    Poilievre is a socially conservative shithead, but he’s not anywhere close to Trump on the authoritarian scale. I’d like it if we could keep the hyperbole out of our politics, thanks.

      I’m responding to things like this:

      Canada’s Tory leader vows to deport foreigners for antisemitic crimes

      Now antisemitic crimes are one thing, but he includes pro-Palestinian “hate marches” which apparently means people protesting Israel’s attacks on Gaza and the West Bank. Designating protests against Israel as hateful and critics of the Israeli government and military as antisemitic is very much a copycat Trump policy.
