It seems the far left in Canada can get good agreement only in principle but always require plenty modernisation or just being ignored in some circumstances, may well be why centre right get the most respect and the least done in their name. ...

It is also prolly worth noting that there is discrepancy between Federal and Provincial governments in Canada

at the federal level, we have never had an NDP (further left than the Liberal party, but not as far as the Greens) government
it has gone back and forth most recently between the relatively center-sitting Liberals and the Conservative party
the Conservatives are an attempt to unify disparate right values into one cohesive party to consolidate political power
but a further right branch has since broken off and taken up the name of the People's Party of Canada and appealed a lot to anti-immigration

at the provincial level tho
Liberals recently got outed in Ontario for the Conservatives,
but in places like Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta the NDP have been more supported than the Liberals
Alberta just recently came out of an NDP provincial government, and Manitoba was NDP-dominant from 1999 to 2016
Saskatchewan is under a center-right party known as the Saskatchewan Party,
but was under NDP for most of my life there, from 1991 to 2007
similarly, BC as a more left-leaning province has spent more time under the NDP since the early 90s than under the Liberals

just an interesting discrepancy between how we live and how we choose to be represented at the larger and more global scales

The other day Enlil told me that all religions are a races. That is his personal belief. Do you believe that?

Now I have shown that Islamists in WWII fought with Hitler and his antijew agenda.

Does this now mean that Muslims are violent racists?

Especially considering the new wave of antisemitism from Omar.

Try not to defend racists when talking about racism.

When one dilutes the word racism, they become racist themselves.. Careful now.

You need to go further down the rabbit hole.

Look into Haj Amin al-Husseini and Khairallah Talfah.

I was assuming you would play dumb on this issue.

When a white assaults or kills a black, the headline usually describes the racial traits of both individuals involved, when the roles are reversed the racial traits are never mentioned. Is that enough clarity for you? 

They don't call it Fake News for no good reason.

---

Yes, I'm playing dumb because I want you to be explicit in your claims.

That is an interesting hypothesis you've now made. Do you have any supporting evidence for this claim?

people who dont talk about race live in ethnically homogeneous communities. otherwise you have to see the disparity between groups like this. 5 year old boy thrown off a 3 story railing and survived barely, in critical condition. no media coverage. yet the same media is out there stoking racial hostility towards non violent "nazis". no race war here. just killin "nazis" which now means any white person it seems.

The rest of your post isn't even worth unpacking. It must be embarrassing to be so completely wrong all the time.

There's reporting a story once and there's covering a story non-stop on cable news and talk shows, please don't equate the two completely different levels of media coverage.

Also, there's a different method of describing the demographics involved in this case and you know exactly what I'm referring too, at least I hope you do.
