Communism is great in theory. It’s just never been implemented properly. (sarcasm from “Stuff Liberals say)

His Daddy being a card carrying member and his brother being gay for Castro and all…
So does this mean that Jar Jar Justin is a communist traitor like his father?
When the Conservative’s get elected they should move it to a prominent location and triple its size. While my father was wounded fighting the Nazis Trudeau’s cowardly father was peeing his pants hiding out in Montreal. While this was going on Trudeau’s communist friends were butchering my father’s cousins in Russia. Those Trudeaus are pigs.
…polls showing the memorial was hugely unpopular with Ottawa residents…
Either (a) something was wrong with the polls or (b) something is wrong with the minds of Ottawa residents. I suspect it’s (b).
Speaking of Trudeau,
last evening on the news here near Montreal ( on French speaking tv ), they showed Justin shedding a tear at the ceremony where he apologized to native indians for some bad thing that happened before he was even born.
He also asked that the pope apologize for what some Canadian Catholic people did to native indians almost a 100 years ago.
He is such a faggot and an extreme social justice warrior, he is the white version of Obama, he thinks his main job is to apologize to the rest of the world.
I am disgusted by Justimbecile Trudeau.
I threw up a little in my mouth when I saw he shed a tear for THAT!!!
Don’t blame the implementation. The proletariat failed to realize how glorious the new “people’s democratic” regime of wherever would become. /sarc
I disagree. Communism worked pretty well in Albania, Bulgaria, Cambodia, China, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Laos, North Korea, Poland, Romania, Soviet Russia, Vietnam, Yugoslavia…well, as you say, it would have worked if they had just done it right.

justin has publicly stated that the government he most admires is the genocidal communist chinese oligarchy… you know, the folks who starved millions of citizens to death with their five year plans. fyi… they are currently poisoning their own atmosphere with thousands of coal-powered generating stations.
i imagine the littlest marxist had a word with his uncle fidel before making this decision. i actually can’t believe he didn’t scrap the memorial outright… he seems intent on turning canada into the newest member of the comintern.

For my 2cents, the problem wasn’t the location or subject, it was just damned ugly. Also, it doesn’t belong in the new location.
Make something edifying and smaller and more relavent. Rodin did well with his Burghers of Calais.
I thought the idea was to show the monstrosity of communism so it should be ugly. Of course it was taking the place of future justice buildings to be named after Pierre Trudeau, non?
These Liberals who profess to love Canada actually don’t love anything about Canada. Listen to Justin’s speech on aboriginals and he goes on about Canada being open to different paths coming from all over the world and that this is a great thing.
Good decision. We will need that space for victims of Islam and Trudeau.
Off topic but probably worthy of a new heading is the fact that the Ontario gas scandal just hit the fan, so to speak. This is going to be bigger than the Adscam inquiry. I’m instructing my broker to buy up beer and popcorn futures, and also oil and poultry futures because when the LIV (Liberals in Vaccuumland) realize how they have been screwed by the Provincial Liberals in Ontario and the Federal Liberals in Ottawa, there won’t be enough “tar” coming out of the oil sands or feathers coming out of Canada Packers to meet the demand. I’m waiting to hear the Liberal heads implode, this is going to be such a show for the next few years. No wonder the “Red Star” cancelled comments yesterday.
Bongo is a commie sympathizer. His background suggests that and he has done nothing to think otherwise.
It doesn’t really matter where the monument goes I’m glad he didn’t scrap it altogether.
Good one, Kate.
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC was not paid for with taxpayer money. The Wall was built using privately donated funds, as should this monument be.
The most unsurprising announcement yet to come from the new government; she could well have saved the money consulting, the decision was made the evening of Oct 19.
Clearly, the goal of Jr’s regime is to remove every trace of influence of the Stephen Harper government. He has a childish obsession with the previous administration and is determined to make Canadians forget it ever existed. It’s easier to tear down others accomplishments, then initiate clear, positive policies of your own.
This is not surprising. Why would the modern Liberals want to showcase front and center the crimes and 100 million victims of their 2015 ideological brethren?
I think gopher has something there.
this would be a nice location for a mosque
is this a lieberal step towards scrapping it entirely?
IF the New Liberal gov’t DOES decide to build this monument, they’ll probably built it WAY way out somewhere people will forget about it completely. I suggest Algonquin Park, on walk-in only site.
AND, just to make matters even better,they will contract with a Liberal-friendly Quebec contractor who will jack the price up until the final cost is about ten times the original estimate, or more.
Whatever the Libs do, I hope they won’t build it in a city where it will be the target of SJW vandals every day of it’s existence, and we will be on the hook for security and cleanup.
Maybe Education departments in all Provinces should be encouraged to have a couple of lengthy chapters in their history books on the travails of communism.
And if I really believed that would happen,I’d sit on my roof this Christmas (apologies to all who are offended by that word) (f*** off if you are)Eve, and fill my freezer with reindeer meat.
I would suggest a giant mirror, if located anywhere in Ontario or Vancouver that should work.
It seems to me that the only policies of this government are the spiteful removal of all traces of the preceding Conservative government.
Pierre Trudeau adored Mao.
It is natural, therefore, that his son do the same.
Regardless of its appearance (for the moment), Trudeau will make damn sure that this monument does not get built for many reasons listed above.
Is anyone really surprised the “Liberals” have scrapped a monument to the victims of communism? Of course not… Supreme Chief Beverly McLachlin (aka. God) was very upset with the very idea of this monument and so were the Media, the NDP and of course the “Liberals”, the country belongs to them so the victims of communism can suck it. I do like how the “Liberal” idiot says the monument was “too divisive” LOL… That “divisive” excuse was used when the “Liberals” were unilaterally changing the flag of Canada (Red Ensign) to the liberal party logo Maple Leaf flag… “Liberals” declared that a referendum on whether they should be allowed to change the nations flag would be too “divisive”, so the “Liberals” changed the flag unilaterally without the consent of Canadians which apparently ended the “divisiveness”… same goes for the Trudeau Charter, no need for Canadians to have a say in unilaterally changing the way the country is governed, best to impose the changes without Canadians consent, as seeking consensus from Canadians would be, too divisive… “Liberal” logic… I guess whatever the “Liberals” decide to unilaterally impose, or dispose, no matter what it is, one can rest assured that because “Liberals” are doing it, it won’t under any circumstances be considered, “divisive”. Isn’t Trudopistan awesome… no divisiveness, just oligarchical rule.
It was another symbol of anti-Harper mentality. Too bad, as it would have added great interest, learning and tourist traffic to an otherwise austere, impersonal space. Beverley McLaughlin will be happy –she can preserve her ivory tower digs with no interfernce unwashedfrom the great unwashed.
After the Liberals study this file the monument will suffer the fate of the gazebo dedicated to Mordecai Richler on Mount Royal which after at least four years has yet to be renovated. Richler despite having been Quebec’s best known writer was hated by the French media lbecause he pointed out that Quebecois are provincial, racist and thin-skinned.
the bones of 100 million people would make a fitting monument.
It is Beverly McLachlin not Beverley McLaughlin. Don’t give the McLaughlin’s a bad name.
More clarification and back peddling from the minister today. The budget has been cut back by $3 M, now government will only match what the private sponsors can raise, the design has been scrapped and a new one has to be commissioned and the time frame has been set back to allow for more consultation.
Obviously Liberals do not want such a monument, it is unlikely ever to be built. McLachlin and the rest of our elite betters can relax now. Odd how this woman can interfere in what would be Heritage Canada or Public Works with impunity, but would go ballistic were anyone to interfere with her judging.
The wrong Trudeau ended up in Kokanee Glacier lake
