'He stands with the people': Why a small but fervent group of Canadians is rallying behind Donald Trump
National Post ^ | Jan. 14, 2021 | Tom Blackwell

The line of cars snaked through downtown, large Donald Trump and “Stop the Steal” flags protruding from their windows.

The motorized rally last Wednesday was in some ways a familiar sight in this season of endless dispute over the U.S. presidential election. As it unfolded, protestors egged on by President Trump stormed the Capitol building in Washington.

But the vehicular demonstration didn’t take place anywhere in the United States. The pro-Trump event traversed downtown Toronto, as other fans of the U.S. president held similar gatherings in Vancouver, Calgary and Red Deer, Alta.

And some Canadians actually made the trip to Washington, one describing on video his interactions with police outside the Capitol, the wider confrontation there triggering Trump’s unprecedented second impeachment on Wednesday.

Polls indicate that few people in this country think much of the hugely controversial U.S. leader.

But his unsubstantiated claims of election fraud have propelled a small coterie of Canadians to voice their loyalty in surprisingly visible ways.

“He is a true hero,” said Nasser Pooli, the Iranian-Canadian activist who organized the Toronto rally. “The whole world is behind Donald Trump … He stands with people, not with the government, not with the media — they lie to your face.”

Its not as small a group as you think

I have many friends and relatives in Canada. none live or work in downtown Toronto, so they are a normal group. Besides the few leftist dipshits that exist anywhere, most are pretty clear on the corruption, fraud and political games happening in the USA.

And this is supposed to be the conservative Canadian newspaper.

And let’s give credit to the Japanese woman who showed the FBI how to identify the ANTIFA terrorists that changed clothes to infiltrate the Trump patriots, YESTERDAY! She focused on John Sullivan, who the USCP have yet to name and ‘splain why he was allowed to leave the scene of a shooting (Babbit).

“Protestors egged on by President Trump....”

Bullcrap, Tom Blackwell of the National Compost.

President Trump told the crowd, “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

Don't forget that the Prime Mistake of Kanadahar, True-dope, bought off the MSM with $600 million in late 2018. The 'National Post is about as 'conservative' as the Tranna Grope and Flail (aka Globe and Mail). Yes, both are not as socialist as the Tranna Star, but to the MSM, PDJT represents 'orange man bad'.

The only really 'conservative' media in Canada are small internet outlets like Rebel News or True North. Both are regarded as 'fringe' by the MSM.

My father-in-law liked to read the "Alberta Report" before it disappeared.
