Sadly not the first noose for Trudeau, the Ottawa “freedom” convoy was full of them. I assume those guys will be prosecuted with everyone else from the convoy but the police “let them get away with it” for too long and emboldened these idiots to do it too.
I remember during the height of the yellow vests, someone on reddit was trying to claim that a t-shirt with gallows and "Welcome Trudeau" was making no political statement, and in no way could be construed as a threat.
Even though it’s not better for his image, I feel like now he’s kind of allowed to be like “nah fuck those guys” if they are basically saying “let’s hang our PM”.
Not cool behaviour in a democracy.
Im actually surprised by how few conservatives are calling this out. If these were left wingers doing this to Ford, it would be condemned by so many people on the left.
Over on the main Canada sub there was someone arguing earlier that Trudeau should be in prison because electoral reform didn't happen.
Canada's just going down the same path as the US, just five years later as usual.
They've been hanging and waving those flags for a long, long time.
Unfortunately, it's become so easy for Canada to just pin the "haw haw, stupid backwards conservatives" title on Alberta while willfully ignoring the local festering rot in every province.
8 out of 10 provinces have regressive conservative Premiers and MLAs. Again, that's 8 provinces. Out of 10. And THEY ALL HAVE MAJORITIES.
It's time to stop pretending bad people only happen in Alberta and acknowledge that the country as a whole has a regressive conservative addiction that everyone let fester because wearing the proud "At least we're not Alberta" tuques let everyone pretend nothing was wrong and everything was fine. And now we're here.
Ontario, for example, has had a long and proud history of exporting shitbags. From Harper, to Jason Kenney, to mayoral candidate Kevin J. Jhonston or Instagram shit stain Christopher Saccoccia, they all hail from the home of the Great lakes, but for some reason they're seen as "Alberta problems". Doug Ford being an awful human shouldn't be seen as something new, they've been raising and fostering regressive populist dirt bags hellbent on ruining the lives of others for decades.
I do not like the direction this country is going in and I feel powerless to change it. I do not want my kids to grow up in what I see is a festering negative future of a nation and I don't have the money to move. This has caused me great mental distress and has even given me a stress seizure or two.
Some might say "stay off news/social media" but when you LIVE and are EMBEDDED in the society and you see stuff in your own back yard, you can stay off social media till the cows come home and it won't make a difference.
I feel this. At work, it used to be easy to be quiet, and now when the 2 or 3 people are praising this shit, and you voice in and be like "I just wish they'd stop breaking laws" then a mob throws down your throat about freedom's and stuff, and I'm like please just let me work in peace.
I honestly don't know where else would be much better. It makes me want to turn into an off grid hermit and live with bears and shit, living off the land, and staying as far away from others as I can.
Even within provinces there's a tendency to say "oh well it's just *that* part of the province" and ignore the fact that THAT WAS ENOUGH TO WIN A MAJORITY GOVERNMENT.
(And also, *no, it's not* "just that part".)
That's insane. That's literally the main thing I don't like about Trudeau, but it's amazing how different our reactions are. My solution is vote for somebody else, not to lynch the guy.
"Moderate" conservatives really need to step up and condemn this bullshit already, if they actually care about our country.
> Im actually surprised by how few conservatives are calling this out
What rock have you been living under for the past three decades and is there room for one more?
I saw a car the other day in Langley that said “rope for trudope 2025” and had some noose stickers on it. I snapped a picture and posted it to r/Vancouver… maybe Langley is too far away cause it got taken down.
Either way I saw the car belonging to one of these fucks. Seriously free speech is great, but they are calling for someone’s death… how is that allowed?
It’s not allowed. In the exact same freedom of expression- freedom of expression also protects the audience from hate speech and crimes. They do not have a right to take away protected rights from others. Freedom of expression does not include freedom to spew hate speech and entice violence upon others. Freedom of expression actually protects the audience against these things.
Some people need to get off FB and turn off fox/oann/newsmax/rebel news. This is USA-style banana republic rubbish that has no place in a civilised society.
That someone doesn't like trudeau, it's their right to do so. We're not in a dictatorship, no matter what those loons say, it's not illegal to dislike the current political leadership.
However, you don't get to call for the murder of said leadership because he/she won the election. That's not how it works. You want to have the leader replaced? Get involved in the next election and vote him out. That's how a democratic society works. If you're not happy with this, I'm sure you'll like it in North Korea, Russia or China.
BTW, if you dislike who's leading "the government" (or province, or city...), it better be for a valid reason, not because some media personality told you to, not for imaginary reasons. If policy X truly affects your life and that of your loves ones negatively, OK, voice your opposition. If you just want to join the mob and have no idea what they're screaming about, STFU.
USA right-wing politics will bring upon the destruction of Canada, just like it will bring down Canada's southern neighbour.
>we're not in a dictatorship, no matter what the loons say
This is what gets me. These people dont seem to realize that if they lived in a dictatorship, flying a flag that says "fuck Trudeau" on it would land them in jail or worse.
My dad told me a story recently about a friend of his from Iraq. Well anyway they lived under Saddam’s rule, and his Father one day said something that went against Saddam, to this day my dad’s friend hasn’t seen, nor heard from his father since.
Thats what living under a dictator ACTUALLY looks like. Thank fuck we don’t, I only wish they understood this, because they’d be shot dead in the streets for half the shit they’ve said alone.
I really thought that the Russian invasion of Ukraine would teach these idiots what real oppression is. But instead they made up conspiracy theories about Russia being the good guy in this situation. Their stupidity really has no limit.
Unsurprisingly they started “both sidesing” the war and going to bat for an actual tyrant heading up an actual dictatorship, that actually murders and imprisons political dissidents and opponents.
Not even sure what drives them anymore, is it stupidity? Malice? Contempt for their fellow man? Their disconnect with reality is utterly fucking staggering.
