Summary

Delivering his speech to host Ben Meiselas, Angus said, “Donald Trump, I’m going to say this once—and I might never say it again—I want to thank you. I want to thank you for bringing Canada together.”

He continued, “It took a malignant narcissistic slug like you to make us put aside all our differences—all our regional fights, all our concerns with one another—and realize we actually had to stand up for something better: standing up for the rule of law, for democracy, for decency.”

Angus went on to hit out at Trump and his “incel gang” who are terrified of diversity, equity and inclusion, adding, “Your DEI nightmare? Well, we are your DEI nightmare, Donald. Canada will always be a country of diversity. We will always be a country of equity. We will always be a country of inclusion. And we will defend the rule of law.”

    “Your DEI nightmare? Well, we are your DEI nightmare, Donald. Canada will always be a country of diversity. We will always be a country of equity. We will always be a country of inclusion. And we will defend the rule of law.”

    The words of a based politician, I would think.

    How refreshing to see such leadership. You rock, Mr. Charles Angus.

    Literally did too, I guess, because… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Angus

      It is nice looking outside the US and seeing foreign politicians and heads of state using actual mean words to describe a fascist. Here in the US we see former presidents and POTUS candidates, even those who spent the whole campaign calling Trump ‘Hitler’ chumming around with him at public events.

      His band is actually going to be doing more stuff now that Angus is winding down his political career and not seeking re-election. He did an interview with Rachel Gilmore a few weeks ago and mentioned it briefly.

    Everyone who thinks this rich fat guy who wears makeup on his neck every day is manly in any way is a cuck.

      It fits — Charlie is a punk rocker whose band opened for the Dead Kennedys.

    You know Trump and co. got offended when they were called weird during the presidential campaign? Why won’t international politicians call him as he is-- a weirdo. He’s genuinely a weirdo with all the tariffs and threatening American allies; alienating him and the country. There is really no overall rationale other than to serve Putin the advantage.

    I hope this holds true for Europe as well, and much of the rest of the world.

    Nothing brings people together like a common enemy, esp. one so deserving.

    That’s totally what the US voters were planning on happening when they voted for this dipshit. You’re welcome, world, we united you all against us!
