CdnFox Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/warmington-prime-minister-acknowledges-most-religious-holidays-except-good-friday It was a snub of biblical proportions that did not go unnoticed by Canada’s 19 million Christians. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, after all, would never miss offering good wishes to any other religion at the start of their most sacred holidays. For Ramadan he posted on X: “This Ramadan comes at an anxious time for the Muslim and Arab community. When I joined them for their Iftar in Vancouver, I heard their worries firsthand – about family and friends in Gaza, and about feeling vulnerable here at home – and I let them know they’re supported.” On the Hindu holiday he wrote: “Diwali reminds us that truth, light, and goodness will always prevail. To celebrate that hopeful message and mark this important festival, I joined a virtual celebration earlier this evening. Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating!” In the past for the Sikh’s holiest holiday he has posted: “Vaisakhi is a time to focus on what matters – family, friends, and being there for our neighbours” and wishing “Sikh Canadians celebrating a very happy Vaisakhi.” So what did Canada’s prime minister post to honour Good Friday? Nothing. The only X post on the national holiday was about $10-a-day child care. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CdnFox Posted March 31 Author Report Share Posted March 31 This isn't going to play well in quebec. He claims to be catholic but he very clearly hates Christians. Barely a peep while churches burned, Not a word about easter. Supports removing religious exemptions from hate speech laws. Judgy Pope is NOT impressed, Justin.

Well we know that's a part of it but honestly - i think it's more intentional. I think they're thinking that 47 percent of Canadians AREN'T christian and they're hoping to deliberately look like they're snubbing Christians to cozy up to those people in the hopes they'll be able to pull them together in part of a new intersectional coalition to win the next election. In other words - once again the left is turning one group against another hoping a culture war will produce votes. As a result of 10 years of this Canada has become divided - probably irrevocably so.

Pretty much the same as always. He always does a speech like this. But he also does a very heartfelt video message for diwali, ramadan etc etc. wishing them the very best and acknowledging their beliefs. It's ok to do nothing - it's ok to do something for everyone - it's wrong to pick favorites and segregate people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not his gov't. And trudeau is the gov't at the moment. But as usual - your reply to a very important and sensitive issue is "why are they making a big deal of this" - which is NOT your reply when it's a left wing issue of similar nature. It's a big deal when the gov't refuses to acknoweldge a religion as they just did. It's a snub. It's saying they don't believe that religion is legitimate or that it's people are important. I know - i know. You have been clear that you fully support the gov't repressing or insulting anyone you don't like. Which is fine - but don't whine if a future gov't treats you and yours the same.

blackbird Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 I watched the CBC news but did not see Trudeau's Easter message. I was able to find it on youtube. But very few people will watch his message on youtube. I have not watched CTV news this Easter (Sunday) morning, but if it is not being broadcast on the main television networks in the country, you might as well say it is not being broadcast. Very few people watch youtube so that really counts as nothing. Will check CTV news later today and see if it appears on there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gov't of Canada released messages for all the major religions on their important holidays. But for Christians it was just 'happy march holiday'. No getting around it - that's a deliberate snub.

Lemme see. You said "Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, after all, would never miss offering good wishes to any other religion" "So what did Canada’s prime minister post to honour Good Friday? Nothing." 2 people told you Trudeau had given an Easter message and it was on YouTube Now you say the "government did not but Trudeau is the government"? Huh? Caught in another BS circle eh??

So we go from "Trudeau doesn't acknowledge a Christian holiday" to "The networks don't rebroadcast it"... but I thought the networks exist to make Trudeau look good ? So confusing...

Quote Lemme see you said "But not his gov't. And trudeau is the gov't at the moment." Sure - trudeau's formed the gov't at the moment. That would be different than say Jaggers or Polievre - who are not the gov't at the moment. So ALL those two can do is issue personal statements or party statements - they can't issue gov't statements. Justin runs the gov't - and the gov't chose not to. Still with us kiddo?
