If you aren't threatening violence against Justin Trudeau or spreading libelous misinformation, you are immediately mobbed by the vilest trolls on Twitter. #CDNPoli Twitter is a complete write-off, no honest discussion or community building possible.
So where are my Canadian Politics Spouties? 🇨🇦

I replied to a tweet remarking on the vile replies to a mundane video of Justin Trudeau playing with a lightsabre. I was immediately overrun by vile insults of Trudeau and called a Nazi for having a 🇺🇦 in my profile, questioning why someone with the name "Hughson" would support Ukraine.

I'm sorry to be the first person to have to explain this to the trolls, but Scottish men are allowed to marry Ukrainian women. Ukrainian Canadians are everywhere. Слава Україні!

Not sure how many know this, but Canada has 1.3 million Ukrainians, mainly in the western provinces. That's the third-largest population of Ukrainians in the world, behind only Ukraine itself, and Ruzzia. 🇺🇦

When I first started Ukrainian lessons while living in the UK, over half the class were Ukrainian Canadians. The teacher once told us an anecdote where a kid was trying to ask if someone was from Canada but said Diaspora instead because he thought the two were interchangeable.

Makes sense. Most of the diaspora are in Canada. 😀
