Trudeau: No apologies, pledges to call out 'hate speech' (asking about illegals is now hate speech)

Hate speech and the politics of division are creating a "dangerous path" for Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday as he vowed to steer clear of such roads and to continue calling out those who rely on "extremist" methods to make their voices heard.

Trudeau made the comments when asked whether he went too far in accusing a Quebec woman of racism and intolerance as she heckled him last week during a rally in Quebec...

During a campaign-style rally Thursday southeast of Montreal, the woman shouted questions in French at Trudeau, asking him when the federal government would repay Quebec for costs it has incurred as a result of an influx of "illegal immigrants" coming over the Canada-U.S. border.

Trudeau will get tossed next election and he worried big time

Music to my ears, and I hope you know what you're talking about.

We have been sending our losers to Canada for a long time.

During and after our revolutionary, a lot of losers went to Canada.

More went there, during the Nam years.

Apparently, more losers with severe Trump depression are going there, and illegals no longer welcome here are going there.

“I thank God that we have a real deal in a POTUS and that is President Donald J. Trump, who BTW is a non politician, but he looks out for America and he is the real deal, since he will ‘MAGA’ which no other POTUS has ever said or done in my lifetime.”

Mine, too. Voted for President Reagan when I was 18 and eligible to vote. After Ronaldus Magnus,it’s been downhill until 2016.

Best. Election. Ever. EVER! MAGA! :)

“Hate speech” is anything that isn’t “Yowsa, Massah.”

To think how close we came to taking Canada, we would have turned into something useful.

We should collapse it?

Nah. The Eastern heavily populated parts are collapsing on their own. We don’t have to do anything.

The Western parts are actually more Texan than Texas. They’ll get by just fine.

Canada is lost, it is a second world he’ll hole. We should collapse it and take over the good parts.

You might be on to something here. What if we managed to work out a deal with Canada to become America North (not to be confused with North America)?

All the leftists could then be forced to migrate to America North while us Normals kept the regular America (America South?) going good and strong. Of course this would mean we would need even more secure borders to make sure the illegals didn't get in at all and the leftists would be held to their 30 day visa stays. Might have to implant trackers deep into their brains or heart to keep them honest. You know how them leftists like to cheat and all. ;)

It would be interesting to see how fast America North looked like today's Venezuela.

> there are enough nutcase liberals in the Greater Toronto Area to assure him victory in the next election <

The Founders of the United States were certainly wise to set up the Electoral College. The USA can pretty much avoid such problems.

Canada: no First Amendment, no Second Amendment, no Electoral College. That all adds up to lots of pain ahead.

You must travel outside of the big Canadian cities to meet good ,tough, hard scrabble Canadians.

Yes, right on. A major highway of 4000 miles in length and all sorts of varied Canadian small towns scattered. I do not like to see us here in Canada all tarred with the same brush. This with the elite high and mighty leftists.

I take the liberty to correct my post somewhat, re #16.previously. The Federal Government has offered $50 million dollars for three embattled Provinces. Hard hit by the latest surge of "illegals". They are Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba. Quebec would thus get about $35 million. Quebec claim they are in the red for $146 million.

Just ‘cuz you hate hearing it, doesn’t mean it’s hate speech.
