—Free Liberal talking points
Because I’m always trying to be helpful, here are my recommended talking points for the Trudeau government.
1. Hamas ≠ Innocent Palestinians.
2. Kill, destroy, wipe out Hamas.
There you go. You’re welcome.
While this would seem the proper and easy course of action, it’s all politics, all the time with Trudeau and his cabinet. Principles? Those are things you just claim you have.
“Progressive” talking points: we want a cease fire, (so Hamas can regroup, and safely launch more rockets).
Peter,
Let’s see, why do they now want a ceasefire? Why do we need a ceasefire? Apparently, something evil and inhuman happened before some progressives and right-wing Arabs came to the conclusion that we need a ceasefire. What was that exactly? Isn’t this war? Sure, looks like it to me.
Warren,
I’ll get in on the act: resign asshole and take your lackeys with you.
With this government, you may need to include pictures.
Warren said on Twitter (X)
“Justin Trudeau needs to recall this Graham Greene aphro
quotes Graham Greene aphorism that I live by:”
“Sooner or later … one has to take sides. If one is to remain human.”
I’m wondering if Justin has picked sides?
Yes. That was very good. I even have had to make that statement many times in our silly little 17-18 person partnership the last few decades but they are accountants so they have an excuse. It could get interesting in Brantford today and the next few days. Usually members of council will freely provide quotes to the local paper on any issue but they are strangely quiet here.

Don’t make life too confusing and complicated for Team Trudeau.
For Gawds sake they are still analyzing the intelligence information to determine how Israel launched a missile from Gaza heading toward Israel but hit a Gazan parking lot that is a hospital. Somebody needs to pick up the red phone and call out to POTUS for lessons on intelligence analysis.
Newsflash-I woke up to the news that Bill Blair has finally weighed in if anyone still actually cares(with the usual weaselly wiggle words). Now his brain trust lone gunmen nerds are going back to analyzing what happened at the Gulf of Tonkin and going over grassy knoll pics. And to answer the question above, if our Dear Leader has weighed in, I have not seen it.
Only….
The Israeli army has never made that first distinction. And that will become increasingly obvious in the days to come. As it has in the past. And the body bags will keep mounting.
🙁
Warren,
Imagine if Hamas practiced this for a year or several years. Personally, I believe that Egypt warned Israel to some extent which as yet is not clear. Israel denies it. I suspect human intelligence gave Egypt some kind of a vague heads-up but only time will prove whether I’m right or not. I will leave it there.
