Separatists mostly Chris Scott and his bus have nothing better to do than to hijack Forever Canadian’s events .. this time in Spruce Grove. Separatists are getting desperate and trying to talk to Canadians .. during Forever Canadian events .. about making the switch to becoming a separatist. Chris even follows them around down the highway. Isn’t this called harassment?

We have spent many hours pounding the pavement and distributing physical posters, hoping social media can help spread the word.

Hi, I hope I can ask this here

Nobody I talk to in person can give me an answer for this, so maybe someone here can?

In 2024, at their annual general meeting, the United Conservatives voted that they need to ban people like me from some public spaces as I am apparently an inherent danger to women and children. Why is this okay? They're going to get ~50% of the vote, and something like 40% of people in this province won't care enough to vote against it, obviously it's at least okay for them to delcare that belief.

I've attached the policy resolution, I don't believe I'm misreading it. How am I a safety issue for women and girls? I have never been aggressive towards anyone

If you changed the words "men" and "males" to "black people" would they still be allowed to declare that?

I have other issues with the language used in the rational, but I know why they chose those words

Thank you for your time, I hope you have a lovely day 💜

this was removed from r/Alberta but I think it’s worthwhile to have a sense who is running things and where they plan to take us; especially when it comes to the current climate.

Published through the University of Calgary School of Public Policy. It appears in the “User Fees” section; which opens with the line: "The next step in closing the gap is to generate $4 billion from new user fees."
