This is going to be unpopular among my usual crowd, but Charles Adler is first and foremost out for Charles Adler.
He was a big contributor to the fringe-right's hate and growing extremism thru the years, and while people can and do change, he's never actually made right on it.
He continues to get a pass.
Say what you will about Coren, but he went to great effort to own the terrible things he said and acknowledged the ways he hurt people.
Coren owned his past. Alder would prefer you just forget all about his and just praise his apparent epiphany.
Which, okay!
Give the guy some love. Good for him. But remember that the pockets of hate in Canada were established with his help.
Remember this Adler classic? If not, well... this is one of his tamer takes.
You get the idea.
Anyway, I just think it's important that people remember how the modern fringe in Canada came to be, and who had a hand in fuelling it.
Last point, but for the record that column he shared is the one where Ezra viciously lied at length about Soros, accusing him of being a Nazi collaborator, etc.
Adler chose to promote that insanity.
A few more points, since Adler's trying to dismiss any/all talk of things he used to say and do. He had a way of making Obama's middle name sound extra sinister, and yes he dabbled in Birtherism too.
Also, the "Norway attack" was Anders Breivik. #cdnpoli
Half the population in Gaza—one million, at least—are children.
This sweeping act of indiscriminate retribution violates international law, is morally indefensible, and punishes innocent civilians—men, women, the elderly, and children alike—for Hamas’ terrorism.
The bloodthirsty celebrations of this ill-conceived act of collective punishment/revenge are as depraved as the celebrations or justifications of Hamas’ sadistic terrorist operation against Israelis.
In both cases, civilians are the ones made to suffer most.
Civilians have become nothing but collateral damage to those in power.
Hi @PierrePoilievre, might not go over well w the Save Canada scene you threw a bone to yesterday with your belated supportive comment on their anti-LGBT marches/rallies couched in "parental rights," but here they are again in their true form.
Worthy of condemnation, no? #cdnpoli
@PierrePoilievre If you're going to continually play footsie with the fringe, Conservatives, eventually the feigned shock — shock! — at stuff like this is going to wear thin.
Or keep doing stuff like this—the anti-Zelenskyy scene is rife with rabid conspiracy-mongering about (((globalists)))—then lashing out when called on it.
To those who boast of rising poll numbers: Yes, we know societal well-being isn't your priority.
Quite a few of those who fashion themselves warriors against "groomers" and sexual predation are fanboying over Tucker Carlson and Andrew Tate, and Musk's amplification of them.
If you are naïve enough to believe that those who hype this interview, or continue to stan any of those involved, are sincerely concerned about sex trafficking, opposed to sexual exploitation, or invested in combating sex crimes, there's a seat reserved for you on Epstein's jet.
The doc is an ideological effort that could be mistaken for a typically shallow and dishonest Tucker Carlson production.
The work from precisely who you'd expect: "Someone who propagates and monetizes misinformation, cultural grievance and social media mob mentality." #cdnpoli https://t.co/juZixvfOhI
Ben Perrin, former advisor to Stephen Harper, calls out @PierrePoilievre's shamelessly dishonest and inflammatory effort to discredit evidence-based substance-use policy, particularly RX opioid treatment for managing and overcoming addiction. #cdnpoli https://t.co/QdJu8S5dkl
