Well, it's not illegal to be a nazi, or walk around, or associate with other nazis, so it's probably good that nobody's taking it upon himself to make up rules about how it is and arrest people for no reason, but yeah that doesn't really explain why the peaceful anti-fascists (cf. "antifa") aren't allowed to do the same thing. It's not like the nazis pay a mortgage on the place. Good policing isn't about BEEP BOOP LAW ROBOT, it's about guiding people towards the resolution to their problems and not interrupting them while they're sorting their own poo poo out, which it sounds like the anti-fascists were doing just fine on their own.

Where it went wrong is when the guys in helmets and body armour started disturbing the peace tumultously; inciting hatred and assaulting people. They ought to have gone to jail for that. Also why is pan man walking around?

The more of a shitheel your guy is, the more orthodox your execution of your duties needs to be.

Maybe doug ford should just outlaw events that would be protested by the far-right so people don't start fights any more.

Considering the frequency that the far-right consumes itself that would mean every event. Brilliant!

Pan man is walking around because Hamilton police have all but said they're not going to charge anyone on the alt-right and are instead using the current tumult as a reason to go after anarchists again.

The skirmish was like four people trading blows in the mall, it was as close to a non-event as possible given the circumstances.

Three anarchists in Hamilton have been arrested so far and, despite a formal criminal complaint against helmet guy, they haven't done poo poo. HPS basically escorted him to Toronto to beat people at a second parade. I have heard from HPS folks that this is because they don't think anarchists will cooperate as victims in the case, and it's HPS department policy to require that for assault charges. However, the anarchists violated their parole or probation by getting beaten up.

There is a day of action on Friday (more details and backstory here too) and it would be nice for you to submit a complaint or do some postering if the current situation bothers you.

Update: helmet guy was arrested and charged with assault with a weapon, bail denied

Here's some good news, which I take strongly as it's from a National Post opinion piece

quote:

Bob Bratina, a Liberal MP from Hamilton, Ont., said the Ford factor is a real positive for his party on the doorsteps. “When Ford’s name comes up, it is with a tone of disgust,” he said.

When Ford’s name comes up, it is with a tone of disgust

Opposition MPs admit privately the tactic is working, and that they are also hearing the Ontario premier’s name unprompted at the doors. “It is a live issue,” said one MP.


Erin O’Toole, the former veterans affairs minister and Conservative MP for Durham, said that his response when the Ford government is raised is to point out funding cuts are the consequence of letting Liberals into government for multiple terms. “I say, ‘If you want to avoid belt-tightening, make sure we’re in’. I urge them to hold the line and not give Trudeau a second term,” he said.

But that pushback appears to be having limited success.

“Soccer moms don’t like Doug,” said one Ontario Conservative. “Those dual-income families in the 905 are with us when we talk about lower taxes, tight finances, safe communities and support for families. But if they think we are mean-spirited or out of step with the mainstream, they leave us in droves.”

The message that Ford and Scheer are soulmates will resonate even more strongly in the event of a teacher strike.

imo if the NP is openly fretting about this, it's a pretty big deal.

I've taken my kids to emergency in Toronto maybe half a dozen times, never waited more than an hour to get assessed and usually out of there in 3 hours.

I wonder if maybe having a raging rear end in a top hat for a father is the problem here.

the Canadian side should not naively believe that its so-called allies can really make concrete efforts for Canada's interests. What they are doing at most is lip service, because after all it is a matter between China and Canada.

That matter of the US demanding someone be arrested pursuant to a treaty; that thing that is definitely between China and Canada.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention, Trudeau’s name sounds like potato (literally Earth Bean) in Mandarin which means that my fiancé’s mom and all her friends refer to him as 小土豆 (Little Potato).

They have also all disavowed Trudeau as their choice for the election because of the Meng affair and being very influenced by WeChat news shares, which parrot state lines. Chinese boomer internet culture is terrifying.
