Yes, Karen, you are too sensitive.

 

Concerned about division?

Yes, Karen, you are too sensitive.  So sensitive, in fact, that your critical faculties have been completely pushed out.  It’s all feeling and no thinking.  You see division, but make no attempt to understand why it exists.  It’s simply invalid, and then you denigrate the people who are discontented.

“…the ungrateful and radical movements…a once-respected political party (est. 2003 under Stephen Harper) should bend to the negative and Trump-like rhetoric…so much of another country’s influence our way of life.”  There’s a lack of self-awareness to say that and then complain about division and wanting your country back. (They shouldn’t be flying those Canadian flags – they’re supporting the Truckers!)

You could get a fresh start and heal of a lot of division by getting rid of Prime Minister Justin Ceausescu.  He thrives on division.  He thrives on gaslighting, like maintaining COVID restrictions long after everyone else has discarded them as useless and unscientific.  The PM of Canada declares working-class Canadians have “unacceptable views,” when all they wanted was their grievances redressed.  But he wouldn’t meet with them because he wanted confrontation, and smashed them with the Emergencies Act.  (Their grievance concerned excessive and unnecessary COVID mandates, now defunct everywhere else.)

The word “freedom” hasn’t been corrupted, you never understood what it meant.  I get that you hate the Truckers, but admit it, the hatred lies within you.  You don’t have to hate, and you don’t have to try to understand either.

If you want to heal Canada’s divisions, go for a walk on the wild side.  Embrace freedom.  Embrace a woke-free future!
