In a somewhat-related note, the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary would like to remind everyone that the Twitter hashtag #RNC refers to them.
We know there's a groundswell of intention that people plan going to move to Canada if Trump is elected President, but it's a bit too soon to be asking the police any questions about conditions here. Besides, there simply isn't enough infrastructure in Newfoundland and Labrador to support all of you - some of you will just have to live west or north of New England, not east.
Interesting part on the Melania Trump story

Quote:“The campaign needs to take some kind of corrective action,” agreed
Amanda Carpenter, a former top communications aide to Texas Sen. Ted
Cruz. “They could fire somebody, and they should do something, but Trump
is incapable of admitting any kind of error.”
"Whoever lifted the two paragraphs is almost entirely at fault,"
added Favreau. "I don't know how anyone else would've known. ... And
this makes it all the more bizarre that they're refusing to admit this
and just fire the person — unless it's someone who can't really be
fired."
Kalen Pruss, a former speechwriter for John Podesta at the Center for
American Progress, said the plagiarism incident was merely a symptom of
a bigger problem with the speech: It was oddly impersonal.
“I would say that more than anything, the mistake shows a lack of
creativity — especially given that Melania's speech was supposed to be a
personal recommendation of her husband,” she said, noting pointedly
that the speech was entirely bereft of humanizing anecdotes about Donald
Trump.
Which raises the question..who wrote the speech and who vetted it. I'm tempted to go with Melania's Trump earlier statement that she wrote all of it. Which raises all sorts of questions as to who vetted it and if they had a vetting process. Either way it's sloppy and shows not ready for prime time for the Trump organization.
