Freeland

[Pappywinkle]

Did we have this kind of crap in our country, to this extent, pre-2015?

Sure, we had protesters of Harper, we had mouthpieces that got the Shawinigan Handshake from Chretien, but in all my many, many years on this planet I've never seen stuff like this. Leaders like Harper and Chretien managed to keep the country quite peaceful and quite livable.

What happened to get us here? Why have we ended up with this garbage in our once respectful country in the last 7 years?

It was a better time when the worst abuse politicians received was a pie in the face, and sadly it has indeed gotten worse since 2015 which is when conservatives started losing elections. And with every subsequent election loss their emotional fragility increased. What happened to conservatives that make them so emotionally fragile that they ended up making garbage threats to elected officials like McDavid? And why aren't far right MPs calling out this extremism?

Elliot McDavid is a perfect embodiment of the far right - he truly checked all of the boxes: conspiracies, hatred, the WEF, anti-vax, and cowardice. And as evidenced here, his extremist and conspiratorial views are shared by other losers like him.

Right wing extremism is a disease that has no place in this great country.

Brian Lilley has a great piece about this today.

Unfortunately for the Trudeau cheerleaders on here, it dashes their lame attempts to appropriate the incident to any one group of people. But, it's 100% factual.

All of you here that are making unfounded accusations to fellow Canadians should read the link to the Toronto Sun posted above.
It concludes with this.
...and claims that it all comes from Conservatives who now must be punished won’t accomplish anything. Accusing some of your fellow Canadians of being the sole source of this anger will only stoke more anger.

Time for everyone to chill.

Precisely the nonsense we are discussing. What a silly response to a serious issue. Demagoguery has no place in a free and fair democracy.

I'm not in favour of this behavior, just as I wasn't in favour of Gordon Campbell being accosted back in the day in public all the time by brain-washed NDP idiots. I don't recall a lot of outrage at that time coming from those who are now pretending to be outraged by this Freeland nonsense. Not surprising at all.

The reaction from political Ottawa to this video was quick condemnation, as it should be. Despite Freeland’s many flaws and misguided policies, this isn’t how we settle disputes in Canada.

100% right. Freeland is an idiot, and completely unqualified for the job she has now. She shouldn't be running a lemonade stand, let alone the Canadian government. But this isn't the way to deal with such incompetence and stupidity. You vote it out. That's the only way.

People in Grand Prairie know they cannot vote Freeland out, though. They know Freeland's government is not accountable to them, not interested in them, and not willing to hear from them. And that is part of why so many people are so very angry - they feel they have no representation, there's no accountability. Social contract theory tells us a democracy is only a functioning democracy when the government is directly accountable to the governed - without that, we have a democracy in name only.

The other part of why so many Canadians are so very angry is because so many of their fellow Canadians are so quick to spit (metaphorically) all over anyone who voices concerns about the current government.

The hand-wringing over how this is just because Freeland is a woman is utter bunk. Freeland has been vile in her belittlement of Canadians, her sneering condescension toward those who dare question her and her government.

Yet there is NO way for those she sneers at and condescends toward and ridicules and ignores to vote her out.

Don’t care what your politics are. This is not acceptable

If you chose to serve the public you might get a tomato thrown at you if you are unpopular. Our leaders are free from fear.

If you screw up on your job are you afraid of homelessness and hunger?

Damn right you are, unless you are rich and work for fun.

If these people screw up they have money to fall back on, pensions and they won't lose their jobs. So they should be unafraid of failure AND free of criticism and honestly humiliation and shame? If a town is destroyed with their policies they should be able to freely walk around that town without fear of being yelled at?

The Kings want to ban tomatoes and hecklers, eh?

The press won't ask them tough questions. Everything scripted. No pressure there. No fear.

Now, no yelling from the peanut gallery. Only smiles - and if you want to protest well, dont do that either you Nazi.

Incoming next year - out of tune musicians will have the right to sue you if you "boooo" them and bad comedians will have the right to seek damages if you don't laugh at their jokes. They get triggered and nobody should have to live in fear (of their jokes failing).

So your degree of harassment is dictated by your income. Can you post your notice of assessment so I may appropriately judge what response is warranted?

[LordEd]

What income threshold before idiocy doesn't get a pass?

She should realize she is in politics, not a fairy tale. She should grow a thicker skin or find a way to give it right back to the hecklers. Or is she going to be like her boss who won't show up if there is a chance people don't like him. He's the one who caused the problem with those truckers. All he had to do is meet with them, but instead, he miraculously came into contact with his kid on the day the convoy arrived.

XXXXXX ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ something a leftist liberal Trudeau hand puppet would never do or understand .....

Pot, meet kettle.

Noted for future reference or government change. If the government doesn't make a policy you agree with it is acceptable to aggressively harass or intimidate them.
