Stephen Harper, the current Canadian Prime Minister is extremely unpopular, and is resorting to desperate actions in order to stay in limelight. His popularity is at an all time low. Now he is trying to evoke Russophobia, in order to distract the media and public from his scandals.

It seems there are enough baboons who perceive oppositional political views as a sufficient excuse for repressions.

Bнимaниe! Caution! Achtung! Typical demotard has been detected in the thread! Cheesy

Q: What's the difference between democrat and demotard?
A: Oh it is quite simple, demotard won't accept any criticism of his point of view.


Any demotard thinks that criticism is enough to label you as the propagandist and apply some repressive measures... Which is nothing but another proof of his weakness. C'mon, you guys are such a joke. Grin

should be grateful she only lost her job, in parts of europe you can go to prison for having the wrong opinion

Be radical, have principles, be absolute, be that which the bourgeoisie calls an extremist: give yourself without counting or calculating, don't accept what they call ‘the reality of life' and act in such a way that you won't be accepted by that kind of ‘life', never abandon the principle of struggle.

The story is getting more and more interesting:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/replacement-pianist-bullied-into-not-performing-after-tso-drops-original-artist-over-tweets-1.3024532

Stewart Goodyear was selected as a replacement for Valentina Lisitsa. But he has now pulled out of the event, citing "bullying" by fans and supporters of the Ukrainian pianist Valentina Lisitsa.
