This is nothing but Trumpian pandering.

How? Cause bumble fuck morons in rural areas have the reading level of a 2nd grader and can't figure out when they are being lied to.
Edit: to be clear, im not saying all rural folks are dumb. Im saying the ones who happen to be dumb got us into this mess
I know city raised folk that are just as dumb. It's all about being brainwashed to believe bullshit from the time they're hatched. By the time they can make decisions on their own they all think they're part of some magic christian hogwarts world.
Thatβs the end goal of religion.
Religion is poison and poisons everything it touches.
I've lived in rural Canada and the majority of the people I knew were as dumb as a bag of hammers.
What a fucking idiot.
Ok so journalists will Press him on this. Right? They'll press him right?
Are they allowed to talk to him? He's probably too busy chewing his apples.
His selectiveless in speaking to the media has seemingly made journalists go easy on him in interviews from what I've seen.
Not sure if they're screening the questions or the people know they're not getting another interview unless they feed him some softballs.
Yeah every Easter I see so much terror being done to them. During December the country doesnβt go into Christmas stuff.
Just remember there is no more hate than Christian love.
Oh no wonβt somebody think of the uneducated brainwashed cult members.
Fuck your agenda of pushing your cult into politics. That shit belongs in the privacy of your own home and nowhere else.
Persecution fetish
Perpetrators*.
It checks out when you recognize that he panders to people who believe being slightly inconvenienced or inclusive of others is to have violence done against them.
I donβt even think he believes this himself. He just knows the people who he wants to vote for him instead of Bernier believe it.
Can we put to bed the idea he'd have been harder on Trump when he's literally reciting their talking points.
Mini trump
Somehow with even less charisma
This is exactly what I was taught in church. We read about martyrs all the time, some real graphic stuff, all to reinforce to a bunch of teenagers that the world hates us and its our job to save the world. Honestly, its effective. It brainwashed us into being fucking badgers when it came to assaulting random strangers on the street with tracts and an impromptu recitation of the Roman Road.
Now, though, I am terrified of approaching people on the street. I love street photography, but I was so mentally beaten by strangers who wanted nothing to do with me that I can't bring myself to hold my camera in the vague direction of a person I don't know.
I listened to him saying that and the first thing I thought was it's an intentional dog whistle to all the Christian nationalists, white nationalists, and residential school deniers who hold onto the churches burned in the summer of the Kamloops residential school news as a point of grievance.
Talking about churches being attacked across Canada one day before NDTR just screams that he wants to play upon those grievances and feed into those narratives which are also closely tied to great replacement narratives and the superiority of white Christian civilization that Charlie Kirk and his movement were also all about.
It's really gross, disturbing, and dangerous. Not only is he spouting utter lies, but he's willingly feeding the flame of far-right white Christian nationalism.
Yeah, clearly he's still being pulled around by his right flank. So far that hasn't worked out so well in the actual elections.
Balderdash!
What a weenie.
Must be a leadership review coming up. Pandering to base.
Gaza is completely crushed to ruble, but Christians are recovery the biggest victims in the world.
This guy needs to fuck off, seriously. I hope he gets reincarnated as every one the people he's saying have it worse off than objectively the wealthiest and most powerful religions in the world.
And, pretty sure he'll never mention the persecution of Christians in Jerusalem by Israel...
Always the victim
I thought it was white people? /s
They may be.
Probably not, but maybe.
The article itself mentions that Jews and Muslims are still both ahead.
More likely: maybe not. Probably not. And not at all.
It concerns me how many Canadians I see on the normie web mock Americans for Trump when you got this MCGA threat looming.
Much of what's happening to America now is because too many people thought "that could never happen here". Don't repeat our mistakes, Canada.
