This is, sadly, kind of normal for Canadian politics, afaict.
Again, the Deputy Prime Minister was at pro-Ukraine/anti-Russian invasion rally posing with a UPA banner (nazi irregulars who killed like 100,000 Poles btw) and I swear to god not only did it barely make the news, but anyone who talked about it got chased out of the discourse as a Russian op.
Setting Freeland aside tho, I meant what I said - it's not so much on PURPOSE, as that they DO NOT GIVE A FUCK.
