Does anybody know the closest place I could find an Icee? I’ve been CRAVING one and can’t find them anywhere. Thanks!!

not a paid endorsement

I am currently making a sign, and will be joining them soon.

The sign will say “why do they hate women?”

With arrows pointing at them.

I’ll be there in like an hour.

Protesting a women’s access to abortion should maybe be viewed as something more akin to a hate crime at this time; it would match our recent addition of “femicide” into the criminal code rather perfectly.

Edit: I missed it. Sigh. And to that one comment; yes when I drove past them originally I yelled “why do you hate women” over and over while given them while giving them the finger- ie giving them the respect they deserve.

I was really looking forward to recording them and hearing their thoughts.

Edit edit- a silver lining; when I was walking through the tim hortons parking lot somebody screamed “go eff yourself you dumb c**t”.

I turned my sign so they could see it and they were like “omg I’m so sorry”.

That interaction made me feel proud to be Canadian.

Edit edit edit; re my use of the term “hate group”.

For what it’s worth, I very much chose that term mindfully and with intent.

“… a criminal violation motivated by hate, based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation or gender identity or expression, or any other similar factor.”

Their message targets women, and all data on abortion shows that to support pro life is to willfully send women into cycles of poverty and violence on a system scale.

That is why I used the term “hate group”.
