I see no difference between Yoho's post and the "I'm not racist, but ...." qualifier that people think gets them a get out of jail free card.

Happy to be proven wrong!

The Caveat is that our identities aren't public facing?

I do appreciate that he at least leaves out the “I am not a racist” bit. Efficiency.

Looks like reliable information there.

Apparently an interview with Jen Gerson?

I'm glad Yoho dropped any pretext of not being a racist. He's just outright owning it now.

Nope the post illustrated the NDP working on the big issues of the day facing the Province.

Smith gets picked apart incessantly for trying to defend Albertans rights, it’s good to get some insight on what keeps the NDP busy since they've been so quiet the last week or two.

A couple weeks back Yoho was the first person I ever put on my ignore list. And I gotta say, it's been great. The only problem is when others quote or reply to him/her/it.

He came out as a racist back around the time of the George Floyd murder if I remember correctly. He’s your prototypical ignorant bigot. Doesn’t understand the world, hates the libs, thinks less of people of who aren’t straight white folks. Pretty sad.

Can't believe it can still post in here.

I think that is being said that about a few...even me on the Flames side of things. If you are strongly pro something and/or strongly con something homers can't stand it.

Or it illustrates that the herald wrote a small article about one (sensible) thing that they are planning to do and that some people are getting desperate in their search for things to criticize them for.

Smith gets picked apart because she keeps telling Albertans that she’s fighting for them and that she’s going to stand up to Ottawa but keeps failing miserably at doing anything beyond words and symbolic gestures.

Ask yourself why she has to spend so much time talking about something that she claimed her sovereignty act was going to prevent. Just because she’s making a fool out of you for falling for her act doesn’t mean the rest of us have to fall for it too

Meanwhile NDP.

Yoho, ca you tell me which ethnoreligious group you think is superior and should have preferential rights at the expense of others, and why it's the christian whites?

The more language options in our schools, the better - knowing multiple languages is so so so beneficial to a person's business/personal development, humility and respect for other cultures. If I ever decide to have kids, I'd make sure they're taking as many language options as possible right up to university. The more homegrown, multi-lingual people we have in this province, the richer our quality of life here in Alberta will be.

Implying the NDP did something wrong there is so incredibly backwards I can't believe someone would have the audacity to try and label it as a bad thing. Maybe Yoho had rotten Cheerios for breakfast and was still hallucinating from the aftereffects.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

When I was in school we had English and French. That's it. And just basic other subjects. Now I look at the choices my kids get to pick from and I'm jealous. It's weird that anybody would be against more choices for our kids to get educated.

edit: Muta said it first, and better.

I don't think we need to try to make excuses for who Yoho is.

[mivdo]

Im convinced yoho is just a right wing caricature. They make no effort to defend thier position, just posting the wildest things possible while trying to lower the bar every post. There is just no way they think this is doing anything but drive people against him/right.
