A few years ago, I think on truth and reconciliation day or remembrance day or something, Trudeau had plans to go to Tofino with his family. It was widely publicized and he had to cancel it and go to some events or something instead. All the save the children types probably latched on to it and decided Tofino is the centre of something now.

On one hand I'm glad some of the people suckered into that bullshit aren't so over the edge that they were able to recognize what was going on and rat them out.

On the other hand watching convoy fucks try to "detain" Toronto and Ottawa riot cops would have been truly premium content.

I think she's in Parksville? I know Parksville area is an insane hotbed of this sort of conspiracy poo poo. There were some recent cases where entire condo buildings had their strata vote to no longer recognise the government of canada. Wild wild stuff. There's a massive over-representation of a very particular demographic of middle class old people around there that eat this poo poo up.

that was literally the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, two years ago. Because it was declared a stat holiday, PMJT treated it like one and so went surfing in Tofino. Iirc the pictures the media posted was him on a beach, all dressed up and had a board in hand.

Let's take a breath, friend. Do you think 33% of Canadians(most of them getting fuckin old as poo poo) would kidnap the PM to instill fascism but dumber? They might call him an invective, but most people just want their creature comforts at the end of the day. We are seeing a very vocal minority of the wrong, the low IQ, certain specific personality types, assholes, bandwagoners, racists, PP members, cops, former wild Rose party members, truckers that have been doing amphetamines for 40 years, etc.

If you spend any time in conservative areas you'll see that actually a very high percentage of people there would absolutely support the violent overthrow of Trudeau. It might not be 33 percent of the country but it's absolutely not fringe.

If if had to wager off my totally subjective personal experience, I'd pin it at 4%-8% of the population that is that far gone. And then another 4%-8% on top of that who would be happy to see him removed from power, even if it was by extra-judicial means, but without the violent part at the end.

Pretty wild that an insurrectionist cult is just going around bullying communities in Saskatchewan, though a friend in Saskatoon informs me Scott Moe's response of "We'll figure out a way to coexist with the insurrectionist cult" is pretty much the expected response from him.

Yeah, from the Calgary viewpoint, I'd say these numbers are mostly correct, at least for this area. There's still very strong Conservative support, but in a way that would have Trudeau removed at the ballot box, or in a very decorous fashion by the courts (somehow?). Essentially the equivalent of the folks in the GOP who mostly approve of what Trump did, but found his attacks on democracy and his crass behaviour very unbecoming.

That's not really praise, but I wouldn't worry about the Fascist Revolution starting here. I suspect the numbers are worse in rural areas across the country -- and I mean across the country not just on the Prairies. The good thing is: there's gently caress-all people there, relatively speaking.

Okay well that's something. I thought it had something to do with Trudeau's vacation there but that was 2 years ago.

quote:

“Phase one was Toronto financial district, phase two was Ottawa Parliament Buildings and phase three was Tofino,” Ledgerwood reiterated to PressProgress. “That’s what they said, they were going to Tofino where the Masons were.”

Still seems so random. Like there is a Masonic Lodge in Tofino but there's nothing special about it. What makes it the head? lmao

When i first heard of that situation i looked up Richmound, Saskatchewan, and the town is 40% baseball diamonds for some reason.



Their population is around 140, which means they can't even form enough teams to occupy all the baseball diamonds.

There was definitely something nefarious going on before the cult even showed up.

I wasn't entirely convinced that those were all baseball diamonds but I checked out streetview and yeah...all sports fields.
