Canada isn't looking too hot these days...

I didn't know that Canada officials supported a country/lead governed by Hamas and radical islamist groups...

Um... that's the opposite of what the story was about.

You're forgetting to apply the ultimate filter to any given fact: "What would Trump say?"

Canada can't act completely smug watching the political gong show in the US.

'I wasn't thinking about sex': MP responds to claim that he made homophobic comment​

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/mp-denies-comment-was-homophobic-1.7335286

On Thursday, Genuis rose in the House to deny that his comment was homophobic.
"The point of that comment is to illustrate that, of course, meetings don't take place in the bathtub. A luxurious bathtub has nothing to do with meetings," he said.
"It had nothing to do with sex. I wasn't thinking about sex at all."

They are debating whether the above comments about a bathtub in the consul general's luxury apartment in New York was homophobic. Because priorities.

Trudeau accuses India of supporting violent crimes in Canada
RCMP says Indian government agents were involved in crimes in Canada, sparking angry denials from India
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/rcmp-india-expel-1.7351837

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the Indian government has made a "fundamental error" as he accused it of supporting a campaign of violence against Canadians on Canadian soil.

The prime minister spoke to reporters Monday, hours after the head of the RCMP laid out stunning allegations accusing agents of the Indian government of playing a role in "widespread violence" in Canada, including homicides, and warned that it poses "a serious threat to our public safety."

"The RCMP chose to come out today and disrupt the pattern of Indian diplomats collecting — through questionable and illegal means — information on Canadian citizens," Trudeau said. That information was fed to criminal organizations that "would then take violent actions from extortion to murder," he said.
..
The commissioner said there have been "well over a dozen" credible and imminent threats to members of the South Asian community, specifically members of the pro-Khalistan movement.

This is very bad. You would think there would be irrefutable proof to make this sort of allegation, so I'm leaning that it's a legit threat. Luckily it's only towards a small group and not Canadians in general, but it's really no different than Russia or isreal putting out hits in the country.

Until today, I did not realize Lee Greenwood had a Canadian version of his song:

What Canadian documents can he bind into his bible?

LOL someone's been watching John Oliver!!

Aukshally... we have our own Constitution, the "Charter" of Rights and Freedoms and the "Oath" of allegiance. (Seriously).

The only one we don't have is a declaration of independence because we still allow the brit royals to mooch off of us.
I guess we could include the menu from Tim Hortons or the rulebook for Hockey?

Literally trying to buy the vote. They're missing Black Friday though, and why they extended it to Valentines day is an odd choice.

Apparently Santa was the reason UHC players had to walk through downtown Toronto to get to their game.

Canada's PM resigned. But as a big "Fuck U Eh", instead of an election, or appointing an interim leader, he prorogued parliament till late March.
Which basically put the country on hold, but lets his party keep power.

All just 2 weeks before tump takes power. Which is a pretty important time to have a working government. The writing was on the wall and he could have resigned sooner & got the succession plan rolling as soon as the US election was over, but instead his ego made him hang on to power until the last possible moment (his party was about to vote him out), and screw over the country in the process.

Slow joe is doing the same thing to America on his way out. I'm sure you heard about the death sentence commutings. Which is bad enough, but then there was the whole medal of freedom debacle.
