trauth - Re: Avoid Edmonton Canada at all cost-Too True - You Could Be Next Corpse!! More!
- also...another problem in Edmonton is; this is a city that leads
inflation in the country.Consumers in Edmonton are being gauged.
And also the establishment running Edmonton often cover up the
mistakes made by their police department.It ranges from racist to
killing innocent citizens to being rude to citizens.The list is
extensive.
