Speaking of Fires ...

Not accidental and not simply "unacceptable":

RCMP are investigating what they're deeming a suspicious fire at the St. Patrick Co-Cathedral catholic church in Yellowknife. 

The fire broke out shortly after midnight Thursday. The building sustained minor damage. No one was injured.

Investigators in the province said orange and red paint was daubed on the churches in the city of Calgary.

The premier of Alberta said the attacks were "appalling".

It comes after unmarked graves were found around former church-run residential schools that indigenous children were once forced to attend.

The grim discoveries prompted some calls for national celebrations in honour of Canada Day on 1 July to be cancelled.

Alberta's Premier Jason Kenney, said on Thursday one of the vandalised locations was an African Evangelical Church in the city of Calgary.

He said its congregation was made up entirely of former refugees who fled countries where churches are often vandalised and burned down.

 

(Sidebar: PM Blackface does not care.)

I can understand it,” Louie said of strong feelings against the churches that ran the compulsory residential schools across Canada. “I don’t like the Church. I don’t believe in the Church.

“Many residential school survivors hate the Church with a passion — but I have never heard any of them ever suggest people turn to this.

“There is a proper way of displaying anger. I mean, I’m angry about it. I talk to a lot of residential school survivors and sure there is a lot of hatred and bitterness and anger — but that still doesn’t mean you go and do arson.

“We think it is the same group of punks that burnt all of them down,” he said of the Okanagan fires. “And the young people that burned down these churches never went to residential schools.”

 

Just like the "punks" who overturned a statue of Queen Victoria, right?

Go to hell, chief. 

Your rancor fed into this existing seething cauldron anti-clerical and anti-European hatred. If it wasn't graves (not mass graves) you lot already knew existed, it would be some other matter that would result in more destruction, more grovelling and yet more money. You have said to every Catholic (it is only Catholic because the Church is universal; that's inclusion, you wag!) that he or she is just collateral damage for the roving band of thugs who definitely speak in your name. If they were smart enough to exercise proper moral choice, none of this would be happening.

But here we are.

I'll believe that you are sincere when you start turning these people in.

They used to destroy things during the Cultural Revolution, too.



Honest, Justin?

Sure.

Why did you lie about paying China for flu shots and taking money from the pay cheques of every working Canadian and letting it be invested in Chinese companies (all of whom work for the Chinese communist party)?:

Canada’s public pension fund has invested millions of dollars in companies accused of bolstering China’s military-industrial complex — companies the U.S. government has barred Americans from putting their money into because they allegedly pose a security threat.

The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board has invested $3 million in shares of a company that makes components for Chinese warships, and another $2 million in a company affiliated with a manufacturer of fighter jets and unmanned drones, according to its most recent holdings disclosure.

 

(Sidebar: a skimmed pay cheque handed to Chinese interests? Now we know how the North Koreans feel.)

Why did you lie about that?

Why don't we talk about your dad's role in the residential schools?

Why don't we talk about the plethora of scandals and incompetence stemming directly from you?

Now that we're being honest.
