need I even bother digging up trudeau's statements of support re: american floyd protests?
come on, you know this is a feeble distinction.
other countries (like my own) never needed or implemented these crude, tyrannical vaccine mandates. trudeau is an international laughing stock.
- mmastrac 5y agoRegardless of his comments on the Floyd protests (which I do not have in front of me), the Canadian situation is comparable only to other Canadian protests. We are not America, and we are a country that has its own way of doing things. Using the phrase "tyrannical vaccine mandates" is not a great way to ensure a productive discussion, however.
- _dain_ 5y ago>the Canadian situation is comparable only to other Canadian protests selective parochialism; you would not hesitate to criticize brutal anti-protest measures in say, russia. >Using the phrase "tyrannical vaccine mandates" is not a great way to ensure a productive discussion, however. why should I mince words? that is what they are. just because the canadian ruling party has groupthinked themselves otherwise, does not mean it is not tyrannical. I will criticise the regime the same as I criticise other tyrannical despotisms.
- mmastrac 5y agoI don't think we can have a productive conversation, but I thank you for teaching me the word "parochialism" (though I disagree with your characterization).
