One of my Canadian friends sent this to me...
The cancer is spreading.
As a Canadian I can attest to that; the cancer is spreading. Canadians still have some faith in their government, that it can do good things, but like Ukraine, how can it survive constant bombardment? (a conspiracist friend in Georgia kept sending me news of how Trudeau is a communist dictator). Go figure.
ReplyDeleteIt's spreading into Europe, too. Steve Bannon is Putin's best ally.
ReplyDeleteThis was a very unsettling article. We Cdns are sometimes far too smug thinking 'this shit will never happen here!" But a very alt right politician just won re-election as premier of Ontario with an even larger majority than he received the first time around even though he oversaw the slashing of health care budgets and rotting long term care facilities that would lead to literally 1000's of deaths during the early waves of COVID; and the potential new leader of the Federal Conservative Party and potential future PM is a bat shit crazy alt right wing who worships Trump and his kind. And don't forget the trucker blockades that really were populated by not just anti-vaxxers but also neo-Nazis Proud Boy type men and women.
ReplyDeleteLeftField - Lots of dimwits in existence.
ReplyDeletePat - My friend in Spain says that they have twitter-ass wannabes running the government.
Anon@9:06am - Sinclair Lewis wrote "It Can't Happen Here" decades ago but, unfortunately, it's happening everywhere.
We are complacent. We have been silent too long. Do what you can. Say something. Do something. Stand for something.
ReplyDeleteAsa Canadian, it is scary! I live in redneck Alberta, I see these right wing crazies here!
ReplyDeleteLuv - They are everywhere these days.
ReplyDeleteOK, luv chocolate said, Alberta is the most «conservative» province in Canada and the «maybe» future Canadian Conservative Parti leader is just in their way of thinking. But there is a Québécor named Jean Charest who is also in the race and he has more suporters than the one from Alberta.
ReplyDeleteI live in Province of Québec a French speaking province and almost as populated as Ontario so we have more leverage in elections than like Alberta and we are more on the left side of the politics in Canada.
Yes, the Conservative Doug Ford was re-elected in Ontario for 4 years but the last COVID years did change him in the way he had to manage hand in hand with Jutin Trudeau in Ottawa who is the leader of the Canadian Liberal Parti.
In Canada, we are witnessing ALL what is going on in USA and the way we do our politics is far from the way you do in USA. We have 5 parties in Ottawa and this prevent any polarization of ideas here. Our parties even the Conservatives are more «liberal» than any USA's parties.
The CANCER shown here for now is far from having the majority of Canadians citizens interest. We saw the 4 years of Trump in the White House and that made us very scared about that kind of «dictatorship».
PS. Ottawa has declare Proud Boys as an «criminal» group and our GRC did enquiries and their assets were seized and many have to face justice here.
PS.2 Trudeau is now setting a bill so handguns will be banned in the future. All those illegal weapons are sadly coming from USA...
JiEL - I'm glad Proud Boys assets were seized! Handguns are peanut shooters compared to the AR-15.
ReplyDeleteRicko, in Canada you can NEVER own such mass destruction weapons as AR-15 or any other same type of guns. There are NO normal stores where you can go in and buy such weapons.
ReplyDeleteGoing in public even with a «knife» is ILLEGAL here. NO Canadians could go on the streets carying any kind of weapons.
Who needs such weapons in a PEACEFUL well protected by policemen environnement.
The very few non mass shootings we had in the last weeks were street gangs who were in war between each others and did it to kill an ennemy, bad guy mostly young men.
@ Jiel: Going in public even with a «knife» is ILLEGAL here. NO Canadians could go on the streets carying any kind of weapons.
ReplyDeleteLike in Italy. If you want to have a weapon, you must have a particular license and a particular reason.
