Million person march Sept 20 2023

[Spiff]

Well, it looks like two groups are competing on the ballot for the big March.

The above organizer in the video I posted, and these persons.

So will there be an Election night?

The effects of BC ports shutdown hasn’t been felt yet, that’s coming soon.

I don't agree with the port being down for a few weeks costing Canadians billions, (should have reached an agreement sooner) however, that was a legal strike by a certified Canadian union. Those trucker protests were were an adhoc group illegally disrupting the economy. Legal vs illegal. One will get you jail time, one won't.

A certified Canadian union, that resorted to blackmail, holding our goods hostage, in order to get their way.

Honestly the only thing I've ever observed happen in the US, that I liked, and was onboard with, was when Reagan fired 11,000 air traffic controllers. They thought their didn't stink and Ronald showed them different.

Same should happen to any union members, who resort to black mail rather than negotiation.

I'm sure there are plenty of workers willing to work at the ports for 130-160K

As with any union, withholding services, (unless deemed an essential service) is their bargaining chip. Sucks for the people effected, however the employer holds half of the responsibility for job action.

Not really. And it's really sick when Paramedics and teachers use sick people and children as "bargaining chips". How any of them could look themselves in the mirror after doing that is beyond me.

Not when the ask is unreasonable.

Perhaps you need your facts straight regarding essential and non essential services.

Oh the hew and cry if our gov't did that to a legitimate union. I'm sure the right wingers would blow a gasket. Rights got trampled. OMG. Lets form a convoy.

And the left wing would be out burning churches , looting , tearing down statues and hauling their children down to the local library for drag Queen story time.

Or.. we could encourage a million people to march against a person's right to choose. Whether it be religion, sexual orientation or whatever.

The TruAnon supporters are out in full force, trying to squash 1,775,000 Canadians' right to practice their faith.

Trudeau called them names, dissed their religion which is against the law in this country.

TruAnon needs to understand who the real enemy is here - and it's not the Muslim Canadians who just want Trudeau to stop slandering them and denying their constitutional right to practice their religion.

Well this should be a fine day.
Wonder if the emergency act will be used again.

I don't even see this as a 'left" or "right" or "gay" or "trans" issue. I don't even see it as a "faith" issue either. I see sexualizing the curriculum in the classroom as an open door to harass, embarrass or otherwise signal out students by creepy teachers who are getting paid to do it.

Think that doesn't happen? I recall a first year lit class where the effed up professor had students reading the "juicy stuff" from novels he hand picked to "teach." Could almost see the orgasm in his face when young students were reading it because an authority figure in charge of their GPA was doing it. I was 24 at the time, too old to be picked to read, he was signaling out all the barely legal ones.

What the is going to be happening in the pre-graduation years? Why won't the government leave our kids alone? Let them be kids and not having this agenda pushed on them at early ages? What is wrong with that? It should not be a left or right, liberal or conservative issue at all. It should be a human right issue to not be harassed by teachers expected to time and time again bring up sexuality in classrooms.

Wednesday is a poor pick though. Too bad.

Blaming the parents and calling them names.

The parents aren’t blaming the lgbtq community and calling them names? Cuz I’m seeing a lot of that….including insinuations that the govt is using the lgbtq community in some nefarious plot to destroy family values

Funny how blame and name-calling is fine as long as it’s directed at gay people. Somehow this March isn’t bigoted tripe at all…..because it’s targeting dem nasty gays. *eye roll*

Playing the victim when the issue is terrible government policy that will create harm not help for children isn't "going after the community". There is absolutely way to provide supports for children that have gender dysphoria, and there can be even more supports for those that are scared of their parents. Teachers are not trained nor proficient in these areas and should not be the gate keepers.

When teachers demand the right to sex secrets with kids, or a community does, it's time to question why.

Proper supports and assistance should be added, the current route is not the right one.

And the left wing would be out burning churches , looting , tearing down statues and hauling their children down to the local library for drag Queen story time.

1. The only church burning I ever saw was a radical indigenous group who burned down Catholic Churches symbolizing years of horrific abuse. And who told them to stop it? Their Elders. There has been a rash of Church burning in the Maritimes that has not been solved. Likely the same issue. Abuse. There is another way to "burn a Church" and that is to not attend. Simply don't go. And Canadians have been not attending Church in significant numbers.

2. Tearing down statues of historical figures is happening all around the World. Not just Canada. Once the real history of those figures has been laid out, yes, certain people decided there should not be a public effigy of them. Does that make it right or erase the reasons statues were erected in the first place? Does it depend on the historical figure? The evil acts vs the good acts? This is a hot coal argument all day long.

3. The only people "hauling their children to Drag Queen story line" are parents who want to. Until I see children being rounded up and forced to go against other parents wishes, I can't see this as an issue.

Thank you.
Some of the above scenarios are illegal and some are not. All these scenarios are complex, morally, and emotionally. We have the right to protest in Canada unlike very many countries in the world, until it falls below the legal bar.

1-Many were arrested for burning churches but nothing more has been reported because as we all know that is “ understandable “ . Laws only apply to some.

2- the woke leftist mobs deem tearing down statues is perfectly ok because of an event 100’s of years ago . Because it is happening around the world it makes perfect sense to allow it in Canada -erasing history ensures that it never happened …..right?

3- The wokeness IS FORCED ONTO PARENTS through school boards . It is NOT an option whether you participate in waving pride flags at school for pride MONTH .Our supreme leader is leading the charge and it is truly nauseating with Canada being the laughing stock of the world. jt feels that appearing on a drag show is the correct scene to be partaking in to appear as a credible leader on the world stage . Good grief the world is laughing at Canada and the woke leftists see it as a bonus. Do you ever stop and wonder why jt isn’t invited to meetings?
