Why put ourselves at risk during a global pandemic going to bat for US issues?

This is especially aimed at Montreal (where I live for most the year), which has the highest density of covid 19 cases and deaths in the country. 404 new cases were reported in Quebec today, most in Montreal. This is not the city or time to be having a protest. Of course the looting that occurred after police rightfully tear gassed the self righteous crowd was disgraceful as well. We are better then this.

sorry for the mini rant, but as someone who is hoping that life will resume to semi normal soon, seeing self righteous Canadians acting like clowns for progressive clout really grinds my gears.

But we're neighbors. You have to go to bat for US. If some other country tried to come in and steal your Maple Syrup or Canadian Whiskey, you can bet your ass i'll be up there raisin hell to stop that from happening.

Another case of people only caring about people dying from a virus, not an innocent man dying from a corrupt and brutal police force.

Man is far more scarier than any virus or disease

Toronto and my current home, the joke known as Vancouver (we have an entire model of money laundering named after us) held their own protests as well. None got as bad as Quebec, but tbf both of these cities are doing much better in regards to the pandemic. Still it was a futile and pointless ideal that only serves to set back the progress we made on reducing the spread of the virus and tbh most of the attendees were dumb highschool and college kids who just wanted a hip Instagram story.

This is not strictly an American issue. Racial bias exists everywhere. I applaud the peaceful protests of Toronto and Vancouver. It's pathetic for you or anyone to label peaceful protesting as an embarrassment.

Is Canada perfect? No. But dont even compare our situations to yours. You people are on a whole other level.

America is like the sleeping elephant of the western world. Every time it turns, everyone else in the bed feels it. And its annoying. I just want my country to get healthy again, especially Montreal. This protest accomplished nothing.

Calgary is hosting their own protest as well - Calgary had/has 90% of the Covid cases in Alberta...

Some do yeah. I know a few people who are supporters. There is an entire club at my uni who support him.

I personally dont agree and I dont think trump is a friend to Canada but people are free to support who they want. I guess they think trump stands for a new wave of conservatism.

I was born and raised in Montreal and can absolutely say the police are very corrupt and racist there. This isnt just a US issue, though Americans tend to be more outspoken of these kind of things. Montreal has been run by the mafia for decades for example, and people just sit around and accept it. Same with police brutality and racism.

My brother had a few run ins with the law in his youth (over fairly petty and dumb things) and hes often be called a dirty immigrant and told to go back to his country.

I spoke in memes?

I am being the logical one here - Trump is more than his 'racist' appearance. Keep in mind, politics is NOT one issue - some people like his stance on economics or other factors. It is okay to support someone for some aspects of their platform but not others.

When people are forced, they rebel (through voting for Trump OR these riots). How many people are stating they are voting for Biden simply because they don't like Trump? Can any of these individuals indicate even one platform promise of Biden?

fuck off TC, the only embarrassment I see from Canada is yourself.
