I respect Charlie Angus because he has made a career for speaking up for the little guy, the minority and especially Indigenous Canadians.
He’s right on this point … any time a politician speaks, we have to hold them accountable for everything they say, suggest, imply or state outright. They don’t tease or speak off the cuff … everything they say is significant, even if it is from an idiot politician like Turnip.
And we all have a responsibility to call them out on their statements at every instance. If we allow them to overstep once, then they’ll take a step further and if we allow that next step, they’ll take another step again and on and on.
It’s the argument of the slippery slope … allow things to move a bit and its easy to stop … if you allow it to go on too much, too far and too fast … then it is far too difficult to stop.
We’re already careening down the slippery slope at breakneck speed.
I wish there was accountability. If you call them out, they gaslight, dodge, lie, etc. They found it’s easier to exhaust their critics than be truthful ever.
Even if Trump is “joking”, it’s that half-joking or trial-joking that bullies and fascists always do. Their humor is intended to be intimidating, and that’s what they find amusing about it. It’s “a joke” as long as they don’t have the opportunity to make it real, but if the opportunity arises, they will make it real. Other countries shouldn’t take Trump’s “jokes” about invading them or seizing their resources too lightly, and I hope they’re talking to one another about contingency plans since the USA can no longer be trusted as an ally.
Baby Orange is making it damn near impossible for us to have any decent relations with any nation other than Russia and Israel.
Which, if I had to guess, is the point of Agent Cheeto and his handler.
other than Russia and Israel.
Don’t forget about North Korea
Remember when everyone thought putin was bluffing about Ukraine? Now would be an appropriate time to learn our lesson from that.
Next thing we know, trump will be launching a special operation to ‘defend’ the culturally american regions of alberta. Although he won’t have to do much, considering who’s currently in charge of the province.
Edmonton is just waiting for that completely coincidental and not requested protection detail.
Canada MP goes NUCLEAR! Canada MP SLAMS Canada MP SAYS A THING
God modern journalism needs new words.
Anyways, all that being said, trumps bait was a major success. He has you talking about stupid shit while he does the real bad things over there, where you aren’t looking while paying attention to he dumbass mouth.
It’s going to be a real rooouuuggghhh four years. Stay safe everyone.
This is the only take in this thread with more than a single second of thought put into it so far. Kudos