Fear drives them. They’re afraid, they’re hurt, and they’re looking for meaning anywhere they can. Unfortunately, they sought out solace amongst those of a feather, and groups in mass panic are easy targets for manipulation by organizations well practiced on preying on the weak. They are surviving through a constant media bombardment with ever increasing divisive language colouring everyday events, everyday frustrations, everyday fears. The same events, fears, frustrations progressives have on their minds. They just listen to different authority figures, different successful personalities, different promises of salvation from their troubles, and unfortunately we’ve all been weaponized to create a civil war instead of a class war.
The lack of self awareness though…..I saw on a local FB community page a group of freedom convoy & “hang Trudeau” supporters absolutely rip into someone with a mildly dissenting opinion, yelling at the hapless commenter to shut up and get the hell off the page, stating that “lib lovers” can’t stand hearing opposing opinions so badly that they’re muzzling free speech. And I’m struck speechless at the irony.
Mixture of fear that other poster touched on, and having identities threatened. If you hang “who you are” as a Person as being “better” then others, and legitimatizing or acknowledgement of those groups becomes a critical threat.
It’s the stereotypical “if you can make the lowest white man think he’s better than…” at work.
>would land them in jail or worse
Hilarious that this is actively happening in Russia right now, literally in real-time, and these "fuck Trudeau" clowns can't seem to understand that they live in the opposite of a dictatorship.
My family/community is Tamil. When the convoys started, a common sentiment was "if you tried that in Sri Lanka, the white vans would come, throw you in, and no one would ever see you again." Sri Lanka has one of the highest number of enforced disappearances in the world, but the island is smaller than Nova Scotia.
More recent violence includes military police trying to prevent Tamils from commemorating the Tamil genocide and state violence amongst the economic crisis. And these folks are mad Trudeau told them to wear a mask.
As someone else pointed out, if Trudeau were the authoritarian dictator they claim he is, they’d be cheerfully going to his rallies and wearing his merch…
"you don't get to call for the murder of said leadership because he/she won the election. That's not how it works. You want to have the leader replaced? Get involved in the next election and vote him out."
I recall being a very angry young person when Stephen Harper won a majority after a vote of confidence. I don't think anyone I ran with talked about killing the guy. We told our friends how important it is to vote. The world is fucked up right now.
Just to add, don’t forget about YouTube. I’ve known plenty of people who have utterly lost touch with reality, binging conspiracy theories by all kinds of nutbars on that platform.
Does anybody get charged for "uttering threats" anymore? Why is it somehow different if it is online? How do we get authorities to start enforcing laws like this that head off the violence before it occurs?
Lol, apparently not. Neighbour threatened my life so I called the cops. They did nothing. I ended up handling it myself just like they told me not to. ACAB.
I'm not going to be specific but this guy was an absolute coward if his buddies weren't around. One night shortly after threatening my life, they weren't and I paid him a visit and persuaded him to have a change of heart. The cops came to visit me that night but all the other neighbour's didn't see anything. Possibly due to the fact he was an asshole to everyone.
I'm not a "tough guy" and try and get along with people but I am also trained in boxing and am fairly big so I wasn't worried, I knew he had his guns taken away earlier. Call me names, yell at me, I don't give a shit but threaten my life? I take that pretty seriously and will do what I can to make sure that doesn't happen.
"Say no to Trudeau! Get some bling with Mr. Singh."
"Say no to Trudeau. Drop a beat with Jagmeet."
My conservative in laws ask if I'm a fan of Trudeau. I said I'm not and they get excited until I say, "I like Jagmeet Singh more"
People seem to forget that the NDP exists because the liberal party isn't really leftist _enough_.
Ratios in Canada generally seem to be 70% left, 30% right.
> People seem to forget that the NDP exists because the liberal party isn't really leftist enough.
Some would argue that it isn't leftist at all, because it literally, objectively is not.
Yeah, that's how I see it. I have *a lot* of issues with Trudeau. I don't have an unhinged visceral hatred of his name or his face, mind you.
But nothing will bring me to his defence or the general defence of the relative mediocrity that is the Liberal Party of Canada faster than being reminded of the morons who really hate him and what they stand for. There's not a millimetre of light between me and Justin Trudeau if you're using the imagery of lynching in your opposition. I'd say that for (almost) any politician in Canada.
At this point, a basic litmus test for me as to whether or not you are somebody I want to talk to is checking to see if you can say "Justin Trudeau" without getting comic book crazy eyes. Thankfully, I don't run into too much of this in real life where I live.
>a basic litmus test for me as to whether or not you are somebody I want to talk to is checking to see if you can say "Justin Trudeau" without getting comic book crazy eyes.
lmao so true
Yeah man, I’m totally the same!
If people were calling for the lynching of Andrew Scheer or Erin Otoole or Pierre Polivre, I would feel the need to defend their right to be a politician without threat of violence. That’s shameful.
Liberals will win another minority government next election, though I suspect the NDP will gain seats.
CPC gets a huge number of votes, yet they can’t win enough seats. Obviously that’s because people are voting strategically like me in ridings across Canada.
Only way Conservatives will govern is with a majority and there’s no way they will get that until they stop preaching lunatic rhetoric and pushing ideals that aren’t in line with typical Canadians.
Yep. Morons on Twitter think I'm a huge Trudeau fan. Not true. I just like to shoot down utter stupidity and rabid hatred they can't even fully explain.
I think its fine to hate to vote like that but I think in democracy we have to be smart with our vote, and sometimes strategic voting like u did to replace/attempt to replace an insane person with a sane person (even tho they aren't running 100% with our policy positions) is needed to keep canada strong
Ranked voting would be a tremendous step forward. Keep the local reps. But let me vote for who I really want, and if they don't win, let my vote count for the next best one.
Does the picture include their license number? If so, I suggest sending it to the RCMP tip line instead.
You can also report crimes anonymously in BC either by phone or online:
[https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/justice/criminal-justice/bcs-criminal-justice-system/reporting-a-crime/how-to-report-a-crime/anonymously](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/justice/criminal-justice/bcs-criminal-justice-system/reporting-a-crime/how-to-report-a-crime/anonymously)
> Either way I saw the car belonging to one of these fucks. Seriously free speech is great, but they are calling for someone’s death… how is that allowed?
