There is an actual bounty on him. You do understand that, right? There is no equivalency here, just you sounding stupid. Edited April 2 by CouchPotato Quote

Us wokies have known that for a while. It’s about time conservatives came around. What do you think about the Cons ditching the candidate who joked that Trudeau should be hanged?

It’s about time conservatives came around. No one has ever denied that speech has consequences. But you still have a right to free speech. They just got kicked from the party. They aren't facing legal consequences. The difference is 'wokies' would have people face charges for perceived 'microagressions'. You could always be fired for essentially calling for someone's death. I don't think that is anything new. Once again, give your head a shake. Quote
Legato Posted April 2 Report Posted April 2 4 hours ago, TreeBeard said: Three candidates removed by the Cons in one day! https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7499684 Singh is the third candidate the Tories dropped on Tuesday, following the ouster of Mark McKenzie in southwestern Ontario and Stefan Marquis in Montreal. The Conservatives did not share a reason for why they dropped Singh, merely confirming that he was dropped as a candidate in a one-line email to CBC News. Quick... look over there... Quote

CouchPotato Posted April 2 Author Report Posted April 2 (edited) 14 minutes ago, TreeBeard said: What do you think of the Con candidate that got the boot by PP? Fair? Yes. The one who called for the execution of Trudeau, you mean? Absolutely. And the media didn't have to tell him to do it. Leadership. Carney defended it. And then called it a teachable moment. Very Trudeau-like. I seem to remember Trudeau using similar language whenever something bad came out about him. The important thing is we all learn something whenever the Liberals do something wrong.

TreeBeard Posted April 3 Report Posted April 3 (edited) Not a good look for the Conservatives or PP. The base won’t care, or will applaud this, but normal Canadians won’t support this position. Any predictions on whether PP pulls this guy’s nomination? I think he will. https://www.ctvnews.ca/federal-election-2025/article/conservatives-stick-by-candidate-accused-of-denying-history-of-residential-schools/ In videos posted on social media, Aaron Gunn — the Conservative candidate in North Island-Powell River in British Columbia — has said Canada’s program of residential schools did not constitute an act of genocide and that the schools are “much-maligned.” “The comments are reprehensible, especially to residential school survivors,” said Terry Teegee, regional chief of the British Columbia Assembly of First Nations.

The base won’t care, or will applaud this, but normal Canadians won’t support this position. More people think that than you would like to believe. The simple fact is that the school "tragedy" is overhyped and most people are sick of being called some sort of monster for it. Don't get me wrong it wasnt' great but it wasn't on par with the jewish genocide which is what advocates like to believe The only people offended by it are those who were never going to vote conservative in a million years anyway Meanwhile a liberal candidate calls for the capture and murder of a rival and the libs say "oh he can stay no problem". Sorry but they set that bar way too high Quote

Goddess Posted Saturday at 03:54 PM Report Posted Saturday at 03:54 PM On 4/1/2025 at 8:30 PM, CouchPotato said: Well, no it seems he originally thought an apology was enough for his disgusting comments. It wasn't until after the issue was reported to the RCMP and he felt he would be a liability to his own party that he decided to step down. But the larger issue here is that Mark Carney did not think it was a big deal for one of his candidates to suggest that someone hand a political opponent over to the Chinese consulate for a bounty. He called it a 'teachable moment'. A very weak response from a person who clearly is not suited to be a leader. Plus, the Libs have known about this incident since January. They only reacted to it when an independent journalist made it public.

TreeBeard Posted Sunday at 04:31 PM Report Posted Sunday at 04:31 PM A couple more Conservative candidates were turfed. One said his opponent t was “playing the victim card” as a survivor of the massacre at École Polytechnique. https://www.ctvnews.ca/federal-election-2025/article/tories-drop-quebec-candidate-who-said-massacre-survivor-was-playing-victim-game/ Another for implying Indians should be deported to be killed (?) by the Indian government. Yeah, it’s a weird premise. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/conservative-party-candidate-dropped-etobicoke-north-1.7500698 Quote
