It's the ultimate virtue signalling message. JT - "My ancestors, the founders of this nation, were horrible people. The very worst in history. I'm crying real tears of re-election, or uh, shame and anguish for the bad things that they did. They were way worse than simply bilking charities and committing ethics breaches on behalf of companies that are known to bribe politicians, or lying about getting water to indigenous people, or fighting veterans in court to deny them access to prosthetic limbs. Uhhhh, did that suck? Hey LaFlamme - cut that last part out and especially the part about re-election. Later chumps. I gotta go drink some expensive wine, courtesy of my fanbase. Peons. Voters. Whatever. You know what I mean." CTV's edit: Justin Trudeau was moved to tears yesterday and vowed to do whatever he can to make things right for indigenous people! "My ancestors, the founders of this nation, were horrible people. The very worst in history. I'm crying real tears of re-election, or uh, shame and anguish for the bad things that they did. They were way worse than simply bilking charities and committing ethics breaches on behalf of companies that are known to bribe politicians, or lying about getting water to indigenous people, or fighting veterans in court to deny them access to prosthetic limbs.

Trudeau doesn't give a damn about blaming Canada. He does it all the time. But if he deflects to the church he figures he doesn't have to do anything more to assuage the natives and his woke base.

If the adherents of Islam were predominantly white men the Left would hate it with every fiber of their beings.

Yay for your neighbour. I lived in a predominantly Muslim area and very few women OR girls were allowed outside - hijab or not. And we regularly saw one get cuffed across the head when she did, as she made her way to the car. If Islam is a misogynistic religion, as you say - then why portray it as being so rare? It's really not.

pretty sure he's not asking to be the only one when treated better by Commie Canada or asking that only Christians be treated better but you will grasp at any straw, especially a strawman, to demonize Christians while claiming others want Muslim families murdered for mere criticism if I said what you said about a Muslim you would accuse me of approving of the murder of Muslim families your hypocritical double standard is obvious for all to see when you criticize a Christian or Christianity, it's just reasonable criticism when someone you disagree with criticizes a Muslim or Islam, they somehow support Muslim families being murdered you clearly think it's perfectly acceptable to criticize Christianity but not Islam, and Christians but not Muslims and this response has nothing to do with the validity of the criticism being levied at either group, and just whether the critic agrees with your demonization of those who disagree with you on the subject of religion if they take issue with your demonizations of others, then they are hateful and evil if they openly agree with your demonizations of others, only then is their criticism of Islam or Muslims approved of by you

Thanks for posting it.

the group think is mostly on the left the right judges the individual on their own merit the woke judges the individual based on their group identity and thinks that merit is white supremacist patriarchal oppression attacking competence and elevating incompetence success is a sin that must be punished and lack of success is a virtue that must be rewarded equity of outcome supersedes equality of opportunity and they confuse the former with the latter opportunity must be taken away from the productive and given to the unproductive because any inequality of outcome is considered evidence of systemic oppression this is their orwellian definition of "equality" thinking for themselves is far too frightening, so they follow the herd

this is the real Canada, Canada exists only as a reaction against America take away America Derangement Syndrome and the entire purpose of Canada starts to unravel like a ball of yarn

Why can there never even be a slight slowing or pause in immigration? Even during recessions or pandemics? It’s like a religion to you people. You people have completely priced modt of the middle class from buying a home because of your insanity. But you people don’t ever give a shit. It’s maximum immigration, consequences be damned.

Because everything they do is political. The media has gotten the weak-minded into a frenzy over this and that happens to be their main base of support. Now they're all running around weeping and wringing their hands in anguish over events which happened before they were born, wallowing in assumed shame and guilt. So what do you expect the government to say? Grow up and move on? Not their style.

in the Canadian Army the food is the same, the officers don't eat any better than the men the food in the Canadian Army was the best Normandy Mess in Petawawa was like a restaurant you could take your family to eat at soft ice cream machines, steak & lobster night, even the salad bar was better than how most armies eat the mess in Trenton went one step further tho, they had a pizza bar and beer on tap in the eating mess

kind of the British wanted America to pay more for it's defense but then America was like, sure we'll pay, but we want more control over our own defense let us of the leash, no taxation without representation then Britain was like, on second thought, no guns for you, we got this then they try to take them and America wasn't having that boom, American Revolution gun grabbing was America's red line that Britain thought they could get away with crossing to stop a Revolution before it stated but instead resulted in a self fulfilling prophecy