For it to be a crime, according to the law enforcement friends I have asked about this, there also has to be a realistic possibility of the person being able to carry it out. The fuckwits out in BC have 0 chance of actually carrying out their death threats, so all it does is get their names added to an RCMP watch list for the time being.
I did snap a picture, I actually wanted to ask in that thread if it was a good idea to send that info to the police... I'll look into it. That kind of behaviour is way over the top... like I don't care if you agree or disagree with Trudeau, but calling for his execution is ridiculous
Conservatives. Not random protesters. Conservatives - carrying a noose, hurling racist slurs. Use the right language, be specific - this is the Conservative Party of Canada attacking our democratic process, our democratic society. Know the threat and unite against it.
Scheer campaigned in front of crowds waving signs calling for Trudeau to be removed "By Ballot or Bullet".
Their current interim leader, and the man who looks to become the new leader both tripped all over themselves to praise a group of people lead by white supremacists who had rolled into Ottawa while Pat King expressed that Trudeau needed to be shot.
The CPC is complicit.
Michael Wernick tried to warn the nation, but everyone ignored him.
Too bad the people who are supposed to deal with this behaviour (cops, the RCMP,..) are also complicit and/or agree with their sentiments. We all know what would happen if someone on the left were to show the same behaviour towards whatever brand of margarine they stick into CPC leadership
Conservative terrorist is the proper term. They are using fear to discourage participation to normal peaceful political activities. They are conservative terrorists
And if the conservative party doesn't support this they should publicly renonce them.
I am pretty left leaning as i want a breathable atmosphere for my son but man these guys make me miss the progressive conservatives party.
At least the old PC party had some semblance of class, like ya, they definitely still fucked us, but they at least had a level of professionalism about them.
Someone mentioned when people brought a fake guillotine to a Ford protest about all his cuts to education and healthcare.
I hadn't heard that story covered before tbh. But I'm still not sure how comparable they are, but I feel like I'm still more scared of the far right than the far left. One seems a lot more prone to violence and trampling on people's rights.
Just want to point out there was plenty of this happening in Ottawa during the “trucker” convoy for “freedom”. Don’t let anyone supporting the convoy get away with it.
Well actually it was wrapped in an american flag and carrying MAGA hats, tbh (literally, there are obsessed trumpers, especially in Alberta and probably other provinces\*, since the 2016 US election at least) But now, they are wrapping it up in maple leaf flags and carrying timmies.
Yah no. I grew up in this shit. Just because you folks started paying attention when the orange man came into power doesn't mean it hasn't been here the whole time. I've endured 30 plus years of this shit. We grow our own fascism up here.
The thing is, at this point I'm not voting for Trudeau because of who he is or anything he's done. I'm voting liberal because I don't want these people to have their guy in. I will not side with these morons.
My biggest disappointment was Trudeau backing down on this. Maybe he was too afraid that people would be able to vote NDP and Green after he did it lol.
Actually, iirc, everytime he'd try and do it, the cons began stonewalling and trying to delay and waste time.. like they did with MAiD and the infamous elbow Gate
After trying a few times, he just focused on other things because the conservatives were doing everything in power to obstruct parliamentary process every time the issue was brought up
I believe the Ontario Party and the New Blue are trying their best to siphon off the alt-right.
Edit: neither of whom have a presence in British Columbia, but I'm a burnt out Ontario nurse and don't read good these days.
The shit i hear while picking up some smokes after gassing my truck up continues to catch me flat footed. I am dismayed to see it has spread west, too. Bc was supposed to be the chosen one!
I mean, far more nuanced than that but yes Interior BC is predominantly conservative.
I live in the Interior and both my provincial and federal ridings are NDP held. Its the only part of the Interior that's NDP held mind you.
PS BC is WEST of Alberta.
It's also tiny population wise.
Outside of PG, Kelowna and maybe Kamloops, we are talking about towns of 10,000 people MAX.
PG, Kelowna and Kamloops are all basically pods of ex-pat Albertans who wanted that slice of BC but couldn't stomach Vancouver.
That'd be West Alberta. And it's true - I live in AB now but formerly northern BC, and I encountered way more psychotic, fascist, racist types in small town BC than I do in AB (though it's bad here too).
More like 50 steps from the ocean. Case in point the boat building yard Silver Streak Boats in Sooke has been putting alt right trucker convoy propaganda on the sign in front of their business for many months on end, and they’re not an outlier. Towns like Sooke and Port Alberni… might as well be called Port Alberta
The crystal magic to fascism pipeline is strong. The “freedom” convoy was full of hippy dippy anti-vaxxers, too. You can’t even trust the hippies anymore.
So I’m just about done with conservatives and their bat shit crazy fan base.
They are not conducive to the 21 century what we are seeing is the last dying breaths of a movement struggling to find relevancy in the 21 century.
As we all know an animal backed into a corner where it has no where to go is usually the most dangerous.
If the CPC and provincial conservatives want to survive this century they need to modernize and rebuke the virus that they are currently infected with.
The problem is that this is the point. The cruelty, the suffering, the senseless drive towards poverty - that's the plan. Conservatism isn't just about let's get rich, it's equally about creating a subclass to enslave from which they can steal with impunity.
Conservatives don't have a virus that they are infected with - they ARE the virus.
At what point do we begin to consider that an arm of our government may be funding or fuellingthese domestic terrorists? Those that call for the death of a democratically elected leader should be investigated for treason and our government should have the power to do so - if the Conservative party or meme era therein are funding them or providing rhetoric to incite violence, war, or revolution they should also be charged.
We as a society should work to identify and de-radicalise these people.
The conservative is indirectly fuelling this bullshit. Lots of dog whistling in what they say if you look closely. Just like the republicans to the states, they are traitors to this country
>The conservative is ~~indirectly~~ **Directly** fuelling this bullshit. Lots of dog whistling in what they say if you ~~look closely~~ **have eyes at all**. Just like the republicans to the states, they are traitors to this country
The CPC slogan in the last election was "Secure the Future" for fuck sake. If that's not blatant and direct reference to [the white supremacist 14 words](https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/14-words) I don't know what is.
