Senator Lindsey Graham dedicated his life to serving the people of South Carolina and the United States.

Throughout his career, he stood resolutely in defence of democracy and freedom, most recently and particularly with Ukraine and its people.

I offer my condolences to Senator Graham’s family, friends, and all those who served alongside him.

It’s real. Apparently Joly and Anand also chimed in.

    What the absolute fuck, etc. Could have and SHOULD have said nothing.

    In case you don’t know what Lindsay Graham was, especially in Canadian context, David Doel did a good recap.

      Carney’s playing politics, riling up Trump or the Republicans would just put his statements into the news cycle for weeks and then the 51st rhetoric would go around again.

      That being said, yeah, saying nothing sounds good. If it wasn’t nothing, I would have preferred him just keep it far more neutral.

        He should not have said anything, if he had to I would have really preferred he rilled up the Trump ass eaters. Got Canadians back to the boycott a little more.

    Nope. Learn when to keep your mouth shut Mark. This, is not working to unite Canada.

    People have been calling Carney a “red Tory” but I think he’s actually a 2000s era neoconservative. We’ve more or less made David fucking Frum our prime minister.

    Let us also not forget that Lindsey Graham called for the invasion of Canada at least once. That is apparently what the “right, honourable” Mark Carney considers to be a resolute defender of democracy.

      Shoulda said nothing. I highly doubt anything material and good comes from this message. Saying nothing would’ve avoided the rest.

        And who the fuck is out there demanding the Canadian PM say something about a relatively old American senator dying of an illness? Literally the only reason to ask for a comment is to try to incite some inflammatory bullshit from one angle or another.

      Why the fuck is the Canadian prime minister commenting on the death of an American senator AT ALL??? What a fucking joke.

      I keep wondering if Carney is gambling on the rapist kicking it sooner rather than later and just spewing platitudes to keep rapists eyes on other things.

    Well as a private citizen that had no skin in the game, he’s just another dead richwhiteman to my brown ass.
