Why we don't like her? Terry Glavin is reasonably succinct on that point. She represents that sneering progressive attitude that despises Canada, its traditions, values and history, and says we're all racists and 'settlers'. Why would we not have contempt for such a person. As an activist and frequent opinion-pages contributor, Elghawaby has adopted all the respectable standpoints with just the right degree of transgressive élan, rarely too strident or too squishy. She called for removing the Queen as Canada’s head of state and dismissed Canada Day as a festival of “Judeo-Christian storytelling.” She’s been gushing in her praise for Trudeau and backs the Trudeau government’s extremely contentious moves to regulate commentary on the internet. She’s argued in favour of Muslim prayer rooms in schools, and once blasted the former Conservative government of Stephen Harper as having done more harm to the image of Canadian Muslims than al-Qaida’s atrocities in New York and Washington on Sept. 11, 2001. What the point of her appoint is. The whole thing is a mess, and it’s as just as jumbled and fractious as Elghawaby’s appointment, which is as Trudeau described it — to “build bridges.” But it’s to build the Liberal party’s bridges to Muslim voters. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/amira-elghawaby-being-used-by-liberals-to-woo-muslim-votes

Let's all brainstorm on things we can blame on Trudeau. That will help him get reelected... Make sure that the election is fought over conspiracy theories, so that the lunatic fringe has two loony parties to pick from.

It's partly irritating and partly amusing how the Left in Canada is so disapproving of the US but at the same time is so desperate to imitate whatever the US Left is up to. Nothing makes that more obvious than the subject of Black people. About 13% of the US population is Black. They obviously have a very long history with racism and prejudice and the majority of Blacks in the US (or their parents and ancestors) experienced that history. And so they have things like affirmative action, and Black History Month and all kinds of 'anti-racism' seminars, lectures, books and insistence everyone take courses. Canada has no such history. That's not to say we were paragons of virtue but we simply had almost no visible minorities in this country prior to immigration being opened up in the nineteen seventies and eighties. Most visible minorities in Canada are immigrants. Most of the remainder are their kids, born to them here. Hasn't stopped our Left from doing their best to imitate the Americans. We too have hiring and promotion quotas for visible minorities - especially blacks. And we have the same fixation, even obsession with 'antiblack racism'. Black History month is where the Canadian Left searches desperately for something to say about Black people in Canada and about how important they were despite there being almost none of them here. Today, about 3% of the population is Black. In the 1970s there weren't more than 30k Black people in Canada. We put a black woman on the ten dollar bill, replacing our first prime minister with a beautician who had been fined a dollar for sitting in the wrong section of a movie theater. She appealed the fine, lost, and went back to being a beautician. There are no quotes from her because she never said anything notable. Then she moved to the United States. Not, I'm guessing, to escape the virulent racism in Canada. Canada Post has a new stamp for "Black history month". Who did they find, what notable person to put on the stamp? A woman who was a slave about 80 years before Canada was even formed. Apparently fearing the Empire was about to end slavery her master took her south to sell her in the US. She struggled and made a lot of noise so that people noticed. That was it, people. That's what get her a stamp. The governor of upper Canada banned such future transfers. Okay. So? It just shows the desperation our woke government has to invoke guilt and shame on our 'dark history', despite our history being as pure as the driven snow compared to just about every other nation on Earth. Because that's the purpose of such exercises. To shame Canada, and for Black people to wallow in victimhood while white liberals strut and virtue signal. It's divisive and stupid.

Some frustrated farmers, voice their concerns about milk in todays market... It does not make sense, one of the few Mad MAX election promise to dismantle our dairy and cheese industry...the Farmers making only 90 cents per liter...out of a 7 dollar liter of milk...

