Oh, we're going to do this again? We're going to try to pass the same unconditional laws that Stephen Harper tried to pass then spent years and tens of millions of dollars defending all the way to the Supreme Court only to lose because everyone, including Harper, knew from the very beginning that they were unconstitutional?

Just fucking great. Can we not? Can you just roll your neo-fascist lack-of-virtue signalling into a cylinder and shove it up your fucking at instead?

Yeah, I know it's been promoted before. But Trump was the first president I remember bringing it up.

Poilièvre wouldn't bring up something like Haitians eating pets though. That's now how he is. As much as I dislike the guy, I know he's not that kind of racist. His wife, Anaida grew up in Pointe-Aux-Trembles in Montreal, where I am from, and I know she had Haitian friends. She would throw a fucking fit and probably divorce him if he even thought about something like this.

I am concerned about him saying DEI is crap though. And I'd like to hear what his wife, a girl from immigrant parents who grew up in poverty, has to say about this.

1993 was the first true three strikes law. It was passed in Washington state.

I wasn't suggesting that Petite Polievre would trot out the overt racism but that he is playing from the same playbook as Trump and his supporters include white supremacists and racists to whom he appeals with talk about immigrants.

Ah. That's true.
