Literally or figuratively. Don't matter.

I think everyone knows my thoughts on this, but Bigotry, like racism, is a transitive property. IMO if you tacitly support it, then you become it. If you don't want to be associated with Bigotry then you should denounce it when it happens, not smile in a photo next to it. That makes you a bigot.

TC you can decide what I think of your comment based on this.
Heh, that's funny.

You think I'm 'insulted' by someone being offended by a t-shirt...

I really couldn't give a damn, about the shirt, about the outrage, about any of it.

It's just all so predictable and petty.... and funny.

It's like my Dad getting pissed off at my "Yabba Dabba #### You" t-shirt when I was a kid.

Hey look who else got a photo with this guy.
At a place that's all about the political photo ops and they're clearly concerned about managing image (see: Polievre's new look lol), and not ONE of Polievre or Smith's handlers think to themselves "uh, this doesn't seem like a good photo"??

Also, have we become so #### at language that "Radical" has lost all meaning? If anyone here were truly a "radical" leftist, they would be too busy running their commune to post on this forum. Or making plans to subvert the capitalist hegemony we live under. Some of you need some more imagination. No radical anything is going to spend their days working a desk job and moaning on a hockey forum about politics.

This is just another excuse for more right-wing outrage. Not everyone sees the world through the same lens. Bigots would probably be alot happier and more content with life if they could accept that.

oh, c'mon leftie..

You can do better than that...

Really get your outrage going, you can do better than 'bigot'.

Here lemme help.. not only did I vote for Danielle in the election, I voted for her as leader.. and I donated to her campaign! Then I went and donated again for the election!!

I'M A MEMBER OF THE UCP, I AM LITERALLY THE DEVIL.

This is a pretty wild take. Are you suggesting that gay people aren't biologically male or female?

Might as well tell us you're literally Darth Vader. That's how real the Devil is.

More corporate welfare. I don’t think Albertans should be too thrilled about having to pay out of their own pockets to attract workers so that the places looking to hire those workers don’t have to.
The funniest part is how absolutely not at all that would move the needle in someone moving to Alberta, that doesn't even cover moving expenses lmao, who's going to take up this offer that wasn't already going to take the job anyway? Easy/lazy way to spend the budget I guess so they can call poor when people propose actual constructive ideas that involve more than a passing thought

We now live in a time where the explanation of basic procreation is considered a 'wild take' by a certain segment of society..

What a time to be alive.

For those playing along at home, what this person is inferring is that I'm immature for not being a radical leftist and not embracing their worldview.

" look at me, I am a member of the dominant socio economic and cultural group, and I am a VICTIM!".

Seriously, why is it so popular to victimize yourself. I am proud of who I am an my cultural heritage, and I am humbled by the privileges of such. More than that I grateful and happy that I enjoy these privileges. Instead of being butt hurt that there isn't a straight pride month I am stoked that I can change for hockey without any fear of violence or segregation.

More importantly, in no way am I a victim because people recognize that other groups of people are victims of systemic hatred. I don't want to be a victim. The straights pride shirt isn't a just a dog whistle for homophobia, it is a kid pretending to be hurt at hockey so that people notice him. You want to be noticed and the center of attention, then volunteer help a neighbor do something good. Don't just cry like a baby bitch.

Well, you are an ####### that doesn't really care about the plight of others, so you've got that going for you. You must also be mentally deficient to imagine someone like Danielle Smith is qualified to run the province given her past, and all the words that come out of her mouth. To actually take it a step further and give her money? Well I hope that pays off for you one day when you or someone you love has to suffer through the disastrous medical system, maybe you can reflect on those dollars when your laying in a hallway wondering when a nurse is going to change your catheter, or if you just get to wait for the infection to set in. Or maybe you live in rural Alberta where your nearest maternity ward is closed, or the ER shutdown for weekends, and you can drive 200km for care.



People like you who can't see how dumb it is to elect a leader who is clearly stupid and incompetent deserve to get the full experience of what they vote for. I hope a good round of suffering is in store for you, for foisting it upon the rest of us.

It's a beautiful day. Maybe consider going outside and enjoying some fresh air.

Pierre with the same photo?

And that, my friends, is how you kill the all important GTA vote.

Just an astronomically boneheaded move.

People like me don't wait in line for healthcare...

Two weeks ago, I went to my Dr about a foot issue, I've already seen an orthopedic surgeon and my surgery is scheduled.. wish me luck!



Now, clearly you are an unhappy person and someone who takes pleasure in bad things happening to others. I think that says a lot about your character...or lack thereof.

I would never wish ill on another person, I was raised better than that.

I genuinely hope that one day you find peace and contentment and are able to more constructively deal with your anger issues.

Taking them out on a stranger just because they don't share your worldview is not healthy.
