One tried to block the sign critical of CCP. The person was ultimately assaulted.
Whether that was by security or not is unknown.
We have a severe problem when residents of Canada are denied their freedoms to protest by security personnel.
We have a national security problem when CCP loyalists are permitted to censor messages critical of CCP human rights behaviour.
It is a human right to protest and against the law to censor freedom of expression.
Where are the police? This was blatant censorship.
There better be investigation of this incident and local communication that to censor speech in Canada is against the law.
What are the consequences? Why are CCP loyalists gaining security jobs at demonstrations? Is there no vetting of personnel?
Chinese nationals imposing consequences on Canadians of Chinese descent has been flagged as a problem. Apparently it’s a large problem. What are local law enforcement doing? What is national public safety doing? @BillBlair
It is not your revenue. While you contribute to the overall accumulation, assuming you pay income and property taxes, the revenue collected is public assets. Meaning it is no longer attached to individuals, but is purposed for common gain.
No individual directs the spending of that revenue.
This is a common misunderstanding used by those who don’t comprehend the difference between individualism and commons.
Like when an person tells a bureaucrat that they pay their salary so therefore they are bureaucrat’s boss.
That’s not how it works. Each citizen forfeits any claim to the money they pay as taxes. It’s no longer theirs, but belongs to the state. Regardless of the social status of the individual who pays tax, the money no longer belongs to them.
What gives people who call themselves inclusive the idea that blocking someone who shares the same policy goals as socialist, but has a completely different worldview than the 20% of the population digs in their heels over any change.
We can’t exterminate the far right. We have to live together. Plurality means learning to live amongst people who don’t share your values. It means learning how to agree to disagree. I have no fondness for conservatives. Centrism is not the problem. A divided electorate is.
The more we focus on our differences, the deeper we drive the wedge between ourselves.
Why are socialists unable to process what plurality and diversity means? Why is this concept so hard for lefties to understand?
What makes socialists believe only they have the answer?
Radical Christians who refuse to acknowledge health research and science as valid & legitimate guides to protect the public’s health are demanding they be exempt from covid restrictions and mandates.
We have public health mandates that apply to everyone or we have compromised public health.
Public health orders cannot be arbitrarily exempted for certain populations because of unscientific and ignorant beliefs. We are all equal under the law, which includes health orders.
There are no exemptions for stealing. None for break and enter. No hall passes for fraud. And no breaks for those who want to drink and drive. The law applies equally to all or it’s not a law.
This is what the Dominionist community is attempting.
But we both know many don’t know how executive contracts contain predetermined performance pay.
Because you didn’t bother to research it or inform readers.
Your lack of integrity and willingness to amplify disinformation is becoming characteristic of the rag you work for.
It was conservatives who approved the employment contract, and thereby the performance bonuses it contained. Regardless of Vance’s dalliances, his contract included a performance bonus.
Why can’t you name your source? None of this is a secret.
It’s no secret that Sheila Gunn Reid, Rebel Media and Ezra Levant promote racist stereotypes and disinformation. Both have been labelled as white supremacist apologists who regularly amplify racist and xenophobic tropes, beliefs & values.
So it should come as no surprise that both are promoting the Grace Life/Pastor Coates anti masking & anti rule of law nonsense taking place in Edmonton, Alberta over the last few months. White supremacists promoting white supremacy under the auspices of devout evangelism & faith.
The extremist religious right, aka Christian Nationalists, continue to amplify and call for outright civil disobedience and flouting public health orders as ordained by god.
The public mostly ignores this issue. Too political, too incendiary. Too inflammatory. Fringe movement.