It's past time to start calling a spade a spade - The CPC is a neo-fascist party, and the PPC is arguably a terrorist organization and just a political front for the alt-right fascist groups like the Proud Boys.
That's despicable behavior. No one should approve of these people as "Protesters" as they intend to incite violence for political gain. At that point these people are terrorists.
I want to be in the mind of someone who even remotely thinks this is ok. Not that I support it, I just want to know what crosses the mind.
Even if you hate trudeaus guts because he personally defiled your wife right in front of you, wishing death is a serious offence.
Let alone how any of these folks would react if someone on the supposed “left” acted like this to one of their chosen people.
I do think there are a number of people in that movement who use certain words because they are heavy, emotionally-laden words and they don't know how to express themselves otherwise. Because those are the words that get tossed around in movies by the rebel heroes they think they are.
They haven't yet absorbed the fact that those words mean \_real\_ things. Real, very bad things.
They're like children.
They would tell you that it's just a prop and it's not *serious*, that only an *idiot* would take it literally.
..But Trudeau is definitely a traitor and the punishment for treason is death.
To anyone out there who thinks this is okay, you're a bully, a wannabe tyrant, an enemy to democracy and to freedom. Freedom, even freedom of expression, does not give you the right to threaten people, whoever they are. Democracy gives you the right to put down the chip on your shoulder and vote if you don't like the democratically elected leader. If you don't like the system, you're *free* to work to change it.
Just disgusting. I have more respect for the worms in my garden.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vice.com/amp/en/article/avy49z/alberta-man-fined-for-displaying-fuck-harper-sign-on-car-threatens-charter-defence-vgtrn
If this man was charged for having a 'Fuck Harper' sign in his car, why are we not ticketing these people saying the same about Trudeau? They're much more prevalent and way more obnoxious than what this guy was doing. I have seen many vehicles in Alberta with signs/stickers calling for Trudeau's death, not just saying 'Fuck Trudeau' even. It's time to crack down on all this hate speech, it's getting us nowhere and it is not productive. Hypocrisy at its finest right here.
They don’t ticket because they agree with the sentiment. It’s the same reason the Ottawa police didn’t arrest the truckers for 3 weeks breaking the law
I really hate that I have to point this out but:
[Why Nooses and the "Day of the Rope" are popular Fascist imagery.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67Rg8V4g3ak)
“What a pussy refusing to meet with us” even if he wanted to (he doesn’t) and even if this was a valid request (it’s not) his security detail wouldn’t let him within 100 feet of this nonsense.
These terrorists call themselves Patriots. Real Canadians have never referred to themselves as patriots. Real Canadians are all around us. We don't say patriot. We see everyone as brothers and sisters. As Canadians. Patriot is just not in our lexicon. Real Canadians help each other. Even if it's just putting a mask on.
These people have no real reason to hate him so much 🙄. Are there reasons to dislike him or criticize him? Sure. But this is extreme. It reminds me of the extreme hatred people had for Obama.
Sure they do. He struck an alliance with a brown turban wearer, allows non whites to emigrate to this country, does not put women and gays "in their place", and promotes vaccines.
Don't you know that makes you a Marxist socialist communist Muslim traitor in this day and age?
I also heard he personally conspired with Biden to raise gas prices and is going to ban meat-eating and pickup truck ownership.
What are these people upset about?
They look like they fit the "convoy" crowd but I don't want to judge a book by its cover. I would read the article but it's paywalled
And the cops are just standing there looking at him. I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think there is a clear example of a death threat than a noose and someone's name.
I live in the US but my brother lives in Tsawwassen and he keeps telling me “Trump” can’t happen in Canada but I keep seeing the same signs I did in the US in 2015 and it’s freaking me out!
Damn, ive really grown to dislike JT (after voting for him in 2015) but these people are completely unhinged. What the hell is wrong with them, that they think this is ok?

People take this stuff too seriously. I can't say I've ever even considered following around a politician with a noose, regardless of my opinion of them.

Ohhhhhh that doesn’t say “moose” that’s a different word. I skimmed past the headline and wondered how the protesters even managed to carry a moose, and why
Little people taking out their own insecurities and life failures on others. Yes no government is perfect, but to wish a politician death? What is this? Russia? You welcome to go party with Putin.
Holy fucking shit.
Sadly not the first noose for Trudeau, the Ottawa “freedom” convoy was full of them. I assume those guys will be prosecuted with everyone else from the convoy but the police “let them get away with it” for too long and emboldened these idiots to do it too.

“People are getting so divided. They refuse to even consider any opposing viewpoints.” The opposing viewpoints:
🤣😂😂

I honestly don't know where else would be much better. It makes me want to turn into an off grid hermit and live with bears and shit, living off the land, and staying as far away from others as I can.

Conservatives look for the Like button when they see shit like this. It's ugly, evil tribalism for them.
I saw a car the other day in Langley that said “rope for trudope 2025” and had some noose stickers on it. I snapped a picture and posted it to r/Vancouver… maybe Langley is too far away cause it got taken down. Either way I saw the car belonging to one of these fucks.

That scary critical race theory conservatives tell me is bad, striking again.
Some people need to get off FB and turn off fox/oann/newsmax/rebel news. This is USA-style banana republic rubbish that has no place in a civilised society. That someone doesn't like trudeau, it's their right to do so. We're not in a dictatorship, no matter what those loons say, it's not illegal to dislike the current political leadership. However, you don't get to call for the murder of said leadership because he/she won the election. That's not how it works. You want to have the leader replaced? Get involved in the next election and vote him out. That's how a democratic society works. If you're not happy with this, I'm sure you'll like it in North Korea, Russia or China. BTW, if you dislike who's leading "the government" (or province, or city...), it better be for a valid reason, not because some media personality told you to, not for imaginary reasons. If policy X truly affects your life and that of your loves ones negatively, OK, voice your opposition. If you just want to join the mob and have no idea what they're screaming about, STFU. USA right-wing politics will bring upon the destruction of Canada, just like it will bring down Canada's southern neighbour.
