Conservative candidate booted after CTV News uncovers audio of joke about Justin Trudeau and the death penalty
www.ctvnews.ca
external-link
A Conservative candidate who once voiced his support for 'public hangings' – even joking that former prime minister Justin Trudeau should receive the death penalty – will no longer be running to represent the party after CTV News first obtained audio of his comments.

      Isn’t it wired that ‘‘jokes’’ aren’t funny, but instead are just morally bankrupt statements? You never see this with jokes, but boy are ‘‘jokes’’ just a bunch of hate speech. So strange.

        There are plenty of examples to show otherwise. There’s an English comedian who has made that his whole schtick. But context and role are important. I’m guessing neither of those are relevant to this situation.

    By the examples shown in that article, he is the standard conservative and probably thinks he is completely justified

      Conservatives are not sophisticated thinkers. One might even be tempted to say they’re unsmart.

    A reminder to everyone seeing the troll in this (and future) threads. The faster people just block idiots like that, the better.

        Sometimes you have to go to that users profile page, I had to do the same since it didn’t allow me to block off of the comment. Hope that helps!
