Social activists have already accused Trudeau of making a \u0027hollow gesture\u0027, without any substantive action to combat systemic racism

The attack comes after Trudeau took a knee as part of a crowd gathered on Parliament Hill in June in solidarity with anti-racism demonstrators protesting police killings of Black people.In a statement posted to the RCMP Veterans’ Association website, Favreau wrote, “Mister Prime Minister and all members of Parliament who try to gain political points on the back of the RCMP members should show some discomfort and embarrassment.

James Forrest, the director of communications at the RCMP Veterans’ Association, also said calls to defund the RCMP would not work.

Yeah no the RCMP was definitely universally beloved before this...

GirthyPole Can’t we just agree that the PM is one big clusterfuck.

He's not a prime Minister, he's a 2face racist puppet, double standards, Canada is becoming slowly a communist country, Trudeau does not support FREEDOM OF SPEECH..

Leave the PM alone. If one is not racist or have racial tendency shouldn't have a problem with PM kneeling. I am black and suffer racism in the work place.

When will people realize that supporting life for one group doesn’t mean humiliating another? I expect there are many police officers have no trouble taking a knee to support black lives. Egos are definitely at play here for all those they feel threatened by anti-racism.

He humiliates Canada every day he is in office!

Not surprising a police officer would feel this way...

He should be getting a grip on the country and stop all this protesting b.s. And maybe you RCMP critics should walk a mile in their shoes. Some have given their lives for this country. If you can’t stand behind them feel free to stand in front of them!!

WHAT THE HECK IS THAT TWEET! Mind your post, folks, or better delete it!!!

SeakasPerson trudeau has 'humiliating' canada all together.. he should be lock up for his crimes against the ppl.

Trudeau took a knee in support of protestors’ stance against systemic racism, not the RCMP. If I was an intelligent Canadian officer, I’d take a knee too.

National Post, more like a national disgrace. He can kneel if he wants to...he’s entitled to his own feelings.

If you're against racism why the fk are you not taking a knee?

Trudeau is an embarrassment to all Canadians.

Fuckin kneeler

This is like thinking of a witty comeback 10 minutes later. Gilles Favreau should be embarrased for defending a history of racism, sexism and abuses of authority for generations over a movement to save lives.

TheoFleury14 JT you are a disgrace

👎👎👎

The RCMP is humiliating itself by willingly enduring its members being white supremist misogynistic violent anachronisms.

What else do you expect from the National Post. Their favourite pastime is to bash Trudeau.

Trudeau should not have participated in this rally, during a pandemic, but humiliating the RCMP? Seriously? stupid

It was a politically motivated photo-op to pick the side that will provide the most voters. Smart move. Dumb move; the number one cause denouncing the action of unity with the downtrodden. No matter the skin colour, that's going to be offensive to all but the guilty.

Oh boo hoo.

So you found a couple of disgruntled people who feel that way? How much effort did you put into finding people who don’t feel that way? You know, for balanced reporting? Oh, never mind, you’re the National Post. Fair and balanced isn’t exactly your forte.

the only thing he humiliated is himself.

Of course, it’s NO surprise to see this anti-Trudeau headline from the National Post. rightwing

Well, I must say this is a little bit surprising. It’s cause I’m so used to him humiliating himself. Dont see him humiliating others much.....unless you count his mass humuliliation of Canadians every time he open his mouth, in which case this is normal behaviour

Good for you Trudeau! 😀

Probably a good thing this is a FORMER police officer with an attitude like that.

They are right. The Prime Minister should never participare in a protest. Certainly not one run by BLM and leftist Marxist group determined to wreck western society. But then, I guess it can bring in the leftist votes and CBC would be happy to promote it.

Imagine thinking that just acknowledging that black lives matter would some how humiliate your whole institution. rcmp Just say that you became a police officers so you can legal bully the public and be done with it. Shame on you! DefundThePolice

What kind of leader is Trudeau,kneeling to a certain group just to buy votes?I will kneel to the Alighty God is all.I love all races but will not be sheep to noone

TrudeauBlackface

They humiliated themselves through their own actions.

Why is it humiliating? He is kneeling cause he is their bitch😂instead of telling the RCMP to stop selling decommissioned cop cars after the NSshooting he banned guns.. he should do more to reformpolice cdnpoli nspoli

No kidding , kneeling to a socialist counter culture communist regime!!!!

Winge away. Could be a gesture of much needed up pulling of socks! TakeAKnee RCMP

JustinTrudeau SupremeLeaderTrudeau doesn’t care about any movement, doesn’t care who he insults or humiliates. His only care is the photo op and votes. It’s not personal with Trudeau, he would sell his own child for votes

Shameful to our entire police force. Shameful as a world leader. Not one other world leader took a knee.

Bird5Ca Join a crowded and growing list.