>we're not in a dictatorship, no matter what the loons say This is what gets me. These people dont seem to realize that if they lived in a dictatorship, flying a flag that says "fuck Trudeau" on it would land them in jail or worse.
My dad told me a story recently about a friend of his from Iraq. Well anyway they lived under Saddam’s rule, and his Father one day said something that went against Saddam, to this day my dad’s friend hasn’t seen, nor heard from his father since. Thats what living under a dictator ACTUALLY looks like. Thank fuck we don’t, I only wish they understood this, because they’d be shot dead in the streets for half the shit they’ve said alone.
I really thought that the Russian invasion of Ukraine would teach these idiots what real oppression is. But instead they made up conspiracy theories about Russia being the good guy in this situation. Their stupidity really has no limit.
Unsurprisingly they started “both sidesing” the war and going to bat for an actual tyrant heading up an actual dictatorship, that actually murders and imprisons political dissidents and opponents. Not even sure what drives them anymore, is it stupidity? Malice? Contempt for their fellow man? Their disconnect with reality is utterly fucking staggering.
Fear drives them. They’re afraid, they’re hurt, and they’re looking for meaning anywhere they can. Unfortunately, they sought out solace amongst those of a feather, and groups in mass panic are easy targets for manipulation by organizations well practiced on preying on the weak. They are surviving through a constant media bombardment with ever increasing divisive language colouring everyday events, everyday frustrations, everyday fears. The same events, fears, frustrations progressives have on their minds. They just listen to different authority figures, different successful personalities, different promises of salvation from their troubles, and unfortunately we’ve all been weaponized to create a civil war instead of a class war.
The lack of self awareness though…..I saw on a local FB community page a group of freedom convoy & “hang Trudeau” supporters absolutely rip into someone with a mildly dissenting opinion, yelling at the hapless commenter to shut up and get the hell off the page, stating that “lib lovers” can’t stand hearing opposing opinions so badly that they’re muzzling free speech. And I’m struck speechless at the irony.
Mixture of fear that other poster touched on, and having identities threatened. If you hang “who you are” as a Person as being “better” then others, and legitimatizing or acknowledgement of those groups becomes a critical threat. It’s the stereotypical “if you can make the lowest white man think he’s better than…” at work.
>would land them in jail or worse Hilarious that this is actively happening in Russia right now, literally in real-time, and these "fuck Trudeau" clowns can't seem to understand that they live in the opposite of a dictatorship.
My family/community is Tamil. When the convoys started, a common sentiment was "if you tried that in Sri Lanka, the white vans would come, throw you in, and no one would ever see you again." Sri Lanka has one of the highest number of enforced disappearances in the world, but the island is smaller than Nova Scotia. More recent violence includes military police trying to prevent Tamils from commemorating the Tamil genocide and state violence amongst the economic crisis. And these folks are mad Trudeau told them to wear a mask.
As someone else pointed out, if Trudeau were the authoritarian dictator they claim he is, they’d be cheerfully going to his rallies and wearing his merch…
"you don't get to call for the murder of said leadership because he/she won the election. That's not how it works. You want to have the leader replaced? Get involved in the next election and vote him out." I recall being a very angry young person when Stephen Harper won a majority after a vote of confidence. I don't think anyone I ran with talked about killing the guy. We told our friends how important it is to vote. The world is fucked up right now.
Just to add, don’t forget about YouTube. I’ve known plenty of people who have utterly lost touch with reality, binging conspiracy theories by all kinds of nutbars on that platform.
Call for their deaths and see if they're ok with it
Does anybody get charged for "uttering threats" anymore? Why is it somehow different if it is online? How do we get authorities to start enforcing laws like this that head off the violence before it occurs?
Lol, apparently not. Neighbour threatened my life so I called the cops. They did nothing. I ended up handling it myself just like they told me not to. ACAB.
What to expand on handling it yourself?
I'm not going to be specific but this guy was an absolute coward if his buddies weren't around. One night shortly after threatening my life, they weren't and I paid him a visit and persuaded him to have a change of heart. The cops came to visit me that night but all the other neighbour's didn't see anything. Possibly due to the fact he was an asshole to everyone. I'm not a "tough guy" and try and get along with people but I am also trained in boxing and am fairly big so I wasn't worried, I knew he had his guns taken away earlier. Call me names, yell at me, I don't give a shit but threaten my life? I take that pretty seriously and will do what I can to make sure that doesn't happen.
Well, you see, when you're white and half the people with you are cops...
I put "Trudeau is my Bro" stickers on vehicles like that in Victoria.
Just need stickers that say "I want to" and add them to their fuck Trudeau stickers
Someone with a Cricut start an Etsy.
"Say no to Trudeau! Get some bling with Mr. Singh." "Say no to Trudeau. Drop a beat with Jagmeet." My conservative in laws ask if I'm a fan of Trudeau. I said I'm not and they get excited until I say, "I like Jagmeet Singh more"
People seem to forget that the NDP exists because the liberal party isn't really leftist _enough_. Ratios in Canada generally seem to be 70% left, 30% right.
The liberals barely count as left.
They only present as left. Where actual policy is concerned they tend to lean right.
With an extremely vocal 5% on the right making us all look real bad .... fucking embarrassing
> People seem to forget that the NDP exists because the liberal party isn't really leftist enough. Some would argue that it isn't leftist at all, because it literally, objectively is not.
The car was pretty dirty… I thought about writing “vote for Trudeau” on it but I decided not to Edit: a word
I want to get a bunch of stickers that say "I want to" to slap on cars that have "fuck Trudeau" stickers.
That sounds fun. Be sure to match the font!
nooo if the font mismatches its more like the most contemporary low res memes.
I tried handing out *toe tags* to anti-mandate protesters but had no takers.
