      4. The confessed killer Alexandre Bissonnette has a distinct and recognizable profile: anti-feminist, admires Trump & Le Pen.

      5. Ideologically, Bissonnette belongs to current wave of white nationalism -- hence his sympathy for Trump & Le Pen.

      11. Of course, white nationalism of Bissonnette also has plenty of Canadian roots: nativism of Parti Quebecois, Conservatives, & media

          Why exactly @TarekFatah is celebrated as 'liberal'..he literally belongs to Hindu rightwing in India.

          Tarek Fatah has been the NP blue eyed "friendly" Muslim for some time also. One of their truth tellers about the real Islam.
