What were the instances of similar and worse under Harper though? There's nothing comparable to the current liberal government - to say nothing of the $600 million slush fund for media organizations (so much for an independent press eh)

They silenced Truth so they could push lies in order to maintain a war that was literally Criminal. They did the same to prop up the oil industry in the province Harper held history with and from which he personally profited and continues to profit.

They said "You're either with Us or with the Pedos" when people criticized an over reaching "justice" bill.

Again, those who oppose Trudeau now are almost exclusively those who were willfully ignorant and silent during the Harper years, mostly because they profited from the injustices which far exceeded those of Trudeau's government.


Oh and in case anyone didn't notice:

I left out the G20 protest response where they brutalized people who were being 100% peaceful, in complete opposite to the treatment of far right insurrectionists that were the convoy cucks...

I was there and hurt so it felt too personal to include as I presumed self bias, but on reflection it definitely should have been included.

Where were all these conspiracy theorist shit heads back when there was a real problem to fight against?

Oh that's right, they were trading heroes for gold, mistaking hot air for a cool breeze and exchanging a walk on part in the war for a lead role in the cage....


Seems like they're probably referring to muzzling Environment Canada