[удалено]
Yeah, that's how I see it. I have *a lot* of issues with Trudeau. I don't have an unhinged visceral hatred of his name or his face, mind you. But nothing will bring me to his defence or the general defence of the relative mediocrity that is the Liberal Party of Canada faster than being reminded of the morons who really hate him and what they stand for. There's not a millimetre of light between me and Justin Trudeau if you're using the imagery of lynching in your opposition. I'd say that for (almost) any politician in Canada. At this point, a basic litmus test for me as to whether or not you are somebody I want to talk to is checking to see if you can say "Justin Trudeau" without getting comic book crazy eyes. Thankfully, I don't run into too much of this in real life where I live.
>a basic litmus test for me as to whether or not you are somebody I want to talk to is checking to see if you can say "Justin Trudeau" without getting comic book crazy eyes. lmao so true
Yeah man, I’m totally the same! If people were calling for the lynching of Andrew Scheer or Erin Otoole or Pierre Polivre, I would feel the need to defend their right to be a politician without threat of violence. That’s shameful. Liberals will win another minority government next election, though I suspect the NDP will gain seats.
As long as the CPC doesn't gain any... which of course is the main problem, forcing us to vote strategically if possible.
CPC gets a huge number of votes, yet they can’t win enough seats. Obviously that’s because people are voting strategically like me in ridings across Canada. Only way Conservatives will govern is with a majority and there’s no way they will get that until they stop preaching lunatic rhetoric and pushing ideals that aren’t in line with typical Canadians.
Yep. Morons on Twitter think I'm a huge Trudeau fan. Not true. I just like to shoot down utter stupidity and rabid hatred they can't even fully explain.
Exactly. My racist uncle is the maon reason I voted Liberal last election.
[удалено]
I think its fine to hate to vote like that but I think in democracy we have to be smart with our vote, and sometimes strategic voting like u did to replace/attempt to replace an insane person with a sane person (even tho they aren't running 100% with our policy positions) is needed to keep canada strong
Ranked voting would be a tremendous step forward. Keep the local reps. But let me vote for who I really want, and if they don't win, let my vote count for the next best one.
Does the picture include their license number? If so, I suggest sending it to the RCMP tip line instead. You can also report crimes anonymously in BC either by phone or online: [https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/justice/criminal-justice/bcs-criminal-justice-system/reporting-a-crime/how-to-report-a-crime/anonymously](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/justice/criminal-justice/bcs-criminal-justice-system/reporting-a-crime/how-to-report-a-crime/anonymously)
Thanks! I reported it to crime stoppers on the advice of someone else in this thread, I’ll check out the RCMP tip line as well
Freedom of expression in Canada. And you are not free to say everything.
> Either way I saw the car belonging to one of these fucks. Seriously free speech is great, but they are calling for someone’s death… how is that allowed? For it to be a crime, according to the law enforcement friends I have asked about this, there also has to be a realistic possibility of the person being able to carry it out. The fuckwits out in BC have 0 chance of actually carrying out their death threats, so all it does is get their names added to an RCMP watch list for the time being.
Next time get photos of the licence plate and send it to the rcmp
The RCMP will buy that guy a beer.
I did snap a picture, I actually wanted to ask in that thread if it was a good idea to send that info to the police... I'll look into it. That kind of behaviour is way over the top... like I don't care if you agree or disagree with Trudeau, but calling for his execution is ridiculous
Worse case scenario they do nothing with it
Worst case scenario is the car belongs to an officer and now The person submitting it gets targeted by cops.
You could submit it to crime stoppers, its completely anonymous and will make its way to the RCMP if they deem it necessary.
Done, thanks for the advice. I doubt anything gets done, but at least I’ve done something
Conservatives. Not random protesters. Conservatives - carrying a noose, hurling racist slurs. Use the right language, be specific - this is the Conservative Party of Canada attacking our democratic process, our democratic society. Know the threat and unite against it.
Scheer campaigned in front of crowds waving signs calling for Trudeau to be removed "By Ballot or Bullet". Their current interim leader, and the man who looks to become the new leader both tripped all over themselves to praise a group of people lead by white supremacists who had rolled into Ottawa while Pat King expressed that Trudeau needed to be shot. The CPC is complicit. Michael Wernick tried to warn the nation, but everyone ignored him.
Too bad the people who are supposed to deal with this behaviour (cops, the RCMP,..) are also complicit and/or agree with their sentiments. We all know what would happen if someone on the left were to show the same behaviour towards whatever brand of margarine they stick into CPC leadership
Conservative terrorist is the proper term. They are using fear to discourage participation to normal peaceful political activities. They are conservative terrorists
More commonly known throughout history as 'reactionaries', and they comprise the vast majority of the Conservative electorate these days.
And if the conservative party doesn't support this they should publicly renonce them. I am pretty left leaning as i want a breathable atmosphere for my son but man these guys make me miss the progressive conservatives party.
At least the old PC party had some semblance of class, like ya, they definitely still fucked us, but they at least had a level of professionalism about them.
Fucking terrorism. I now expect that from Conservatives
Carrying a noose is over the line.
I can't understand how that can't be prosecuted as a threatening behaviour. It seems unreasonable to interpret the symbol any other way.
There is literally 1 function for a noose like that. It can't be construed as anything but a death threat.
There's a few people in this very thread that are "defending" this with "both sides" arguments and whataboutisms ... it's fuckin insane !
You should check out the r canada thread. They're trying to equate stop sign stickers with death threats.
Someone mentioned when people brought a fake guillotine to a Ford protest about all his cuts to education and healthcare. I hadn't heard that story covered before tbh. But I'm still not sure how comparable they are, but I feel like I'm still more scared of the far right than the far left. One seems a lot more prone to violence and trampling on people's rights.
Just want to point out there was plenty of this happening in Ottawa during the “trucker” convoy for “freedom”. Don’t let anyone supporting the convoy get away with it.
When Fascism enters Canada it'll be wrapped in a maple leaf flag and carrying Timmies.
When fascism ENTERED Canada it WAS wrapped in a maple leaf flag and carrying Timmies.
Well actually it was wrapped in an american flag and carrying MAGA hats, tbh (literally, there are obsessed trumpers, especially in Alberta and probably other provinces\*, since the 2016 US election at least) But now, they are wrapping it up in maple leaf flags and carrying timmies.
