There's obvious astroturfing going on. Our housing is unaffordable and it's causing several other spiralling crises. Blame Indians blame Indians blame Indians blame Indians blame Indians, not the landlords driving up rents, the governments enabling them, and the developers blocking the construction of new housing because that might drive rents down. The r/Canada sub is entirely controlled by bots that want to push a particular narrative.

i bought my partner a robot vacuum because he keeps borrowing mine and has anthropomorphized it and whenever it runs out of battery and gets caught behind some boxes under the bed he's like "oh no he got scared and is hiding" and i'm sick and tired of it. i want him to be hiding under my couch in his own home, not in an unfamiliar place where the poor little guy is probably terrified

Lol I never saw Putin's incredibly based response to our MPs giving an SS vet a unanimous standing ovation

Putin posted:

If the Canadian Parliament speaker says that the Canadian-Ukrainian or the Ukrainian-Canadian Nazi fought against the Russians during World War Two, he cannot but understand that he fought on Hitler’s side, not on the side of his motherland, Canada, or was a fascist collaborationist. In any case, he was fighting on the side of Nazi troops. Let’s say he does not know that. In no way do I want to hurt the feelings of the people of Canada. Despite everything, we treat Canada with respect, especially its people. But if he does not know that during World War Two, it was Hitler and his minions who fought against Russians, then he’s an idiot. That means he did not study in school, has no elementary knowledge. But if he knows that this person fought on Hitler’s side and calls him a hero of Ukraine and a hero of Canada, then he’s a bastard. It’s one way or another.

It's cool how quickly people just kinda moved on from that insanely epic moment in Canadian politics

My wife's aunt proudly proclaimed she was against communism this xmas dinner because her dad fought against the communists in WW2. (He didn't, he was fighting Nazis).

We were discussing visiting Cuba and the hatred just spewed out.

every time i see an mp say something about rising tides of antisemitism in canada all i can think is that a pretty antisemitic thing to do would be to applaud a nazi collaborator in parliament

Applauding a nazi gets tossed from the conversation because it would require every party to accept culpability but that would never happen because it's easier to use a catastrophic fuckup to throw mud at your political opponents.

it gets tossed because it would bring up uncomfortable conversations about the ukrainian diaspora in canada, the links they have with major canadian institutions including the state, universities and the RCMP, Political Activities during the years 1941-45, and in the cold war on canadian soil, canadian judges clearing the good name of the Waffen SS galicia division, canadian support of modern neo nazis in ukraine in the last few years, and so on

basically it wasn't a 'fuckup' in the sense that they brought in the wrong guy - he's a Hero in the eyes of various people who actually matter in Canada. the problem was that anyone noticed and what that implies about us, anticommunism and the west in general

Any degree of scrutiny reveals that they got so out of touch with the public they thought they could really parade around a genuine nazi and the public would eat it up. Our leaders were mainlining so many NAFO tweets they forgot normal people exist and don't like nazis. Freedland's hands in that interview say it all.

Of course anyone that could publically scrutinize this won't, for reasons. We all just have to pretend this was a big oopsie. I do think a number of people took note though. My mom used to do Hansard work and it really stuck out to her. She's said she knows someone is lying because he'd have been vetted, no one gets invited in like that without many people looking him over, plus his intro was written by someone, and approved by others. She's otherwise a left-sympathizing liberal.