The very notion that bureaucrats who have nothing to lose ever, and regardless whatever is done or not oops not to worry! advising people to "evolve or perish" is beyond logic or irony here. One can look for words to characterize it but almost certainly it illustrates just how huge, possibly irreversible the gap between the government and the reality of the society has grown. And with the public not showing much interest in these matters the outlook for the future in this century may not be that great.

when you have no culture of your own you fill the vacuum with multiculturalism to pretend to have an identity independent of other nations that's Canada for you fake country with an identity crisis trying to fill the void with vacuous slogans and symbols to erase it's real history which shows it to simply be a small part of a larger a whole not the independent nation it imagines itself to be wishful thinking is a helluva drug

When I see the way some on the left are posting here, are unable to grasp the analogy. Even if it's explained in three different ways. Could be wilful, or they really are that naive. Does not fill me with "hope", at all

For reference, the Golden Rule is "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." That's quite different from "Do what we tell you, or else you die."

The woke are tearing down statues of Sir John A MacDonald because he wanted to educate native kids - even though he never made attendance mandatory and never abused a child. They tore down a statue of Egerton Ryerson, who is largely responsible for setting up Canada's education system, because he came up with the idea of boarding schools for natives - even though they weren't actually built till after his death. And even though he actually was very progressive, learned to speak Objibwa, was formally adopted into a native tribe and had many native friends. Facts don't seem to matter to the righteous woke.

it's no surprise that Canada & New Zealand lead the Anglosphere is absurd leftist virtue preening the Kiwis are like the Canadians of the South Pacific New Zealanders have a similar inferiority complex and pathological priggishness like Canadians

Wondering if a 'Wokie Pride' parade would be appropriate at this time . . . . ? Followed by a politically correct carnival of 'virtue -signal'izers and other assorted freaks. Pinatas of Sir John A., Doug Ford, Stephen Harper, etc. . . . . . nothing quite as exciting as a blindfolded/blind 'Wokie' swinging a bat at every sound they perceive as a threat to their perfect thought process . . . . Cougar and dialamah as Parade Marshalls ?

I recall you raised a challenge to our resident Islam supporters, go ahead and report on good things about Islam then. Still waiting for those reports. I guess they'd rather point the finger at you. You are intensely disliked, lol

a badge of honor no doubt

The term 'woke' is not a right wing invention. It developed on the Left. And I don't see a lot of compassion among the Left. I see narcissistic virtue signaling and arrogant attempts at shaming others. Along with, of course, a paternalistic bigotry towards anyone not White.

at least she did not accuse anyone who is not in agreement with her of supporting the murder of Muslim families only Michael Hardner has stooped to that level

As for this apparent targeted attack...don't know a damn thing about it and do not subscribe to the collective guilt that all non-Muslims are supposed to feel now...on command I might add. Waving dead children under my nose and telling me I'm to blame somehow isn't gonna fly.

this is called cognitive dissonance demonizing the messenger to provide justification to ignore a message they don't want to think through is a telltale sign of that phenomenon

The muslim leaders who call out fatwas, which is a fancy word for targeted killing. Like Salman Rushdie for his book. Haven't seen that in any other religion. The ayatollahs are spiritual leaders for millions of muslims. They regularly call for execution and assassination of people who dare say a critical word. Not exactly from the good spirit, I tell you. That is the sum and final conclusion of Mohammedanism.

Dunno, Ramen places seem to be doing alright.

If you're not in agreement with dialamah, she's the judge that gets to convict you.

Does not Islam condone martyrdom? Yes it does. to be martyred in the name of allah is the highest level of a muslim

I don't hate Muslims. You said that. You're free to show me how I've got Islam all wrong by providing examples...not by calling me names. You're merely reinforcing my perception that you're not able to. So where in the Quran does it say love thy neighbor?

he was born in communist Poland and grew up there he knows exactly what it is like to live in a communist state and he is calling Canada out on being such a state he was arrested for disobeying a law restricting his religious freedoms on spurious grounds just as might have happened to him in communist Poland while you defend Canada for treating him in such a manner on whataboutism grounds that China is more oppressive so he should just suck it up do not project you're not having a clue what is like to live in a communist state on him

Former MP Carolyn Parrish....she gets it...voodoo attack on George W. Bush.

if the best thing Canada can say about itself is that it isn't America then there is nothing about it worth standing up for the only way it can feel good about itself is to play the whataboutism card it's only identity is not being America literally every other country that isn't America can say that yet this is how Canada chooses to define itself and base it's identity on you know it's a fake country when... being reactionary against the greatest nation in the history of the planet for the fail especially when combined with a priggish attitude that is totally unearned this is why Canada the silliest country on earth

LEAP manifesto, pride parades, rainbow flag, animal rights, etc....the list is long. I remember the good 'ole days when "quiet" Canada was happy to just being savaged around the world for clubbing baby seals to death (with a Norwegian style hakapik)...like Brigitte Bardot....times have changed !

