The racist, misogynist antisemite sack of shit,

But it was his father who refused to serve in WW2, who drove around Montreal on a motorcycle with a Nazi-style helmet.

And Chrystia Freeland’s grandfather actually was a Nazi — a fact she hid as long as she could:

Freeland knew her grandfather was editor of Nazi newspaper

With the exception of a few on here…critical thinking is lacking.  There is no doubt about that…

Liberals protect and defend their scum politicians as much as other party…

From Heather Cox Richardson's letter tonight:

"Today, the Washington Post ran a story by Claire Parker explaining that most Canadian truckers oppose the so-called “Freedom Convoy” protests. Almost all Canadian truckers are vaccinated and resent the protesters, whose shutdown of international borders has “had a very significant negative impact upon our professional driving community,” according to Stephen Laskowski, the president of the Canadian Trucking Alliance."

Hmm, time for some action up there.  Those other idiots have had plenty of time to get their message out.  With that small a minority jamming up the works, I would think the other guys would start planning a little jamming action of their own.

Coutts blockaders discussed blocking airport cargo terminals: private threat assessment

His firm’s threat assessment, obtained exclusively by Global News, found the Coutts blockade was spiritually motivated by far-right Christian ideology and was highly organized, with what appeared to be a leader — unidentified in the assessment — who delegated tasks, and directed its finances and security

LeMay said there were two distinct groups blocking the border at Coutts and further north along Highway 4 at Milk River, and very few of the protesters were truckers affected by the federal government’s cross-border vaccine mandate.

 At Coutts, there was a core group of about 30 to 35 people, and their families, including small children.

The security firm’s investigation concluded some protesters, particularly within the Coutts group, viewed the presence of children as a potential “shield” from law enforcement tactics but kept the children there despite the risk of harm should police move in.

 “There is an element of this protest by proxy where this relatively small group of Christian right-wing protesters are being used by people with maybe similar agendas to disrupt the supply chain,” LeMay said.

 Critically, the assessment concluded that the blockade, which began under the auspices of protesting COVID-19 public health measures, had become more concerned with “replacing our current democratic system of government with a government that is based upon the principles of the Christian right.

 “The rule of law would be replaced with the word of God, as interpreted through right-libertarian ideologies, specifically: civil liberties, natural law, and a major reversal of the modern welfare state,” it said.

That is interesting, Gilead is supposed to start in the US and have Canada oppose it.
