(3)but living in a free & democratic country does NOT mean you are
- entitled to create sedition because you disagree with gov policy
- to demonize those who disagree
- to dishonour institutions that value free & reasonable debate
-absolve yourself from collective responsibility

[Matthew Jackson @Brown5Jackson]

There’s been a lot of chatter about freedom these days. I think it’s important to remember that it means
- free from the tyranny of an unelected gov’t machine
- free from fear of discrimination/intimidation
- free from ideological Puritanism

But being free also means…

[Matthew Jackson @Brown5Jackson]

(2) you are free to..

- receive an education
- choose which hobbies you want
- which sports you’d like to try
- love who you are drawn to
- disagree with gov policies
- do something different then your parents did
- pursue your own leisure activities
- pursue your own work

[Matthew Jackson @Brown5Jackson]

At what point did it become ok to demonize those who vote differently than you? Asking for my grandparents generation. #wheresdemocracy #canpoli

[Matthew Jackson @Brown5Jackson]

It’s been awhile. Ive seen things. I cringe. Where has real leadership gone. I’m tired of tropes. Believe in people. Not ideologies. The left has become the right. The right has become the left. Those concepts have lost meaning. Let’s debate like we actually believe in it.

@ETFOPeel I remember when that number was much less than a 1000. A long way indeed. Kudos to you brothers and sisters. 👊👊