One cannot stand up for Canada if it continuously means being "not American". There is something fundamentally missing if foreign (American) frameworks and narratives are so easily and repeatedly invoked to define the Canadian experience. Why does this happen so much in Canadian media and public/private discourse ? Will the real Canada ever stand up....for itself ?

dialamah mistakenly calls 'indifference' . . . . hate.

Actually it's not looking good for the western civilization for several reasons. Communist or authoritarian countries are forming an alliance with China-Russia. China is officially atheist. Secular humanism is spreading throughout western countries and the consequence of that will be more and more people believing the great lie that man is god and can create a utopia on earth. So people believe this and will give up their freedoms and rights in exchange for promises by government to take care of them from cradle to grave. Of course left wing politicians are already capitalizing on that line of thinking and promising utopia on earth. Left wing politicians like Trudeau and NDP leader Singh are more than willing to take away basic freedoms such as freedom of expression and other freedoms in exchange for promises to provide all the social programs you can imagine. We also see the move toward globalism with Trudeau's love for Communist China and what appears to be secret dealings between the virology lab in Winnipeg and one in Wuhan China. Plus the strange report of the PLA (People's Liberation Army) having some kind of dealings with the Liberal government behind the backs of our allies. China appears to already have a strong hold on the Canadian government. The Liberal cabinet (government) could not bring themselves to vote with the Parliament to condemn the genocide of the Uyghurs. So far they refuse to release documents concerning the Winnipeg virology lab and the two Chinese people who were removed from the lab. I read lately in the book Alliance of Evil (Russia and China) that China will be the world's strongest superpower in one to two decades. They may already be economically the superpower in many ways. They control the U.N. and many international organizations. They do not believe in western values such as liberalism and human rights. They will gradually force the west to accept their authoritarian style of government. They also have proxy countries who will do their bidding and help them grow in power and supremacy. The west is full of liberals, democrats, Socialist, and progressives like yourself who want government to take care of them from cradle to grave and create a utopia. China promises this type of system for you but the only catch is you will surrender your fundamental freedoms and democracy in exchange for this form of government security system. This is what is happening. One tool to do this is the U.N. and World Economic Forum. We also see this happening with the World Health Organization which is run by a former liberation revolutionary from Africa. The W.H.O. is controlled by China which controls much of the U.N. They don't need to nuke the west to take over. That is old thinking. There are many other ways which they are now taking control such as propaganda, ideology, cyber, and many countless agents working in various western countries. This seems to be all in line with biblical prophecy which prophesies a one world system run by the anti-Christ at some point in the future. It is easy to see how that is coming with the globalists push for more global control and the U.N. Marxist agenda called Social Development Goals (SDG). That is a Marxist manifesto for creating a global utopia. Of course that won't happen until all countries forfeit their sovereingty and submit to the globalist one-world government. But this could be happening gradually as we see with Trudeau and the Liberals supporting things like the U.N. Compact on Migration and the U.N. Climate Change Accord.

I was wondering when you'd show up with your narrow definition of Muslims, favored by fanatics all over the world. You are one of the worse hate/fear mongers on this forum, and I'm calling you out for it. You, along with Argus and others of your ilk, are the ones creating a space in which some unbalanced kid thinks he needs to go out and "do something" - shoot up a Mosque, or run down a family. Good on ya, please join the rest of the group in the 'people I don't want in Canada' category. Now now, don't cry - you and Argus would refuse my sister life in Canada, were it in your power, based on nothing more than your hatred of Muslims. At least my dislike of you is based on your words, and not on something irrelevant - like where you live.

Oskar Schindler was a good Nazi. The whole 'some Muslims' or 'most Muslims' is a bad argument. The Quran is clear that the disbeliever is to be fought until he/she submits and all religion is for Allah...strike terror and such. Atheism is considered a faith to Islam...and is to be fought. Islam is at war with you as a non-Muslim even if the Muslim guy down the street isn't particularly "radical". It's not a race. It's not a skin colour. It's a religion...man made. It says fight...and conveniently...if one dies fighting in the service of Allah, one's sins are erased. That's what we might call...dangerous thinking.

