I have many thoughts about the interview which I hope to hit later.
But just want to mention it now has 161 million views.
And if you're Canadian, having the country getting this kind of negative exposure on social media is something this country has never experienced.
Specifically, Putin mentioned the ovation a Nazi soldier received in Parliament with images provided by Carlson.
Regardless of what you think about Putin and Russia or if you believe it's Russian propaganda, millions around the world see it for what it is.
Canadian politicians applauding a Nazi.
Which it was. We gave Putin the content for using it for propaganda purposes. We're the idiots.
You can't unsee it.
What this government should have done is issue an immediate contrite apology and own it. That's how you bury these things - as unique as this is because it's never been seen in the history of Western democracies. Instead, it tried to control the narrative by laughably blaming Russia and lying about not knowing about it. They knew damn well who this soldier was. To this government, it's all about PR, consultants and communication. And they do all three badly.
There have been many firsts with Canada under this government - none of them good - and this ranks among them along with the freezing of bank accounts.
It can't be expressed loudly and forcefully enough, Trudeau has damaged the reputation of this country. This is not a stain that can be easily removed. It's now part of our history. Like the internment of Japanese and Italian Canadians.
We need a new government.
Bad.
