Yes, he was quoting from religious trash, but the point remains, he did not:

declare religious values can and should frame how politicians act.

That is a very different argument and not something he actually said or did.

The article you posted made the very serious assertion that the PM:

declared religious values can and should frame how politicians act.

He never did any such thing.

In the 2 hour video you linked, he spoke for about 10 minutes between 50:00 - 60:00 into the video. In it, he merely gave thanks to certain values like generosity and kindness, made quotes that weren’t even really religiously-charged, if at all, and that was it; his speech was over.

So unless he said in French what your initial article asserts he did (because I don’t speak the language yet and there was no translator), then I’m going to have to say your initial article (and headline) is quite misleading.

It almost had me fooled too, if Omgpwnies hadn’t pointed out the discrepancy, which made me actually look into it further.

The PM has his faults, I don’t dispute that, but we shouldn’t be adding unnecessary visceral into the public discourse. This kind of division brought by misinformation is not what we need in this country right now.

Except that I did read the article you posted and it does make claims about the PM. I also did read the CBC article linked above and it contains precisely zero mention of Mark Carney whatsoever.

Also, this whole “omg ur pearl clutching” silliness doesn’t help at all, either.

So why post something that claims the PM did or say something that he never actually said or did? To spread misinformation, or?
