Here’s the massive difference. If you are an engineering technologist in Alberta you are legally required to be an ASET member to do your job. If the association does something completely offside you can’t just say I quit. They have a very distinct mandate, protect public safety in the name of science.
There is no defence of having someone like Theo at their AGM. Either someone didn’t do their research, or didn’t care, either are bad. If he wants to throw a party and charge people a few hundred a plate to come listen to him talk he can, and the people attending can make that choice. He has chosen a path, he’s free to speak his mind on the subjects he does, but there should also be consequences for that.
