Zero surprise this guy is from Quebec. Almost all of my anti-woke sources within Libs/civil-service fall into 2 groups: quebecers & immigrants. They're the ones who'll save the Cdn left from Butts' snob circus (with some help from old school socialists) nationalpost.com/news/politics/…
One of the most beautiful political sights I've seen recently was the *Canadian* flags at a quebec anti mandate protest. (And I don't even agree with the protestors.) if you're one of trudeau's hatchet men and you see that, you're like "oh fck what have we done...."
The interesting place to be is inside @cafreeland's political brain. Existential choice. Faithful heir apparent ....or principled quasi dissident?
And if Im Conservative, 100% prefer to run elxn against sullen trudeau in full-on late-stage Harper paranoia mode than a fresh Freeland coming off bench to drain 3's & grab rebounds.. (okay this metaphor is so dumb. moving on)...once spent a day with her on campaign. Shes a force

You're starting to see this among teenagers. They're progressive, but they're not stupid, & they know when they're being lied to. They see their 30 yr old social justice teachers as relics, & they mock this crap whenever they can. This cult will end more quickly than ppl think
(And the ones who have the fewest fcks to give, by the way, usually aren't white.)
In fact I sometimes have to tell college students who DM me about politics that they need to cool it a little with the pushback, bcuz they're going to get in trouble for no good reason. (One snark thing that's become popular is kids get asked their pronouns & they say "nor/mal")
I guess my greatest worry here is that this apparent hoax will discredit the many journalists who tweeted it out credulously on Sunday night.... almost like they were inclined to believe this nonsense due to, gee I dunno, bias.
not only are these swastika loons incredibly scarce, but even the scattered swastikas pictured at protests all seem aimed at *impugning* Trudeau etc as Nazis. This is obviously a brain-dead protest tactic. But it's the opposite of pro-Nazi: Theyre using Nazi as a term of abuse...
It's actually common among euro protestors. who talk about "pass sanitaire" as "nazitaire." That's what that bumper sticker seems to indicate. Yes, dumb. But the guy isnt like "Hooray for Nazis" He's saying that vax passports are so bad that only *hated* Nazis would like them"...
and yet, over last 2 weeks, we've all been asked to pretend away these obvious facts in the service of social-justice mind-melt...even tho the signs are basically the visual equivalent of (equally stupid) tweets accusing trump of being nazi. they presuppose (rightly!) nazi=bad...
Can anyone provide me with some examples here (see below).... Protest movements on both sides always attract a few hard boiled haters. Out of the thousands of people who went to Ottawa, there must be at least one real example, no?
So the story here is that last night, there was a mass murder plot in an Ottawa apt building, with one of the would-be killers telling a passer-by (for no apparent reason) he was a protestor. But no one calls 911, & Ottawa arson's unit finds out about it on twitter a day later.
Also, am I missing the big stories that should have already appeared on the big media sites such as CBC Ottawa and Ottawa Citizen? Right now, I was expecting "Arson Plot Foiled" as the main story. Instead, it's a story about parking tickets being issues....
It's been four hours since this thread went up. I know it's sunday, but is there a reason the Ottawa Citizen site doesn't have a banner headline about the hundreds of lives that were saved from immolation by the bravery of anti-protest activists living in an apt building?
