Why, so that another kid has to live with a f'd up parent? It'd be better if his whole reputation and persona was shattered when a male prostitute goes media and talks about their drugs and sex benders at the Motel 6.
People like this shouldn't have children. Unfortunately, they have lots of children, hoping to out-populate the heathens that don't believe their crap.
I meant it so that if he has a gay son/daughter, he realizes being gay isn't an evil thing. Surely he would still love his own kids.

Oh hell no. The poor kid would be at straight camp until he committed suicide. It'd be horrible. I think a heterosexual kid who figures out gay people are cool and eventually tells his parents off would be best.

You'd think wouldn't you...
But no, there are countless or kids being beat, ostracized, abandoned, abused, by their own parents for their sexual or gender identity. Surely you have heard of this?
I think we've heard some good stories lately, especially in the US where former house reps or church members finally go pro gay rights after having a gay child, but even though it's getting better, I'd still guess that it's probably still pretty bad for some kids. There are still straight camps, and churches where you can pray away the gay.
so this guy could not drive a bus with a colored flag on it; how could he cash a paycheque and possibly collect a pension from a government that supports diversity?

haha, this guy is significantly overestimating the number of people who support his viewpoint
That is my riding. I look forward to not voting for him.

From HFBoard oiler fan, in analyzing MacT's management:
O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
EDIT: Ahhhh CP has issues with the "b*tsh*t word in the link. Seems appropriate though.
The short film—scored with a pleasant royalty-free track—features Rau hiking part of a mountain, apparently in pursuit of black bears. Rau's gun strap is placed underneath his upper backpack strap which perhaps makes it difficult to shoot a bear in a hurry. In the course of eight minutes, Rau, who sports a "SAVED" tattoo on his right forearm, mentions "freedom" 13 times, "regulations" (or "rules" or "red tape") another 13 times, uses two mixed metaphors ("defend to the teeth" and "regulated to the teeth"), and drops a single slippery slope argument ("Today it's with hunting, tomorrow it's with family farms: where's the end?")
Rau's big beef appears to be with the recent increase in price for hunting licenses in Alberta; in April, the cost to kill a white-tail deer was bumped up from $36.95 to $39.95, an eight percent spike that Rau fears will turn hunting into "something only elites can do, only those that have money can do." Shooting a black bear, the animal that Rau appears to fancy in the video, requires a license that costs $20.65. The candidate argues that "those who wish to limit our freedoms and regulate us extensively with firearms and the freedom to hunt don't wish to just stop there, it's going to come into your own private property, of course, and your ability to be self-sufficient and independent."
In a surprising turn of events partway through the video, viewers discover that Rau's lone hunting buddy is none other than Walt Wawra, the Michigan cop who became the "laughingstock of Canada" in 2012 when he showed up during the Calgary Stampede and was asked by a couple of overly friendly residents if he was digging Stampede, to which he infamously retorted: "Gentle-men [sic], I have no need to talk with you, goodbye" and later suggested in a letter to the Calgary Herald that he would've felt much safer with a sidearm.
The ad concludes with Rau stating: "You vote for me, I'll say what I'm going to do, it's going to be clear and I'm going to follow up and do what I say I'm going to do," although by that point it's rather unclear what he has said, or will do, or said he's going to do. Rousing patriotic music kicks in after 42 seconds of subsequent silence and shaky footage of wildlife. Rau concludes the experience by conflating Psalm 33:12a ("Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD") with the outro to the national anthem ("Oh Canada we stand on guard for thee").

I don't hunt and know pretty much zip about guns, but is a pistol going to be effective against a bear that's decided he's going to see if you taste like chicken?
I for one hope he continues to make video collaborations with other one hit wonders of Calgary's past. Hopefully the Stampede skank is next, or The Claw car thief from that beyond thread many years ago.

I'm sure Jeff Willerton would love to collaborate with him.
We spent the day out near Ya Ha Tinda yesterday. Guess who we ran across? This guy (Rau), with Artur Pawlowski and some other fellow. I didn't recognize the 3rd guy. Maybe it was the Nose Creek Gentleman again.

It can be effective. I was actually told by hunters in the country of my parents that to acquire a hunting license in Croatia you actually need to have a sidearm to protect yourself against bears during the hunt. I'm not sure if that's true since I didn't read about it myself, but I was told by actual hunters in that country.
A bear would be frightened by the sound of the shot more than anything else. You won't see much penetration with such a low-velocity weapon otherwise. Bear spray is the most effective deterrent.

Effective at seasoning the bears dinner maybe.
There are plenty of pistol calibres that could take down or deter a bear.
