    Calling the PM racist is a popular sport lately in Canada. Nobody cares, because almost everyone knows that basically it isn’t true. He’s an idiot, but not a particularly racist one.

      Yes, exactly like that.

      … and if you think you’re a leftist you might want to be careful about it. I don’t know how it is outside Canada, but inside Canada that image is mostly popular with racists, including hardcore white nationalist types. They love to post it, as if to say “We’re not the racists, this guy is the real racist, hurr hurr hurr.”

        Nobody cares what Klanadians think, they’re the US’s top hat and they think that gives them some sort of authority on international matters, but they’re actually as irrelevant as Europe. Barely 40 million people live there.

        So the guy publicly doing blackface isn’t racist because some other racists calling him racist? Bruh, it just means your country have much bigger problem than originally suggested.
