    If you could elaborate what makes you say so? Some particular points of the article? The premise?

      Well, the whole thing is completely implausible in a lot of ways, but to start with the basic premise: Canada does not punish people for calling the PM racist. 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. Nor is “exposing the true nature of the Hong Kong riots”, whatever their nature might in fact be, anything that could possibly incur the wrath of the Canadian civil service, that part of it responsible for issuing passports. Canada may be corrupt and cruel in various ways, but not in anything resembling the ways depicted here. Its government is not going to do anything that would risk creating a major scandal, and this certainly would if there were any truth in it whatsoever, in order to be capriciously cruel to someone for no apparent reason other than to defend the honour of Hong Kong protesters. It makes no sense whatsoever.

      I mean there’s really no reason to read beyond the headline to see this. That it expects us to believe NATO is somehow involved kinda gives it away that this is pure bullshit. But the more one does read, the zanier it gets. Although for all I know maybe there really is a “Carl Chen”. I’ve talked to homeless people with far weirder tales to tell than that one, even one guy who was abducted by the Grey aliens.

          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.”

        What you just wrote just shows how brainwashed by propaganda you are.

        Oviously the hongkong protests were nato planned. And oviously the can-adian state is very vicious. Along with sweeden and the us is one of the states more likley to engage in arbitrary kidnapings of random people.

        In fact the strange part is that they denied him the visa insted of just improssoning him once he gets to can-ada like they usually do.

        1. He’s from Quebec, and ethnically white

        2. He did blackface

        3. He’s head of the liberal party.

        That’s already a lot of suggestions that he’s got at least some internalized racism.
