This is an extremely disturbing turn of events that could signal the end of democracy in the sixth most populous country in the world.
This is a man who has said:
“I am in favor of a dictatorship, a regime of exception.”
“The pau-de-arara [a torture technique] works. I’m in favor of torture, you know that. And the people are in favor as well.”
“I’m a rapist now. I would never rape you, because you do not deserve it… slut!”
“If your son starts acting a little gay, hit him with some leather, and he’ll change his behavior.”

"This could mean fresh opportunities for Canadian companies looking to invest".