If you want to know why gas prices got so high last year, you can see it in the unprecedented, all-time high profits of Shell, Exxon and Chevron. Gas prices went up but costs did not. The American people defend Arab nations who greedily extort massive profits out of us and US oil companies gleefully join in on the beat down. Anybody who thinks Biden is the villain in this isn’t paying attention to the obvious: Our dependence on oil is the culprit, and the less we consume, the less power these unstable Muslim Arab dictators have over our economy, our jobs, and stability in the Mideast.

I didn't know racism was a right vs. left issue. I thought it was a good vs. evil issue.

Also against Christians and their places of worship but Trudeau hasn't said a word about that, let alone appointed any special 'representative'.

How come whenever a Muslim murders people the Left falls all over each other to shriek at the world about how those are just a small minority and not the least bit indicative of the Muslim population in general. But whenever an act of violence or terrorism is committed AGAINST Muslims that's a general indictment of our entire society and we all need to bow our heads in shame and accept our guilt?

The real crime is someone found his kiddie porn on his laptop... sure if you say so hunter

I didn't even know that we had "black history month" until today. https://pm.gc.ca/en/news/statements/2023/02/01/statement-prime-minister-black-history-month They had one last year too. How long has this been a thing here? Who started it? Do we have a First Nations History month?Jewish? Latino? Indian? Chinese? Japanese? Hindu? Sikh? LGBT? Trans? There aren't enough months to give everyone a month, and I'm completely unaware of any reasons why black Canadians get a month and other people don't.

Now that we've heard from the batshit insane it's time to hear from anyone capable of even knowing what they're talking about.

Yeah I know you think shootings in Mosques and running them down on sidewalks was ll leftist media lies. No problem, it's all good, eh? I guess so to people who think even mentioning racism is a blow against whitey, that being opposed to fascism is fascist and thinking black lives matter is a mortal affront to white people.

Trudeau hires some Toronto Star loon to go after the lefty boogeyman of "Islamophobia".. More race baiting from the lefty loons https://www.www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6726655

^Not how debate works. Prove YOU'RE NOT a PEDO. See how stupid that is? YOU HAVE TO PROVE YOUR CLAIM. Then I will poke a dozen holes in your BULLSHIT.

Lol...

Do you invite everyone into your home if they knock on your door? Agree with blackbird . . .

She should not be appointed because she has opinions I do not agree with and most people would not agree with. Did you read a previous post by I am Groot? They point out a lot of very bad ideas she has. Guess you have no idea.

the Vimy Myth addresses this issue directly upon arrival at the Western Front, the nascent Canadian Corps was saddled with the albatross of Sam Hughes Minister of Militia, Sam Hughes, was an utterly inept lunatic, much like Justin Trudeau the interference therein, of the fatuous & delusional Government, resulted in catastrophic casualties until a British aristocrat, personal friend of the King, Julian Byng, put a stop to it the Commander of the Canadian Corps, invoked the authority of the Crown itself, to override the Government in doing so, he saved not only the Canadian Corps, but in fact, won the war in end in a Hundred Days, from Amiens to Mons

You must be pretty disturbed to try and justify a pedo

Fcking kids for starters...

What does a drag show have to do with sex? I don’t understand how a man dressing up as Dorothy and singing Over the Rainbow is sex ed. Are they going to outlaw women wearing pants? What about people named Pat and Kelly? Should we outlaw that? What about taking students to a Scottish Highlands festival? Is that illegal? How about these royal people? Should teaching about British royalty be banned too?

I understand right and wrong, and your side is always wrong. Justice will prevail when Baby Biden is doing time.

