Worry less about extremists than the moderates who, by their incompetence or arrogance or greed or whatever, create the ponds in which extremists swim.
Not a very science based approach to examining an argument or point of view.I don't listen to groups that
An MP for Papineau did.I don't think 1 MP is going to change the direction of the party.
Very true, but harder to deal with quickly - just because you're draining the stagnant water, or cleaning it up/improving it, doesn't mean you just ignore the mosquitoes still around. It's the balance that's important, though, where maybe a nuke shouldn't be the first weapon of choice against the mosquitoes?Worry less about extremists than the moderates who, by their incompetence or arrogance or greed or whatever, create the ponds in which extremists swim.

Yup.Still, you're happy to listen to someone who sexually assaulted a woman, had multiple ethics violations as world leader, weaponizes calling people Nazis to further his own agenda (Putin), openly admires a dictatorship (and appears to hide that countries interference in ours), behaviors (invoking the EA) which shocked intellectuals and rights advocates the world over.
Lightbound has his point of view, people can agree with it or not. It appears that others did listen to him respectfully. I don't think he was disparaged or kicked from caucus.An MP for Papineau did.
What were the excuses for not listening to Lightbound again?
One of those 'the science is settled' situations.It's very science based.
Islamaphobia specifically or a prejudice against all religions? It seems to me like the LPC is quick to condemn Islamaphobia (rightly so, even though it ridiculously includes simple criticism) but seems a little less inclined to defend Christian beliefs, don't you think?The closer to extremistism and islamaphobia a party is the less I listen to those in said parties.
I guess it remains to be seen how high he rises now.Lightbound has his point of view, people can agree with it or not. It appears that others did listen to him respectfully. I don't think he was disparaged or kicked from caucus.
Its settled to me. Dont listen to german nazi sympathizersOne of those 'the science is settled' situations.
ADF is Islamaphobic, full stop. So I dont care what their Member of parliament says.Islamaphobia specifically or a prejudice against all religions?

No leader said anything. MEP are members of parliament. With PR, those on the extreme left and right get into parliament. (A very good argument against PR right here). So no leader brought up the protest, individual Members of the European parliament hailing from extremist parties who think vaccines mandates are capital punishment brought up the protests.Besides, why did those EU leaders bring up the protests anyways? It seems like a random thing to throw at the Canadian PM who was talking about aid for Ukraine.
Yup.I guess it remains to be seen how high he rises now.
Legacy media probably decided to ignore those who say covid mandates are akin to the death penalty.Too bad the Canadian Right have walked into a 'Trudeau Trap'.
Now he looks like a 'decisive wartime leader ', able to make the tough decisions and push people around a bit as needed instead of being ignored.
Thanks Guys, thanks alot....
Canadian media ignores scolding of Trudeau while rest of world reports it
Canadian media ignores scolding of Trudeau while rest of world reports it
Trudeau was treated to scathing condemnation by several Members of European Parliament (MEP) after giving a speech to the European Union on Wednesday.tnc.news
So, I strongly dislike Trudeau as much as the next person…German MEP Christine Andersen not mincing her words…
When you start to drink your own bath water, you look like a hero in the mirror…
You don’t have to at all.So, I strongly dislike Trudeau as much as the next person…
…but tell me why I should care what the European equivalent to Elizabeth May and Maxime Bernier think. I don’t think most other Europeans care either for that matter.
Ah so you're the kind of person that says everyone affiliated to a political view you don't like is on par with the KKKI don't listen to groups that openly embrace Islamophobia and want to look at the Nazi era in a less negative light. A party German courts call a open threat to democracy. Its like listening to the KKK. Would you?
If people want to post what those people say, I don't much care.
I don't give a damn what someone from the ADF has to say.
I don't think 1 MP is going to change the direction of the party.
I believe he said the ADF is on par with the KKK. It’s an extreme right wing party. Something Germany still has and is contending with.Ah so you're the kind of person that says everyone affiliated to a political view you don't like is on par with the KKK
That's like a conservative saying everyone affiliated to a political view they don't like is on par with Communists
Both very low IQ beliefs that can be seen from the politically biased on both sides. Top tier cringe, please be more open minded to either sides views rather than going "UHHH THEY LIKE KKK" or "UHHH THEY COMMUNISTS".
Are you calling the 13% of Germans that voted for a right-wing party Nazis? Jesus.
This is coming from someone who has never voted right wing in my life: You're crazy and need to stop calling massive political parties 'extremists'. Be more respectful to all democratic parties and their voting block and stop ripping the seams off of Western Democracy for your own political biases that many of us couldn't give less of a care about.
You don’t have to at all.
That’s the beauty of being Canadian. There is no need to think of, or care about what others think of us, it’s only what we think of ourselves, that counts.
Go read up on them. From I’ve seen they are pro Russia, and very much historical revisionists that want to return to Germany in the 30s and 40s as far as nationalism is concerned.
Not sure I would want champion this group even if they criticize Trudeau. Bad trade.
I believe that is the party in question.I don't follow German party politics. I did read up on "them". Just want to confirm if "Alternative for Germany" is the party being referred to?
If so, they do not seem particularly sensitive to the memories of victims of the Holocaust.
Alternative for Germany - Wikipedia

If not, sorry for the misunderstanding.
Actually, since they want to see their currency remain the de facto world trade standard, they actually do assess what others think of them, such as it affects their hegemonic and economic power.So, just like our southernneighboursneighbors.
No, thats them.I don't follow German party politics. I did read up on "them". Just want to confirm if "Alternative for Germany" is the party being referred to?
If so, they do not seem particularly sensitive to the memories of victims of the Holocaust.

Are they legit nazi sympathizers? What did they say exactly? Genuinely curious here.Its settled to me. Dont listen to german nazi sympathizers
I've heard that word thrown around often, especially by the LPC. I'd have to see the context to make an informed decision.Altair said:ADF is Islamaphobic, full stop. So I dont care what their Member of parliament says.
ALTAIR said:No leader said anything. MEP are members of parliament.
The guerilla is the fish and the people are their sea. Chairman Mao.Worry less about extremists than the moderates who, by their incompetence or arrogance or greed or whatever, create the ponds in which extremists swim.
