Things are very strange these days. Find these ignorant racists  and punish them.

and respect for Law, order, institutions of government, matters not to these dopes.

 

Residential school deniers tried to dig up suspected unmarked grave sites at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School, not believing a May 2021 announcement from the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc that as many as 215 Indigenous children had been buried there, according to a new report.

"Denialists entered the site without permission. Some came in the middle of the night, carrying shovels; they said they wanted to 'see for themselves' if children are buried there," said a Friday report from Kimberly Murray, the independent special interlocutor for missing children and unmarked graves and burial sites associated with Indian Residential Schools.

This is ghoulish, disgusting, and of course, the next logical step for those assholes.

I'm at a loss for words. Who would lie about something like this and what in god's green earth would lead you to the belief someone would. This is beyond even racism.

Pausing my "ignore you" function just long enough to correct you - David Johnston has never been on the Board of Directors of the Trudeau Foundation. 

Not all of us believe PeePee's lies.

 

Split hairs if you want to. He is a member, one of 30, that oversees the Trudeau foundation and has been since 2018. If you think that whether he was currently on the BOD or not matters then you are just too partisan to see the forest through the trees and you can continue ignoring. You guys are really reaching for excuses now. It was a terrible decision to appoint Johnston and any criticism of it is completely and 100% warranted and is not partisan in any way, shape. or form. It was HYPER partisan of Trudeau to appoint him.

PP just needs to find enough idiots to vote for him. There seem to be many. 

Count me as a person who will vote for him. If that makes me an idiot in your eyes so be it. I've been called worse by better people.

On one hand you lament the crazies taking over conservative parties and hope the moderates can reclaim control, on the other hand you blindly keep voting for them giving them exactly 0 reason to change.

Not to point out the obvious but you wouldn't vote for him. You'd vote for the Clown Party of Canada candidate in your riding.

Why accuse others of being partisan when all you do is **** on everything the current sitting gov't does, make awful excuses for the opposition and its "leader," and then tell the rest of us here that you're a moderate/centrist voter while proclaiming your intention to vote for a non-centrist candidate* who's said and done some very disgusting things?

No. No, it was not. There was nothing "HYPER partisan" about the appointment.

You decry how the lunatic fringe is taking over politics, yet you encourage this odious behavior by supporting it... How do you justify that? I mean really, how do you square that logic?

Either Poilievre is terribly uninformed or he’s misleading people intentionally. BC has had its own price on pollution since 2008 with the support of both major provincial parties - and the majority of British Columbians.

In response to numerous media reports, the RCMP can confirm it is not investigating allegations of political interference in the trial of SNC Lavalin.

Lies don't matter when your target audience doesn't value truth.

[Rod Black]

are political interference and obstruction of justice the same thing? 
 

the RCMP created both documents.

This target audience doesn’t value, doesn’t care and/or doesn’t understand how truth comes into being.
 

All that matters is it fitting the narrow comfortable view of how they see the world.

Voters in the Montreal-area riding of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce–Westmount have elected Liberal Anna Gainey to Parliament. (results)

Gainey beat Green Party co-leader Jonathan Pedneault, a political neophyte who was elected along with MP Elizabeth May last year to lead the party. Pedneault is on track to finish second.

...voters in the Manitoba riding of Portage-Lisgar have elected Conservative Branden Leslie to the House of Commons, CBC News projects. (results)

Leslie had a commanding 69 per cent of the vote cast as of 10:30 p.m. ET — a tally that suggests he's likely to trounce his main opponent, People's Party Leader Maxime Bernier.

...Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre visited the riding and used rhetoric targeting the World Economic Forum — an international organization that has become a focus of many right-wing conspiracy theories online — during a stump speech.

...voters have returned school principal and former political staffer Ben Carr to represent Winnipeg South Centre the House of Commons, CBC News projects. As of 11:15 p.m., the Liberal had about half of the vote. (results)

Carr was running to replace his late father, Jim, who died of cancer in December.

Oxford, a largely rural riding in southwestern Ontario, has been held by a Conservative since the Progressive Conservative and Canadian Alliance parties merged in the early 2000s. (results)

Longtime Conservative MP Dave MacKenzie triggered the byelection when he stepped down in January.

In an unusual move, MacKenzie and his daughter have endorsed the Liberal candidate, David Hilderley...

Speaking to the Canadian Press on Monday, MacKenzie said the party infighting has resulted in "the nastiest campaign that we've ever seen in our riding."

Mad Max got dusted. Again. LOL

If you consider the sweep of "conservatism" in North America over the last 15 years--from Rob Ford's crack- & booze-addled misrule, to Trump's circus, to rock-throwing neo-Confederate "**** Trudeau" mobs, to Peterson's benzo-fueled meltdowns, to Romana Didulo's freakshow...

...it's hard not to conclude that "conservatism"--once a dignified political orientation with articulate exponents--is simply a burlesque pageant of human failure populated exclusively by the emotionally broken, socially maladaptive, and intellectually pauperised.
