Drawing the Line
Earlier today, I came across a number of comments that expressed harsh and unsympathetic attitudes towards an ordinary fellow Canadian who had concerns about proposed CPP changes and others in similar situations.
I said then that such content jeopardizes the group's existence, at least under my management. I can't be associated with such remarks.
That was followed by more sober posts and I was reassured.
However, just now I came across and quickly deleted a post that suggested physical violence against our Canadian parliament.
I realise that it was just talk, but just the same it crossed a very serious line and jeopardizes us, reclassifies this group and implicates us all by association.
That post had not been reported and had already accumulated four likes in the hour or two it was up before I saw it. That is even more concerning.
People wonder why DS disassociated herself from her Locals site. This is why. Loose cannons.
At this point, I see only these options:
1.) Regard this as a one-off indiscretion, delete it and issue a warning
2.) Delete such content on sight in future and immediately ban the offender(s)
2.) Shut down The Lions or turn over the site to someone else

B.C. politician fined $750,000 for his views on trans issues in schools
Two stories of a civilization in decline. Regrettably, we're talking about Canada, of course
Two stories unfolding at the same time show where the West is headed on free speech — and which countries are still capable of telling the difference between words and crimes.
In the United States, British political activist Tommy Robinson was recently admitted after receiving a rare visa waiver. That matters. Robinson has prior convictions in the United Kingdom, and the U.S. is famously ruthless about border enforcement. Deportations are routine. Waivers like this are not.
The message is clear: American authorities no longer accept the British government’s treatment of political dissidents at face value. When speech is the alleged crime, the UK justice system no longer commands automatic trust.
America, at least for now, still understands that speech is not violence.
Canada does not.

No Excavations Done Yet at Kamloops Residential School as First Nation Provides Update on ‘Complex’ Investigation
We’re officially on the road!
On Tuesday, we kicked off the Alberta Independence Tour in Mirror — and not even a major snowstorm could keep people home.
That alone should tell you something.
Albertans are ready to have a serious conversation about the future of this province. They’re not waiting for permission, and they’re certainly not letting bad weather stand in their way.
Tonight, we’re back at it in Red Deer, and there’s still time to grab a last-minute ticket.
