In a shocking twist following the tragic assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk during a university speech, a resurfaced video of his controversial remarks on Canadian politics has taken the internet by storm.

Nearly a year ago, during a college event, Kirk was asked by a student from Alberta what he would do if he were the Prime Minister of Canada. Kirk didn't hold back, saying, "I would deport Justin Trudeau the first day. That guy sucks.” This blunt assessment set the stage for his sweeping critique of Canada.

Kirk expressed disdain for what he described as Canada’s issues, asserting, "Canada’s a real problem. I would basically allow Alberta to become its own country. The two best parts of Canada are Edmonton and Calgary... it’s a really screwed-up country, self-hating in a way.” He argued that the national politeness could be a double-edged sword, indicating that it contributes to major societal issues.

In his remarks, he lamented the lack of robust free speech protections in Canada compared to the U.S., stating, "Canada does not have the (American) Constitution, so the government is able to do whatever they want.” He further criticized major Canadian cities like Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver, labeling them amongst the most liberal in the world.

Kirk’s comments gained traction on social media after his assassination, leading to a flood of reactions from supporters who echoed his criticism of Trudeau's governance. One commenter remarked, "The Liberals in Canada are tearing this once great nation apart,” while another added, "Charlie was 100% correct about the Trudeau Liberals.”

Following Kirk's assassination, notable figures such as podcast host Joe Rogan expressed their views, emphasizing the dangers of violence against advocates for open debate. Rogan stated, "It’s so scary. It’s dangerous to celebrate this kind of behavior." In a subsequent interview, former President Donald Trump confirmed that the suspect in Kirk's assassination had been apprehended, noting, "He wanted to help young people, and he didn’t deserve this.”

As the conversation around Kirk's comments continues to unfold, many are left pondering the implications of his harsh views and their relevance in the ongoing discourse about Canada's political climate.
