    Our Prime Minister isn’t a Marxist and neither was his father.

    Well… the Canadian media did spent an inordinate amount of time trying to prove the Trudeau was not the love child of a self-proclaimed Marxist, which was quite strange as it makes absolutely no difference who his farther is.

      I’m not sure that it was the media that did that. I suspect that it was the alt-right media (“alt” being their preferred pronoun instead of the more accurate “extreme”).

      And…who is father is only matters to the right. No one else gives a shit about what other people are doing in the privacy of their own bedrooms.

        Global News, National Post to name a couple.

        I wouldn’t exactly call those outlets left leaning, but alt-right?

        And…who is father is only matters to the right.

        And that earlier commenter who was overly concerned about who his father was, making sure we knew he was the one that wasn’t a Marxist, as if that matters. Crazies to be found everywhere, I suppose.
