http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-far-right-la-meute-1.3876225 Well gently caress. Shows that I've been sticking away from Qc politics for too long when I hadn't even heard of this yet. Quebec might need antifas sooner than expected once again. There's a pretty healthy leftist coalition in the cities, but not so much in the more rural places where these groups seem to be gathering.

Playing the decency card in the race for head of the conservative party seems like a dubious strategy but more power to him for trying. Meanwhile, the President of our neighbour to the south just fired the acting Attorney General. Interesting times we're living in.

i actually accidentally went to a La Muete recruitment drive thing at a church in Montreal last summer. I left pretty quickly (not white) but it seemed mostly business professional dudes and they were quite well organized for knuckledraggers my biggest takeaway was that they did not seem to be hurting for money. It wasn't immediately apparent what i had shown up for. edit: as it was a recruitment drive i'm sure they were trying to put their best foot forward lowly abject turd fucked around with this message at 09:52 on Jan 31, 2017 |

I wish I was capable of coming up with a better solution than 'some muthafucks just need to get hit'.

"This mosque attack is no accident: It's a direct result of demagogues and wannabe demagogues playing to fears and prejudices" Enh, I don't think Chong or you are correct. One data point is pretty slim to say that something is the direct result of something else and it's natural for everyone to be looking for a cause and solution in the wake of such a tragedy. A little disappointed in Chong for being so aggressively political with it before the bodies are in the ground. If you are correct and it takes infrastructures of hate to build these mass murdering terrorists, Trump would also probably be correct to block people from countries with a high frequency of terrorism that would indicate a lot of investment in their hate infrastructure. I don't think you're correct though.

You see this often on the Internet whenever Reddit or whatever bans safe spaces for idiots who want to mock some random group or whatever. Most people don't get that their free speech safe spaces only exist for as long as the private entity cares to have you around or doesn't notice your existence. If I were Google, I'd go and ban The Rebel from existing on YouTube and I wouldn't be violating their right to free speech by doing that.

Ya I know that even in the US freedom of speech is only a contract between the state and the populace and even that isn't 100% absolute even in that case but ya try to shut down a thread on an Internet site or have a restaurant try to kick someone out for saying gross disparaging things towards other patrons and it's nothing but 'THIS IS 'MURICA YOU CANT DO THAT!' Of course that starts spilling up here and you start listening to goobers talking about hate speech laws being against the constitution, forgetting what country they're in.

They took the guy alive, so I guess we just need to wait for info to come out like with Moncton. The debate now is whether we should be angry that the Prime Minister called it a terrorist attack right away. In the absence of any clear motive, all we can do is try to make inferences from reports that the guy acted like a shithead on Facebook. infernal machines posted:I think there's an argument to be made that 4chan and parts of reddit are working just as hard to radicalize as any ISIS twitter account or forum. I don't disagree, and I think more people are coming around to this. After all, Pepe is in the SPLC's hate symbol list now.

OSI bean dip posted:How long did it take to call the Parliament Hill shooting a terrorist attack? I don't think it matters. Oh, that was within a couple of hours, but that was a Conservative PM and a soldier was murdered. Later, it turned out the mentally ill homeless drug addict who did it pledged his allegiance to ISIL beforehand. Old Stock Canadians are upset the Liberal PM inferred that Muslims who were murdered while praying are Canadians and that this is somehow terrorism when a Muslim apparently didn't do it. News outlets are publishing think pieces asking "Is this terrorism?" when we still don't have a clear motive from the accused himself. It's also important to note that he hasn't been charged with terrorism offenses yet. I don't know if he will be. Obviously, Trudeau and Couillard calling it terrorism were doing it for political reasons. My point is that in the info vacuum, this is what's being debated by the people.