I would suggest that Adolf Hitler is what you get when monarchies are incited to destroy their own liberal order by catastrophic overreach which rather puts the likes of Trudeau in the camp with Kaiser Wilhelm II & Czar Nicholas II both grandsons of Victoria Hanover, Mother Canada God save the Queen from Her own inept progeny

turn your enemy's own tactics back against him now that the left is the Establishment they are the ones who fear the Viet Minh

if you are opposed to popular protests forcing change from the streets that would render you into an arch conservative welcome to the club, old bean if you give us your shoe size, we'll send you your jackboots

well I was raised by leftist intellectuals in the 1970's to follow the leadership of Martin Luther King and at that time, it really was the left who was agitating against racism as an ideology but now in an Orwellian twist of fate, it is the left who has turned against Martin Luther King now Martin Luther King is being invoked by the left as being the "Black Face of White Supremacy" ludicrous as that may be, it speaks to the truth that the Devil is inside all of us and as Christian Soldiers, we must resist being drawn into this totalitarian dark age away from the light of our civilization upon a Ridge at Pas de Calais across the sea where Canada Bereaved broods over the fallen between two great pylons representing English & French Canada turning from this figure to look up at the pylons, you will see at the highest points Justice and Peace arranged below them are other figures representing Truth, Knowledge, Gallantry and Sympathy around these figures are shields of Canada, Britain and France on the outside of the pylons is the Cross. in the centre, at the base, the Spirit of Sacrifice throws the torch to his comrades Deas Gu Cath

Black people have been brutalized with police and unjustly convicted of crimes throughout our nation’s history. These problems didn’t begin in 1970.

More illustrations of what happened for the simpletons to better understand.

It doesn't matter if its apples to tarantulas when the thing you're comparing is the rate at which they burst into flames. This might be a base rate fallacy except in reverse. Take this graph and exchange the words unvaccinated for EV's and vaccinated for ICE's and instead of hospitalized with COVID insert bursts-into-flames. Does that help clear things up at all?

There's another person on the DP forums that uses your screen name..... He's a f__king Id iot too.

It's lobbying that needs to be talked about.

But a 20 year-old unvaxxed is at higher risk than a 20 year-old vaxxed.

https://nationalpost.com/opinion/michael-higgins-clueless-union-demands-47-raise-from-clueless-liberals here we see PSAC demanding a 47% increase in compensation over three years the headline is that such a demand is "totally unreasonable" but in actual fact, 50% probably does represent the precipitous loss in spending power in just a few short years what happened ? what is the difference ? the difference is that from 2008-2018 the crisis was contained to the banks the monetary stimulus was going entirely to prop the banks up, that money was not flowing unto the streets but in 2019 governments initiated massive fiscal stimulus the central banks started pumping trillions of new dollars into the retail economy and that has broken the dam, the crisis has escaped from the banks unto the streets so more than ever, keeping control of the population, keeping the populist revolt in check, is the imperative people are being forced to pay $3000.00 a month to rent a semi-detached that's like paying a mortgage on a fully detached home at 18% interest asset holders are being protected by the central banks, so the renters are being made to pay the piper homeless encampments are growing, tent cities springing up all over the Silent Depression is already in progress

It's a conspiracy right?

May I suggest you read the terms and conditions of your average PC repair shop? See...Hunter abandoned that laptop. The shop owner realized he was holding a machine filled with pictures of criminal activities, while trying to fix it. And since Hunter had likely forgot about it in a Crack induced coma, the shop keeper notified the FBI...who did nothing.

Most Canadians are so steeped in radical left identity politics groupthink that they don’t see how narrow the “acceptable” public discourse is now in Canada. Most Canadians are scared to question or think for themselves. They think government should take care of them like helpless babies and government happily treats them as such. Canada has the government it deserves. Want more pluralism and freedom of thought? Sorry, you’ll probably need to leave the country for that. The solutions to failed healthcare are more assisted suicide and legalization of hard drugs. The solution to political criticism of government is to say the opposition has “unacceptable views”. Liberals will likely get re-elected and rights will be further watered down. Want to push back? Expect to lose your job or face a “human rights” tribunal. Trudeau’s Canada is Cuba North.

Yes, responding to you is dumb. Boring is another word...

IF ^this were true, Hunter would have been indicted already; but only if the "evidence" were admissible in court. So either it's COMPLETELY FALSE or the "evidence" is inadmissible; possibly because leaking it was AGAINST DELAWARE LAW. Confidential is confidential in DE. Unfortunate that you're never able to follow your delusions to their ILLOGICAL conclusion.

