Waving Trump flags... 🤦♂️
That's the conservative platform right there. Blame Trudeau for everything and idolize a fascist Republican cult leader.
This type of harassment is as likely to gain Trudeau sympathy and/or support as not. The 'bozo factor' had sunk Conservative fortunes in the past and seems set to do an encore.
I suspect that that would never occur to these smooth-brain, Facebook-addled idiots.
I'm not a fan of Trudeau, nor the Liberal party in general, but it's about what I'm left with following the collapse of the Conservatives into the abyss of populist willful ignorance and downright, abject stupidity.
I do begrudgingly agree with John Baird on Trudeau being pretty successful overall. I've voted for him before, and it looks like I'll do it again.

My only concern here is when this gets bad enough, it incentivizes the centrist party to mostly ignore the misinformation and radicalization rather than trying to stamp it out. In the states, the Democrats seems to be just a little too content fundraising on the fringe Republicans. Then you end up with a Trump and/or stochastic terrorism.
Trudeau was set to meet with about 10 vendors, but he couldn’t make his way to the other side of the public square after being swarmed by the dozens of protesters. Some of them were holding Trump flags, while others were screaming expletives about the government and the media.
America is paying us back for Justin Beiber by brainwashing our idiots.
Some of them were holding Trump flags
I struggle to find words to express the stupidity of this. Even dumber than the same happening in the USA and that is frightfully stupid.
I'm from Belleville, this is embarrassing 🤦♂️ I promise this is a beautiful city with only a handful of idiots
Aw, no one blames Belleville. This is typical Ontario. Could be any town.
Yeah even in native circles this stupidity is rampant.
Facebook and most popular social media is like brain cancer at this point. Most people look at this crap every day and believe like mindless zombies everything they see.
Social media has tapped into the most basic animal cores of the human brain and it's leading everyone towards a cliff. Progress is measured by how fast we can run towards that abyss.
They are very loud, though. Do they still try to arrest the police or whatever they do? I'm pretty sure I watched a video of something like that.
Do they still try to arrest the police
I'm sorry, what?
Must be thinking of the incident in Peterborough…
Queen Romana (queen of Canada in case you missed the news) had her insane followers attempt to arrest some police officers. The video should be put to the Benny Hill music.
queen of Canada in case you missed the news
That's out of date.
Now she claims to be queen of the world. And somehow she still has followers who appear to be true believers in her insane ramblings.
I honor you Queen ~~Carlotta~~ Romana!
NSFW? It is a clip from John Waters 1977 classic "Desperate Living",
Waters always has a way of making me feel very uneasy about humanity.
This clip did not disappoint.

Do they still try to arrest the police
No, that was the followers of Queen Dildo.
They're a completely different level of insanity.
And, no, that article is not satire.
Hey, I'm sorry those idiots made the city look bad and victimized all its residents.
What is wrong with people? Who taught them to believe that this behaviour is acceptable?
There are lots of politicians I don’t like. I see many out at events in Ottawa. And I… go about my day and leave them alone.
"some of them were holding Trump flags" says all you need to know.
This is 100% the result of online misinformation.
I'm voting Liberal to go against what these morons want.
Nah. Still just vote for whatever party can put forth a plan that will HELP CANADIANS. The conservatives have never fielded a plan like that, so it'll feel the same but for a better reason -- and it allows for a case where the oranges or greens can actually get the vote and execute on a plan.
(and, may I say, the 1995-era Green plan of managed resource harvesting was an especially excellent pro-fishing, pro-forestry, pro-mining, pro-sawmill, pro-paper-mill, and pro-hydro plan that was ruined only by THEIR fringe members being on TV so much. Had they a hope of pulling it off, industry out here could have been different than the one we got from pro-ceo bc-reds or pro-rich-bitches blues)
I do both :) It's also good to see the bc reds have finally renamed themselves.
What's so great about fishing?? Surely we should be trying to do less.
A lot of fishing conservation programs are not just about making fishing accessible for Canadians, its also about keeping fish population/levels healthy by monitoring water conditions, kick starting remedial work, and raising and stocking fish for natural populations.

Good resource management means long-term protection and stability, often at the expense of short-term profits. Boom-bust "jobs" vs stable careers and trades you can pass on to the next generation.
Anyone with a trump flag or maga hat should be removed from Canada. I suggest Texas.
