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

    The statement kinda loses it’s impact once you realize it’s coming from a leader who illegally broke up a protest against himself and his government

      Are you talking about those antivax pieces of garbage who harassed homeless people and local businesses because another country wouldn’t let them across their border?

        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.

            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?”

      It was perfectly legal. And those protestors asked for things like “no vaccine required to enter USA”, Trudeau had nothing to do with that. Those protestors then degenerated into various conspiracy, and basically wanted to remove Trudeau and put a dictator instead. It was almost a coup, not a “protest”.
