Anti-NATO? Anti-American? No mention of the adversaries of the day? Sounds vaguely familiar ....

There’s always some folks keen to come out for what they see as a good time, and aren’t too picky about underlying cause. I do think the overlap of pro-Palestinian / anti-imperialism / anti-militarism will probably have some staying power for the foreseeable future.Anti-NATO? Anti-American?

Yes… Probably to an extent. But protests are also pretty cheap in major urban centers where the motivated people are already present. I don’t doubt that there’s some malign foreign influence, but I think it’s largely influencing stuff that’s already there, and may be pretty hands off. Interestingly though, that’s the sort of stuff that could be captured by the new foreign influence offences were it able to be proven.
Overall I wouldn’t oversell the foreign role, but I’d not be surprised if it exists at least a bit.

I am totally guessing here but I think these "movements" and protest are mostly organic and will happen on their own. However if our adversarial nations and organizations see an opportunity to pour some gas on the fire, I think they would.

I have seen a lot written about Iranian, or suspected Iranian, funding of the Team Hamas protests mostly because of Iranian state links to groups here and the professional nature of their signage and organization. And at least one group in Victoria was paying protesters hundreds of dollars to show up. This has all been reported on in the MSM.
Agreed.

And anyone lighting anything on fire during a "protest" needs to be hit with water cannon and arrested forthwith.

Fair bit of literature out there about the West's disarmament movement getting a fair bit of Soviet "gas" in its heyday - financial, HR and venues to "internationalize" the narrative while still keeping USSR 1.0 out of the "they should take theirs apart" narrative. More on that here (usual Wikipedia caveats apply).

I'm waiting for either the 'freedom of speech' argument or 'I'm so sorry - I was caught up in the moment' (or mis-quoted).

*used to. Franchise revoked.
If she was in fact participating in chants about a “final solution” and she was identified, there may be criminal charges coming her way.

Mayor Jeremy Levi
Mayor of Hamstead, PQ
While Second Cup CEO Peter Mammas was at a theatre watching Gladiator II with his children, he learned about a franchise owner spewing vile antisemitism. Without hesitation, he took decisive action to shut it down immediately. Contrast this with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who was at a Taylor Swift concert with his children as Montreal faced chaos. He did nothing. Leadership is defined by action in moments of crisis. One acted. One didn’t. Let that sink in.

The CEO has both the legal power and the immediate need to act to protect his brand. The PM, conversely, needs to be adequately briefed on what’s actually going on to determine if a) it’s in his wheelhouse at all, b) anything else being said by other parts of government is consistent, and c) should he be opening his mouth at all right now or let the appropriate authorities handle the immediate situation first?
The PM has since commented on and condemned the events in Montreal. He didn’t do so the moment of. I think it’s unrealistic to expect that he or any PM would. Some pretty unreasonable and unrealistic expectations are being set up here for the next guy.

In the mid-80s there were three big campus causes: anti-apartheid, pro-Nicaragua, nuclear disarmament. The last was often presented as if unilateral western disarmament ought to be the goal. At least they had one correct.Fair bit of literature out there about the West's disarmament movement getting a fair bit of Soviet "gas" in its heyday - financial, HR and venues to "internationalize" the narrative while still keeping USSR 1.0 out of the "they should take theirs apart" narrative.

Would Trudeau, based on his history/testimony, listen, comprehend, remember this briefing? Did anyone interrupt his dancing with a bunch of teenage girls, while there was a "disturbance" in Montreal? We don't know, but you would think that someone would think it important enough to shout in his ear.
Trudeau is being mocked on US, UK and Australian TV news that I have seen in the past days.
Not the image I want for Canada.
You can try to be reasonable all you want. Trudeau will still be an embarrassment.
Dither and mouth platitudes in word salad phrases after the fact.

He is,.....but not in this case.
If anyone needs to stay back znd make sure ALL facts are in before commenting, it's our PM.
Funny how he's usually in shite for sounding off too soon. I wish folks would think with their brains and not their hatred.....
