In agonizing for 21 seconds before answering a question about President Donald Trump’s threat to send the military after civilian protesters in American cities, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau likely risked causing as much trouble as he was hoping to avoid.
But here, at least, he was getting to the nub of the issue: To the extent the federal government can make things better for marginalized Canadians, Trudeau is the guy driving the boat. To read some of his ministers’ pensées, you would think they were just regular folks. We need to acknowledge that racism and discrimination are a part of our reality here in Canada and around the world and we all need to call it out.— Catherine McKenna May 31, 2020“Anti-Black racism is real. It’s real in the U.S., in Canada, and around the world,” associate finance minister Mona Fortier chimed in. “Is this a difficult conversation? Yes. Is it necessary? Absolutely. Together, we can and must do better.
Anti-Black racism is abhorrent and unlawful. We cannot remain silent. We must acknowledge the lived experience of our fellow Canadians and work together to end this injustice. Now is the time to unite and to act. “This is a continuing approach that the Conservatives seem to be doing, which is dismissing our courts and dismissing the judgments of our Supreme Court on issues that really matter to Canadians,” soon-to-be finance minister Bill Morneau said at a 2015 debate. “It’s a bill that puts people in danger, and we would not stand for it.”
Nothing happened. Justice Minister David Lametti’s January mandate letter makes no mention of sentencing reform.
The liberals aren’t perfect but they help more than any conservative government ever did.
That's the whole point of political virtue-signalling, it distracts everyone from the complete POS you actually are.
The ploy of the left. Identity politics until it comes time to deliver. What's worse is the take your vote for granted and expect your vote.
Reconciliation was always a lie
When non-whites do something wrong, we are told diversity is our strength. When whites do something wrong, it's racism and xenophobia. Trudeau's Canada, baby. Trudeau's Canada.
Piss off Chris!...that rag you work for belongs in a bird cage.
Liberals stand for everything but do NOTHING! other than cut cheques.

Liberals are the same as the Democrats in the US. All they do is point the finger at others. Obama sold hope in 2008, that is all he did. Trudeau promised big in 2015, almost 5 years later, all he has done is talk and spend to get votes.
