It's Only A Conspiracy Theory If We Say It Is

Indeed:

While our American neighbours are transfixed with the high-drama prospect of Donald Trump’s return to the White House next year, up here in Canada our government is considering “scenarios.” And one aspect of these scenarios, according to Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, is the “radicalization” of Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives.

During an interview with a Montreal radio station Wednesday, Joly hinted at a “game plan” in the event that the Nov. 5, 2024 presidential election produces ominous results, about which Joly spoke ominously. One scenario might be a “difficult situation.” Whatever happens, there will be mayors involved, and premiers. People like that.

 

First of all, this silly cow couldn't come up with a plan to tie her shoelaces.

So there's that.

More: 

Then there was this.

Lagacé: “Explain that to the people listening to us, if Americans moved away from democracy, if they leaned more and more towards the authoritarianism that Mr. Trump seems to advocate.”

(Sidebar: oh? Is he the guy who froze bank accounts and sent horses to trample grandmothers?)

Joly: “Well, I think that in general, there is our game plan, precisely to be able to manage what could be a rather difficult situation. And well, I won’t go into detail, because I think it’s. . . we are certainly working on scenarios. But also the other aspect of the question is more about knowing how we as a democracy are able to thwart the growth of the far right in our country, because it’s happening in the United States, it’s happening in Europe.

“So one can’t be naive here, Patrick; it’s happening right now with us, there is, we know that there is certainly a radicalization of the Conservative Party.”

And there it is. This is how Team Trudeau hopes to survive the calamity of its descent in the public opinion polls owing to galloping inflation, a doubling of house prices and rent costs since the Liberals came to power in 2015, several nasty ethics scandals and a festering controversy over the electoral advantage they enjoyed in key ridings arising from Beijing’s efforts to secure the Liberals’ return to power in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections.

 

It's not like Justin hasn't tried scaring Canadians with Americans before.

Now, it's so obvious and pathetic.

It must be said:

No evidence of human remains has been found during the excavation of a Catholic church basement on the site of a former Manitoba residential school.

Chief Derek Nepinak of Minegoziibe Anishinabe shared the results of the four-week excavation in a social media video Friday. He said the outcome takes “nothing away from the difficult truths experienced by our families who attended the residential school in Pine Creek.”

 

Yes, it does.

When an entire country and religious body is accused of massacring children and putting them in mass graves, I would say that the claims aren't merely hyperbolic but utter dreck.
