And that shirt is pretty mild. Although good.
Am I being stupid or does the article not state what the meeting was about?
It was a bunch of conservatives. Use your imagination.
The best way to stay informed.
Weekly grindr meetup?
Well from the conservative perspective, it does
They’d no longer have the “right” to discriminate at random
They’d no longer have the “right” to force their religion down everyone’s throat
They’d no longer have a the “right” to behave like a complete dick
I mean, they stand to lose a lot, y’know
This is it right here.
Though of course they don’t think this way.
Conservatives want to oppress. They believe everyone is equal until it interferes with their desire to oppress others. They would rather suffer themselves then lose the ability to be openly racist.
This is Canada. So while the below excerpt may make it seem mild and OK by US standards, this is the type of thing that led to where the US is today.
Cowichan-Malahat-Langford MP Jeff Kibble, who hosted the town hall, said he wasn’t aware of the women being asked to leave at the time, and was “saddened” to hear about it. He said he’s been in contact with Koons and the other two women and agreed to meet with them for a coffee sometime this week to offer them the opportunity to discuss their concerns and points of view, and answer any questions they had hoped to ask at the town hall. Kibble said they are welcome to wear any T-shirt they want at the meeting.
It’s illegal in the US well established and decidedly not a minor thing.
Yeah but as of late when has things being illegal in the US actually mattered to those in positions of power?
Okay, totally unrelated, but “Kristi Koons” and “Jeff Kibble” sound like wildly made up names and I love it.
It can do though, if one of the rights you enjoy is the right over other people’s bodies for example, then giving those people equal rights means you don’t have the right to tell them what to do anymore. Which is why many men are against giving women rights.
Situations like this show how differently people interpret public spaces. Calm conversation and clear rules usually help more than escalation.
The “snowflake”, “facts over feelings”, and “anti-cancel culture” people don’t actually stand behind their beliefs?
Ugh, it’s honestly hard to pretend to be surprised anymore. Can we just change every headline about conservatives to say, “Giant pieces of shit are still shitty”?
That shirt directly opposes the conservatives’ bedrock beliefs
He said he’s been in contact with Koons and the other two women and agreed to meet with them for a coffee sometime this week to offer them the opportunity to discuss their concerns and points of view, and answer any questions they had hoped to ask at the town hall.
A nice little tea party where everyone can ignore her and whatever she has to say won’t be heard by conservative voters.
But in fact is like pie as those keeping you from equal rights are benefiting because of it. If that unfair disadvantage is lifted from you, they lose their benefit and that’s why they can’t allow it.
There is a very real aspect of loss that these people will feel if their unfair advantage is taken away.
And…? I mean, water is still wet, right?
World will be better off the day every one of them experiences that loss.
Ackshually, water isn’t wet. Water makes things wet. 🤓
“Wet” is a transitive property; here’s why.
How do you tell if something is wet? You take something dry (not wet) and touch it to the supposedly wet thing. Is the dry thing now wet? If so, the thing you touched with it was also wet.
Now, apply that same logic to water. If I take a dry towel and touch water with it, the towel will be wet. Therefore, the thing I touched with the towel (the water) is also wet (but now slightly less wet because of the towel).
Wetness is a liquids ability to maintain contact with a solid object. Scientifically, water is not wet.

That implies that water can’t make water wet.
Because it can’t.
OK, but where can I get that tee?
I saw it as a bumper sticker the other day too, so you can probably just search for it.
She had presumably forgotten that conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
Most full of shit people ever end up being totally full of shit. Big surprise.

Wrong country
I mean, maybe my bar has been lowered to subterranean levels- but at least her local rep said she should have been allowed to stay and offered a private meeting so she could be heard.
RCMP said it was the event organizer, local guy said it was RCMP but it looks obvious to me this was Pollievre’s team that was acting shitty. True to form for that jackass.
I feel like there’s a serious problem barely hinted at by the article: That a “town hall” meeting was considered a private event. That doesn’t make sense to me. Why would it be private? If it is private, why would the police be on hand to work security?
