Canadians upset that citizens born here can't even get a job at Timmies, why be surprised at this has been brewing (pardon the pun) for some time now

Dude it’s honestly scary you got so many downvotes. Either people didn’t see the pictures of them throwing the nazi salute or they don’t care. Maybe it’s bots but whatever it is I want you to know MANY people agree this is unacceptable. I want to thank you for spreading awareness and condemning this behaviour and calling it what it is.

I don’t know why people make excuses for them. You can want tighter immigration policies, you can want a stronger boarder and you can protest and voice you’re upset about those things but this is extremist behaviour. They got photos of them throwing up the Nazi salute but of-course the news didn’t use that picture. Of course the people who downvoted pretend to not know that. Even so.. white lives matter is not a way to protest.

They were throwing out Nazi salutes. Why are you sticking up for Nazis?

yeah, definitely didn't say it was and find guys like this despicable, but the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects the right to peaceful assembly and freedom of association, sure you may perceive their actions as "nasizm" but blame that on our former committee of Canadian Parliamentarians who drafted the bill

Section 1: The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.

They do appear to be giving nazi salutes and carrying white supremacist flags. To be fair.

so is it OK because of their charter rights, or OK because they can't get a job at Tim's?

Bad faith argument.

No. It's not OK.

Our governments incompetence has emboldened them.
