Some of our Canadian members have posted about their version of magats.

Also, unless police have released informaiton on the perp, who says the perp was from Canada?

Right! SheltieLover Apr 2025 #3

Not too many MAGAts in Canada. Elessar Zappa Apr 2025 #5

There are PLENTY enough for any given person to turn out to be one of them AZJonnie Apr 2025 #7

Almost certainly so, otherwise they'd be 'terrorists' or 'militants' or 'gang members' AZJonnie Apr 2025 #6

No. Canada is not the USA. We do things differently here. Prejudging is bigotry and you're already proven wrong Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2025 #8

As far as I know, neither of us know his politics AZJonnie Apr 2025 #11

Mental illness trumps politics and don't give us any shit about maga being mentally ill. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2025 #12

You're one of my favorite posters here so I'm not going to argue further. AZJonnie Apr 2025 #18

Thank you, it is kind of you to say so. I have no animus, I just call 'em as I see 'em. Be of good cheer. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2025 #19

"What is the proof this guy is not a xenophobic wingnut?" MichMan Apr 2025 #33

I expressed I agreement with Sheltie that its *likely*, under this set of circumstances, that it's a white dude. AZJonnie Apr 2025 #34

I claimed to know what is in the OP and that other speculation as to "almost certainly" was factless. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2025 #35

Had you said 'you have no hard evidence' I would have immediately agreed with you, Bernardo AZJonnie Apr 2025 #36

Perhaps I could have worded that better. I meant that the mental illness factor overrode any possible political factor. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2025 #37

All good. And I should've mentioned I was thinking along the lines of if someone committed a violent crime AZJonnie Apr 2025 #39

Right! SheltieLover Apr 2025 #22

The *speculation* we've seen based on eyewitness accounts is not a white man. I guess we'll see. LauraInLA Apr 2025 #16

OK. I've not seen anything about the perp SheltieLover Apr 2025 #24

Some local stuff, which I didn't really want to share as I'd guess it's premature. I did find it interesting LauraInLA Apr 2025 #26

Interesting. Maybe they're busy looking for a non-English speaking immigrant to pin it on. SheltieLover Apr 2025 #27

No. Canada is not the USA. We do things differently. Not perfectly but better. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2025 #31

But that didn't stop you from posting prejudgemental falsity. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2025 #29

I must keep telling myself. The person was mentally sick...was mentally sick...mentally sick,, chouchou Apr 2025 #4

Right. Magats are mentally sick as well, part of a cult. SheltieLover Apr 2025 #25

No. Cult members, yes. "Mentally" is a cop-out attempt at explanation for maga. Emotionally satifying but factless. . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2025 #28

They should have had those streets blocked..theyve used dump trucks in the past Demovictory9 Apr 2025 #9

Streets were blocked but someone started letting cars in. I think it might have been non-officials letting cars in Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2025 #10

Oh... Demovictory9 Apr 2025 #15

Uh, the United States had a car attack a few months ago Prairie Gates Apr 2025 #13

Countries have started blockading street festivals..Canada had too Demovictory9 Apr 2025 #14
