HOHOHYEAH, I BET
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland is denouncing a documentary about Russian soldiers screening at the Toronto International Film festival (TIFF) this year.
Speaking with reporters Tuesday, Freeland — who is of Ukrainian heritage — noted that both diplomats and the Canadian-Ukrainian community have expressed "grave concerns" about the film Russians at War.
"I share those concerns," Freeland said. "It's not right for Canadian public money to be supporting the screening and production of a film like this."
It's unclear whether Freeland has seen the documentary.
"of Ukrainian heritage" they said! Positively subterranean lede.
I mean it's absolutely shocking that Freeland, who has been proudly doing photo ops with blood and soil banner, would say these things.
I would never believe Freeland, who has been proudly defending her Nazi propagandist grandfather, would say these things
She said her attempt to focus on and humanize Russian soldiers was a way to combat further anger and violence.
Can't humanize the orcs, celebrating nazis still ok though!
The Toronto Police Service said the decision was made independently by event organizers, and was not based on any recommendation.
So they're completely full of shit and trying to shift the blame to the cops who for once didn't do anything
Canada is not the US's hat. The US is Canada's pants.
