Why is Andrea Horwath defending an NDP candidate who helped to name an Ajax street after a Nazi naval officer? Opinion by Star columnist reggcohn:

Imagine your local government naming your local street after a long-dead Nazi naval officer in 2007.

Today, it all seems so bizarrely offensive, insensitive and inexplicable. So I asked for an explanation, given that Parish was just this monthI put the request to Ontario’s NDP on Friday morning, but he was unavailable. Instead, the party referred me to his previous public statements, and those of party leader Andrea Horwath, saying he meant no offence.

What’s peculiar about Parish is that he stuck to his guns for so many years. To be clear, no one wants to write Langsdorff out of history, or history books, or museum exhibits; people just don’t want to see his name up in lights. The problem with his belated statement this month is that it’s conditionally “unconditional.” Parish doesn’t actually retract his wrong-headed views, which is his right, nor does he say whether he’s changed his mind after refusing his chance for a do-over in 2020.

reggcohn Have you seen her kid lol she should be at home trying to raise them lol

reggcohn Canada now has more Nazis than any other country in history great work Justin

reggcohn Frankly l think , naming a street after a Nazi officer is inappropriate but Ajax during the War , was the site of munitions production , the town is named after British vessel or naval officer , it was the site , of a refugee camp after WW 11 , but naming after Nazi , not right.

reggcohn How about because she is also unworthy of our time. Hey Andrea what will you complain. About today!? Waiting....

reggcohn Because Horwath is dilusional at best.

reggcohn A socialist defends a socialist naming a street after a socialist? Well I just don’t know why.

Honouring the victims of the Québec City mosque attack means taking action against IslamophobiaIn the same way that 'Black Lives Matter' was repeated after the murder of George Floyd, and 'All Children Matter' was repeated after the discovery of the remains of the First Nations children, it is time to declare: 'Muslim Lives Matter.'

Australia pledges US$700M to save Great Barrier ReefThe Australian government on Friday pledged to spend another 1 billion Australian dollars (US$704 million) over nine years on improving the health of the Great Barrier Reef after stalling a UNESCO decision on downgrading the natural wonder's World Heritage status. Probably a good idea. I hear that thing is really important. But apparently the jury is still out on science and saving the planet. So this will probably get torpedoed as woke libcuck snowtard spending when they could use it for offshore drilling. Maybe the pledge amt should be depicted in what percentage of total amt of money made by exploitation of natural resource! Dollar amt is not the correct indicator if they are making way more money by exploiting it, and then throwing tiny bits for self-image marketing!!

Trudeau concerned trucker convoy converging on Parliament Hill could turn violentPrime Minister Justin Trudeau says he's concerned about the potential for violence during this weekend's planned protest on Parliament Hill by truckers and others joining the crowd. That’s a possibility whenever thousands of people converge. Literally hockey games result in violence. His policy has been abusive to Canadians so I wouldn’t be surprised if it got ugly either. 😬😫 He is so concerned that he 'quarantined' needlessly, insults the whole group and then hides somewhere. He needs to grow some balls and answer for what he has done to Canada. He can bring all the premiers to take some of the heat. The very unintelligent on the way in this TruckersForFreedom2022 , violence most likely going to happen sadly, too many very low iq people and this ConvoyForFreedom2022 shows that in its supporters 💀🤣