Time for the RCMP to answer the call of the PM to defund the police cause Racist. And start with the unit responsible of his personal security detail and those of all politicians. Let see how much they car about police.

TheoFleury14 Where's his social distancing?

He didn't humiliate anyone! The RCMP did that themselves by refusing to admit to having SYSTEMIC RACISM within their Organization. He had the BALLS to say yes we have it in Canada and it right across the board in ALL organizations.

TheoFleury14 I'd call that 'on a roll'. He's humiliated the entire country, so why should he stop now ?

And of course this is humiliating, actually I would admire skipper here if he had the guts to tell the police officers they are racist face2face. But no no no, all he did was cover his face so he had the excuse not to speak and took a knee and slapped everybody on their faces

How about Trudeau humiliating canada

Trudope = embarrassment 4 R country. He is Shameless. I can't stand the look of his face. He has personally annihilated any respect 4Cnda with his rediculous antics. His corrupt treasonous behaviour. Multiple ethics violations, groping women, supporting terrorists IT'S ENDLESS!

Absolutely support our police and quit acting like US their issues don’t have to become ours.

Good. DisbandRCMP

Fox News print edition?

Can’t wait for him to leave office. STAND UP CANADA 🇨🇦.

This ridiculous article only reaffirms what the majority of Canadians already know. That the RCMP is systemically racist.

The rcmp humiliate themselves

Humiliates the very people putting their lives on the line, all in the name of a photo op...TrudeauCorruption TrudeauBlackface TrudeauworstPMever

If the RCMP feels humiliated because Trudeau opposes police violence towards minorities, that says more about the RCMP than it does Trudeau.

what a ridiculous whine. basically since the RCMP protected the PM for most of his life the PM cannot call out racism. huh

Sorry what?

They or the military are not his friends.

Kneeling in solidarity with those against racism is something to be proud of! Those feeling 'humiliated' are simply triggered racist that can go f*** themselves. I'm supposed to feel sympathy for racist!?😒 F*** off !!!

Canada is back! Hazzzah!

Slow news day?

trudeau is an embarrassment to this country period. TrudeauMustGo

great shoes tho

I don't think a Prime Minister should take sides with special interest groups.

Humiliating? How about stop targeting BIPOC? They don’t get to be trigger happy and then be all sensitive when we call them out for it. DefundThePolice

They didn't need Trudeau for that...

Fuck the RCMP

rcmpgrcpolice, now that JustinTrudeau is humiliating the RCMP, maybe it’s time for Nat_Div_RCMP to arrest the criminal, JustinTrudeau & humiliate him for his role in the OntLiberal & liberal_party conspiracies covering up their attorney generals covering up LawSocietyLSO!

The Rcmp seems to be pretty good at embarrassing themselves without trudy’s help

If Canadians had a REAL Unbaised msm Trudeau couldn’t get elected dog catcher but Canadians DONT liberal Trudeau garbage in liberal Trudeau garbage out

Knee bender of his many talents!!

Finally someone doing REPORTING

TweetrDon45th I suspect he has spent a lot of time on his knees.

Hockeygirl910 Hopefully the rcmpgrcpolice Nat_Div_RCMP will retaliate with multiple investigations of his criminal activities. TrudeauCorruption

He is constantly humiliating Canada.

Trudeau humiliates the country daily👎🏻

Kneeling just for votes and a photo. Do you really think he cares?

The RCMP humiliate themselves on a regular basis. They are one of the worst trained police departments in Canada. When they stop doing dumb shit then they should comeback and talk about being humiliated.

The RCMP do an excellent job of humiliating themselves. They don’t need any help with that.

What a scumbucket.

Publishing one guy’s opinion. The National Post is as bad as CBC. (Who your supporters love to trash)

He declared us a post nation state and has done nothing but bankrupt and humiliated this country for the last 5 years....

Isn’t the national post one of the failing conservative papers? Now you can see why!

Hogwash

I hope RCMP members and families across this great country keep in mind when it comes time for an election not to vote for the liberal party

Very interesting and at the time should not have kneeled but could have done at another time just that was not time to do it! I agree with RCMP!

He should have followed his own advice. GO HOME & 'STAY' HOME He wasn't needed there at all.

Never left the cottage for 3 months... leaves for a photo op I guess social distancing wasnt on the agenda that day. Social engineering engineering at its finest.

Live in a small town policed by RCMP. Everyone knows the drug dealer, people drive drunk with impunity and most folks are often more annoyed by percieved trespassing. It's not like the mounties do a bad job they're just being asked for too much.

Yep. From a guy who wore blackface many times, he stood before us on numerous occasions and called us racists. Pot, meet kettle.

Trudeau Humiliated all of Canada

How quickly he turned on the RCMP to protect his image with his activist supporters. Yet the RCMP are and were responsible for the safety of himself and his family, had they been there during the Rideau Hall incident. Lucky for him that he hadn't defunded them yet.

