Living that Alberta life! I love Politics, hockey, spending a day on the boat

Never hurts to wait a little while for the details before reaching reckless, sweeping conclusions. Unless, of course, the recklessness is the point.

@GrantBrown36280 @DavidStaplesYEG @UAlberta Poor guy can’t handle losing a debate 😢

[AlbertaGreg @Alberta_Guy99]

@GrantBrown36280 @DavidStaplesYEG @UAlberta What’s your question? I’ve never cancelled anyone, I’m not an expert on anyone who’s ever been fired. What I AM doing, is asking @DavidStaplesYEG , who frequently tells the world he is a free speech absolutist, what other opinions he doesn’t tolerate

[AlbertaGreg @Alberta_Guy99]

@GrantBrown36280 @DavidStaplesYEG @UAlberta The same Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms that hired someone to stalk a judge whose opinion you disagreed with, trying to put illegal pressure on the justice system leading to the leader being disbarred? That explains where you’re coming from

[AlbertaGreg @Alberta_Guy99]

@GrantBrown36280 @DavidStaplesYEG @UAlberta I’ve never cancelled anyone, but I’m replying to a thread where @DavidStaplesYEG is pushing a public university to put aside academic freedom to cancel someone for speech he doesn’t like

[AlbertaGreg @Alberta_Guy99]

@GrantBrown36280 @DavidStaplesYEG @UAlberta I’m taking notes of this for the next time conservatives, who are never actually on the side of free speech, complain about infringements to free speech. Hopefully it means we’ll see less hypocrisy from conservatives!

[AlbertaGreg @Alberta_Guy99]

@GrantBrown36280 @DavidStaplesYEG @UAlberta Good job at ignoring my question. I’m pointing out @DavidStaplesYEG ‘s hypocrisy at being a free speech absolutist, but calling for a public institution to shun someone for speech he doesn’t like.

[AlbertaGreg @Alberta_Guy99]

@GrantBrown36280 @DavidStaplesYEG @UAlberta What other views should get you targeted and black listed from public institutions? Just so I can keep track of the hypocrisy

[AlbertaGreg @Alberta_Guy99]

@peteremcc “If other jurisdictions have laws you have to follow, will you break them?”

“No, simply no.”

Sounds like the kind of thing you would want a Prime Minister to say, especially if you’re from Alberta where we are especially sensitive to federal jurisdiction.

[AlbertaGreg @Alberta_Guy99]

@dstaples @DavidStaplesYEG Are you suggesting that the EPS and UCP have soft on drugs policies? They of course being the two entities that have anything to do with drug enforcement

[AlbertaGreg @Alberta_Guy99]

@DavidStaplesYEG Any amount of corruption is okay, as long as you believe the UCP’s talking points without a second thought!

[AlbertaGreg @Alberta_Guy99]

@Citizen004 @AndrewKnack @CathyHeron “doesn’t spend the day posting on twitter” isn’t the comeback you think it is.

If you aren’t willing to look at decades of international relations precedent in the region and having any sympathy for displaced and hurt people on both sides, that’s an incredible flaw.

[AlbertaGreg @Alberta_Guy99]

@Citizen004 @AndrewKnack @CathyHeron I guess when you don’t have a response to an argument, this reply works!

[AlbertaGreg @Alberta_Guy99]

@Citizen004 @AndrewKnack @CathyHeron Do you only feel like we should call out injustice in some cases but not others? Yes we should call out neo Nazis. Always, under every circumstances. We should also call out genocide and mass violence in Palestine.

[AlbertaGreg @Alberta_Guy99]

@YesToEmpathy @Max_TO @KristinRaworth The Alberta NDP is less involved with their federal counterparts than the provincial conservatives are with the federal conservatives… should we tie Danielle Smith to every blunder the CPC has?

[AlbertaGreg @Alberta_Guy99]

@Max_TO @KristinRaworth So one MLA offering sympathies to Albertans with loved ones impacted by an international conflict is one reason not to vote for them - and luke warm involvement in popular progressive topics is the other?

[AlbertaGreg @Alberta_Guy99]

@Max_TO @KristinRaworth My point is if this is the best example you can bring if the Alberta NDP pushing a progressive agenda, there are obvious holes in that argument.

[AlbertaGreg @Alberta_Guy99]

@BurtSchoeppe I think you’re posting in good faith too, which is why I am enjoying the conversation. All I am trying to convey, is that the popularity of actual policy positions is often different than voting intentions, as has always been the case.

[AlbertaGreg @Alberta_Guy99]

@Max_TO @KristinRaworth Have you not been paying attention to the lives lost on both sides of the conflict? If you think that someone with family on the Palestinian side shouldn’t be able to grieve a loved one when someone on the Israeli side should, just because of politics, I think that’s a problem.
