Opinion: The risk of political violence in Canada has never been higher

– that this was something new, and altogether more disturbing – was the correct one.

For starters, politics has never before had to deal with the radicalization engine of social media. There is a special ferocity to the current rage, an instantaneous, on-off, zero-to-60 quality, that is detached from any previous experience. It is also wildly out of proportion to any actual grievance. This is not accidental, because those in its grip are not responding to actual events or circumstances. An angry protester in the past might be worried he would lose his job to free trade, or that governments would de-index her pension.

. In a previous age, they would have been less likely to be exposed to them; those who were would have been isolated and alone, unsure if anyone else held the same views. Now they can go online and find support and encouragement from thousands of like-minded souls. More to the point, these views are being mainstreamed by populist media and political parties – indeed, by the presumptive leader of the Conservative Party. We have never before seen a leading candidate for high office in this country embrace the sorts of

Why are they showing the trucker protests? The only political violence going on there was the police beating protestors on orders from the not so Liberal government.

Same stuff going on in the States, blaming everything and everyone except the Liberals. “Conservative’s might not be the solution to all of our problems but the dam liberals are the cause of them” Dan B

You mean the same kind of violence Trudeau unleashed on peaceful protestors in Ottawa?

acoyne Higher than even in October 1970 when politicians and diplomats were being murdered and kidnapped? Or in the years prior to that when the FLQ was setting off bombs?

Jeez I wonder why? Maybe it has something to do with an authoritarian gov bent on divisive politics.

After listening to Trudeau threaten Canadians about mRNA shots, I couldn't agree more. Canadians are at real risk of physical violence by these LIBNDP+2.

You mean like this?

FLQ …1963 -1970 ..ring any bells? October crisis ..1970? Pierre Trudeau was PM? Now under PM Justin Trudeau “risk of political violence has never been higher”? No, it isn’t

And I wonder why? Political overreach and biased media make for an ugly result. Get ready to rumble!!

Guess the cause? Initials JT

Just more smears. You guys are disgusting.

Agreed. Time for JT to go so that the healing can begin.

I won’t pay to read Andrews options but maybe it has something to do with him calling people yobs.

That's fear mongering at its best . By our News media

Thank the incompetent, divisive far-left government for that

One persons option, worthless.

DEFUND THIS JUNK

It is literally criminal assault to inject people who haven’t provided informed consent free from coercion.

if you only poll those liberals who live in a world of make believe and misinformation only brings on this 'political violence' themselves they forment the unrest and hatred within Canada u solve the problem with adults who will actually do something about it not talk about it

Especially with the help of the Liberal Corporate Welfare Media Party which includes the the globe bought and paid for lies to Canadians.

By the left…ANTIFA AND BLM

And when will you acknowledge the role politicians have played in this? Remember these “experts” had this to say

Sensational headline. Key word in title 'opinion'

But Canadians are most angry about climate change, they said

Well, this is what happens when a national government lectures on gender identities, puts guilt trips of tragedies of the First Nations people on those who disagree and over react to a new virus pandemic that is not harmful . When one ignored a pot boiling.

Indignationpunk A proper news outlet would be asking why

Thank Trudeau and the state run media for that

BrynnWalker5309 Politicians in Canada have never been this Tyrannical.

I think as long as JT is PM IT WILL STEADILY INCREASE

BrynnWalker5309 And yet the super easy solution is never talked about….

Liberal funded propaganda

Can't stop laughing...

We can thank our Divisive PM JustinTrudeau an his band of liberal_party MP along with the bias MSM for spreading lies & misinformation - CBCPolitics EvanLSolomon CTV_PowerPlay

Is it only a risk when it's directed at criminal politicians or also when they unleash the RCMP onto innocent people and lock them out of their own lives? this problem starts at the top.

As long as Trudeau and Heir Freeland are in power it will continue and get worse daily

It has been fueled by the Liberals dividing Cdns von various issues and select journalists who spew nonsense, while hiding behind the term Journalist. Government and Media have sunk to a new low perpetuating negativity amongst Canadians.

Just look South to see what is definitely coming. We don’t need a Crystal Ball.

Politic (adj.) directly from Latin politicus 'of citizens or the state, civil, civic,' Greek politikos 'of citizens, pertaining to the state & its administration; pertaining to public life,' means they serve the people!Go to a restaurant & get no service. See how happy you'll be!

Terrible opinion.

Politicians are the only source of violence.

Thanks, Convoy.

Trudeau and the liberals to blame

no shiiiit!

Yes because of people like Poilievre and a good part of the Conservative party.

Lol. We’ve had massive peaceful protests with little to no incidents. Canadians are some of the most peaceful people on earth, regardless of who we vote for. You can’t pull the wool over our eyes, this article is BS 😂

You mean the risk of violence from our politicians, right?

Political violence has already started. Reference below. Liberal party extremism is a real danger.

Never has a political party (liberal_party) caused such division, mayhem, blatant anti-Canadian sentiment, crime, human rights violations, etc! CanadaHasNoPrimeMinister LiberalCorruption LiberalsAreTraitors

Racializing? I think we may have found one of our sources for the publics anger here.

Thanks to who?

is inaccurate. Risk of political violence was much higher with the FLQ. “From 1963 to 1970, the Quebec nationalist group Front de libération du Québec detonated over 200 bombs.” …and then there was the murder. My goodness, journalists with no knowledge at all.

