Educational Institutions that teach intolerance

Folks does anything catches your attention, specific to your world experiences? The above-mentioned issues cause concern, fear, confusion, and sometimes hate within our democratic society.

There was a well-known writer named J.K. Rowlings, and a professional nurse named Amy H. who have run into conflict with these above-mentioned issues. A writer whose very open to all forms of equality yet showed concern for the young and how they are experiencing gender issues, while gender activists purporting to support them, appear to be indoctrinating them instead. She was attacked for showing concern for the young. Nurse Amy H showed her respect for this writer by making a sign that said, “we love J.K. Rowling”. The nurse was involved in the gender wars also, fighting to have equality above all else established and learned. Both of these individuals were and are under attack by the forces of gender orthodox., a powerful and influential group within the educational, institutional, and media sectors of our societies. These people and others who simply express their thoughts and beliefs come up against an unyielding wall of closed-mindedness, one that purports to be democratic yet proves itself to be undemocratic. Those who opposed them simply complained to their professional associations and councils decided against the nurse. Debate, the very essence of higher education and democratic thought is being silenced by groups and individuals who have learned that simply saying it is not so, and this is the only truly acceptable will prevail against any foe. The opposing opinion is considered the enemy.

My son David went to York University, experiencing the dictatorship of the minority fully. Having an opposing opinion resulted in verbal conflict, and accusations and that did not come just from his fellow students but also from many of his instructors. Ideology in whatever form is king at York and many of our centers of higher learning. Many of our professional Associations have been occupied by similar-minded ideologs. Debate, discussion, and differing thoughts are viewed as unessential and dangerous. These actions were taken from the playbooks of the Jewish Defense League and LGBTQ Community activists of the 1960-the 80s’ and beyond. If you refuse to listen, will not discuss, but simply act as though the opposing opinion does not exist or is a horrid thing, your opinion will eventually be victorious.

Our society’s intelligence, those who in the past forged get ideas and cultural achievements are now the bull work of bombastic anti-thought. They are now the keepers of ancient ideals that have no functional place in a working society. Equality means something totally different to them, an ideal that ensures their goals at the cost of others. Tolerance has no meaning to them, and words mean less than actions. All they want is to get what they perceive to be right. Democratically inspired citizens need to stand against these “useful fools”(Lenin) and press the majority’s cooperative advantage. What is more Canadian, American, and Caribbean-like, than cooperating with our fellow citizens? Please consider, excuse me, sorry are words voiced by us who only want to build, while these opportunists’ words tear apart, derail and often destroy. Image means more to this lot than reality because they believe our reality is false, misrepresenting, and manipulative.

Imagine yourself as a new national immigrant coming from a nation carrying with you the ideals, customs, and culture of your homeland. Splashing into the confusing gender-cultural wars that exist today. What are equality, gender bias, and democratic self-expression? Why are you being confronted by others with seemingly different thoughts and ideals? Debate perhaps, as you’d expect within a democratic nation.

Our lives end the day we fall silent about the things that matter to us. Strong people will stand up for themselves, while even stronger citizens stand up for others. Charity, Concern for others, and respect for your opinion and the opinion of others is what democracy is all about. Ideolog, arrogant supermen and women need to hear the fire of debate, the expression of thoughts and principles that have and will shape us all.

RCMP arrest second suspect in deadly shooting east of Calgary

EDMONTON – RCMP say a second suspect has been arrested in the killing of an Alberta county worker.

Mounties say 28-year-old Elijah Strawberry was taken into custody Friday at a house on O’Chiese First Nation.

Colin Hough, a worker with Rocky View County, was shot and killed while on the job on a rural road east of Calgary on Aug. 6.

Another man who worked for Fortis Alberta was shot and wounded, and RCMP said the suspects fled in a Rocky View County work truck.

Police later arrested Arthur Wayne Penner, 35, and charged him with first-degree murder and attempted murder, and a warrant was issued for Strawberry’s arrest.

RCMP also said there was a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Strawberry, describing him as armed and dangerous.

Chief Supt. Roberta McKale, told a news conference in Edmonton that officers had received tips and information over the last few weeks.

“I don’t know of many members that when were stopped, fuelling up our vehicles, we weren’t keeping an eye out, looking for him,” she said.

But officers had been investigating other cases when they found Strawberry.

“Our investigators were in O’Chiese First Nation at a residence on another matter and the major crimes unit was there working another file and ended up locating him hiding in the residence,” McKale said.

While an investigation is still underway, RCMP say they’re confident both suspects in the case are in police custody.

RICHMOND, B.C. – The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says the 26-year-old son of a man found dead on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast has been charged with his murder.

It says in a statement that the BC Prosecution Service has approved one count of first-degree murder against the man’s son, Jackson Doyle.

Police say the accused will remain in custody until at least his next court appearance.

The homicide team says investigators remained committed to solving the case with the help of the community of Egmont, the RCMP on the Sunshine Coast and in Richmond, and the Vancouver Police Department.

Metro Vancouver’s HandyDART strike continues after talks break with no deal

Published

 on

 

VANCOUVER – Mediated talks between the union representing HandyDART workers in Metro Vancouver and its employer, Transdev, have broken off without an agreement following 15 hours of talks.

Joe McCann, president of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1724, says they stayed at the bargaining table with help from a mediator until 2 a.m. Friday and made “some progress.”

However, he says the union negotiators didn’t get an offer that they could recommend to the membership.

McCann says that in some ways they are close to an agreement, but in other areas they are “miles apart.”

About 600 employees of the door-to-door transit service for people who can’t navigate the conventional transit system have been on strike since last week, pausing service for all but essential medical trips.

McCann asks HandyDART users to be “patient,” since they are trying to get not only a fair contract for workers but also a better service for customers.

He says it’s unclear when the talks will resume, but he hopes next week at the latest.

The employer, Transdev, didn’t reply to an interview request before publication.
