How do we think the terrorist attack at the Filipino Festival in Vancouver will affect the Canadian election tomorrow? IMO, every Liberal in Canada needs to spend today saying that these sorts of racist, MAGA-esque terrorist attacks will become much more common if Poilievre and the Conservatives take power.

I also saw that NDP leader Jagmeet Singh had attended the festival before the attack. Might this have been an attempt to kill him?
This question shows the difference between most on the left and most on the right. 99% of Republican campaign operatives don't care if the statements they make are "fair" (if there's even such thing as a fair statement), and would just go ahead and make the statement anyway. And guess what - as we saw last year, their method works.
A lot of immoral things no-one should do work, up to and including genocide. Becoming the same as the party that's destroying the country is not the right way, or in other words, the ends don't justify the means when the means is to become inveterate liars.
I know most of us Democrats reflectively hate conservatives but this guy, Poilievre isn't a racist like the MAGAs in America. Canada hasn't lost it's sanity yet.
He specifically tried to kill Filipino- and Filipina-Canadians? I must confess I’ve avoided reading the detailed reports. Whatever the details, this is beyond monstrous.
The reports on WINS stated that this is not a terrorist attack although the suspect who was arrested in connection with the incident is known to police.
Does anyone here know the reputation of the Vancouver Police? Do they actually do their jobs well, or are they just a group of racists who enjoy murdering unarmed Black and Asian people?

Would that be a fair statement? Has Poilievre race-baited a lot?

No, he hasn't race baited.
In which case, the Liberals would probably lose the election if they tried this crap.

What, if anything, is known about the suspect?
He tried to kill a lot of Filipino-Canadians, and succeeded in killing 11 of them. That's really all I need to know.

What's the evidence that that was intentional or the intent? People lose control of cars or become psychotic.
Wasn’t there a similar attack on the eve of the German election?
There was a similar incident, yes, in that someone drove a car into people at a Christmas market.
Yes, he was a Saudi far right ex muslim.
Correct.
The reports on WINS stated that this is not a terrorist attack although the suspect who was arrested in connection with the incident is known to police.
I'm a bit skeptical of that.

I certainly don't, just passing along what I heard.
The Vancouver police is generally regarded as fairly capable, at least by the low bar set stateside
