We have a new rental house across the road. The neighbours have decided to put up a no trespassing sign and an F*CK Trudeau flag. Our neighbourhood has always been a mix of different political backgrounds but everyone is lovely and respectful. Seems as though someone close by called the police about the flag. It wasn’t us although we have the same feelings about it. The flag is offensive but we decided to educate our child about why the display of signs like this are hateful rather than uplifting and supportive. Since the police showed up we heard them loudly exclaim “someone has too much time in their hands”. I’m guessing it was directed at us as we have a pride flag in our front window. Shortly after that the Trudeau flag showed up. How can one approach this? We’re all for free speech. But why act like a trash human to get your opinion across?
Rant over.
Express your appreciation of the flag, agree that yes indeed Trudeau is very fuckable and you can see why they want to express that desire in flag based form
He does have nice hair.
On one hand, making assholes uncomfortable is very funny.
On the other hand… I feel like this would just end with you getting yelled at.
I’m generally ok with being yelled at, variations of these arseholes have been protesting my kind my entire adult life, I’m pretty good at making them uncomfortable.
I’m a middle aged removed and have no truck with nonsense anymore, besides JT does have a nice arse.
I tend to be a “get in their face” kinda person so I vote for having a block party with everyone invited as long as they wear a pride flag … then see how it goes from there. ;)
Maybe you could move in next door. I have a feeling we’d get along. 😁
Just ignore it.
Bill Engvall has a classic bit about how stupid people should wear signs so everyone knows not to pay them any mind. We’ll guess what? Now they do! Your neighbours are idiots and proudly displaying their sign so that everyone knows they should be ignored!
Great point. This is absolutely a sign to not do business with them (They have a renovation company). I guess we can let it sit as is and let them dig their own hole.
Ok, here’s what you do.
- Buy a white Dodge Ram, the white sunglasses are free with the truck
- Get some cardboard from the pile of stuff you burn when there’s a fireban on
- Use a sharpie to write “I am Justin ok w tRudoe Vax is gud” on it
- Duct tape this to your truck and park it where they can see it
Every fiber of their being will want to agree with you but the message will be abhorrent. They will send destruct like a computer that dared to take on Captain Kirk.
It’s tacky, it’s a depressing reflection of the state of the world, but why is it something that you personally have to do something about? Are you maybe looking for meditation tips?
I feel like people can put flags for pretty much anything as long as it’s not hateful of a particular group. Trudeau is a chosen public figure, so backlash against him is expected. We don’t really want to have a backlash with people that uses rainbow flag. If you want you could just have a flag that says Poilievre is a traitor or something

I think the law feels about the same too.
It’s too bad that
- the party these guys probably believe in really have no platform other than ‘other guy bad’
- they need to pitch their platform with the grown equivalent of a number sticker.
So much room for improvement
