You do know that she is a member of the far right ADF party? The same party that a German court ruled was a threat to democracy. Maybe a great umpire, but please stay on the ball field. Of course, she, like everyone else is entitled to their opinion, but I think I will listen to the non Nazis first.

So, because a person has a different belief, or view, than you they are a lesser person, and their opinion should carry less weight? I mean really, if there is a building burning down and that person yells "Fire" do you say "Naw, that can't really be a fire. That person is from a political party I don't like."?
I jest of course, but to me that's how your post comes off, even though I know what you meant.
All I was saying is that person's assessment of the situation, taken at face value, regardless of their political affiliation, seemed to sum up the situation rather succinctly.
In your response to @Rob you imply that because a large group of EU members have a dissenting opinion of the members in question, the dissenting opinion, or opinions, is/are not valid. Who's to say the large group is right, or the small group is right?
There was a story in a really old book (that had been translated and rewritten about a million times by just about everyone who thought they had an angle) about this guy who claimed he heard a voice that told him to build a boat because it was going to rain a lot and for a really long time. Apparently, according to legend, this guy tried to tell everyone the only way they would survive the rainstorm would be if they got on his boat, but they just thought he was nuts. Who knew !!!
Perspective.

It is a sad commentary of todays political climate when someone who is an active member of a known anti semetic, white supremist, Islamaphobic, anti immigration political party is described as, just someone with a ”different opinion”. I do not think it bodes well for our future if the current generation has lost the ability to distinguish Nazi rhetoric from say….just someone who doesn’t agree with you. A brief reminder to those born and raised during the last half century of relative global peace, our fathers and grandfathers didn’t have any difficulty identifying Nazis. If we can’t distinguish the difference between having a differing opinion and actually spreading hate, I fear that history is doomed to repeat itself.
 
As you get older, that is your job, passing on whatever you have learned to the youngsters. It’s always up to them though, whether they want to listen or not. I will be the first to admit, many of us older guys think they know everything, but trust me, they don’t! Just ask their wives, they’ll tell you the truth.

There's always two sides to every story, the best way to get the bigger picture is to watch multiple media outlets and how they portray the conflict. There's a lot of corrupt media organizations out there so be careful where you get your sources from. I mean a lot of people didn't even know CBC was government-funded until Musk brought it to light..

Let's circle back to the point at hand and the original post. Now that the court has ruled it violated our charter of rights. What will be done? What accountability will any of the guilty be held to? That's the question to be asked......

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. The next time JT & Co. feel "threatened", they'll do it again without a thought.

Jt should be more scared of the foreign nationals he has brought in from Syria ,Iraq ,Iran and Pakistan. Sharia law over Canadian law is their preference.... point has come full circle.
