@andrewaperez 💯 percent!! Thank you! The responses are so awful, regardless of one’s politics!

[Andrew Perez @andrewaperez]

The responses on Twitter and other social media platforms to Justin Trudeau’s photo with his son at the Barbie movie are truly vile.

Where is the humanity, Canada?

You shouldn’t have to approve of Trudeau’s politics or policies to recognize that this is a loving Dad taking his teenage son to one of the biggest box office hits of all time — a movie that is prefaced on women’s empowerment. And doing so amidst an extremely difficult time for his family.

Yet this photo has made far too many Canadians — not merely the far right — completely lose it. Thousands of comments question Trudeau’s manhood and sexual orientation — because he’s proudly wearing pink with his son.

Insinuations that wearing pink, or homosexuality, are ‘lesser’ are disgusting and quite frankly not something I’d expect to see in Canada.

If you think far right MAGA sentiments don’t exist in Canada, I’ve got news for you: they do — in spades. You need only spend some time on Twitter; I see this regularly through the hundreds of personal comments I receive every month — comments that disparage me personally for my identity and politics.

Do better, Canada. Now. #cdnpoli

@connoredward29 @upyours_change @HRMFireNews Ditto - hadn’t noticed it there before! Thanks @upyours_change for pointing it out!
@HRMFireNews I was a follower long before this week, but appreciate you even more for these updates on our community. 🙏

@MhairiMcF Perfect timing! Just turned the last page of Mad About You and checked to see how long I have to wait for your next book! Not long at all 😃!

@safe_hrm @HfxRegPolice I agree with your question; but I’m not convinced it’s a police issue VS an issue with the legislation.
In our case, the police did a thorough investigation of the scene and the driver / vehicle and were very unhappy about telling us the only thing they could do was a ticket.

[Nikki Robar 🇨🇦 @NikkiR_103]

@safe_hrm This is so very similar to our story. The driver didn’t even know he hit my mum. He put his truck in reverse to drive back to where he hit her-in a marked crosswalk. He was 83-she didn’t make it to 75. Driving is a privilege, not a right. #retest

@billkelley173 @mattdagley *2020, not 2000
Marked crosswalk
Crossing lights flashing
Not on her cell phone
3 other lanes of vehicles stopped
Traffic ticket for failing to yield to a pedestrian…

@billkelley173 @mattdagley I’ll be your first.
My 74 year old mother was killed in a marked crosswalk by an 83 year old driver in 2000. She was walking because we didn’t feel she could safely drive.
Police said he shouldn’t have been driving due to age/infirmity- he was issued a summary offence ticket.

@FletchNS That’s so exciting!!

@SlenderSherbet @buitengebieden Am I the only person that heard that in Scottie’s voice? “I canna hold it any longer!”

[Nikki Robar 🇨🇦 @NikkiR_103]

@SlenderSherbet Pretty sure that’s a Duck Toller - if so, that’s not serenity, it’s blackmail 😂 #NSDTR

People are asking me why I endorsed the use of "We're Not Gonna Take It" for the Ukrainian people and did not for the anti-maskers. Well, one use is for a righteous battle against oppression; the other is a infantile feet stomping against an inconvenience.

[Canadian Red Cross @redcrosscanada]

Canadians can donate to our #Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal to help those affected by ongoing conflict: https://t.co/p1hdEquhA1

Donations will enable Red Cross to respond to humanitarian needs resulting from almost 8 years of conflict and recent intensification of violence.
