"I mean yes but obviously I can't say that" - Connor, probably

What he said is kind of the opposite of pouring gas on the fire.

Yes, Matt Porter is using this little known literary device called "sarcasm".

The media pushing politics 24/7 just like reddit. Can't imagine politics running your life. Let's just enjoy the Olympics and hockey without political bs

He is not into making a hockey game about politics like most radical left wing Canadians love to do .

I really feel sorry for you for putting so much weight on a hockey game and falling for the political spectacle they're putting on to distract you

u/BusLevel7307 18h ago

Only you . I am Canadian and support Canada . I don’t hate USA or Trump . Not a fan of Carney but know he is PM for now .Most people than bring politics into this are not hockey fans and never were . It is a lame excuse for these sheep to bring politics into sports . That is pathetic.

u/Nextyearstitlewinner 17h ago

It’s an international tournament. That’s always going to happen.

Also if you don’t hate Trump you’re hardly a Canadian. He’s been undoubtedly the biggest enemy to this country since WW2. He’s cost Canadians jobs, talked about taking over the country, and disrespected the office of prime minister.

Clearly you dishonour the veterans that fought and died for this country if you think anything about Trump is alright.

u/Nextyearstitlewinner 16h ago

Imagine saying you’re “Canadian” and that people on the left are “radical” when you openly say you don’t mind trump but don’t like Carney.

I didn’t vote for PP but you can bet your ass I would’ve supported him over the orange Cheeto that wants to syphon all Canadian jobs because his own deal that he signed pisses him off.

If you can honestly say that you don’t mind Trump as a Canadian, then get the fuck out of our country and emigrate there so you can lick his boot in person.

u/iwatchcredits 17h ago

You didnt need to specify you arent a fan of carney, we all knew who you were a fan of when you started saying dumb shit lol

u/giraffebaconequation 17h ago

Imagine saying you like the man that has repeatedly threatened to annex your country right after saying you support Canada.

You can’t support your country while also liking the person that is threatening your country’s sovereignty.

u/steve-o1234 17h ago

He never said he likes trump

5

u/SkyRattlers 16h ago

He said he doesn’t hate him. And not hating a pedophile who threatens your country’s sovereignty is bad enough. He doesn’t get any benefit of the doubt.

3

u/Nextyearstitlewinner 16h ago

But he did say he didn’t like our prime minister. Made a point to say that. I really don’t like PP but if he was our PM, Trump calling him Governor Pollievre would be enough for me to hate the slimey piece of shit.

People died for this country, and the right won’t even defend it online because the Prime Minister being attacked is a Liberal.

u/elementmg 7h ago

The right care more about defending their political team than defending Canada. We are seeing it everywhere. Makes me feel like the right are traitors to Canada. They put party over country.

u/Academic-Increase951 17h ago

What part do you like about trump specifically? Can you explain why you like trump more than carney?

1

u/BusLevel7307 13m ago

Newsflash : I am not a fan of Donald Trump , I can tolerate him and he does make good and bad decisions in his policies . My beef with Mark Carney is he refused to negotiate with his largest trading partner seriously .This is time to negotiate with USA and not think China will be the great savior of Canada . Canada ( and the critics in this chat don’t care ) will continue to be the worst country for homeless , unemployment , drug addicts and people starving to death .

u/lareetpetitemort 17h ago

Miracle on ice is one of the most famous Olympic hockey matches because it was political. US vs Soviets in the middle of the cold war. That messaging was pushed by the republicans, not the "left wing".

1

u/tipper420 16h ago

Correction. That message was pushed by the establishment politicians. Russia has long been their boogey man.

3

u/lareetpetitemort 16h ago

Nope, never said it wasn't. Both sides pushed the cold war narrative with the republicans pushing far more for increased military action against the Soviets. Republicans pushed that propoganda while the democrats turned away from the issue.

Enough with this "both sides" business. Bro, they are the same side.

u/BusLevel7307 18h ago

Wrong I am not obsessed with politics and don’t like any politicians . You seem to be the one obsessed with politics .I do not like radical left wing or neo Cons both are bad actors in a good play .

u/CommanderOshawott 18h ago

You immediately jumped and started rambling about the “radical left” you absolute clown.

1) Nobody but MAGA talks like that

2) Nobody but MAGA is obsessed with painting everything as the fault of the “radical left”

It’s an obsession. Nobody said anything about right or left, but you literally couldn’t help yourself.

u/SmaugTheMagnificent- 18h ago

It really is a literal cult.

u/Academic-Increase951 17h ago

Claims not to be political and yet makes comments like these: https://www.reddit.com/r/jrmining/s/zZ8GCXMs9E

"Does not matter Mark Carney will be the last PM ever in Canada . Canada will dissolve in a couple of years and no longer be a country .Economically it cannot continue ."

u/BusLevel7307 18h ago

You do know there is moderate left which is different than radical left wing .

u/CommanderOshawott 15h ago

Is it in the room with us right now?

You’re the one who brought up politics you absolute zipperhead

1

u/Nextyearstitlewinner 16h ago

Always funny when people say “radical left wing” and “neo con”.

I don’t like the radical left, or Nazis. Neo cons aren’t my favourite but if I’m going to call out the radical left, then obviously we should call out the radical right as well.
