Last weekend, Canadians were shocked to see video footage of masked pro-Palestine protesters screaming at police officers and reportedly uttering death threats against shoppers – all within the vicinity of children visiting Santa at a mall in Toronto.
The Toronto Police took to social media – not to announce any arrests, but to confirm that they are "not pursuing the matter."
Not very long ago, such a situation would have been unthinkable.
But, this is 2023. And we're in Canada.
In Justin Trudeau's Canada, we don't just elevate the terrible elements of society: we actively tear down our own history and culture, too.
We do things that make absolutely no sense in order to appease the tiny woke mob.
Ryerson High School was renamed Old North Public School.
Ryerson University is now named Toronto Metropolitan University.
Just last week, Toronto city council voted unanimously to rename Dundas Square (named for Henry Dundas, a slavery abolitionist) to Sankofa Square (a name which originated from a tribe known for its role in the slave trade).
After decades of a primary Winnipeg thoroughfare being named Bishop Grandin, city council voted in March to rename the highway to unpronounceable Abinojii Mikanah.
Unsurprisingly, the legacy media has cheered this idiocy along.
The CBC claimed the aforementioned name alterations are "inspiring change", while the Winnipeg Free Press claimed such stories are "teachable moment".
It would almost be comical if we weren't simultaneously excusing actual current violence against other groups.
Christians have been targeted since the "unmarked graves" story broke a few years ago.
No, no mass graves were ever found at all, but the violent left doesn't care: 83 Christian churches have been – and continue to be! – targeted by arsonists.
Most of the legacy media shrugged their shoulders at this news, and Justin Trudeau's own top advisor tweeted that the arsons were "understandable".
This is the sad state of Canada in 2023.
People who donate to the peaceful trucker protest have their bank accounts frozen, while masked jihadists screaming death threats in downtown Toronto go unpunished.
All while the legacy media yawns.
The reason why the legacy media doesn't care about these important issues is because they are funded by the Trudeau government.
Therefore, they care about what Trudeau cares about.
They will push his narrative, while ignoring ordinary Canadians.
