IMO our Western society has grown too big and divided to really get together on anything. Yes but this money laundering our betters are engaged in is something that should unite ordinary Canadians like no other. This shouldn't be a left or right issue and I'm sure there are good people in this forum who know in their hearts this is wrong but either partisanship or the sense that it would 'tear down Canada' if we probed to deeply into it is causing them to hold their noses and hope it just goes away. They probably have good reason to believe it will. Of course with $130 billion coming into Canada annually...its like selling oil I guess, if not us the money will just go somewhere else.

Before long they're all referring to the same bullshit article or discredited science but they've repeated it so much to each other that they actually believe it's true. Anything that conflicts with this junk is "fake news".

There's nothing wrong with watching the news on TV, but read stuff (even print news and online) too and just look at lots of different sources to see the different biases. The MSM can usually be at least relied on to report the basic facts and will generally not outright lie, but the way they report it will differ greatly from Fox News on one end to something like CNN or the CBC on the other. When I say the MSM can generally report the facts, I mean their actual journalists and news reporters. Their editorialists and personalities (like Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity or Chris Cuomo) say whatever the hell they want and aren't really worth listening to. 1 minute ago, ExFlyer said: I get lambasted and accused quite regularly for accepting MSM.

During a plenary session of parliament Wednesday in Brussels, several MEPs called Trudeau out, accusing him of violating human rights over the handling of the Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa last month. https://torontosun.com/news/world/dictatorship-of-the-worst-kind-european-mps-blast-trudeau-for-covid-rights-violation Corrections: 1) Trudeau was speaking at the EU Council not NATO. You should learn the difference 2) Despite being a non- story it was reported in every Canadian MSM outlet. Claiming something “wasn’t reported in MSM” is just a standard lie that right wing media tacks on to every story 3) There are 705 members of the EU parliament, yet only these 3 obscure far-right members “slammed” him. 2 of them are from an anti-EU German party that has ties to white supremacists and a German court has ruled is a “suspected threat to democracy” with “sufficient indications of anti-constitutional goals“. The third is a failed Croatian presidential candidate who is also anti-EU and an anti-vax conspiracy kook. While only about half of the EU parliamentary members attended Trudeaus speech, I bet the right wing media didn’t report that he received a standing ovation and the public galleries were full, or that most of those who accepted the invitation to speak publicly to Trudeau gave speeches that were supportive and welcoming. But let’s focus on the 3 extremist kooks. Edited March 27, 2022 by BeaverFever Quote

I could only find that Toronto Sun story on the subject of the EU members who bashed Trudeau as a democracy hating dictator wannabe on March 24.

Have you seen any mention in your news sources about why reports about Canada laundering over $130 billion a year of oligarch money are being under-reported and why no one at all in the EU appears to have said a peep about it? Seems to me any possibility that Canada might be laundering money for Russian oligarchs would have a lot more of NATO and the 'better trained' Europeans far more rightfully pissed off at Trudeau than any malcontent armed with the hooey that pisses you off.

Sadly, those batards will never face jail time for their criminal crimes against Canadians and criminal crimes against humanity. It is the trucker protesters and their supporters who are now being hunted down by the Ottawa police to be later charged with some kind of trumped up charges to try and make an example of them and to others that they dare not try and take on the establishment anymore. Peaceful protests in Canada will soon become a thing of the past and illegal. Only the sanctioned leftist liberal ones will be legal. Canada is not the free country that it once was before covid. Those peaceful trucker protesters were Canadian hero's who will soon be paying the price for their crime to peacefully protest. Welcome to the new normal Canada alright.

But believe it or not, Putin and many other leaders in many other countries are putting the screws to their plans for world domination. The people of America are not the enemy. It is the people that are running America are the enemy. This is why we the peasants must stop listening too the lying fake MSM and the lying puppet on a string politicians who are pretty much all in agreement with them. Patriotism comes with a high price. The trucker protesters and the people who supported them are on a hit list by the Ottawa police and the Marxist federal government in Ottawa. Canadians who peacefully protested in the truckers convoy are now being treated as criminals and terrorists by a government that does not believe in rights and freedoms anymore. Just Marxist dictatorship over we the peasants. Welcome to the new normal Marxist social credit system in Canada where if you do not tow the line, your bank account will get frozen. This is how far Canada has come already. Why is the conservative party not outraged by this? Why do they continue to sit in parliament and have not stormed out of parliament in disgust while this dictator destroys freedom and rights in Canada? The EU has already slammed comrade Trudeau for implementing the emergency Marxist act. But ask the dictator if he really cares. It certainly looks to me like the old Canada of just two years ago is slowly disappearing. Sadly, the majority of the frightened peasants in Canada are silently going along to get along. I hate politics but sometimes you must get involved. Sad but true. ? Edited March 31, 2022 by taxme Quote
