    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.

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

    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.

    As a Canadian…yeah this doesn’t surprise me. I mean the House of Commons is just one big dog and pony show. nothing gets done during these sessions, it’s just political theatre to get sound bites on the CBC.

    I honestly don’t know any Canadian that actually watches these. It’s just a massive circle jerk only for the politicians sitting in that room.

      I don’t know any Canadian who watches criminal trials, either, but that’s not an argument that they don’t get things done. I’ve only watched one inquest in my entire life. I’ve watched dozens of baseball games (though not in the last 30 years). Doesn’t mean anything.

    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.

    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.

    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.