Trudeau is a PIG!

So they just said it. They ACTUALLY said it. They’re racist. Atleast some/most of them are.

He humiliated us all ... again

But rcmp also accepted the fact that racism does exist in police...

He's humiliating this whole country, the RCMP can get in line

Trudeau has humiliated everyone in Canada with his wearing of blackface and his moronic statements from ' respecting China's basic dictatorship ' to ' we say peoplekind ' This guy is legit the zoolander prime minister,ashamedtobecanadian

Humiliating is humiliating is humiliating, eh, to all peoplekind

Trudeau did the right thing.

The RCMP humiliated themselves long before Justin (case) decided to do a photo op.

I'm cosine ring the sources here NP. I watched that live and many days following that isn't happening. But you should report throughly the assassination ...real ones.

ElectTories He's always a disgrace, in whatever he is doing

Please get over yourself, this isn’t about you. Kneeling was PM Trudeau’s way of expressing solidarity; It was not directed against a particular police force. Surely you can understand wanting to express solidarity with someone whose neck was kneeled on until he died.

He did the right thing. Our PM has been a real humanitarian. We ❤️ him 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Gee and I thought the RCMPs incompetent handling of the NS mass shooting and the breech of RideauHall by an armed gunman would be the humiliations for the RCMP But apparently it’s “kneeling “ Put a damn sock in it

Former police officer is biased

Our prime minister is a clown. He's always there for a photo op

It was worse than embarrassing. It was disgusting & fake. He looked to make sure the camera was ready first. Hard to accept that a PM of Canada kneeled to a self-proclaimed Marxist mob calling for the death of white people & the police. He's despicable in every way.

You chose right Trudeau.

That's right.

Pretty much everyone in Canada west of Toronto is embarrassed by him!

I doubt Brenda Lucki shares those sentiments.

Former police officer is out of touch. Our PM was paying respect to the activists and the cause. Did the former police officer feel George Floyd’s murderer humiliated police officers ?

He actually humuliated all of canada by hiding for months in the cottage then showing up at a huge public gather for a photo op, JustinTrudeau

He attends this demonstration But won’t go to the USMCA with two other people because of the plannedemic. When are people going to wake up!

Yes a position of privilege protected by the RCMP since he was an infant. Does it take a village to teach you to betray those whom spent their lives to raise you

Protected by the RCMP since he was an infant

Could the National Post just go bankrupt already?

TrudeauBlackface kneeling & appointing a dork like Brenda Lucki so the Neville dictator could put words in her mouth & further humiliate the RCMP who need to be brought back to their former respectable mighty presence. DefendTheRCMP

JustinTrudeau is a disgrace in everything he does. The queen of photo ops. Even the corrupt UNSC doesn't want him, and the UN is the lowest of the lows. cdnpoli trudeaumustgo exitUN

Well...lately the RCMP has been acting like US cops...

OMG 😳”Former” is the operative word here and good ridance !!!!

NP stop the clickbate!

Silly take, He humiliated our entire country, but what else is new.

How ironic—the RCMP don't appear to have any shame

Trudeau is racist plain and simple. He doesn't even remember how many times he did the offensive black face. He took a knee against himself

The RCMP are humiliating themselves infinitely more with little things like

cangal21 Yes

Believe it or not I don't think racism has a whole lot to do with police brutality

Why would Trudeau be protected since infancy by the Mounties? Don’t the Mounties only supply protection for about one month after a pm is booted out? Canada isn’t that much like the states, yet.

cangal21 He certainly humiliated himself.

Misused term systemic and offered no proof of racism. Public guardians were abandoned and placed at greater personal risk in carrying out their duties. Law makers have a legal responsibility to uphold law and order and to ensure the rule of law is maintained and supported.

Humiliates ontario and quebec for voting for the douchebag.

Trudeau proves himself over and over what kind of idiot he truly is, this man is not fit to govern any country , governing is not just about handing out freebies and tax dollars to buy votes and keep yourself in power

He throws anyone and everyone under the bus constantly. I respect our RCMP and hope they find a way to get the respect they deserve and get Lucki out.

Humiliating the RCMP is strictly an in house thing. The RCMP debase themselves daily. The PM is under NO mandate to condone their behaviour in the larger scale of their inept behaviour.

Ontario and Quebec have put Justin Trudeau in power and they will continue to elect him.

Pathetic and consumed by your bias. Sad excuse for a newspaper.

It was more racist than anti racist.

Get the Blue Flu.

Well most of the country thinks the RCMP are racist

Pretty sure the ex cop has humiliated all cops by saying that.

JustinTrudeau has humiliated all of Canada over the years he's been CanadianPM . Looking forward to the day he's gone

He humiliates Canadians by just getting up in the morning.

The RCMP was conceived in racism and remains so to this day. Defund the RCMP. .

