A Conservative MP wants to identify federal public servants or members of the Canadian Armed Forces who sympathize with the left-wing#antifa#movement.
Edmonton MP Garnett Genuis has asked federal departments and agencies, as well as the military, if any of their employees are now, or have ever been, members of the decentralized protest movement that stands in opposition to fascist and far-right ideologies.

what a piece of #### loser. but we already knew that.

Guess the people who own this guy demanded he ask these questions.

I would describe the area he is the MP of as very white, and they like it that way.

Which leads to the question of why the #### would anyone want a system where such a small portion of the population of a gigantic control has such enormous top down control. We're a two party, single house democracy with highly centralized control in the PMO and it has continually gotten worse decade over decade.

FPTP, population disparities, and historical norms just exaggerate what is a heavily flawed system modelled out of the hundreds of year old logic of Aristocracy. Where as I told the other guy, literally pick another system at random and it would be better than ours.

Or...just protest vote the NDP in. I moved to a swing state, and I'll tell you it is amazing. It is exactly how BBS mentioned, and personally I've voted for 3 different parties, and am ready to go for a fourth.

His name makes me giggle.

Dude is going to get absolutely eviscerated in the HoC.


Why are these clowns so goddamn stupid? How did they get elected, let alone open the door to leave their home in the morning?

They got money from the right people and are willing to loudly announce they hate the right people.

Good grief, this is just so incredibly stupid. I hate this timeline so much.

I believe he represents the modern Conservative Party though. Hard to even imagine them having the discipline to govern a country.

Glad I voted against that loser. His wife is also a teacher and he voted to use the NWC. Also pro life. Just a real gem.

I know it's French, but it is quite fitting that something so stupid was proposed by someone whose name is also a common misspelling of the word 'genius'.
