Speaking with reporters at the end of his visit to the capital Kiyv, Justin Trudeau accused Putin of “executing” opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

    It’s never okay for a government to freeze it’s citizens bank accounts. Let alone for political reasons, that’s fascist as fuck.

      I think people with swastikas on their flags are usually considered fascist.

      Maybe look into the paradox of tolerance.

        Read DUNE and quit parroting what they want you to say.

            Yes, I’m not aware of another one? EDIT (For those that’ve only seen the movies, there’s a lot of discussion of propaganda and governance in the novel, it’s not an “action novel” like in the show, it’s a commentary on fascism among other things)

        Make a fine for people who support nazi ideals. Don’t stop people from being able to pay for food with money they already earned.

          Do you think it’s wrong to freeze the bank accounts of members of al Qaeda?

          What’s the distinction between a member of al Qaeda and a Nazi? Both are foreign groups that use violence to get their way. Both groups are considered enemies of Canada.

          Should members of al Qaeda be allowed to do as they please in Canada because “they just have different ideals?”

            Strawman detected. Citizens protesting is not the same thing as foreign terrorists doing whatever.

            If a member of al Qaeda has a legal job that he gets paid for, he should be allowed to have the money he earned. Money for work is so basic.

      Ahh, good ol’ right wingers using words they don’t understand to make arguments they don’t fully comprehend.

      Are you Canadian?

      If you are you should be able to understand how a minority government can not be fascist.

        …Fucking are you ? Jesus. Complete lack of understanding of how a parliament works on display.

            (Looks at recent parliamentary history) Apparently when they have a deal with a spineless goof, yes.

                  I have conversations with people who put in effort and I block people who are worth the 15 seconds it takes.

                  You’re neither one of these people.

                  Have a nice night.

                    Oh look. More facile dismissiveness with zero substance, clearly meant to provoke, just like your entire post history.