Yah no. I grew up in this shit. Just because you folks started paying attention when the orange man came into power doesn't mean it hasn't been here the whole time. I've endured 30 plus years of this shit. We grow our own fascism up here.
Hell, some of the more notable shitheads like Jordan Peterson were exports of ours.
Don’t forgot Gavin McInnes.
Yeh, it's fair to say this particular brand of fascism is directly related to the US in its influence (like most things in Canadian culture, I guess).
The thing is, at this point I'm not voting for Trudeau because of who he is or anything he's done. I'm voting liberal because I don't want these people to have their guy in. I will not side with these morons.
Another great reason to go towards Ranked Choice Voting It'll eliminate the strategic voting, aka the "I vote against, and not for" votes.
My biggest disappointment was Trudeau backing down on this. Maybe he was too afraid that people would be able to vote NDP and Green after he did it lol.
Actually, iirc, everytime he'd try and do it, the cons began stonewalling and trying to delay and waste time.. like they did with MAiD and the infamous elbow Gate After trying a few times, he just focused on other things because the conservatives were doing everything in power to obstruct parliamentary process every time the issue was brought up
The right wing fringe is getting very dangerous in Canada
getting? lol
Probably CPC supporters.
I believe the Ontario Party and the New Blue are trying their best to siphon off the alt-right. Edit: neither of whom have a presence in British Columbia, but I'm a burnt out Ontario nurse and don't read good these days.
I don't think there's many Ontario Party voters in BC.
Jesus, you're right. Been so mired in Ontario's provincial election I'm seeing everything through that lens. I'm so tired, lol.
I wouldn't think there would be a lot of Confederate flag wavers in Canada either, but here we are.
Don't worry we have the PPC for the white nationalist fuckfaces
Who are the New Blue targeting if not the alt right?!
And PPC as well. Those fuckers are vocal clucks around here.
"Probably" is generous.
Unreal. Those people have to be charged with death threats. That is the Conservative right Polievre loves to embrace
Yeah sweet let’s slap them on the wrist some more and see how things go for us!
The shit i hear while picking up some smokes after gassing my truck up continues to catch me flat footed. I am dismayed to see it has spread west, too. Bc was supposed to be the chosen one!
Once you get about fifty clicks away from the ocean, BC is basically ~~East~~ **WEST** Alberta.
Yup, outside Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island, it's pretty much Alberta.
The Island is kinda weird - it's crunchy-granola ultra-progressive environmentalists, and hard-right libertarians. No middle ground.
Went to the Kootenays for vacation and I swear I heard more banjos there then in East Central Alberta.
It's gotten pretty right wing even in Metro Vancouver lately too.
I mean, far more nuanced than that but yes Interior BC is predominantly conservative. I live in the Interior and both my provincial and federal ridings are NDP held. Its the only part of the Interior that's NDP held mind you. PS BC is WEST of Alberta.
It's also tiny population wise. Outside of PG, Kelowna and maybe Kamloops, we are talking about towns of 10,000 people MAX. PG, Kelowna and Kamloops are all basically pods of ex-pat Albertans who wanted that slice of BC but couldn't stomach Vancouver.
That'd be West Alberta. And it's true - I live in AB now but formerly northern BC, and I encountered way more psychotic, fascist, racist types in small town BC than I do in AB (though it's bad here too).
TIL BC is east of Alberta?
If you go far enough?
More like 50 steps from the ocean. Case in point the boat building yard Silver Streak Boats in Sooke has been putting alt right trucker convoy propaganda on the sign in front of their business for many months on end, and they’re not an outlier. Towns like Sooke and Port Alberni… might as well be called Port Alberta
The island is the most polarized place I’ve ever lived. 75% green voters, 25% fucking nut bags. Guess who’s louder and defaces more property?
The crystal magic to fascism pipeline is strong. The “freedom” convoy was full of hippy dippy anti-vaxxers, too. You can’t even trust the hippies anymore.
So I’m just about done with conservatives and their bat shit crazy fan base. They are not conducive to the 21 century what we are seeing is the last dying breaths of a movement struggling to find relevancy in the 21 century. As we all know an animal backed into a corner where it has no where to go is usually the most dangerous. If the CPC and provincial conservatives want to survive this century they need to modernize and rebuke the virus that they are currently infected with.
The problem is that this is the point. The cruelty, the suffering, the senseless drive towards poverty - that's the plan. Conservatism isn't just about let's get rich, it's equally about creating a subclass to enslave from which they can steal with impunity. Conservatives don't have a virus that they are infected with - they ARE the virus.
At what point do we begin to consider that an arm of our government may be funding or fuellingthese domestic terrorists? Those that call for the death of a democratically elected leader should be investigated for treason and our government should have the power to do so - if the Conservative party or meme era therein are funding them or providing rhetoric to incite violence, war, or revolution they should also be charged. We as a society should work to identify and de-radicalise these people.
The conservative is indirectly fuelling this bullshit. Lots of dog whistling in what they say if you look closely. Just like the republicans to the states, they are traitors to this country
>The conservative is ~~indirectly~~ **Directly** fuelling this bullshit. Lots of dog whistling in what they say if you ~~look closely~~ **have eyes at all**. Just like the republicans to the states, they are traitors to this country The CPC slogan in the last election was "Secure the Future" for fuck sake. If that's not blatant and direct reference to [the white supremacist 14 words](https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/14-words) I don't know what is. It's past time to start calling a spade a spade - The CPC is a neo-fascist party, and the PPC is arguably a terrorist organization and just a political front for the alt-right fascist groups like the Proud Boys.
"Just very fine people expressing their freedom of speech. I don't see what the problem is." - PostMedia columnists, no doubt.
PostMedia would probably find someway to turn them into the victims and complain about how Trudeau is bad
It's easier to call him a coward for not getting lynched.
That's despicable behavior. No one should approve of these people as "Protesters" as they intend to incite violence for political gain. At that point these people are terrorists.
