Hell, nobody at Postmedia was even stupid enough to put their name on that article. They know how that looks.

Lol, Canadian Conservatives and fascist Europeans. Name a better duo!

“This buffoon wants to teach us lessons.”

Trudeau's history of racism is destined to dog him for the rest of his life through this photo. I imagine it's hard for a lot of political leaders on the world stage to take him seriously and a reason he would be best served to keep his opinions to himself in front of his peers.

Two things can be true:

1. Justin Trudeau is a buffoon.
2. Justin Trudeau is probably right that regressive Italian policies targeting the LGBTQ+ community are bad, and fascists should be called out on it.

1 has been my private view for a long time, though I recognize it’s a matter of opinion. However 1 and 2 have nothing to do with one another, and trying to link them is just a version of the ad hominem fallacy.

I loathe Trudeau as much as the next guy and he is a clown and a buffoon....but Meloni is a piece of work. She is a hard line, far-right crazy person.

A Quebec charity suspected of hosting two secret Chinese “overseas police stations” has received more than $4.45 million (£2.65 million) from the Canadian government over the last three years.

According to the Montreal Gazette, the Service à la Famille Chinoise du Grand Montréal (SFCGM), which purports to provide support to the Chinese community, is really used by Beijing to monitor and intimidate its citizens in Canada.

The discovery that public money has been funnelled into Beijing’s outposts in Canada will be embarrassing for Justin Trudeau, the country’s Liberal prime minister.

Tasha Adams, a police spokesman, said the RCMP was investigating the SFCGM as part of a larger investigation intended to “detect and perturb criminal activities supported by a foreign state that can threaten the safety of people living in Canada”.

Never assume. That’s your first mistake.

I do like how you are JTs knight in shining armour whenever the blackface re-emerges. It kinda cute how you look out for him.

Sorry, not sure what this painfully cringe attempt at being clever is about. Who is defending him? lol

You’re saying you actually meant to side with the person who is quite literally a far right fascist? That’s pretty stupid and not cute at all.

Wrong again.

It actually just made me laugh.

We know. Most people try to laugh at fascists, not with them.

Stay classy, Doc.

I was laughing at the thought of JT grandstanding, telling the world how they should be doing “the right thing” and people responding with “why should we listen to you, blackface?”

He wasn’t telling the world. He was telling a country led by a far right fascist that they were moving in the wrong direction when it comes to LGBTQ rights, the other G7 leaders agreed with him, and some tenth-place right wing populist rag that nobody reads goofed on him.

Claiming to be easily amused is one thing, but laughing along with fascists when they dunk on Trudeau (or any leader) for standing up for LGBTQ rights that are currently in danger in that country? Man. Very cool. Great stuff.

[Doctorfever]

Ya ya. Got it.
Everyone should be taking advice from blackface.

Should just watch for the glass house thing.

Got what? Who said everyone should be taking advice from him?

Do you think Meloni’s views of LGBTQ people and Italy’s direction on that front are good things? or bad things?

Do you agree with them? Or disagree?

[Doctorfever]

I think JT would maybe get a little more respect on the world stage if not for the blackface scandals. Perhaps he would get taken more seriously if not for that (amongst other things).

Maybe others, like Meloni, would listen to his views.

[PepsiFree]

Neat, let’s pretend we can’t go back in time and erase the whole “multiple instances of blackface” thing from Trudeau’s past.

Do you agree that Canada and, by association, Trudeau (who, regardless of history, is our PM) has something worth saying when it comes to standing up on LGBTQ issues, especially toward fascists looking to remove or rollback LGBTQ rights? or do you think it’s funny when standing up for LGBTQ issues gets mocked?

[Doctorfever]

He can say what he wants.

What I am saying is that he would get more respect and people might actually listen and pay attention to him if not for the blackface scandals, amongst other things.

Barring his resignation for that, which won’t happen, who could speak that message and have the same impact as the PM? Or should Canada just stay silent?

[undercoverbrother]

Wow a page of a poster deflecting from showing support against Fascism.

What the #### is happening in this world.
