The newly added Pride flag on my profile is for you, Jerry.
Father Jerome Lavigne, vicar of Catholic education for the entire Calgary diocese, says the rainbow flag 'is nothing short of spitting and laughing in God's face." #ableg#abed#abpoli
@canadianglen Thanks Einstein for your brilliant take on life…the more self important people make a big stink about me wanting to make my own decisions about joining something…the more I see what’s wrong with the party.
This should be a nothing burger and yet here you are, fighting this?
@tylermeredith She shouldn’t have been fired, in my opinion, and the minister is doing his job by showing off one of the many great things that Canada has to offer to the world.
@canadianglen I am not going to be forced to go along with being a member of a political party that I don’t support.
Sounds cultish to say that my opinion matters not, and obedient support is all that matters now?
If individual rights are not respected then why belong?
@canadianglen I don’t want to be forced to support a federal party with membership and financial support to the provincial party.
Happy to take both somewhere else, should a simple recognition of a person’s right to choose their own association be too difficult for ideologues like you.
Not hearing as quick of a response as usual from you…or are you looking for a poll that says that most people are fine just being spectators while crimes against humanity are being inflicted by the Israeli government…with a little help from friends like Canada.
@canadianglen I’m saying that as a democratic party, how can it be acceptable to force people who want to join the Alberta NDP because it aligns with their values and interests to not have the right to choose whether or not to join the federal party, which they may not want to do?
@BrandieHarrop@djclimenhaga Sounds like the party wants to maintain greater central control over memberships and the money that comes from it…sparse federal support in Ontario and the rest of Canada East of Ontario needs more funding than they can provide for themselves?
@canadianglen It’s not simply an administrative matter, federal party gets a boost in the number of people who they say are people who support them and wanted to join them as paid members…which isn’t true in all cases. I like that MLA Ganley said that she is open to the idea, nothing more.
@ShawnaGofABPoli While the services that I exchange for money are not too egregious and the wage, if tied to inflation, would be tolerable, I look forward to hanging up the skates, so to speak…😊
