In case you missed it, this is what the Edmonton Police posted, and then deleted.
The fact that an organization like the Edmonton Police published this and included a link encouraging people to report mean tweets, and then deleted it is deeply concerning.
It demonstrates a troubling misunderstanding of the law by the very institution entrusted with enforcing it. Police are expected to understand the legal distinction between offensive or unpopular expression and criminal conduct before asking the public to report it.
Police resources should be focused on investigating real crime and protecting public safety, not inventing new standard or creating confusion about the line between offensive speech and criminal conduct.
In a free and democratic society, offensive or unpopular opinions should not become the subject of police reports simply because someone disagrees with them. We must educate people, elevate the conversation, and encourage respectful dialogue, but that responsibility begins with those in positions of leadership and public trust.
If we want a better conversation, it must start at the top, not the bottom.
Looks like the Edmonton Police bravely deleted their tweet about prosecuting citizens for offensive jokes.
But just because some intern deleted a tweet doesn’t mean the police have actually abandoned their authoritarian censorship policy.
They haven’t apologized or retracted.
🚨 LIBERAL FACT-CHECKED 🚨
Mark Gerretsen dared anyone to prove him wrong after accusing Conservatives of importing American grievances into Canada.
So we checked the record—and his own words demolished his argument.

"There is no amount of fan backlash, losing fans, or whatever that can make them change this decision."
It costs them nothing to say they won't backtrack, and thus they might as well try this before actually changing plans.✅
It's truly pathetic if you surrender this easily.🤦
@STG_83@xMBGx Of course they have no respect. But they are scared cause the investor cutoff was June. All the mayhem has happened in July. Hence the bot armies are out telling us to quit. This keeps up and stocks fall? Oh they are worried alright. Words matter.
@MikaDima1@xMBGx Really? Cause I sincerely (not trolling cause I am aware of how it sounds) a fan of *any* of those IP. Was always a Cyclops kid, despise COD, not a GTA guy, and never got into GoW (despite the college effort). So I was never gonna buy any of these and my next game is physical.
