Why would Stastny's comments be a deterrent from acquiring Sheifele? It seems to me the guy doesn't have the best grip on reality if he's donating to a cause with explicit intention of supplanting Canadian democracy and terrorizing the citizens of our capital.
It seems to me that you don't have any grip on reality at all if you think that's what the trucker convoy was about. Unless by ‘Canadian democracy’ you mean a system where the vote is virtually meaningless, weak minority governments act as if they had a massive popular mandate and ignore all opposition, Parliament is routinely bypassed in favour of orders in council, important policies are decided by fiat without public consultation, and people don't even have the right to protest against the policies that are pushed on them. If that is indeed what you mean by ‘Canadian democracy’, we would be far better off to supplant it with a government that could actually be held accountable for its actions.

But God forbid that anyone who doesn't agree with your politics should be allowed to play hockey.
