    I really wish people would stop thinking of left and right, or blue and red or whatever. It makes it so people can take the shitty actions of one side eons ago to justify sometimes even worse actions later.

    “You think this is bad. The other side did this totally unrelated bad thing that one time, so this is ok!!”

    Danielle Trump is the topic and she is not ok. No amount of baddie talk about whoever you deem is worse changes that.

      My guy, it’s not some ancient history by a fringe group. Trudeau himself was so far into it that he literally accused his own government of committing an active genocide.

        “I don’t know what genocide is, so fuck the ‘left’” is a hell of a take. Definitely doesn’t paint you out to be unworthy of listening to on anything.

            “Framing genocide in Canada as an accumulation of actions and omissions over decades, the report says…” Trudeau acknowledged it, but this is not strictly a Liberal or Conservative thing. If you think it is, you need to do some research

            Not seeing “my own government is actively committing genocide” in your source. Can you show that to me?

        You are missing the point.

        Using unrelated things to justify something bad, isn’t good.

        You can bring up whatever you want, from whenever, involving whomever. None of it makes the current premier of Alberta any less of a traitor to Canada.

          When the question is Canadian unity, a history of championing the destruction of Canada is in no way what so ever irrelevant.

            Again. Attempting to deflect.

            If your strongest argument for her is things others have done. You might want to find someone else to defend.
