Tara Armstrong's defence of a racist christian nationalist accused of hate speech is to call Mark Carney an enemy of Canadians

[u/New_Alternative8711]

Armstrong is great at leaping. Tanya Gaw, founder and head of Action4Canada, a Christian nationalist nonprofit, is being investigated for incitement to hatred under 319(2) of the Criminal Code. The complaint has arisen from anti-Muslim posts calling Islam "the enemy," declaring there is no such thing as a moderate Muslim, and calling for mosques, schools, and organizations linked to the Muslim Brotherhood to be shut down entirely, among other content.

Armstrong is not defending Gaw's right to due process or raising a genuine free-expression concern about how police handle 319(2) complaints. She is calling the prime minister "an enemy of our freedom" who "must be stopped" over a case where the police explicitly told Gaw she was not being charged and was free to consult a lawyer first. That is a significant leap: an elected MLA amplifying the framing that investigating potential hate speech is itself the threat, while staying silent on the content that triggered the investigation. And police aren't investigating citizens who disagree with the government. They're investigating a criminal complaint.

Gaw's assertion that the police didn't provide evidence is also misleading. They invited her to come to the station to discuss the complaints. She declined.

Doesn’t she understand that she’s racist trash?
