Justin Trudeau is not the leader of the Liberal party of Canada and a Canadian would know that.

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Oh come on, don't be so pedantic. He was their leader up until a couple of months ago.

Nonetheless, he said what he said and twisted the meaning of zionism to fit his narrative. They've also authorized sending money and military equipment to Israël while they were committing their genocide.

The real question is, do you honestly think this policy is going to stop with Carney at the helm?

I personally don't think so.

Meanwhile, the NDP has pushed for the recognition of Palestinian stetehood and have not been scared to call what Israël is doing a Genocide and stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

a Canadian would know that

Laisse moi te dire, mon ami, que je suis québécois et que notre peuple s'appelait "Canadien" bien avant que le Canada devienne un pays. L'hymne national, Ô Canada, a été composé en 1880 par Calixa Lavallée et chanté durant la fête de la Saint Jean Baptiste pour célébrer notre belle nation du Bas-Canada bien avant qu'elle devienne l'hymne national officieux en 1939 et officiellement en 1980. La majorité des icônes canadiens, ont été appropriés de la culture des Canadiens du Bas-Canada. S'il y en a un qui est Canadien icitte c'est bien moé, calice. Et je ne veux plus en entendre un osti me dire que chu pas un canadien, tabarnak. C'est tu clair?

Well, they didn't say you're not Canadian. They simply chided you on not being explicit. It's important because Trudeau hadn't been popular for more than a year, so his opinion certainly isn't that of the Liberal Party.

Well, they didn’t say you’re not Canadian

But saying "a Canadian would know that" is necessarily insinuating that they are not Canadian for not knowing a fact. Which regardless of if the person did know the fact, is a ridiculous criterion to determine if someone is Canadian.

Furthermore, to suggest that Trudeau's views aren't synonymous with the Liberal party, ignores a big part of reality. That the party leaders wield incredible amounts of influence within their parties. If anything, party leaders are perhaps the physical embodiment of a party.

He's insinuating that I'm not Canadian. And to me, that's insulting.

Let it go Elsa, he isn't PM anymore.

I also vote exclusively NDP and have for over 15 years. Go bark at someone else about the geopolitics you do not at all understand.

How about you change your fucking attitude and stop making this community a toxic environment. I've seen your comment history. If anyone is barking at people it's you. You gratuitously insult people and are condescending to everybody.

People are tired of your shit and we can see that by how many downvotes you get.

Get off Lemmy for a while and go touch some fucking grass. Especially now that spring is here it shouldn't be too hard.

And for the record, I'm a NDP voter and supporter myself, so I don't know why you're so fucking upset.

Thanks for ruining my fucking mood and the whole mood of /c/Canada

Says the one who thinks Trudeau is still relevant to any discussion about Canadian Politics.

It would be sad if I didn't find it so funny. Especially the part where you cared more about my down votes than I do.

Say "I am chronically online, without..." amiright?!

Seriously though. Why are you so god damn mean to people all the time? Half your comments are gratuitous insults and just mean comments out of nowhere, wrongly assuming people are conservatives, insinuating and accusing people of all kinds of insane bullshit. You should follow your own advice and "let it go" ffs. Your attitude is incredibly toxic as I've already said. You're bringing absolutely nothing of value to this community other than upsetting people for nothing.