When did children take over the ?

National Post what about reporting the terrible attack on our PM and GG. Why are you giving this guy a pass.?

Maybe if some of their officers did a better job the PM wouldn’t have knelt...

the RCMP SHOULD BE EMBARRASED ABOUT RACISM INTHEUR FORCE!!!!

how absolutely stupid is that headline.We are proud of our PM that accompanied his black Minister Amhud Hussien to a black lives matter rally and took a knee!! Kudoos We all need to take a stance against racism including in the RCMP

Nothing says pride in your work than a byline that reads “staff.”

Trudeau kneels for everything.

RCMP: Your track record have been less than stellar in the last few decades with incidents after incidents involving Black people, the First Nations and women. Accusing our Prime Minister of humiliating you is cowardly and equates to burrying your heads in the sand. MAN UP !

He humiliated all of Canada. Most embarrassing PM ever. TrudeauMustGo

No one who believes this should ever serve as an RCMP officer.

Frankly, to a lot of us he humiliated himself.... it was an absolutely crass thing to do. He could have and should have expressed his opinion on racism, but he should not have been caught up in this BLM cause directly. He's not a leader though... he's a follower!

Trudeau only humiliates himself and the people that voted for him. He is a global embarrassment.

they’ve humiliated themselves...

geoff_buxcey Humiliates Canada with every breathless breath he breathes.

85% of Canadians think there is systemic racism in the RCMO. That’s humiliating.

Protected since infancy, pretty much says it all. He will throw anyone under the bus for political gain.

Appealing to his base. Which is now the 3% of Canadians that don’t hold jobs, take everything way too far and protest everything. Keep it up *sshole, can’t wait for you to be nothing more than history’s worst pm

Trudeau is incapable of understanding those consequences.Quite frankly he wouldn't care if he did.Itsall about Justin

So is that why they are not really protecting him these days? Wasn’t that an assasin on the loose to get him? Shame on the RCMP.

Sorry folks, the RCMP has humiliated itself by behaving like you have no God! I support Trudeau on this one!

geoff_buxcey

He humiliated the whole country.

Of course he did. Duh

JT, Humiliating does as humiliating is🤡🤢🤡

There is systematic racism around more than you think. Trudeau is serious in shaking things up and everyone should participate in tackling it before it destroys our society.

Timely...

Let this former officer enjoy his retirement and should shut up.

I have greatest respect for RCMP Ex Commissioner now Senator Bev Busson. She is a respected leader of the highest integrity. She is not one for political hyperbole. For her to speak out in like this shows that PM Trudeau has lost his way and is behaving in a disrespectful manner.

Give me a break

Getting sick of the politicized NP. Maybe they should go back to journalistic ethics.

More proof that the traitor Trudeau is an intellectually deficient fool!

Buffoon

JFC

Those accusing him should get off their high horses. This is exactly why they are kneeling, that entitlement to think the RCMP and it's members never do any wrong.

Did I stumble upon the Ontario Teachers glee club. The strike was always about the children.

Good for him. you should be ashamed of yourself

Cops are so soft. Think they’re above law and can’t take any criticism.

Oh please!!! What babies!

How about the CanadianPM start supporting and kneeling and FundingCanadianSeniors and maybe try supporting CanadianVeterans How about that? TeamCanada JustinTrudeau Or how about inspiring CanadianYouth to work and stop 🛑 with the handouts. Teach Canadians to dream again..

They pretty much humiliate themselves.....

The RCMP is not what it used to be.They should be very careful to not become a NAtional Police Force like SAVAK. They may be getting close.

It was pretty much just a photo op- he interrupted a speech to do kneel.

I didn't see him take a knee when Const. Heidi Stevenson got shot and killed in the line of duty....goof

It was embarrassing on every level

Here’s one from the protest; while everyone is ganging up on Scheer.

He humiliated the country.

I am proud of him! The system is not as bad as the US, but far from equal and perfect

What crap is this? Strange wording NP. I assume the journalist who wrote headline, article, and The NP, who published it, doesn’t support racism. Why would Trudeau kneeling in support of anti-racism offend or humiliate the RCMP? Are they not grown-ups at the RCMP? Why?

I wonder when Justin Trudeau will denounce his father for his 'just watch me' and 'let the bleeding hearts bleed' comments.

....and then they start to defund police Like talk about slapping first responders in the face It's a disgrace!

Good thing the RCMP didn't take a knee when that assassin smashed through the gate at Rideau Hall. TrudeauMustGo

He’s humiliated all of Canada yet the brain dead liberals think he’s amazing. They are all hypocrites yet if you took every liberal voter and JustinTrudeau and combined their intelligence, it’s would be less than a pile of cat sh*t.

Hiw about when he kissed the new commissioner ms Lucki on both cheeks at her appointment? Was that not humiliating for law enforcement?
