Does anyone have reliable sources for how we can support refugee evacuations on the ground? I'm Canadian, I know our government has pledged to take 20,000 refugees but it's so difficult to get people OUT right now. I am praying daily for protection over the children and women.

The old jihadist conundrum, do you kill the smart woman you hate or put them to work making bombs you’re going to blow yourselves up with?

They are a team in FRC, and as an FRC alumni I will gladly help to start a robot army if this story progresses to the bad act two.

The RCMP have a much less...savoury history. Especially if you're a minority...particularly certain minorities in certain areas.
