Hate crimes spike in Canada: Trump to blame

Lawrence Martin has some scary stats in his Globe and Mail column today, courtesy of a couple of impartial experts with a vested interest in promoting them.

Did you know the number of far-right groups in Canada has grown by 30% since Trump was elected POTUS? Yup, there’s about three hundred of them now.

Even more alarming,  the Trump-aligned “hard right” in Canada numbers roughly 20% of the population. Hokey doodle! That’s 7.5 million Canadian Trumpkins! And lest the reader imagine that Mr. Martin is indulging a little fear-mongering, he reminds us that those 7.5 million far right Canadians are “vocal and ruthless and determined…”

Heck, the Newfoundland constabulary even nabbed one who was in possession of 36 knives and a viable plan to use them in an assassination campaign against Newfie politicians!

Hmm…

Why is it then, that on the rare occasion one of those 300 hate groups calls their 7,500,000 followers into the streets for a demo, they struggle to get a dozen people to show up?

Take a chill pill, dude. Trump is over. Move on.
