That's quite the whataboutism effort for someone claiming to be non-partisan. Bringing up something that a PM did 17 years ago to excuse a recent action (when someone did it in 2020 if you wanted a fresher example) is absolutely being partisan and that has nothing to do with RW populism as you claim.
I can find many many examples of you doing this that goes well beyond being upset with RW populism.
Are those your posts when Chemgear mentioned that Freeland had protestors interrupt her leadership bid? Once it was revealed it was in fact pro-Palestinian protestors (a cause you are a huge advocate of) you suddenly became completely silent and ignored the subject. You can bet if it was "RW media rabble rousers" you would have made several posts condemning it. Passing it as a reasonable question, when you probably searched for it online and got your hopes dashed.
It's totally fine to be completely against social conservatism (I am as well) and being a voice against it and against RW populism, but that doesn't seem to be what you are doing at all.
You've gone off the deep end.

Not going to derail any further, but I do feel I can defend against the Harper thing as, one, it was a jest and a referrer to another time PM used porogeing to save their political skin so I'm not sure how that's partisan, as I didn't say Trudeau was right either. "Both did the same thing you are complaining about" isn't all that partisan.
And yes, it was reasonable to ponder if Freeland had the same issue Carney had with fake news trying to stir stuff up. As to the Palestinian part of it, no I don't support those protests, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if they were put up to it by Russia, since Putin freakin' hates her, and has used the Hamas Israel conflict in the past to sow discord:

But at the time of the post, I didn't look into it. Still haven't really, but that's why I didn't comment. The reality is, the far right has been tearing our society to pieces over the past five years, so that's why I'm hard on them. And I'm even harder on politicians that choose to embrace and amplify their destruction because it's pretty clear where all this leads unchecked.
