There was two mentions of Charlie Kirk, in a speech that I’d say was focused on condemning political violence, in a mostly non-partisan way. I’d like to think that in Canada we’re above using weapons to prove a point. If we need to beat back the intolerant we’ll do it in an enormous show of non-violent force like Torontonians just did at Christie Pits.
That all said, those celebrating Kirk’s death are as much simply expressing themselves as Charlie Kirk was, when he was denigrating immigrants and those that didn’t fit the ideal Aryan description
And we should also publicly denounce people threatening journalists and professionals like Rachel Gilmore, who had been simply lamenting the appetite for escalation that would come from those seeking retribution, but this was wildly interpreted as a celebration and now is facing a constant barrage of death threats. Which only proved her point btw.

Anyway the speech is what I’d expect from a Conservative, but it’s nuanced enough that I get behind the primary message being conveyed.
