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.

Ya! Because West... Robo- bot iths thmaaarrrt...

^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.

And you just revealed your PARTISAN HACKERY. LMAO Maybe for tax violations or mistakes in his gun permit, but I will be SHOCKED if he goes to jail for either of those. Those are NOT felonies. Which you would know IF you knew the LAW. The LAW does not care about your amateur OPINIONS.

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

Fcking kids for starters...

Gawd you puke a lot. You use CAPS a lot 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

I’m not defending anyone, I’m just stating a fact. Facts don’t care about your feelings. You claim that someone is a pedophile. I don’t know who you’re referring to or why you’re making that accusation. I assume it’s because conservatives don’t have any ideas so they just cast one false attack after another. How long have you been a pedophile?

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

There are many spines cracking under the strain of bending over backwards attempting to justify the Biden foibles.

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

This is a cognition issue, a trick of perception. It has nothing to do with math.

And Putin. Those companies saw their chance to influence the midterm elections. Fortunately they FAILED for the most part.

And so we keep coming back to the same celebrated theme. Too much or not, who's there to decide that, how? Independent citizens representatives, we don't have those sorry. Correctly reflected and represented political views of the population, not here, try next door maybe. Again Michael: who decides what is and isnt' too much, how they do it and why they can do it? Can you decide what isn't too much for me, and I, for you? Can I ask you for a few grand tomorrow, it's really not too much (I say) what?

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

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

now is the time to fall back upon your Vimy Myth rally to the colours on Hill 145 at Calais you are the one after all, who invoked it

The way I interpret Trudeaus' appointment is to oppose or discourage hatred of Muslims and oppose any form of violence or hateful behavior. I think that is fair enough because there have been a number of hateful terrorist attacks and a number of hateful actions against Muslims and their places of worship. So it is reasonable to discourage that behavior. I don't see it as meaning one must accept Islamic beliefs or the Quran. But they should have the freedom to practice their religion peacefully just as anyone else in a free country.

I would always defend your right to do that. Jesus said to turn the other cheek in such cases.

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.

This guy is a beauty. I want to be his friend. The dairy board is retarded and should have been dismantled decades ago. One of the strongest lobbies in Canada is the dairy lobby. This is something real that people should be complaining and talking about.

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.

Never mind the fact that Hunter and his family were clearly influence peddling, and that they are in tight with the Chinese gov't, making millions of dollars from them directly. Never mind the fact that the FBI lied about the laptop, by calling it "Russian disinformation", to influence the election. The real story is that Hunter, the Chinese gov't's most useful American asset, had his privacy invaded. What do you make of the fact that we now know that Hunter had access to classified documents while the Chinese gov't was paying him so handsomely?

It's a pity these insane leftists cannot read. They're really in denail, I tell you.

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.

This is called Islamic Republic and people are not just tossed oFf buildings for being gay but for many other reasons including asking for their very basic rights. WOMAN LIFE FREEDOM.

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.

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. ??

If you ever decide to shoot up an elementary school you should tell the judge "i wasnt born when guns were invented".

Well then you will get the blood bath you have been lusting for.

Those of us who watch and read the news get it shoved in our face.

Also, noticed blackbird also started a thread on Trudeau's latest virtue signalling

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

Lost the moral authority? Trudeau never had the moral background for the job to start with. But Adolf Hitler? ?
