Canadians witnessed a disgraceful incident last weekend involving Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland. A colossus, in a close position, insulted her in the crudest way. Grande Prairie, Alberta resident Elliot “Moose” McDavid is more like the amusing bullies of Charlie Chaplin’s early films than a great political theorist. Perhaps because of this burlesque side it is difficult to disentangle the fine flower of his thought.
It is clear, however, that he belongs to a movement (probably, still, marginal) for whom the government, this one and perhaps any, is tyrannical, oppressive, blocking any future for “our” children. Her judgment and that of her companion were final: “You are a traitor and you have no business being here. “The man was elegantly dressed in a camisole which is called “Marcel” (!) in French and…” wife beater (!!) in English, a particularly fitting aptonym here.
The physical integrity of the minister was perhaps at no time threatened because, who knows, we are in Canada after all, and the beast was undoubtedly tender-hearted. Be that as it may, our man did not bother for a second with the contradiction of criticizing a tyrannical state, when one can verbally attack a minister with impunity and celebrate his feat of arms afterwards. with his supporters. What is worse, however, is that such outbursts of hatred by somewhat extremist, if not disturbed, individuals are distilled upstream by reckless rhetoric from supposedly respectable politicians.
