    The last time they gave a Nazi a standing ovation, Chrystia Freeland aggressively pushed back against any calls to investigate how many Nazis Canada had harbored, and worked to thoroughly bury the story. And this wasn’t even her first Nazi scandal.

    If the government tries to stop people from investigating Nazis (including your “left” party), it’s infested with Nazis.

      That’s not true. These types of investigations basically hand over tons of political power to your opponent. Anything discovered can be implied to be the government’s fault, and if little is found then it’s the government wasting money.

      We don’t have the required refinement in the media and the political engagement of the average citizen to effectively use these kinds of investigations.

      Leveraging this type of investigation is part of how Stephen Harper best Paul Martin.

    Time for Canadians to wake up to the fact that their politicians are all trained seals answering to Washington?

    People will later say they didn’t know what was happening. They didn’t know any better. No, they were only minding their own business.

    Was it everyone? Do we have any information on whether there were any sensible people refusing to take part in this?

    The moment poilievre made his return the racism immediately ramped up. He starated with the immigration right away, the next week we had racists in Toronto protesting against “immigration” we know they mean non white people since the entire crowd was whiter than a January morning.

    And Alberta is now putting citizenship status on drivers licenses to make it easier for their hick cops to profile people.

    It’s just interesting because they don’t honor the three children killed in the school shooting the same day. So clearly they’re not speaking out against gun violence or uttering victims of gun violence. Otherwise they’d honor them too. So I can only conclude by doing this they are explicitly endorsing Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric. Everyone that stood up and clapped agrees with Charlie Kirk 100%. That’s the only conclusion

      I don’t think this information is accurate. As far as I can tell, two children were shot (wounded) and the shooter committed suicide.

      Still a way, way larger tragedy than a racist dying, though.

    I recommend taking this opportunity for thoroughly internalizing the knowledge that the vast and overwhelming majority of people in government, no matter what color they wear, truly do not care about you in the slightest. Go listen to some George Carlin, he can explain.
