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
Comments?
I am watching and listening to the Town Hall in Red Deer on X and covering a lot of good questions and panelists. Over 10,000 watching.
I wish the media would honestly cover it but it will be slammed on talk shows and newspapers.
I noticed that our membership is growing so people must be mentioning this group around. Welcome.
We have a few regular posters, but anyone can post, so if you come across something especially worth passing on, please do.
For those who may be new or who have been here for a while and never posted our group enjoys articles and other posts that provide a unique perspective and challenge the common narratives, fill in blanks, or simply entertain.
Readers 'like' some articles more than others, but 'liking' to me is more a sign that we found the article useful than that we agree with it. I often 'like' articles that i thought to be are quirky, off-base, or just plain wrong, but worth reading.
