Post-Easter Sunday Blitz: the Raw Deal Edition

Sympathy is for particular voters blocks, apparently:

Justin Trudeau was very quick to comment on the Hijab Hoax story, yet over 24 hours after two Catholic Churches in Halifax were defaced, Trudeau hasn’t said anything.

As I reported earlier, two Catholic Churches in Halifax were found defaced with anti-Christian graffiti on Easter Sunday.

Many were quick to condemn the hateful anti-Christian message, including Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer …

Yet, Trudeau hasn’t spoken out like Scheer. In fact Trudeau hasn’t said anything about it.

 
This graffiti:

A Halifax pastor says he felt "violated" after the front doors of his parish were vandalized.

St. Agnes Church was one of two Catholic churches in the Nova Scotia capital that were hit with obscene graffiti overnight on Saturday.

Father Paul Morris was preparing to deliver the 10:30 a.m. Easter mass when a concerned parishioner alerted him to graffiti on the front doors of the building.

Someone had spray-painted obscene words and drawings on the building, where Morris was expecting nearly a thousand people to attend the service.

"When you're the victim of crime, there is a great feeling of being violated. And that's how I felt. I felt sad, I felt angry, my head was spinning," he said in an interview Sunday.

"I think it's atrocious. It's appalling that someone would desecrate any house of worship."

 
Apologies are for closers:

The NDP plans to table a motion in the House of Commons calling on Pope Francis to apologize for the abuse suffered by Indigenous children at Indian residential schools, according to a letter sent by the federal party's MPs Monday to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The letter did not state when the NDP planned to table the motion, which would call on the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops to invite the Pope to Canada to issue the apology. 

"Easter is traditionally a time of renewal. But in Canada there can be no renewal, and the work of reconciliation will not be complete, without an apology from the Pope," said the letter written by NDP MPs Charlie Angus and Romeo Saganash.

The MPs called on Trudeau to support the motion.

Screw off. 

If he was so bothered by this egregious abuse of rights, why did he wait until he knew how everyone felt before acting? :

In a letter to an employer in his Ontario riding, a Liberal MP says his own government is wrongly invoking the Charter of Rights and Freedoms on its controversial Canada Summer Jobs attestation, and calls the whole thing “regrettable” and a “lamentable state of affairs.”

The newly added clause requires applicants for the grant program to declare their core mandate respects “the values underlying the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms,” and goes on to specifically mention reproductive rights, which means access to abortions.

“In my riding of Scarborough-Guildwood, I am personally aware of a number of organizations negatively impacted,” says the letter from John McKay, who is known to be pro-life.

“I consider this to be a lamentable state of affairs, and have expressed my views both inside and outside caucus in the strongest possible terms.”

Anyone who votes for this is the reason why we can't have nice things:

Interest expenses are set to increase by over $2 billion from 2021 relative to the last fiscal year. If debt costs take up a larger share of total revenues, that leaves less room for other priorities. Let’s put that $2 billion in perspective. It will take all the province’s tax revenues from alcohol and tobacco just to cover the expected increase in interest expenses over the next few years. Similarly, the province’s expected revenues from the cap-and-trade carbon-control program are about how much interest expenses are set to grow. That $2 billion is also the entire budget of the provincial Ministry of the Attorney General.

I still wouldn't hand over the corpses:

The Israeli military has said it will not return the bodies of two Palestinian gunmen killed in Friday’s clashes until Hamas frees two Israeli citizens being held in Gaza as well as the bodies of two Israeli soldiers killed in the 2014 war.
