Yeah, he's been on this anti-Canada kick since near the end of his Fox News career. Word was, he'd made a "movie" for airing on Fox News that urged an invasion because Trudeau was a communist. The sooner this propagandist is relegated to the wastebin of history, the better
Jamil Javani created the group Protect Christians Canada in December 2024, using the same kind of language and misinformation to justify their position. One thing that seems to be coming from the US evangelicals is this idea that religious rights are human rights. That Christians religious rights should take priority over personal rights because giving people personal rights is against their religious rights.
This kind of insane bullshit is the reality for many conservatives in Canada since Postmedia and the CPC seem to be courting it. If you look at Postmedia, then places like Rebel or Juno, and finally move onto Twitter, there is a ramping up of this same narrative. Where Postmedia has the volume turned to 3, Rebel is at 7 and Carlson is turned up to 11, but if you really listen, it's the same song and dance that relies on the same cognitive distortions.
Or shoved in a literal wastebin.
In fairness, you guys do have a lot of oil
We were feared by the Nazis. I think everyone forgets were insane.
Feared? Maybe Yaroslav Hunka was startled a bit by the sound of applause. But Canada's got something of a mixed reputation on fascism, historically speaking.
In WWII Nazi troops prefered fighting other people than Canadians is all I'm saying here.
I don't know what the above person was talking about, but Canada has a pretty insane military record. Not necessarily a great record. One made up of insanity. Our government is also just shy of explicitly pro fascist. I think the above person was referring to our military record. Not the invite Nazis to be celebrated inside the government record.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Nazi war criminals were welcomed into Canada. Jewish refugees into Canada were sent back into Nazi Germany. Nazi war criminals were openly celebrated in parliament. Government has materially supported genocide while saying that it's abhorrent. There's lots of examples. You just need to look
I'll grant you the post-WW2 stuff had a lot of shitty and sketchy thing attached.
I don't think what happened 80 years ago reflects the current state (or even structure) of our government today.
That's a bit of a stretch. The inability of some low level bureaucrat (an intern if I remember correctly) to do a basic amount of background research before extending an invite, doesn't exactly instantly mean a government is pro fascist. Like let's knock this back down from a ten to a two on the panic scale a bit.
If you wanted to argue that Canada as a whole has a checkered past of racism and arguably some fascist tenents, you aren't entirely wrong. We have historically treated the aboriginal population terribly, and this is their land. There's the mass graves of little children, that we kidnapped against their will, entrapped and abused, to contend with. We imprisoned innocent people with Japanese origins during WWII. Like we ain't perfect either, for sure.
Our oil is very dirty and expensive to extract. It’s highly susceptible to being made unprofitable every time oil prices drop.
You know what country has the most advanced infrastructure specifically designed to process Canadian heavy crude. That would be the United States.
Its the processing that happens on site that is insanely costly. The stuff is almost coal in viscosity, but doesn't burn because its mostly sand.
So is Venezuela's. Hasn't slowed them down.
Uh oh.
I didn’t really realize this. Yeah, Candanian invasion is probably a ticking clock…
