As Canadians watched a day of considerable political turmoil for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his government given the sudden departure of Chrystia Freeland on Monday, it appears that U.S. president-elect Donald Trump was also watching it unfold.
“The Great State of Canada is stunned as the Finance Minister resigns, or was fired, from her position by Governor Justin Trudeau,”

I’m sorry to inform you that you will be hearing every word that comes out of his mouth for at least another four years. You might want to disconnect if it really bothers you.

But the head Nazi says stupid shit on social media with the sole purpose of pissing people off. Canadian news media righteously repeat it ad nauseam. Then more social media (Lemmy) righteously links to the news sites, vastly expanding his original reach.
The media needs to take a principled stance and calmly call out his bullshit as bullshit - and we have a responsibility to not amplify it.
Actual matters of state - report on that all you want, as much of a shitshow as it’s going to be; but the only way to address his infantile rants is to treat him like an infant.
Do you think his comments and attitude towards our elected officials don’t matter? I think they do. To me this isn’t just one of his random mouth farts.
