There's nothing more important for Canadians to notice this morning than the enablement of xenophobic extremism, by UK establishment rhetoric and inaction, leading to the pogrom in Belfast last night.
Keeping Canada's public discourse (relatively) free of this hatred is a huge achievement here.

Expert on extremism here: In 2025, there were 1798 right-wing extremism referrals to Prevent, the UK counter-extremism programme. This is *double* the amount of Islamic extremism referrals (870).
And yet, the government is incapable of seeing far-right extremism as a threat.
Why?

I don't know how Keir Starmer can wake up in the morning, see that pogroms have been taking place under his watch, that they are being fuelled by literal illegal activity on social media, and not make it his entire purpose to stop it. We know you're no politician, but are you not a lawyer?
