The people that make these in their basements, the people that share these from their trailers, and the people that believe these that live in the same society as you and I are what's truly worrying.

I assume it was done as a pure troll job but people took it seriously. I think there's people who try to push things as ridiculously as possible and see what sticks. Look at QAnon

But yeah the people who share this stuff in earnest are concerning.

Probable made by troll farms. A lot of these memes come from places like Russia.

The Parksville office of Courtenay-Alberni MP Gord Johns has been hit by vandals.

On Tuesday morning (Feb. 22), the office in the Parksville Heritage Center along the Island Highway, had several broken windows, with two large holes in the main window and a single shattered hole in the office door.

Are you a lap dog automatically because you agree with the governments measures?

Who says Jack Layton wouldn’t have also agreed… lol… not the way to romanticize a guy who died.

Jagmeet obviously is just a puppet for the libs though. Without supporting the libs the NDP would he completely powerless. He can put up this BS about having the parties goals at top of mind etc. but during the debates prior to the election it was pretty clear the guy is not anyone the NDP will succeed with.

The New York Times, Economist and Financial Times are all respected, upstanding, serious-minded publications with global audiences that look to them for accurate and well-informed coverage. And each of them thinks Justin Trudeau blew it when he seized on the Emergencies Act to end the siege in Ottawa’s streets.
https://apple.news/Au4Iggtu-Qiyy30vPhU-Rfg

The world over doesn’t respect JT, at least he looked “boss” for 30 seconds in a planned photoshoot lol

Pretty insane we’ve got serial Rapists out in the streets, repeat violent firearm offenders (who JT pretends to have a hard on for as well) and all sorts of heinous criminals, and none of them are subject to the treatement people who donate $50 to a protest are lol.. fuck are we going backwards.

Instead of digging your heels in like an ideologue, who Manic clearly is by the anti-trump rhetoric in his signature...why not open a book or 2 to discover why some of the anger and frustration has been brewing within western nations over the last decade which has propagated figures just like him across the globe.

Im anti trump but the chickens of nightmarish neo-liberal policy are coming home to roost, and to scuff it off as "angry dumb rednecks" is myopic and short sighted AT BEST....and many of these COVID "policies" sent the neo lib agenda into hyper drive stoking fires of anger.

Or continue to cheer on ham handed authoritarian-esque measures deployed by the Liberals under the thin veneer of "social justice" from foreign actors influencing sovereign western governments.

That story of a single mother having her bank account frozen for donating $50 was complete b.s. not surprising multiple con mp's fell for simular fake stories. https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2022/0...bank-accounts/

Well global reporting over 60 “random assaults” over the weekend in Vancouver alone.

The soft on crime approach doesn’t seem much of a deterrent for your loved one getting sucker punched walking through DT

I don't know about Washington Times, but isn't Toronto Sun a tabloid?

[EDIT] Washington Times is a conservative outlet according to Wiki

Headline saying that JT is ready to turn off Emergency Act this afternoon. It's the right step if it has served it's purpose.

The discontent began much earlier than any COVID measures. Yes, these are people that feel disenfranchised, left out of this global centric market.

The problem is that the politicians that they support (hyper libertarian ideologues) are the same folks pushing this rush to the proverbial bottom. They simply utilize populism to get these folks onboard, meanwhile they vote against their own better interests.

So yes I agree, these people do have issues that need to be heard, the problem is they're attaching themselves to the wrong mouthpiece.