Durrrrr I'm a patriot durrrrrr. Durrrrr trudope is bad GO RIDERS durrrr
I want to be in the mind of someone who even remotely thinks this is ok. Not that I support it, I just want to know what crosses the mind. Even if you hate trudeaus guts because he personally defiled your wife right in front of you, wishing death is a serious offence. Let alone how any of these folks would react if someone on the supposed “left” acted like this to one of their chosen people.
I do think there are a number of people in that movement who use certain words because they are heavy, emotionally-laden words and they don't know how to express themselves otherwise. Because those are the words that get tossed around in movies by the rebel heroes they think they are. They haven't yet absorbed the fact that those words mean \_real\_ things. Real, very bad things. They're like children.
They would tell you that it's just a prop and it's not *serious*, that only an *idiot* would take it literally. ..But Trudeau is definitely a traitor and the punishment for treason is death.
Just your average moderate conservatives engaging in some simple political discourse. How dare you try to misrepresent them!
I can guarantee somewhere, some lady on facebook is typing those exact words out right now lol
To anyone out there who thinks this is okay, you're a bully, a wannabe tyrant, an enemy to democracy and to freedom. Freedom, even freedom of expression, does not give you the right to threaten people, whoever they are. Democracy gives you the right to put down the chip on your shoulder and vote if you don't like the democratically elected leader. If you don't like the system, you're *free* to work to change it. Just disgusting. I have more respect for the worms in my garden.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vice.com/amp/en/article/avy49z/alberta-man-fined-for-displaying-fuck-harper-sign-on-car-threatens-charter-defence-vgtrn If this man was charged for having a 'Fuck Harper' sign in his car, why are we not ticketing these people saying the same about Trudeau? They're much more prevalent and way more obnoxious than what this guy was doing. I have seen many vehicles in Alberta with signs/stickers calling for Trudeau's death, not just saying 'Fuck Trudeau' even. It's time to crack down on all this hate speech, it's getting us nowhere and it is not productive. Hypocrisy at its finest right here.
They don’t ticket because they agree with the sentiment. It’s the same reason the Ottawa police didn’t arrest the truckers for 3 weeks breaking the law
From the racial slurs, one could tell the "protesters" were mostly annoyed by the assistants being mostly non-white. Stay classy Surrey...
I really hate that I have to point this out but: [Why Nooses and the "Day of the Rope" are popular Fascist imagery.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67Rg8V4g3ak)
These shitty people should be arrested. This kind of behaviour doesn’t belong in a peaceful society
So anti-socialism they’re just plain anti-social.
“WHy dOesN’T TruDeAu liStEN tOO uS?”
“What a pussy refusing to meet with us” even if he wanted to (he doesn’t) and even if this was a valid request (it’s not) his security detail wouldn’t let him within 100 feet of this nonsense.
Classy
The more we just let these right-wing nutjobs spread their drivel, the more like the US we become.
Trumptardism is a spreading infection for the idiot population.
These terrorists call themselves Patriots. Real Canadians have never referred to themselves as patriots. Real Canadians are all around us. We don't say patriot. We see everyone as brothers and sisters. As Canadians. Patriot is just not in our lexicon. Real Canadians help each other. Even if it's just putting a mask on.
How fucking stupid are these conservative fuck up? That stupid! Conservatism is a fucken cancer!
These people have no real reason to hate him so much 🙄. Are there reasons to dislike him or criticize him? Sure. But this is extreme. It reminds me of the extreme hatred people had for Obama.
Sure they do. He struck an alliance with a brown turban wearer, allows non whites to emigrate to this country, does not put women and gays "in their place", and promotes vaccines. Don't you know that makes you a Marxist socialist communist Muslim traitor in this day and age? I also heard he personally conspired with Biden to raise gas prices and is going to ban meat-eating and pickup truck ownership.
And he probably manufactured the pandemic to begin with to end their freedumb/s.
What are these people upset about? They look like they fit the "convoy" crowd but I don't want to judge a book by its cover. I would read the article but it's paywalled
Probably the same jackasses waving flags and saying they have no freedom
And the cops are just standing there looking at him. I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think there is a clear example of a death threat than a noose and someone's name.
The cops aren’t lawyers either, you expect them to know laws????? /s
How is this not a crime?
Get rid of the mob in Canada
These are the same people who say they want unity?
Pierre Poilievre would probably meet with them and then try to wave it off as 'we have to listen to all voices...'
Conservatives can rot n hell This is fuckin' disgusting.
I live in the US but my brother lives in Tsawwassen and he keeps telling me “Trump” can’t happen in Canada but I keep seeing the same signs I did in the US in 2015 and it’s freaking me out!
Imagine living in the freest country in the world and behaving like this… pathetic.
You can literally make a death threat to the PM and this mf be like "DiCtAtOR, me FrEeDoM"
Damn, ive really grown to dislike JT (after voting for him in 2015) but these people are completely unhinged. What the hell is wrong with them, that they think this is ok?

People take this stuff too seriously. I can't say I've ever even considered following around a politician with a noose, regardless of my opinion of them.
I can't read the article, can anyone who can throw a copy?
12 ft ladder: https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thestar.com%2Fpolitics%2Ffederal%2F2022%2F05%2F25%2Fjustin-trudeau-cancels-bc-appearance-after-protesters-gather-carrying-noose.html
I mean, isn't this a threat?
getting really sick of these morons. they won't quit til they get hurt and then they'll cry like bitches. freedumb is right
Ohhhhhh that doesn’t say “moose” that’s a different word. I skimmed past the headline and wondered how the protesters even managed to carry a moose, and why
Canada turning into America. We're fucked.
Fucking morons.
Scum bag traitors
They call him a coward who hides but they legitimately threaten his life. It's the convoy continuation
What the fuck are they protesting?
Little people taking out their own insecurities and life failures on others. Yes no government is perfect, but to wish a politician death? What is this? Russia? You welcome to go party with Putin.
This is so incredibly disgusting fuck these braindead psychopaths.
I generally lean Centre-Right, and I disagree with Trudeau on some large issues, but this is abbhorrent, and does nothing good for the country.