And it will most likely come from your government.

The populist trumpist Conservatives have a big part of responsibility for this situation

In the ideal society ,people concern and anger was heard ,so they have no reason or motivate others to act angrily .Plus they got election to represent their opinions.However ,the country led by party that did not get most votes unite with the other party that got even less vote

Well, that’s their plan. 🤷‍♂️ The WEF and Trudeau, they are communists, and communism is always violent and never works.

Wonder why ...

And nobody is asking why? Do you think it might have something to do with this guy and what he has been saaying?

huh. It's a mystery as to why.

We threw people in the garbage like they weren't human beings like their lives had negative value. Of course people are fucking pissed

BrynnWalker5309 You wish.

LyndaE222 Wonder why I’m sooooo confused!?!? Perhaps do a poll or something….

nonsense - more mainstream lies *you guys are the best cheerleaders for the oligarchs and JustinTrudeau - king of the Canadian Oligarchs... ever... There was no violence before... there's none coming now... from a center wing millennial / reality p.o.v. Hire a journalist

Dahhhh ya think ? Look at the 💩head at the wheel, not for Canada for himself!

we will never forget ....

Trash article

You share in that risk by always defending our corrupt government

Hmm. I wonder who created all the divisiveness? The sir name Trudeau comes to mind. He went as far as using public health & bodily autonomy as campaigning platforms during the last election.

And I wonder why that is ? Oh wait I am sure it's the Conservatives fault for spreading lies and misinformation and conspiracy theories right ?

Because MSM and BlackfaceHitler keep whipping up the fear and division.

I wonder why! Actually, no. Not really! This, too, was new and unsettling. And wrong!

Our world is where; the majority have their head in a device, on line comments have no consequences, bicycles at a park and kids screaming in fun is not the norm, social media algorithms skew preferences, politicians/athletes lie and cheat, and bad housewives are on tv plus Trump

Well that should tell people just how bad of a job Trudeau is doing

Can't imagine why

Political violence

Gee, wonder why

Other countries are currently attempting to physically remove their corrupt Trudeaupian style governments. The Trudeau regime is lucky Canadians remain so peaceful

Trudeau sought to divide Canadians and incite anger. With your help, he is succeeding.

Are the extreme left / Antifa planning more violence and attacks? Maybe time to start making arrests?

Unfortunately JT has been extremely divisive and has referred to people making personal health choices by some bad names, so it doesn't help the situation. Need leadership that unites. Not divides

the tyrant in office abuses his people when they voice rejection of his tyranny the dictator starts a war against his critics and his lapdog media helps vilify his political enemies, a strategy stolen from 1939 Germany

Thanks to JT the divider in chief

The Canadian People have been subject to Political Violence for almost 3 years. TrudeauForTreason TrudeauMustGo

There has already been all kinds of violence, conducted on the citizens of Canada by it's government.

BS

Which “expert” did acoyne use? Barbara Perry, Bernie Farber, or another Trudeau funded fabricator?

I think in this case 'you reap what you sow' seems quite fitting. The MSM and this current government are causing division and inciting people to lash out because they feel powerless.

cdnpoli TrudeauCorruption JustinTrudeau TrudeauWorstPMEver liberal_party TrudeauNationalDisgrace TrudeauMustResign

Well they keep threatening us... watcha expect a birthday party 🤣🤣🤪

Climate change makes people angry.

The federal government should probably stop terrorising us then.

It's hardly surprising what with so many Nazis, fascists, white supremacist conolialists and genociders running around.

From the government themselves since, words are violence. Since that is now a primary societal mantra then, our PM has been the most violent towards its own citizens in our countries history Fact.

I was a huge disposable income spender now just pocketing it all, if many are like me I don't see how anyone can see anything except endless insolvencies of business, while they attack those who disagree with identity politics that won't feed or heat my house.

Happens when your marginalize and even make false labels on parts of it, lock it down/divide it, foreign policy based on lies and an ever increasing cost of living.

blame the media and there king trudoo

Get rid of Trudeau

Hahaha Flq. Fools

Where is all this BS coming from. Is it possible the Liberal ran media is ramping up BS because of PP? Love this country, but I do not like seeing this BS

As this country continues to go in a certain direction under this leadership, people are finally seeing the writing on the wall and pumping the brakes.

We need to ask ourselves why? What has changed the the past few years?

You mean the risk of civil uprising has never been higher then it is now. People are tired of being taken advantage of.

And only the government should have the monopoly on political violence

What a surprise, acoyne

The only ones inciting political violence are the politicians through their bought & paid for MSM. How long do you think the people will be bullied?

If you even questioned these politically motivated mandates, You are 'A Fringe'. You needed to be blocked from social media, let go from your job, have your bank accounts frozen, doxxed...You are the bad guy, Love Canada, and its brothers and sisters? you have been 'Socialized'

LOL Aladdin’s 🇨🇦 Banana Republic 🇨🇦 BlackFaceHitler 🇨🇳🧦🌴🍾🤡🎈 Massive Corruption ✔️ Daily Lying ✔️ Non-Answers ✔️ Paid Media ✔️ Authoritarianism ✔️ Never Ending Cover-Ups ✔️ Insane Spending & Waste ✔️ Censorship ✔️ Global Irrelevance ✔️

risk The RCMP has been engaging in political violence since its foundation

These conspiracy theorists are out of control
