People will later say they didn’t know what was happening. They didn’t know any better. No, they were only minding their own business.

As a Canadian…yeah this doesn’t surprise me. I mean the House of Commons is just one big dog and pony show. nothing gets done during these sessions, it’s just political theatre to get sound bites on the CBC.

I honestly don’t know any Canadian that actually watches these. It’s just a massive circle jerk only for the politicians sitting in that room.

Democracy is a constant battle. While this act was a stupid moment I’m not yet willing to write Canada off.

God fucking damn it.

The moment poilievre made his return the racism immediately ramped up. He starated with the immigration right away, the next week we had racists in Toronto protesting against “immigration” we know they mean non white people since the entire crowd was whiter than a January morning.

And Alberta is now putting citizenship status on drivers licenses to make it easier for their hick cops to profile people.

And our enemy, anyone clapping should be arrested.

Was it everyone? Do we have any information on whether there were any sensible people refusing to take part in this?

jesus fucking christ, they honoured a nazi-supporting american second tier political figure in parliament? not appropriate

The last time they gave a Nazi a standing ovation, Chrystia Freeland aggressively pushed back against any calls to investigate how many Nazis Canada had harbored, and worked to thoroughly bury the story. And this wasn’t even her first Nazi scandal.

If the government tries to stop people from investigating Nazis (including your “left” party), it’s infested with Nazis.

I don’t know any Canadian who watches criminal trials, either, but that’s not an argument that they don’t get things done. I’ve only watched one inquest in my entire life. I’ve watched dozens of baseball games (though not in the last 30 years). Doesn’t mean anything.

Labour politics are not incompatible with conservatism! Wab Kinew is an Indigenous person leading the province probably most racist against First Peoples, and he’s the most popular Premier in Canada. If people would get over the propaganda it doesn’t take long to start remembering why the NDP has been one of the most effective and beneficial political forces of the last 100 years, all despite never forming a federal government.

Time for Canadians to wake up to the fact that their politicians are all trained seals answering to Washington?

We need names.

I don’t think this information is accurate. As far as I can tell, two children were shot (wounded) and the shooter committed suicide.

Still a way, way larger tragedy than a racist dying, though.

We should make a list of all the people in the radical right.

Not going bankrupt for getting sick is worth it in itself.

That’s not true. These types of investigations basically hand over tons of political power to your opponent. Anything discovered can be implied to be the government’s fault, and if little is found then it’s the government wasting money.

We don’t have the required refinement in the media and the political engagement of the average citizen to effectively use these kinds of investigations.

Leveraging this type of investigation is part of how Stephen Harper best Paul Martin.

I don’t give a damn if an investigation of government support of Nazis becomes a political setback for liberals.

Read more than the headline, and social media posts arent news.

Yes, Charlie Kirk’s assassination sparked a conversation about the importance of free speech and disavowing political violence in parliament. The standing ovation was not for Charlie, but for the outcome of that speech.

Still, not very tactful and the speech could’ve definitely been written better to be clear that the call is for defence of free speech and denouncing political violence, rather than support of Kirk.
