It's reverse terrorism, like reverse racism. It's also a loving stupid thing to say and I hope he gets raked over the coals for it.

For decades, the National Post has been making principled stands on the issues that matter. Let's have a look back at some of the moral victories they've scored. - They were big proponents of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. They furiously criticized Prime Minister Chrétien for his decision not to join the invasion, calling it a huge mistake and a betrayal. - They were dead against gay marriage. It would undermine the sanctity of marriage and pretty soon we'd have people marrying their cousins, total moral collapse! - They endorsed Stephen Harper's Conservative Party in 2004, 2006, 2008, 2011, and 2015. They endorsed Stockwell Day and the Canadian Alliance in 2000. - They published a false report that Iran was going to start making Jews wear badges - They've backed Israel 100% in every situation forever - They think BDS is the worst form of anti-semitic censorship. Meanwhile, blackballing anyone who supports BDS is a moral imperative. - They've published editorials defending Michael Vick, Bill Cosby, Jian Gomeshi, Conrad Black, and that guy who was recorded beating his dog on an elevator security camera. - They published articles personally attacking a climate scientist, who later won a defamation suit against them. - They think trans people should not be allowed in public bathrooms or to really exist at all - They publish a regular column by Rex Murphy Juul-Whip fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Jan 30, 2017 |

That seems reasonable but I'm still going to go with him being a terrorist and indoctrinating the poor white guy and then Gerry Butts making this fleeing story up to help out his buddy Trudeau. Classic Butts.

If your first thought upon hearing a minority community institution in North America was shot up is that, why, it was probably members of that minority that did it, you are a broken toy and need thrown out. Now, if you stick to that theory even after it's disproven, I just can't even...

If a reputable source (La Presse) says one of the shooters is Moroccan, it is not unreasonable to think this, or at least consider it a possibility. But yeah, it all makes much more sense if he didn't do it.

In an age of global news coverage when you hear on the news that a mosque got shot up or blown up it often is an act of sectarian violence committed by an adherent Islam but that's because a lot of the time it's news of a mosque attack occurring in the Middle East. It's not surprising that people were wondering if it was another sectarian attack, especially with reports of a Moroccan being an arrested suspect along with a lilly white boy, considering there have been acts of violence being carried out by Islamic converts of European decent.

quote:An act that goes against a muslim community here, that's something we didn't see coming. We could have imagined the opposite, that a muslim community, an extremist muslim group, might commit an act, but that we, someone from another community attacks muslims, that's reverse terrorism if you'll forgive the term. gently caress offfffffffffffffffff

Don't forget Connie's ongoing Trump rehabilitation project, where Trump is popular and--well, he's GOING TO BE popular, any minute now, and he's fine and reasonable and there's nothing weird about anything he does and he's definitely going to give me a pardon any day now. Also, the climate scientist was an MLA, a Green Party MLA no less, and if you can't even talk poo poo about the Green Party without getting sued and losing you blew it pretty badly. Corcoran didn't even lose his job for it!

PostMedia has also been slashing local newsrooms and populating their papers with the same wire-based coverage and chain-wide opinion writers. Local editorial control is constantly being diminished. http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/postmedia-job-cuts-1.3410497