Are you sure about that? Have you heard of places like Mexico, or Columbia? Perhaps this isn't a racial thing, and a much more complex problem, and that blacks were shipped over to North America as slaves and formally discriminated against for basically their entire history here, with policies like red-lining systematically keeping them poor and depriving them of opportunity well into the 1980's. I guess everything is just supposed to work out and be better in a generation? Yes, the why is exactly what we're talking about. Why are people getting murdered by police in truly outrageous fashion? Whether it's Ed Bronstein or another in a long list of black dudes, why are police beating the snot out of people who aren't fighting back, choking them to death or shooting them while they run away? Maybe we don't need our police officers to think they're special forces trying to show everyone who's boss, rather than serve and protect the public.

If a person's fat we call them fat. Hmmmm. That's really.... uhhhh, honest? Do you see a pattern forming now....? No one calls "physically fit women" men. One of these women is very fit and very attractive, the other is not fit but looks like a dude. I'm gonna go ahead and guess that you told about 1,000 lies about Trump over the past 7 years, and the only people we make fun of are libtards. OMG dude, leftists have no room to talk about "what makes society worse". You're just as bad as Steph Curry, guy's a huge leftist who backs illegal immigration, then whines about low-cost housing coming to his city lol. You guys just don't understand that most of the people who cross illegally move into other people's neighbourhoods and compete for low-income housing and jobs with them. Pretty much every leftist policy is just stupid. "Defund police" Force young people to vax. Bring drag queens to the schools to talk to little kids. Allow boys to use the girls' washroom. After a guy rapes a girl in the bathroom they just shuffle him off to another school... Cheap bail: Guy beats up his baby momma, runs her over, gets out of jail on $1,000 bail, then runs over 50 more people with the same vehicle. It's like a leftist version of that old movie "Christine".

6x as many multi-vaccinated die as unvaccinated. 85% of the population is multi-vaxed. That's what we know for sure. Anything else is speculation. Do you know the vaccination rates of the people in the 70+ with underlying health conditions demographic? For all we know it might be 50%. If that's the case then 86% of covid deaths are coming from 50% of the population. If vaxtards are finally at a place where they're acknowledging that 86% of covid deaths are among the vaxed, that's a good thing. Out of curiosity, if covid was a pandemic when it was killing less people than it is now, how is it over? I personally don't care, I didn't consider it a pandemic when it was a pandemic. In any event, the next logical step is for you to realize that if so many vaxed people are getting covid bad enough to die from it, then young people will also spread covid regardless of their vax status, so resorting to fascism was as useless as it was immoral, and it led to needless deaths and severe injuries. That has been the point this whole time. I've never been against people using the vax if they think they need it, I don't know anyone who is. Vax-fascism was 100% wrong, end of story.

Yup. Not my fault you outed yourself.

I have every sympathy for police trying to restrain suspects but there are ground rules. You can’t be doing things that clearly threaten a person’s life in the absence of an imminent threat to your own; force must be proportionate.

Mate, if you asphyxiate a person and it’s ruled a homicide, I’m hardly straining credulity by claiming an assault has taken place. Why am I even having this conversation? Read the transcripts and get back to us.

Correction to your correction: If you had the balls to post the entire quote and explain how it provides any additional context, you would have. You cannot do so, however, so you do not. ??

Admitting to crimes? Like this?

Is there an appointee to go after the lefty loons who burned down all those churches a few years ago?

And many here thought your head was up Justin's . . . . . oh well, carry on.

Do you know Bisonette? He sounds like a lot of posters on here. https://www.vice.com/en/article/ywxeyg/here-are-the-far-right-conspiracists-the-quebec-city-mosque-shooter-followed

You need to get out more. Every single leftist on this planet has a greater need for Pampers than DT ever did.
