...well... if you're Canadian political royalty...
Time will tell if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s apology for wearing blackface will be accepted by Canadians. We do know he has not accepted similar apologies from his fellow Liberals facing charges of racism.
"Those statements were not in keeping with what the Liberal Party stands for and certainly that is why the individual is no longer a part of our team.”
..."LOOK, LOOK... SQUIRREL!!!"...
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pledged a ban on “military-grade” semiautomatic rifles in an attempt to redirect his campaign after his blackface controversy.I'm sure the bought & paid for Canadian media is all over this. Of course, not a single Canadian shooting has been perpetrated with an AR15. Zero. Zilch. Nada.
City News reports that Trudeau announced the rifle ban on Friday in Greektown, Toronto, the area of the city in which a gunman shot 15 people, killing two, last year.
"It's a complicated and expensive solution to a problem that doesn't even exist."The semi-automatic (one bullet at a time) AR15 is classified as a "restricted rifle" which already means Canadians with a regular firearms license have to go an extra step to acquire one. In Canada rifles are also restricted to five round magazines and you can only use this particular gun on a "restricted rifle" range.
The AR15 doesn't begin to approach the lethality & capability of the .762 Remington M700, a much-loved staple of the Canadian deer-hunting community... and the US Marines Combat-Hunter program.
The salient point here, is that the gun used in the Beaches shooting spree, as in virtually all Canadian criminal shootings was an illegal, unregistered handgun.
In August, 2018, amid a national debate over a handgun ban following a deadly shooting in Toronto’s Danforth neighbourhood, The Globe set out to answer one question central to that debate: Where do the guns used in crimes come from?
"Persons who visited the cafe were shocked and insulted when presented with the dish"...
Swedish furniture company IKEA transgressed against wokedness by adding jerk chicken to their cafe menu in the UK. Their version of the Caribbean dish featured white rice and green peas.The horror... I mean, it's not like UK "communities" have any bigger fish to fry...
This is racist, because when people in the Caribbean say “rice and peas,” they mean “rice and kidney beans.”
"Figures reported in April showed that 73 per cent of offenders and 53 percent of victims of knife crime were of a black or minority ethnic background."**********
The victim of a fatal shooting in Scarborough on Thursday night has been identified as 25-year-old Charankan Chandrakanthan. Police say he was found in a vehicle suffering from two gunshot wounds.Ask yourself... which story has upset the left more... jerk chicken or murder?
Easy for you to say, dude...
"I have shoe polish in my closest... and every morning it’s a struggle."
...have regular fetish dress-up dates...
The Liberal Party leader stopped short of putting an exact number on the amount of times he’s dressed up in blackface.Somebody should ask whether he always sports his own underwear.
“I am wary of being definitive about this because recent pictures that came out I had not remembered."
...just keep those equalization payments flowing, merci...
"I can understand that some people were hurt by these pictures. But Mr. Trudeau said that he was sorry. I think we have to talk about something else," said Premier François Legault.
The leader of the sovereignist Parti Québécois, Pascal Bérubé, went so far as to play down the condemnations issued by Trudeau's federal rivals.
CBC News and Radio-Canada reporters interviewed more than a dozen voters in the riding of Papineau on Thursday. All but one said they would still vote for Trudeau.
...it's over-exuberant enthusiasm...
“The fact of the matter is that I’ve always - and you’ll notice - been more enthusiastic about costumes than somehow is sometimes appropriate. But these are the situations that I regret deeply,” Trudeau said....and, apparently a fetish for cosmetics...
So, Trudeau can regret what he did, and say (a nice common touch) that he’s “pissed off” at himself, but as he kept talking Wednesday night, it was clear — by the references to brownface as makeup, by several allusions to the picture happening many years ago — that he was cutting himself the slack he has denied to so many others.**********
He’s different, you see. He can judge the rest of us harshly, but not himself.
During the last election, Marc Garneau ran for PM.
His background...BA Science degree in Engineering Physics, Doctorate in Electrical Engineering, retired military officer, former astronaut, engineer, President of the Canadian Space Agency, ninth Chancellor of Carlton University.
Justin Boy has a famous last name. The Liberal party chose Justin Boy.
...almost has enough material for a NetFlix special...
"Then, on Thursday morning, more damaging material surfaced. Mr. Trudeau’s campaign spokeswoman, Zita Astravas, confirmed that a video posted by GlobalNews, a Canada-based news organization, showed the prime minister in the early 1990s dressed in blackface and an Afro wig."What??!! Like dem coloured folk do? The only thing missing is watermelon & fried chicken.
"In the video, he is waving his hands around and sticking out his tongue."
UPDATE: It ain't all about groping women reporters
"Stepin Fetchit" is morphing into "stepped in dog shit"...
"The prime minister’s official director of communications did not return multiple calls."
Trudeau was not the only person in costume at the 2001 gala event.FROM THE COMMENTS:
But, of the individuals in six photographs from the event published in the yearbook, Trudeau appears to be the only one who darkened his skin.
"On the radio just now the Canadian Press is calling it 'brown face' rather than the death penalty offence of 'black face'."And...
"Hey!!!!! Ralphie!!!! TIME found one of those racists for you."**********
"Following this revelation, Justin Trudeau apologized and stated that he had also put on blackface during a high school performance."...fool me three times... shame on me...
"The video, it’s from 2003, I’m told – more recent than the photos from last night."
"In it, he acts like an ape – which leaves me to wonder if that’s what he thinks black people are like."
Now that's a little strange... this "professional" journalist has absolutely nothing to say about the "plaza's prayer room" where the gunfight occured...
Aurangzeb Chaudhry, owner of a convenience store in a plaza near Jane Street & Finch Avenue, said he had just told a man where the plaza's prayer room was located, when suddenly he reappeared with a bullet wound.So what religion are we talking about here? And wouldn't a house of worship be the perfect place to dodge the cops?
He went there and got shot and he came back over here." The man then asked him to call 911.
The two gunmen are believed to have escaped on foot, each running in opposite directions. For people who work in this plaza, they are used to the gun violence, they said.**********
This was the fifth time in recent memory there has been a shooting in the area.
"Police have identified the 18-year-old victim in Monday's fatal shooting on Highway 410 in Brampton. He is D'rae Rhooms-Peters from Brampton."
...because that's racism...
“I think that kind of talk about sort of, you know, where this all arises from, or sort of who’s to blame, is not very constructive,” Toronto Mayor John Tory told reporters in Nathan Phillips Square.Sorry, folks... if you're not measuring, you're not managing.
Of Canada's two million "licensed" gun owners... 0.00555% used their firearm to murder someone. On the other hand, in 2005, 64% of accused murderers had a prior criminal record, including 6% for homicide.**********
The study, published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, said that by cutting plastic pollution in the Yangtze River — the third-longest in the world and located in China — and the Ganges River, located in India, ocean pollution could be reduced by half.
...to shut down the blackmarket criminals?
At 2 a.m. on Saturday, a traffic stop just outside Toronto led to a police seizure of 426 pounds of marijuana worth roughly $1.9 million if sold on the blackmarket.I guess Kiryl and Damaris didn't get the message.
26-year-old Kiryl Andrushkevich of Oakville and 32-year-old Damaris Nataren Ortega of Toronto appeared in court on Sunday./
"A quick visit to the CBC website gives me a lead story about “How the parties deal with fizzles and flops on the campaign trail” followed by '5 things Jagmeet Singh wants you to know about his turban,' neither of which I can guarantee you is anyone’s ballot question sat around the supper table."Speaking of the big, bloated Mothership...
Journalists aren’t supposed to get gifts, they aren’t supposed to skip lines, and in terms of business, they shouldn’t be bailed out by the government.
TORONTO -- Canada’s reputation as a hotspot for birth tourism is rising fast, with new data reporting a 13 per cent increase in one year.

