A Conservative candidate who once voiced his support for 'public hangings' – even joking that former prime minister Justin Trudeau should receive the death penalty – will no longer be running to represent the party after CTV News first obtained audio of his comments.
Isn’t it wired that ‘‘jokes’’ aren’t funny, but instead are just morally bankrupt statements? You never see this with jokes, but boy are ‘‘jokes’’ just a bunch of hate speech. So strange.
There are plenty of examples to show otherwise. There’s an English comedian who has made that his whole schtick. But context and role are important. I’m guessing neither of those are relevant to this situation.

They were being very sarcastic.
