Parler leak map. Disheartening amount of users in Calgary/area.

Most of the UCP cabinet at least.

Have to wait for the Ashley Madison leak responses. "I was just curious!"

You can actually pinpoint the house. Not that just being on Parler makes you guilty of anything.

This.

I didn't make an account but curiosity of it almost made me - wanting to see what people where ranting about. What matters is what someone said on the platform, not if they had an account.

Just to add some additional context to the Parler thing:

Calgary- 64
Montreal- 160
Toronto- 422
Kingston- 292
Vancouver- 120

For being the likely center of right-wing politics in Canada, Calgary actually has a relatively low count, if I'm reading the map correctly.

An article on Bill Moyers’ site also provides a timeline with a bit of focus outlining the slow walk of the request for national guard assistance

One smack in the middle of Old City Hall. Isn't that where City Council's offices are?

You don't see how that is an apples and orange comparison? I don't have an account, but hell if I did, based solely on my short post history here alone, I would welcome any charges that I was on Parler for more than just curiosity.

Again, I don't have an account, but your post is dangerous - Peoples homes are listed publicly and we are condemning them without any idea of what they wrote.

Condemning them for being on there turns into a witch hunt. What people posted there is what should be evaluated, not having an account alone.

Yeah, given the current climate, sharing something that identifies homes of people with accounts on Parler is not good. I would think quite a few people joined out of curiosity, or joined out of wanting a conservative community or something but weren't themselves extreme or participating in promoting anything dangerous. You simply can't tell why someone joined or what they were doing from this, but people may make assumptions about neighbors, friends, coworkers, businesses etc. based off of this. I hope nobody who joined Parler merely out of curiosity or used it for harmless purposes ends up with their home being vandalized or suffering in some other undeserved way. I never joined, but I was certainly curious to see what was going on in that bubble.

One of us is reading the map incorrectly because, for example, I only see 2 users in Kingston (not 292).
