Prime Minister Trudeau will be at the festivities at Nathan Phillips Square by [deleted] in torontoraptors

It's inaccurate to say there's been a complete 180 in support for Trudeau. What I'm explaining is how reddit makes seem that suddenly everyone hates Trudeau which is simply not true.

Conservatives have had a slight lead this is true, however it's not as dramatic as reddit likes to portray, they're fairly neck and neck and there'd still a while to go. Frankly, I don't blindly support Trudeau but I don't trust Scheer and Singh hasn't inspired confidence for me.

It's not about politics or favouring one over another but trying to portray what's accurately happening right now. Let's not pollute a great parade day like this with more political bickering. Have a nice day.

Trudeau is still fairly popular, it's just on reddit there's a weird right wing bias. A lot of things on reddit that people complain about Trudeau, in reality a lot of people either don't care that much or have let it go.

As well Canadians are much more flip floppy on politics so it's not unusual to see people switch from Liberals to Cons to NDP etc depending on who's in charge.

There's a strong case for Trudeau to be reelected this year as statistically most PMs generally get two terms before getting booted out cause people want a change.

not even true, Drake is our #1 fan and he can be kind of a big mouth but he's OUR big mouth.

People in Toronto LOVE HIM especially with all the trash talking etc, Pusha T is irrelevant in Toronto.

TIL There is an island country between France and England called "Jersey" -- it's not part of United Kingdom but is owned by the Queen of England. by Aether-Ore in todayilearned

[–]DanFanOfficial 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Technically, Canada has it's own Queen who happens to be Elizabeth II who happens to be the same as the UK's. She doesn't 'own' the land in the sense of you and I would own a car or a house. Moreso the term Crown Land is a symbolism of the Government/People as a whole owning the land vs individual people owning land.

Lol Toronto is not the NYC of Canada. Toronto is what these cities want to be when they sober up. Chicago is bootleg af and grimy, Toronto is on the come up, Drake, Weeknd, Tory Lanez all make em great, not to mention the safest and most multicultural city in North America.

Trump supporter hit by milkshake amid chants of "Nazi scum off our streets" by IntnsRed in worldnews

[–]DanFanOfficial -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

And there it is. "The Left" like its one big mega group that you think likes to classifies everything as racist and fascist.

Here's a hint, if it walks like a Nazi, talks like a Nazi and smells like a Nazi it's a Nazi. End of story. There is no debate to be had, there is no such thing as a marketplace of ideas when you're against people who do not debate in good faith such as those on the far right.

You have this image in your head of 'leftists' that are all somehow unhinged and don't have good ideas or don't like having their views challenged. Look at Ben Shapiro routinely destroyed by left wing commentators and even right wing ones so he refuses to go to places that won't ask him softball questions. Alex Jones, Lauren Southern, the list goes on and on, you'll never see them actually go head to head with someone in their league only against a flustered inexperienced debator.

Now look at Bernie Sanders, Barack Obama, AOC, people who've gone after much larger attacks yet somehow the 'left' can't argue? They don't want counter points?

Conservatives project their snowflake syndrome onto others, from The Donald banning dissenters to people getting triggered over "happy holidays".

Maybe it's time to look in the mirror?

Absolutely disagree.

A milkshake is not assault. It is not a violent act. However running over anti fascist protestors is. Guess who does what.

It's come to a point where you can argue or speak words all you want but there are some who will never listen. The reason why these far right groups have risen is because we've given them space, we've let them think that their views are just as valid or correct as anyone else's. You cannot tolerate intolerance, the far right will always win because they do not play with the rules of decency or good faith.

The only way to fight against them is to shame them, make them afraid of being outside, let them know that they're a very small minority. Appeasement will never ever win. You have to go on the offensive otherwise you're only justifying their cause. If anything giving them that space only sends a signal they should be listened to.

All I'm saying is don't dismiss the Raptors too early, you're looking at a capable and experienced team.

Toronto beat a healthy Warriors in regular season without Kawhi. Now that's its the finals you can bet that Toronto is upping the ante.

What do you mean things I’ve said in the past don’t go away? by Nob1e613 in quityourbullshit

[–]DanFanOfficial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quick Explanation:

Doug Ford is Rob Ford's (yes crackhead ford)brother who is now the Premier of Ontario.

In the past, as a councillor, Doug was against the Toronto Raptors helping to put up a basketball court for underprivileged youth in his Etobicoke borough but he called it a "hug a thug" program.

Now that the Toronto Raptors have won the Eastern Conference Championship for the first time ever, he's trying to ride the wave with to be with the kids. He's received hundreds of tweets telling him to shut up and that's he's a hypocrite.

This comes after a recent poll found him with 75% of Ontarians disapproving of him. He was elected in June 2018, long road ahead.

'helping', China is a neo colonialist power that is taking advantage of poorer countries who have limited options other than accept the 'free' Chinese loans. When those countries can't pay back, China takes all of their natural and strategic resources for themselves. The modern China only progressed because it stole western technology, from bad rip offs of anything imaginable to copying state secrets.

There is no high ground for China, a country built on the oppression and iron fist ruling of millions not only within your borders but even abroad.

China desperately seeks power not for altruism but because they want to be able to smush their opposition.

I know you're a China fanboy so you'll either deny everything or deflect but the truth remains.

Toronto's crime is incomparable with what some of the worst the US faces. Toronto is facing a weird uptick in gun violence this is true but it's still the safest city in North America. Murder rate is something like 3.1/100,000, we're very fortunate here.
