Didn't you read her comments? " I would be sure that France and Britain were there who possess nuclear weapons and I will be working urgently with these partners to build a closer security relationship that guarantees our security in a time when United States can be a threat. I would also reach out to our Asian democratic partners, Japan, South Korea, Australia," Freeland said during a debate as Canada looks to pick a new leader." Her comments are nutty but then again she isn't going to be the Prime Minister. It's up to Carney as to what role, if any, she will be given.

This is what she said: "Rather than guaranteeing the rules-based world order, the US is turning predator. So what Canada needs to do is work closely with our democratic allies, our military allies. I've been Foreign Minister. I know how to do that. I would start with our Nordic partners, specifically Denmark, which is also being threatened, and our NATO European allies. I would be sure that France and Britain were there who possess nuclear weapons and I will be working urgently with these partners to build a closer security relationship that guarantees our security in a time when United States can be a threat. I would also reach out to our Asian democratic partners, Japan, South Korea, Australia," Freeland said during a debate as Canada looks to pick a new leader. Yes, the Canadian politician floated creating a nuclear alliance against the USA because the "United States can be a threat." https://www.outkick.com/culture/chrystia-freeland-nuclear-alliance-canada-america Freeland appears to think that the US is more of a security threat to us than say, China.

I realize that a lot of the BLM/Antifa thugs rioting may not all be locals, but just how freaking stupid are these people that they just set every building in sight ablaze without for one second stopping to see who actually owns the business? And it is totally unjustifiable to be burning everything in sight in the first place. Doesn't matter who owns the business, white, black, big corporation...it is just flat out wrong.

https://fee.org/articles/here-are-just-10-of-the-many-minority-owned-businesses-destroyed-in-the-riots/ Here are 10 examples from the seemingly endless reports of minority-owned businesses suffering at the hands of rioters and looters: Private Stock Premium Boutique, a black-owned clothing store based in Austin, Texas, was looted and left in ruins during the riots. Bole Ethiopian Cuisine, an ethnic restaurant in Saint Paul, Minnesota, was burnt, vandalized, and destroyed during rioting. Guns and Roses Boutique, a Dallas, Texas boutique, was started by a black businesswoman who built her fashion enterprise from the ground up. It was looted and left in ruins during riots. Go Get It Tobacco, a black-owned tobacco store in St. Paul, Minnesota, was vandalized, robbed, and left in tatters. King’s Fashion, a Philadelphia boutique, was burned and left layered in soot. Its minority owners had “built the business over two decades, working seven-day weeks.” MN Fashion and Jewelry, a jewelry store in Minneapolis, Minnesota was raided and looted, leaving its owner, Masum Siddiquee, to pick up the pieces. Scores Sports Bar, a Minneapolis sports bar, was the brainchild of a black firefighter who used his life savings to start it. He had planned to open it in June. Rioters burned it to the ground, and the owners did not have insurance. Healing Path Wellness Services, a South Minneapolis minority-owned mental health clinic, was burned, looted, and destroyed. Ihman’s Hair Studio, a Philadelphia hair salon, was looted and ransacked. The owner wrote that she is “hurt and angry that my people would vandalize and destroy a black-owned business.” Kane’s Barbershop and Altatudes, a minority-owned barbershop in Austin, Texas, was burned during riots and extensively damaged. https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-05-29/minneapolis-minority-business-owners-awake-to-destruction

That statement speaks volumes about your moral compass, or lack thereof. You think it was perfectly acceptable for violent thugs to torch a police station, no matter if anyone is inside or not. And it also shows how you are still misinformed if you think cops run around targeting blacks for no reason.
-
Burning down a police station when they knew there were people inside(lucky enough to get out with their lives) accomplished what exactly? What did looting, and then burning down black owned businesses accomplish?

Hard to believe you don't know the answer, but it was worse because of the sheer scale of the violence and dollar amount in damages. Not to mention the fact that those doing the rioting were bailed out by the actions of people like Kamala Harris. She pretty much encouraged them to riot. To claim she didn't encourage violence is undermined by the fact she actively worked to get violent protesters bailed out ASAP. Sen. Harris’ remarks came during an appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on June 17. At the time, nationwide protests were underway following the death of George Floyd, a Black man, in Minneapolis police custody. “They’re not going to stop,” Harris said at the time. “This is a movement, I’m telling you. They’re not going to stop and everyone beware, because they’re not going to stop. They’re not going to stop before Election Day in November and they’re not going to stop after Election Day. Everyone should take note of that on both levels. They’re not going to let up and they should not and we should not.”

Jan 6 violence was bad. Antifa/BLM violence was worse. But did anyone on the left complain about them?
-
No surprise, I disagree. It's not necessarily hostility to express concerns about something, whether it's the transgender agenda or violence from a certain religion. It should not be considered a crime either, unless they cross the line by calling for violence.

This mom was arrested because she posted her opinion on the transgender agenda. She is Catholic and an easy target. I have my doubts that they would charge a Muslim for posting a similar opinion. https://ewtn.co.uk/article-uk-social-media-arrest-one-minute-catholic-mom-was-roasting-chicken-the-next-she-was-off-to-jail/ https://www.theregister.com/2016/06/02/social_media_arrests_up_37pc_london_section_127_communications_act/ In Germany one can be arrested for insulting a politician. https://nypost.com/2025/02/21/world-news/germans-cant-insult-politicians-which-is-why-we-need-to-protect-free-speech-in-the-us/

People are being arrested in Europe for posting opinions that are not about encouraging violence or any bad intentions.
