You don't win over bigots by offering them a light version. You just add credence to bigoted lies, exaggerations, and scapegoating while turning off voters who don't want that.

You absolutely should question if this 4-hour interrogation of an internationally renowned legal expert on his *95TH BIRTHDAY* was politically motivated and an abuse of power
If CBSA refuses to explain itself, it is betraying the public's trust and deserves no benefit of the doubt

I have one or two available spots in a (free) PWHL pool that I am organizing. It's an old-school box pool (i.e. no draft). It requires minimal effort and we have several (relative) newbies in our league.