"Shortly after 6 p.m., Toronto police responded to a shooting outside Tony's Espresso Bar, near Dufferin Street and Glencairn Avenue."Italian eatery... pro hitter... that sounds so familiar.

Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday announced that he has commuted the sentences of 21 prison inmates.Thus rendering the phrases "life sentence" and "no chance of parole" totally obsolete. Go Dems.
Most were convicted of murder or attempted murder; seven had been serving life terms with no chance of parole.

Alleged witness thinks Christine Blasey Ford lied...
Reporters Robin Pogebrin and Kate Kelly quietly admit that Christine Blasey Ford’s lifelong friend Leland Keyser did not believe her friend’s tale of a sexual assault at a party they both supposedly attended.And now, there's this...
We spoke multiple times to Keyser, who also said that she didn’t recall that get-together or any others like it. In fact, she challenged Ford’s accuracy. “I don’t have any confidence in the story.”
The far-left New York Times has been shamed into adding a humiliating “correction” to its latest and now-debunked smear of Associate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

The Trayvon Hoax is two things. It’s the story of how a real phone witness to Trayvon Martin's final minutes was switched for a fake witness. America got played by an epic race hoax that divided us for no reason.Think it doesn't happen here in Canada... THINK AGAIN.
...a line of team-branded yarmulkes? What about Raptor kilts, turbans, cowboy boots, rosaries or dreamcatchers?
The Toronto Raptors say a new line of team-branded hijabs is part of a broader effort to be more inclusive to fans of ALL cultures.**********
When they ask, "Why do you not give women the freedom to appear without hijab," we should answer, "Why do you give them this harmful and threatening freedom in such a way?"Right on, your Supremacy... the NBA & NIKE are right there with you!
...strike yet again...
One person is dead and five people are in hospital after a shooting in Mississauga, Peel police say. It's very early in the investigation, there are multiple suspects but no descriptions have been released.Here's the thing... those evil guns don't just escape and fire themselves. I'm thinkin' somebody was pulling those triggers.
"There were reports a music video was being shot in the area where the shooting occurred."Wait a minute... there's a correction coming in. Hmmm... and you can smell the federally subsidised "professional" journalism...
A music video was being filmed behind the building, but it's unknown if the shooting was related to that filming in any way.Individuals, huh? Hey, maybe it was Ralph Goodale's infamous right-wing Neo-Nazis. You go CBC!!!
Police are searching for "multiple individuals armed with semi-automatic weapons," who fled from the area after the shooting.
Another music video filmed at the location last week is believed to have motivated the attack, McCord said, adding that “information within that rap video that is challenging other people within the community.”That's some "community" you've got there, brah.
More than 100 shell casings have been recovered from the area so far, but officers are continuing to comb the scene.
On the bright side, there'll be plenty of familiar faces there to greet him...
