Enough is Enough: Merrifield needs to Go!

[LANDM]

The mentally weak base how they vote on how someone running for a political position stands on either the abortion issue or where they stand with gay, trans and alphabet issues. BOTH issues truly unimportant in a country that is being dragged into an abyss by self-serving, low IQ'd Liberals.

Do us all a favor and DO NOT vote...........sit a home and wallow in your self-righteous indignation and complacency.

........let the adults look after it.

And yet you, and many others, seem to be very bothered by the "truly unimportant" abortion, gay, trans, and "alphabet" issues. Not so puzzling as to who the mentally weak are.

I’m amazed why anyone feels it is affecting them somehow. I wish they would do us all a favour and not vote….instead sit at home and wallow in their misplaced anger and rage at what others do that has no effect on them.

It takes a very special kind of Woke fool to shame people that are not personally be affected by the stupidity of the 'New World Wokeness' but see how it's negatively affecting society in general.

But it comes back to the way so many tout the idea that the individual is important, but then denigrate individuals who are not like them, it's like someone claiming "libel" for the existence of someone on the other side of the world ... life isn't ironic by default but we certainly try our best to make it so

The "woke" always cringe when someone is speaking out common sense.

sad but true

It is sad that the far right woketalk pejorative has found its way into so many ignorant circles. It is an excuse for thought and discussion to use the far right woketalk pejorative nonsense.

And that's one of the problems with Merrifield. She does not appeal to people's better angels nor offer anything constructive. Merrifield is a hopeless mess and has already driven people out of the BC Liberal Liberal party.

The racist and misogynist woke pejorative usage that originated with the white supremacist in the US is a poor reflection on those who use it. Not surprised to see in used in context with the useless disastrous mess of an MLA Merrifield.

Are you talking about our PM? I can't think of another person so blatantly racist and misogynist as he is ...

I think conservatives have only themselves to blame. For a couple of generations, they had a stranglehold on society and politics. Who treated social issues like it was their duty to choke and stifle progress and freedoms. Those who grew up under that yoke - allow freedom and tolerance. And now conservatives are in a death rattle of relevance. So much so that they are willing to cheat and lie to have power. Because they can't win the old-fashioned way. Suppress and oppress the opposition. At least the woke are living their freedom with dignity and truth.

When is enough, enough?
Mistake after bumbling mistake Merrifield cannot seem to keep her fingers off her phone, quoting anti-LGBTQ and misogynistic 'doctor' Jordan Peterson. This is WHILE she holds the portfolio of Liberal critic for Gender Equality and Inclusion!! She either doesn't 'get it' or she is utterly incompetent as a political leader. One day I'm reading about how her forecast for the next year is full of doom and gloom, not offering any suggestions as to how to improve the quality of life for residents of her consistency. And today she's making headlines quoting a misogynistic, anti-LGBTQ proponent. Not to mention her tone of supporting, "..a lot of trans-exclusionary activists. She retracted a Twitter-like about some laws that had changed in the U.S. that were discriminatory toward trans people."

There is something truly offensive about someone who takes a position of power and influence in public office to shine a negative light on some of our most vulnerable citizens. Renee, you should be ashamed of yourself and you really need to smarten up with your Twitter engagement. Just because you don't understand the gravity of what your quote might mean to others isn't as you called it, "...nothing more than someone trying to make something of an issue that it simply is not." It truly shows that you either don't support the LGBTQ community, or you're too dumb to understand it, my thoughts are a bit of both.

If the BC Liberals and Kevin Falcan had any integrity, they would remove Merrifield as critic for Gender Equality and Inclusion ASAP, before she can anything up any further. She's been a slow-moving car wreck for the past 2.5 years. I ask the public, what has Merrifield done to better our community in these last 2.5 years other than negativity and controversy?

I completely agree....she has to go !!

Why? Because she likes a guy that lives in the real world and not on clown planet?

The reason I say that is because she is a poor representative to her political party.
And I have heard about her in her previous work life.
I hope that clearly explains why I wrote that.

In addition I know nothing about the ""guy""

Are you a Liberal party member? If not, buy yourself a membership, and vote for whoever MLA nominee you find fit. Ms, Merrifield looks perfectly fine to me.

No I do not belong to the Liberal party.
But it is my prerogative and constitutional right to voice my opinion about her, as it is yours.
Do you not see the improprieties and this is not her first negative news story ?

Notice that which "Liberal" party alluded to wasn't mentioned ... since Merrifield is a BC Liberal party member you could read the original statement one way ... but reading the "vote for whoever" I wonder if they are trying to take a swipe at the Federal Liberals ...

And yes, one would have to wonder when the consistent coverage of an MLA does seem to be about negative reactions from the constituents ...

She's a poor representative, IN YOUR OPINION.
Fair enough, what that means in our democracy youll wait for the next election, then get your chance.
Until then, live with it.

[voice of reason]

i think she is a good representative and i am willing to bet most of the people who voted for her do too . i dont see her base turning on her . i just see people who never voted for her in the first place caring about this . it is pretty much a non issue

There is no constitutional rights in Canada. Free speech has been murdered.
