I expect we will see the bar of civility lowered to new depths while we hear that Kenney is the start of the apocalypse.

If you've followed my posts in the OT section last few months or maybe even a year now, you've noticed that I've become increasingly unwilling to identify as liberal because of progressives who annoy me and have gone overboard. I'm very much left leaning in a lot of ways but not in the progressive, social justice warrior, identity politics way. I actually get in a lot of arguments/debates now on facebook and in person with friends over the direction of unions, the left, and progressive ideas.
The left will use Kenneys own words against him and rightly so, and even me as someone who's sick of identity politics will be alarmed by someone like Kenney, you've got issues and maybe you need to re-evaluate your own position. Kenney isn't the start of the apocalypse and no one is suggesting he is... to repeat.... Kenney holds morally repugnant views on gays and lesbians and I don't want him to be Premier. I don't believe for a moment someone who's spent his life crusading against the gays has suddenly become a tolerant centrist.
