This shit is wild by endorsing criminals they attack the professionals and further push people into propaganda and lies. Insane Canada isn't pushing back more against this

Here's an idea for her, she can move to the US and leave the rest of us in peace. As for him, can't wait till he's gone. Now would be good.

To the surprise of absolutely no one ffs. Wake up Canada. The 🇨🇦 RW US MAGA funded, Harper- designed agenda marches forward. They will facilitate Canada's annexation.

If I was convicted of drunk driving and was banned from driving for a year, I can't just be hired by a trucking company and then say oh it's for my job so it's ok. Why is she getting special treatment?

Whatever the terms are of Lich's 'house arrest', whoever came up with them might need to be fired and the terms rewritten. Pretending to be a journalist and flying across the country to party with corrupt anti-Canadian fascists surely isn't meant to occur when you're serving a sentence for a crime.

Strange that the Ambassador - a man charged with maintaining good relations with his host country - is choosing to align himself with people most Canadians view as traitors and crackpots. That's a deliberate and telling choice intended to send a message.
