@renauda said in Xenon, the White Supremacist:
No, the morality doesn’t change. My support is for Parliamentary rule of law not the misguided actions of one of its members. So what if Trudeau took a knee at a BLM protest/demonstration in Ottawa? We did not experience the same level of violence here as in the US and BLM in this country is not nearly as radicalized as in the US. I would agree though Trudeau ought not to have been there at that event any more than Conservative Party Members of Parliament cheering on the so-called Freedom Convoy protesters ten days ago.
Nevertheless, just as some of protesters in the convoy have legitimate and reasonable claims so too do some BLM supporters as well as the many aboriginal groups in this country. It is only when these reasonable people’s cause is hijacked by militant and radical elements on either side of the political spectrum that problems arise and mob rule rears its ugly head. That’s what happened in the US and that is where this Freedom Convoy movement has been heading here in this country.
Disagree with if you wish, but what Trudeau said or did regarding BLM is of no consequence to what is occurring under his watch right now. As one pundit described it, so long as Trudeau is being blamed for the damage caused to Canada by the protest, by invoking the Emergency Act he is at least willing to absolve the municipalities and provinces from any ownership of the failure to deal with the protests and place it squarely on his own shoulders and the federal government.
Militant - combative and aggressive in support of a political or social cause, and typically favoring extreme, violent, or confrontational methods.
I'll give you confrontational, but I don't think peaceful protest is extreme and the protest in Ottawa has not been violent. You've already admitted the latter.
The truckers say the guns were planted...

Whether they were or not, I don't know, but A) I don't think they were known to exist by either the organizers or 99% of the people that are there, and B) Do you trust the Canadian government not to run a set-up job, considering some of the nefarious things they've already done.
Seems to me, Justin Castro has fucked this up from the word go, and then doubled down on stupid. Look, anybody with the brain of a microencephalitic jackass knows that vaccine mandates are unworkable and going the way of the Do-do bird. All Junior had to do, was meet with leadership, admit what everybody already knows, make some muttering noises about the primacy of provincial government and assure the protesters that he would use the power of the Canadian government to try to bring about change.
Instead, Brave Sir Robin ran at the first sign of a Peterbilt, which is strange, since it looks like that's the only peter he's ever run from.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Well, the truckers are wrong, the guns were not planted. The thirteen who were arrested were, as the saying goes, known to police. I’ll take the word of the RCMP on the issue who have now later charges of Conspiracy to Commit Murder on three or four of the thirteen arrested at the scene.
As to your last two paragraphs..,.you know, you’re probably right although I find it more than just a little bit amusing that you think you know so much about how this country is governed and what Canadians think about their government. I personally prefer to listen to the knowledgeable and objective criticism of Trudeau and his government from Yves Blanchett, leader of the Bloc Québécois and the cautionary advice of the federal NDP regarding the Emergency Act, rather than the uninformed opinions and frankly ignorant folksy epithets and musings of a right wing republocrat from outside the country.

Why do American conservatives suddenly dislike Trudeau so much? He's clearly a bit crap, but it has to be said there are a lot worse leaders to get your knickers in a twist over. I've heard more praise for Vladimir Putin, and that guy's a total cunt.
They do realise that Canada isn't actually part of 'Murrica, right?
Or maybe they've just given up tidying up their own room as an insurmountable task, and decided it would be much easier to complain about the mess in the neighbour's yard?

Don’t know and don’t care. It’s their problem if they can’t get their mind around the fact a PM is thought of differently by the electorate in a parliamentary system than is a president in a republic.

Probably because Putin hates and fears George Soros as much, if not more, than they. Besides that Putin is quite respectful towards a well known American real estate tycoon and one time politician, whose business empire attracts the good will and offshore investments of close friends and associates of the Russian President.
They do realise that Canada isn't actually part of 'Murrica, right?
I have my doubts.

The argument seems to be 'HOW DARE YOU DO THIS? LOOK AT ALL THE REALLY VIOLENT PROTESTS IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COUNTRY THAT WERE ALLOWED TO TAKE PLACE BY OUR SHIT GOVERNMENT!!!!'

I hope you’re not suggesting they might be envious. I figured it was because we are shutting down their funding schemes to the occupiers and assumed right to interfere in what us none of their business.

Right, and of all the tyrannical countries to complain about, Canada is right on top of the list!

Well - as you pointed out - I think what appealed to some people was a political kinship with the truckers. No one really gives a shit about Canadian politics. (Not even Canadians....)

As a Canadian/British dual-national living in the US, I must admit I find the politics of the north quite reassuring

I can understand people outside the country being disinterested, after all other than a few arcane international trade and investment policies what happens here politically is no consequence to others. But to include Canadians themselves among the disinterested is a quite an exaggeration.

I'm being cheeky, but I grew up in Canada and moved to the States a few years ago.
Political discussion in Canada are positively anodyne compared the U.S. In the years of Trump, I wouldn't be surprised if American politics got more front-page coverage in Canada than Canadian politics.

Stop and look how the Ottawa protest has been framed (and I do mean framed) in Canadian media. I often complain about the bias of American media. Nice to know our friends to the North are not one whit better.

Yeah - they're taking their cues from twitter and the same sort of thinkers as American journalists.
BLM was a big deal in Canada. The way the residential school controversy unfolded as followed an American-media type pattern.
Polities are starting to create some connective tissue across countries.

@renauda said in Xenon, the White Supremacist:
Roger that. I was aware that you are originally from here - the lower mainland if I’m not mistaken. Politics there is different from anywhere else in country.
Very different. I sometimes call it fake Canada for a few different reasons.

Since you posted that shitshow Tucker Carlson presented on the protests, I have made a point of checking daily what Fox News is posting about it on their website.
Hate to tell you but what Fox is posting bears little or no relation to what is actually happening here or how resentful the vast majority of Canadians are feeling towards these protests. In fact I would it put it to you that Fox is deliberately publishing outright lies with intent to sow disinformation and incite militancy. A lot of what it gets appears to come from Rebel News, a Canadian fake news site that caters to the lunatic fringe of the Canadian anglophone right wing - you know, the same vermin with the arms and ammo that were arrested Monday am at the Coutts border crossing.
So there you have it. Your sources are more shit than any of those I rely upon.
But I am certain that doesn’t come as surprise to just me alone on this forum. It should not to you either.

Eat your pablum like a good lad.
The same media sources you ballyhoo, have been instrumental in one of the most egregious and continued lies to the world. And believe it or not, FOX commentary got it right.
For many years, a goodly number of Russians believed Pravda. Didn't mean the paper was right.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.
