource, and IMO, performing a service to Canadians. Not so much the gun stuff, but also just general criminal law. Most of us have no ability to decipher most of this before he came around.

I guess. Good luck with that though.

Just checked, I don't even see an option to report it for misinformation.
