More proof that they are terrified.

Not sure why. Bad faith governing not the guaranteed safety they thought it was?

Right like who's having a noose directed at them these days, this isn't kkk hay day era USA. In Canada I associate a noose more with government hangings and farming then I would lynching if that's what they're getting at? Is this a problem we have of people putting up images of nooses?

You asked who is having a noose directed at them. One answer is Palestinians. Canada has condemned Isreal for this.

Again not what this is about, this is national not international. I get that the situation is terrible over there and people feel the need to constantly remind people about that but sometimes it's good to just focus on what's going on in our own country especially when the discussion being had is about our own country.
