Currently trending on Twitter?

#TruAnon, to describe relentless Trudeau fans on the platform. :D  Apparently coined by CNN's Jake Tapper, after he did a piece critical of Canada's vaccine roll-out.

Tapper's such an asshole. Dude never backs down on anything. Always doubles up.

Could have mentioned in his piece that the US has 30 millions dose of AZ they won't use.

For every TruAnon on Twitter, there's a dozen people blaming him for everything: Traffic. Snowstorms. Hangovers.

The people in the US would never believe that the US is withholding vaccines from the world.  One need only read the posts made here when the issue was raised - complete and utter denial of that fact.

Yeah, it reminds me of the time when Stephen Harper was the PM and he got blamed for everything wrong in Canada and the world :P

I had it on good authority that he was a fascist. A Canadian fascist. Very polite brownshirts.

Back in the day, Harper was called a fascist? - even by internet standards, I doubt that.

There were all these memes at the time. I used to post them here to annoy BB, I was just making reference to that.

Harper was definitely called a Fascist. You should've spent more time on Commercial Drive in those days.

Googling "Stephen Harper fascist" gets 1.96 million hits.

Just skimming the top 10 1 of them is trying to refute that Harper is a fascist, the other 9 are all on board with the label.

I will never again underestimate the facility of the internet to engage in idiocy - even back in the day (or commercial drive for that matter  :P)

Yes he was called fascist and that was possibly among the nicest things.  He's also been accused of committing a "soft genocide" against Quebec for cutting into cultural grants.  And that was on public television, on a prime time show.
