Extremely relevant article for all of Canada, especially considering two provinces have made funding conditional on allowing this form of “free speech” (aka hate speech) for post secondary institutions. That would be Alberta and Ontario.
The cons are targeting young adults in the place they are supposed to have safety and are encouraged to explore new ideas. Hate speech isn’t new.
It’s as old as spoken language I presume. The dangers are well known. Eradicating protection from the malevolence of hate speech is a fascist endeavour. Meant to allow hate and far right ideology to join mainstream discourse.
Reminds me of this:

Our social and political systems legitimize devaluation of the poor, PWD, seniors and children because they do not produce profits, rather they consume resources.
Society would need to reconsider the premise of its systemic foundations to alter this reality.
The premise that most human beings are just capital that can either produce or consume goods and services became reality at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. A product of feudalist social strata.
Why people fail to recognize these beliefs is unknown, they surround us.
It’s the same strategy that was used for Old Age Security and Guaranteed Income Supplements for citizens over age 65.
Benefits for seniors is actually the province’s jurisdiction as listed in the BNA 1867.
After industrialization in Canada and people began moving to cities and towns, seniors were dying in abject poverty. So the feds stepped in. But not without some constitutional manoeuvring first.
People forget, retirement is a 20th century concept.
Cascading series of failures means individuals are unable to address all the problems. Frankly, I’d be surprised if people were aware of all the failures occurring simultaneously.
This is a strategy.
Multiple serious problems means the electorate is divided in attention.
Some will focus on strip mining at headwaters for most of Alberta’s fresh water supply.
Some will focus on drought and access to water.
Some will focus on NICU imminent collapse.
What few will do because these catastrophic failures are emotionally overwhelming on their own, is to recognize there is one source for all of these problems.
No, it’s not Danielle Smith. She’s just a figurehead.
I always remember Art Finkelstein was a man of Jewish descent who manipulated voter perception ruthlessly to elect some very antisemitic people. Because it made him wealthy and in high demand by the far right.
I remember being called a conspiracy theorist for suggesting the virus existed before December 31, 2019.
But here is proof.
I get tired of skeptics denying all information unless they themselves report it.
How many journalists and pundits immediately labelled people as conspiracy theorists if they read and amplified the knowledge that the virus had been spreading long before the end of December 2019?
In January 2021, the US was attacked by traitors who attempted a coup. Organized by Christian Nationalist extremists (CNP ~ Ginni Thomas) in cooperation with paramilitary groups (Oath Keepers; Proud Boys).
@Garossino A year later, an attempt was made using siege tactics on the capital city and blockade of borders/trade routes.
O’Toole ran for leader on a Take Back Canada platform.
Same people currently in control of Alberta wanted O’Toole to claim election fraud in October 2021.
@Garossino O’Toole is Canada’s Mike Pence.
Expected to facilitate crime by inciting a coup. He is a lawyer and understands the consequences. So he was ousted and replaced with skeezy attack dog MP Poilievre who performed most of the scandalous accusations against PMJT.
