Charlie Kirk's death was a tragedy.
But he built his name on provocation and white supremacy.
He said that gun deaths of innocents was "worth it."
On Mark Carney's first day as PM in Parliament Liberals gave Kirk a standing ovation.

I cannot believe this guy? He is back on using the supposedly “Fentanyl influx” from Canada into the US to justify 35% tariffs? What type of ridiculous negotiation is that?

So the gist is an ultimatum: 🇨🇦 becomes the 51st state or it faces a 35% tariff. The sane response: (a) expel the US ambassador, (b) cease all export of goods to the US, and (c) immediately get French and British nuclear weapons on Canadian soil.
