Yes. Those of the pro oil contingent, who just want their pipe line and for everyone else to walk away.Alberta is represented by a BDSM fetishist homoerotic biker gang?

I think Lenore Zann is a Liberal (i.e., the Giffen/DeMatteis Justice League of Canadian political parties).
This is a fun game. If that is the Justin Liberals, then who are the comic book analogues for the Harper Conservatives, the Chretien/Martins Libs, or most fun, Pierre's Liberals? I would assume Pierre's Liberals would be some version of the X-Men given the brilliant, charismatic, bald leader and the fight against French/Mutant separatism/extremism... But it would need to be a version that involves a certain amount of arrogance and stubbornness...
Or in our case:Every politician "virtue signals" in some way, whether it's kissing babies, wrapping yourself in the flag, or pretending to support some cause and then doing nothing about it in office.
In case you weren’t aware, someone tried to assassinate the prime minister last week. A far right, white terrorist named Corey Hurren rammed through the parliament’s residency gates, heavily armed in search for Justin Trudeau. The police talked him down for two hours and then peacefully apprehended him. But this incident has barely made any waves in the Canadian media, demonstrating a clear double standard.
Although the RCMP has been particularly tight-lipped about any potential motivation, the 46 year old military reservist wrote about wanting to send a wake-up call to keep Canada from falling into a “communist dictatorship.” He also alluded to conspiracy theories that claim the COVID-19 pandemic is a hoax crafted by Bill Gates. Hurren drove all the way from Manitoba with two shotguns, a restricted revolver, and an automatic rifle.
If we compare this incident to the 2014 Parliament Hill shooting we clearly see a difference in both the response by the police and in the treatment of the case in the media. In 2014, all three major parties had published official statements condemning the attack within hours, but here, aside from brief statements from Trudeau and Scheer during otherwise unrelated press conferences, it’s hardly been acknowledged at all. This isn’t any accident. The 2014 shooting was carried out by a Muslim man, and had the utility of whipping up Islamophobia during a time where the federal government was seeking to exclude Syrian Muslims from Canada’s refugee program. On the other hand, last week’s incident coincided with an on-going movement against police brutality and gives credence to those pointing out systemic racism within Canadian police forces.
Is it Trudeau, or is it someone else?Yikes, apparently there's going to be some troubling incoming news about an important federal politician soon.

So I typed in Canadian politician into Google to see what came up, and honestly it looked like it could be three different things.Someone else. Although with Trudeau it's never a bad guess.

I wanted to go with this Travis Patron guy, but he doesn't actually seem important.
I love that this has kind of turned into a quest for me.Ah, the trick is, you have to know French. The English news cycle is catching up.
