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.
In British Columbia, former Chilliwack school trustee Barry Neufeld has been ordered to pay $750,000 by the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal for his public statements on transgender ideology in schools.

The tribunal ordered $750,000 to be distributed by the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association to between 45 and 163 teachers. No one had to

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.

Tonight, we’re back at it in Red Deer, and there’s still time to grab a last-minute ticket.
