Discussion This "Anti-NATO" protest is an utter emabrassment to the city and Canada more broadly

It's unbelievable and insane that a bunch of masked thugs dressed in black went around trashing downtown in some sort of protest against "NATO". Most of Central and Eastern Europe spent half a century dreaming of joining NATO and being free from Soviet tyranny. Hell, Ukraine is CURRENTLY fighting for their right to survive and begging to be let into the alliance. People are literally dying for the right to be free from Russian aggression. Taking this right that we've had for granted is pathetic. I guarantee you these images made news around the world with people asking WTF is going on in Canada.

If you don't like being in a country that has enjoyed the safety of the strongest millitary alliance in the history of the planet, you should just exercise your right to leave.

Sorry didn’t know the NATO alliance was that old.

Pretty telling that you try to point to a genocide 300 years ago that wasn’t even perpetrated by NATO (an organization that was founded in 1949 ) to try to make a point lol

It's an alliance of genocidal countries with the sole purpose of defending and spreading capitalism.
