I'm not Canadian, but I think this is satire, not real news. The beaverton is a onion like site, correct?

[–] streetfestival@lemmy.ca 40 points 1 month ago

Yes. Beaverton is the Canadian version of the Onion

I hope they throw the book at these assholes than one in French too.

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca -3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think there's something like 3 books written in French. Which one you mean?

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world -3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The heaviest one no one can read French anyways.

[–] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A) The heaviest no one can read; French anyways.

Throw the heaviest illegible book, but continue to open-mouth kiss?

B)The heaviest no. one can read; French anyways.

Throw the heaviest legible volume in a set, but continue to open-mouth kiss?

C) The heaviest. No one can read, French anyways.

Throw the heaviest book in existence, and open-mouth kiss despite rampant illiteracy?

Cormac McCarthy disapproves of those ugly useless marks.

4 guys wanted to start a militia and take some land by force.

all in their mid twenties to early thirties

half of them in the military.

thats the story.

[–] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The story is made up, pointing to government agencies and police forces focusing on the wrong things.

The Beaverton is a satire website.

[–] Alloi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

indeed the beaverton is a satire website. however the story is real, and this is a "riff" on the real story.

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

You know it's satire because it would could not be the RCMP, it would be the OQLF.

Yes, let’s keep dividing the country and attacking Quebec, the province who massively voted to not go full retard with the conservatives.

[–] villasv@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'm with you aspirationally but this is just a beaverton benign joke on language purists, nothing to be so angry about
