quote:

Christian advocate William Whatcott is battling “censorship” and “intolerance” by fighting a human-rights complaint that trans advocate Morgane Oger filed against him, according to lawyer Charles Lugosi.

Lugosi argued that his client had the right to distribute flyers that questioned the gender of Oger, a transgender woman. It’s a matter of free speech, he said, characterizing transgender issues as “moral issues” that deserves debate in the public realm.


quote:

“If Whatcott’s flyers can be described as transphobia, then isn’t there such a thing as ‘Christ phobia’ as well?” Lugosi asked the tribunal.

He went so far as to suggest the tribunal itself had already violated its duty to remain neutral by accepting this case and allowing it to get to the hearing stage.

Lugosi became particularly animated when he referred to the work of psychologist, University of Toronto professor and free-speech advocate Jordan Peterson, pointing to Peterson’s argument that people’s choice of words, such as the use of pronouns, should not be coerced.

the premier was in Brandon yesterday to announce around 500k of funding for various crime things. nothing to deal with meth, not even like money to police to buy extra heavy duty billy clubs to beat up dealers or anything. they just dont care, they are just going to let people die

I was in Shilo like a decade back, i'd go to Brandon to get away on weekends. It was bad ten years back, and I distinctly remember being warned about the police there too. I can't imagine it's gotten better in the past decade. Also I cannot imagine there is much to do for fun besides meth in the Shilo/Brandon area.

It's extremely irresponsible for the Trudeau government not to prosecute exponents of the Qanuck conspiracy movement; it has far too little Canadian Content and clearly presents a threat to Canada's own Conspiracy Theory culture.

The two big ones are that Trudeau is Fidel Castro's son and that Trudeau is increasing immigration to "replace" Canada's culture with Islam.

I was surprised as anyone to learn that Alberta's going to be the next place Christian hospitals may compelled to act less like Mother Theresa and more like Christ

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/alberta-health-minister-reviewing-rules-around-assisted-dying-at-faith-based-facilities-1.4952903

quote:

Health Minister Sarah Hoffman says her ministry is reviewing options that would allow Alberta Health Services to provide medical assistance in dying at faith-based health facilities while respecting religious objections, although she cautions the province is "not there yet." In an interview, Hoffman said she has received public feedback urging her to reverse her 2016 exemption that allowed Catholic health provider Covenant Health, which is publicly funded, to opt out of providing access to the procedure.

In October, CBC News began publishing a series of stories that revealed the traumatizing effect Covenant Health's position on assisted dying — and the NDP government's tolerance of it — had on several terminally ill patients and their families. For more than two years, Covenant's default position was that patients were not even allowed to sign the form requesting an assisted death, or undergo eligibility assessments by Alberta Health Services (AHS) staff, on Covenant Health property.

The Catholic health provider sometimes made exceptions. But its decisions were arbitrary, guided by a policy that ethics and legal experts called both inhumane and an infringement on patients' rights.

Following the CBC News stories and ensuing public and political pressure, Covenant Health revised its policy to permit on-site form signings and AHS assessments for all assisted-dying patients.

It still will not allow AHS staff to perform the assisted-dying procedure on Covenant property. As a result, terminally ill patients, often frail and in pain, must transfer to another facility to exercise their legal right to the procedure.

Hoffman called Covenant's revised policy "a step in the direction that the majority of the public has been urging." But she acknowledged her ministry has more work to do. "I understand that there are many who desire to have the full procedure administered on site," Hoffman said. "We are not there yet."

My favourite bit of obviously imported American agitprop comes from Ireland, when during the referendum over legalizing abortion, which was formally about repealing the 8th amendment, there were groups posting image macros of "next thing they're going to try and repeal the 2nd amendment."

Gone Phishing


So, on a lark, I decided to become a proud founding member of the Peoples' Party of Canada. I even got my official Founding Member certificate today!



As a founding member, I get premier access to schizophrenic diatribes about how Max is the destined ruler of all of Canada. Format as in the original email.

quote:

Weedlord,

There are many policy issues dividing our country and threatening our prosperity right now.

Pipelines
Equalization
Immigration
Corporate welfare
Paris Agreement
Healthcare
Foreign aid
Supply management
Etc.

On all these issues, the Trudeau Liberals are making the wrong decisions and creating more division.

All they do is take your money and buy votes with it.

And the Scheer Conservatives are… well…, er…

Apart from supporting pipelines, they’re simply not saying anything. They’re busy doing opinion polls and focus groups.

Who is NOT AFRAID TO SPEAK in both languages on all these issues?

Who offers CLEAR PRINCIPLES?

Who can UNITE OUR COUNTRY around concrete solutions?

I am the ONLY ONE.


Weedlord, the People’s Party was created only three months ago. But it’s already shaking up Canadian politics in an unprecedented way.

If you want more of it, please contribute 10$ today to help us pay for our office, our staff, and everything that is necessary to get organized and continue our work.

Thank you so much for your support,
-Max