My grandfather used to say: "There's his story, there's her story, and somewhere in the middle there's the truth." Leftists have no clue wtf that even means. To them any victimhood story is instantly considered gospel truth. There's never any perspective, understanding, or reason from leftists. If they had any of those things they wouldn't be leftists though, would they lol.

I excuse nothing, but you take rare and extreme examples and present them as the norm. They were not. Provide evidence to substantiate your claims. Bad things happened in all schools, more of them in residential schools. Gains? How about learning to read and write, perform basic math, learn life skills for functioning in a rapidly advancing world, and encouraging participation in an economy that would provide much higher living standards? Yes children were removed from homes by CAS due to parental neglect, abuse, and addiction. Trying to blame all of that on residential schools is a cop out, but yes, that’s going to be the narrative until facts and research become mainstream, which may be never. It’s about the punchy heart wrenching headline: 60’s Scoop, child graves. It’s not nearly as simple as that.

This graph never gets old, and perfectly illustrates the mindset of people like @Michael Hardnerand @dialamah.

In 50+ years, the 'new woke' folks will be looking back at the 'right now' folks of to-day, and slamming, condemning, dis-avowing everything done to-day. Get your 'victim resume' up to date . . . . learn how to cry on cue, be the 'self-righteous whiner' that others see . . . . . .BE THE VICTIM. The Government owes/owns you.

I was about to click 'like' on your post when I read this. To be fair, it wasn't like the world of today, where a kid could call the cops on their phone and get an investigation started right away with forensic evidence collected. Also, not every kid or even every school experienced sexual predation. Let's not get carried away. If a kid really tried to get a message to the police back in 1919 it would be later in the day, or week, and as we all know most of these crimes even go unreported. If a report does get filed it's more of a he said she said than anything, and you know as well as anyone that people don't even agree on what they see with their own eyes on the news. Re: Rayshard, I saw extremely polite and patient officers in a position where they had no choice but to arrest him get punched, have a taser stolen, have the first of 2 rounds in that potentially lethal taser shot at the cop's face from close up, and the cop return fire. Leftists saw a guy who fell asleep in his car get shot while he was just running away from oppressive racists. They saw a non-lethal taser, as if there is such a thing. Keep in mind those are contradictory accounts of what people saw from the exact same POV with their own eyes.

How Pastor Artur Pawlowski was treated when he was arrested in Calgary for his church defying a Covid order is beyond belief. Watch this video where he describes his experience in custody. He describes Canada as a hybrid Communist-Fascist state. FlashPoint Clip: Pastor ARRESTED in Canada! Featuring Pastor Artur Pawlowski - Bing video

The police and all three levels of government are watching in dumb silence as anarchists and communist radicals lay waste to our institutions and throw out the founders of the country without debate. That’s our world now. It seems that most Canadians are too ignorant or lazy to care. The forces responsible for the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution never disappeared. https://apple.news/AB1l2ImsaR2ON6M9q6Bl9kw

Apartheid: 1. (in South Africa) a policy or system of segregation or discrimination on grounds of race. "Palestinian" is not a race. "Muslim" is not a race. What they call "Palestinians" are not all Arabs. But if any or all of them were a race they are all treated equally under the law in Israel. That's not apartheid. If you're going to base your claim on an obvious fallacy, Marcus, I don't see how you can expect to be taken seriously.

If you want to get on your high horse about poor treatment of the Palestinians, you should focus more on Hamas and less on Israel, since they treat them much worse than Israel does yet all I see is you whining about Israel defending itself resulting in collateral damage, and not a peep about Hamas

Joe Biden, who took office in January, announced nation-wide recovery measures to combat the effects of the pandemic on the USA's economy. One of his specific plan, was to give money to small businesses most hurt by the pandemic, under one condition; the owner of said business must not have white skin. This is an extremely concerning news, as this is a plan pushed forward politically that would create a lot of animosity. This is blocked by two courts right now; https://www.wsj.com/articles/stopping-racial-bias-in-covid-relief-11622421892 This is something we saw Democrats do as well in Oakland, where the people -except those who have white skin- who make less than $US 59,000, are eligible to receive $US 500 a month. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/mar/23/oakland-california-universal-basic-income-program Just remember the Democrats really hate White people, and they would risk a civil war if they could hurt them to favor them electorally.

Stop excusing unconstitutional and discriminatory policy.
