@nspolinews I regret that this has been taken out of context - and I’m upset this is being reposted now. I don’t who didn’t this or why, but to suggest that I am antisemitic is simply false. Antisemitism has no place in our society.
The Glace Bay Liberal candidate, John John McCarthy, shared a photo of himself with a moustache styled after Adolf Hitler, as recognized by one of the comments on it that says "Heil McCarthy". This was shared by a voter concerned about anti-semitism in the party. #nspoli#nsvotes
Coming from the guy who secretly delisted a protected provincial park only to sell it for $300/acre to an American developer. Privatization ≠ protection, Iain.
Do something truly revolutionary and completely American:
Buy IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE, out in paperback TODAY with a brand-new Foreword.
Read it for the girls in your life. Think for yourself.

Parliament has passed my motion calling on Justin Trudeau to stop taking Indigenous Kids and Residential School Survivors to court
The vote was 267-0
Liberal cabinet refused to vote yes
Justin Trudeau didn't even bother to show up
I promise I won't stop fighting for justice
Should a group of activists decide what books adults can read?
PRIDE is demanding Halifax Library ban my book. Over a hundred library members are on a list to read it.
The library is standing up to PRIDE - but it is standing alone.

@plaidzman@jaxbch_golfarch@AbigailShrier@hfxpublib You asked a question. I answered it. You responded as if I didn't say anything with basically the same shit. So I answered again. Don't like it? Then don't ask a question 🤷
@plaidzman@jaxbch_golfarch@AbigailShrier@hfxpublib Hello I literally just gave medical reasons for why you would do that, and said that we don't otherwise perform those surgeries on minors. Improving my point, you're bitching about a problem that does not exist.
@plaidzman@jaxbch_golfarch@AbigailShrier@hfxpublib We wouldn't ban child mastectomies because cancer and health problems can still happen? But we also don't do surgeries on minors, every time people complain about that they're bitching about a problem that doesn't exist. Hormones are hormones. And it's not abuse
@jaxbch_golfarch@AbigailShrier@hfxpublib Also it's a government-funded entity. It's not the government. In our government who funds them banned the practices the book wants to see committed. Soooooooooo
Free speech is the fact that you get to write a book. Free speech is not broken if places don't want to carry it or if places don't want to sell it. Your free speech isn't being limited, you're just facing your consequences.
@jaxbch_golfarch@AbigailShrier@hfxpublib And is it not the American love of the free market to allow businesses to make their own choices? If Amazon and others followed suit, that's literally their free right no? Bye bye
@jaxbch_golfarch@AbigailShrier@hfxpublib You damn Americans always thinking everything is in America. It isn't, and our free speech laws are very different than yours. Free speech does not cover hate speech. And this province has banned practices this book supports for youth. We just did it years ago.
Today in Canadian Parliament
I asked Justin Trudeau to end legal actions against Indigenous kids and survivors of genocidal residential schools
He refused to commit
@grooseballs @winterlongone @cory_bevan@_CryMiaRiver Terfs insert unspoken offense everywhere, so that they can feel they're actually fighting for something
Your free speech is not limited if your book is out of a library, but still available at retailers and through yourself. You still wrote it. You're still talking about it. It also condones an illegal Nova Scotian practice on youth
This is not about my book.
This is about whether you'll be able to read anything but a woke-approved book. The activists have made a clear stand against free speech. Who will publicly oppose them?
