This plot is straight out of Saw Vi. Why couldn't the killer capture the CEO and force him to "Play a Game"? I need to know if the CEO would save an old smoker with a family or a loner with no pre-existing health conditions. The plot isn't complete until we find that out.
Although considering the death of the CEO in Saw VI I think Thompson's death was merciful.

Canada isn't a serious country. Hasn't been for a while.
Trump has a big China chip on his shoulder. We knew that going in, knew it from 2016.
China is obviously a big issue with the drug smuggling.
China is obviously a big issue in Canada with crime and all kinds of other ####.
Canada again isn't a serious country.
Maybe we should wake up.

The Joe rogan/far right/conspiracy crowd has been pushing the "canada is not a serious country" phrase around for a couple years now. Mostly in reference to us being too "woke". But the phrase has caught on with our own dummy citizens.

Also, and not a shot at you jayswin (I understand the context of your use) but “too ‘woke’”.
As far as I can really tell “woke” at its simplest is about equality and fairness of rights for all.
How can you have too much of that?

I've said it for years, but every decade or so right wingers appropriate a word to signify out-groups, and the word is typically synonymous with "treating people with respect"
Politically Correct, Social Justice Warrior, Woke, etc.
All existing words or terms co-opted and spun to the negative to virtue signal to other conservatives and mock having empathy and respect for other people.

It's been working so well for the last few decades.
It's the only thing that has ever worked.
Also, I don't see any kind of organized NVP movement of substance at all in the last few decades that I can think of, at least in the western world.
Hope Cliff and Torque were able to collect their dropped pearls, what with all of the indecent memes running wild today.
I have no idea what these memes are, and I’ll happily continue to avoid the kinds of places that post them. The internet is not a snapshot of society. It’s full of unhappy people being driven by algorithms to outrage and resentment.
Maybe you wouldn’t be so miserable if you spent less time online. Healthy, normal people IRL aren’t celebrating the murder of an insurance executive.

Occupy Wall Street would be the non-violent equivalent, no?
Anyways, United Health Care has the highest claim denial rate in the industry at 32%. That's a lot of people who have motive.
Describes you to a tee. So incredibly unself-aware.
I’m not on here applauding murder. Or making a dozen posts a week fuming about how idiotic the average person is. Or ceaselessly ranting about Danielle Smith, Justin Trudeau, or Donald Trump. Or claiming the U.S. is a failed state, or that society is on the verge of collapse. Or calling for revolution.
I believe 80 per cent of people are good, irrespective of who they vote for. I think the society we have today could use some work, but I wouldn’t want to be living in any other time. This is the best time and place to be alive by almost every measure, and I’m grateful for it. And when I step away from the keyboard and join my family, friends, and neighbours, I see other happy people.
But carry on with the dooming.

Not if you're trans, or a woman. We are close to the peak but we have started to slip. And I, for one, will not just stand by and let that happen without speaking up.
Congratulations on surrounding yourself with privileged people though! Maybe you should visit some queer spaces, women's shelters, private hospitals etc. and see how those that governments/insurance execs pick on are doing, before you proclaim that everything is peachy, and that we should all just get offline and smell the roses.
Ergo, therefore, as a result, we must stop complaining on message boards. In the end, who cares? This is the new America. As I said before, look after yourself and #### everyone else.

Tucker Carlson called Canada the USA's "r#####ed cousin" years and years ago.

Yeah but Cliff doesn’t care about trans people so that’s fine. I mean, there’s pretty much no other reason why he would put up such an fuss over people loling at a dead guy online but shrug his shoulders and tell trans folks and affiliated queer groups to get over it when people protest their existence.
Plus it’s easiest after 20 years arguing on an internet message board to project everyone else as miserable, alienated, terminally online misanthropes than ever confront reality or question why people don’t trust you with their real thoughts offline.

Nah, you just stand on that ivory tower of #### you've constructed and look down on anyone who has not attained the same level of privilege you have. Never seen anyone so unaware of their behaviors or the callous disregard they have for the regular people in society who struggle to get by. Empathy is short supply with you, unless it is for your cherished family and friends. News flash for you Cliff, that tower you've built ain't ivory and the smell is repulsive. Everyone sees it as a pile of #### and seems to understand it, but you.

I think Cliff said that he was an Indigenous Canadian, or at least part. Wouldn't exactly call them a privileged group.
Kinda odd to call a guy out for cherishing his family and friends lmao.

Did Healthy, "normal" people also bemoan (or at least feign indifference to) the deaths of Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin et al? I'm sorry that the world is unequivocally a better place with the loss of some people, but it is. This guy wasn't lining people up at gun point, but having many American friends over the decades describe their healthcare/insurance experiences to me, he's far closer to the aforementioned figures than he was to my UPS driver in terms of relativistic moral alignment. He will not be missed.
