Alberta’s Shame, as Tories, Wildrose, Flirt with ‘Pride!”
We were somewhat disappointed when Alberta’s Wildrose Party lost the recent election to a ‘Conservative Party’ led by a woman devoid of any notably conservative views.-Wildrose appeared to represent real Canadian values, not Turdeau trash-think.
–

- But now it seems it would have made little difference, as the Edmonton Sun reports that Danielle Smith has declared her intention to attend events connected with the shameful ‘Pride’ Festival, which, far from being anything to be proud of, is actually a celebration of sexual aberration.
================================
================
Politicians are forever grubbing about for any votes, no matter how tainted, but perhaps these two women may find that their quest for support in the most bizarre reaches of the community will backfire.
For example, the Edmonton Sun, 4th June, reported that according to an online Sun poll, which asked ‘Are you pleased to see Premier Alison Redford taking part in a gay pride festival?’ Almost three-quarters of respondents answered “No.”
So there’s hope for Canada yet!
========
What is even more nauseating than Redford’s behaviour, however, is the decision by the Edmonton School Board to attend the deviant parade, due on this coming weekend. Decent parents must be horrified to learn that these people, who are entrusted with responsibility for young Albertans in the Province’s capital, are openly endorsing a repulsive public spectacle (Toronto’s is VERY repulsive -just check out photos with Google search – so likely Edmonton’s will be too!).
The scene in Canada is truly desolate, with McGuinty in Ontario bullying even Catholic schools into permitting pervert clubs on their premises. And in Manitoba, there are plans afoot to push the Provincial Government into denying parents’ rights to defend their children from pro-queer indoctrination.
The National Post on 28th May reported that the Manitoba teachers’ union wants ‘the provincial government to prevent parents from pulling their children out of sex ed classes or other curriculum items they may object to.’
For sheer arrogance, these leftists who draw their salaries from the public purse are hard to beat. All those mere parents, whose taxes keep uppity teachers in a job, really have to doff their caps to the know-alls in the class-room.
How dare they think they have any rights!
——————————————————-
===============================
They voted last weekend to pressure Manitoba’s Provincial Government and school boards ‘to prevent parents from opting out of any class. The resolution was originally intended to ensure all students attended sex education classes, but delegates to the annual general meeting “voted to make the policy more comprehensive as an apparent show of support for the full curriculum,” according to the MTS website.
If I hire some guy to paint my house, I expect him to know how to handle a paint-brush, but I get to choose the colour it’s painted.
Same goes for teachers. I expect them to teach the kids science and geography, but I don’t want them pushing their personal prejudices on climate panic, for example.
Even less would I want a child to come home telling me the teacher says that ‘gay is okay!’ It’s an affliction, not okay at all, any more than kleptomania is okay. It needs to be remedied.
“I think parents should have the choice and a part in the child’s education,’’ Yohannes Engida, pastor at the Bethel Evangelical Christian Assembly, who has a child entering the Winnipeg school system next September, said Monday. ‘‘Every child is different, every family is different, every culture is different, and we also have a Christian background for how to raise our child.”
Ah, but that’s the point.
Christians are merely a majority in Canada – not a majority in the educational establishment, of course, but that’s different – and will not be afforded the privileges allowed to minorities, like that high school in Toronto, where Islamists have succeeded in holding Muslim religious services on the premises, in overt violation of Canada’s ‘secular’ education system!
The MTS represents about 15,000 public school teachers. One of the concerns brought up during the debate was that parents would pull their children out of the public school system, and this would affect teachers’ jobs. An exact tally of the votes was not recorded, but in the end, MTS president Paul Olson said that about three-quarters of approximately 290 delegates voted in favour.
Sex education in Manitoba’s public school curriculum begins in Grade 5 with an introduction to puberty, the reproductive systems, sexual intercourse and sexually transmitted diseases. There is also an exploration of how factors like family, friends, media, social trends and fashion influence sexuality and gender roles. ( RRA emphasis )
================
Some school boards, including Winnipeg’s Seven Oaks School Division, already prohibit parents from opting out of classes for their children.
Seven Oaks superintendent Brian O’Leary said: “If you want to have very direct involvement in the influences your children are subjected to, parents would homeschool or find a faith-based independent school or other such choices. I can’t see that it’s possible to excuse kids from school topic by topic.”
Of course it’s possible!When I was a kid, there was an assembly once a week, Bible and a talk, and a couple of Jewish kids opted out, no problem. So why can’t Christian kids be pulled out of anti-Christian lessons?
I doubt many people would worry about having their children informed sensibly about how babies are made.
But all that rot about ‘sexuality?’ If parents wish to tell their offspring that it’s quite in order for blokes to flounce about in skirts and high heels, tough on the kids, but it’s up their parents. Each parent, of each family, according to their own ethical standards.
Not some pinko pedagogue!

As long as schools are publicly funded they’re subject to the dictates of the government. Ontario has two publicly funded school systems, one public, one Catholic. If Ontario Catholics feel so strongly that their school system should be able to do what it wants then they should make it private and refuse public funding. It’s kind of funny that Catholics now complain that they’re being “bullied” by the government while they’re still accepting public money.
It also follows that if parents send their kids to publicly funded schools then they can’t pick and choose what their kids are taught. You don’t like French so your kid gets to sit that out? You don’t believe in evolution so then your kid gets to avoid science class? I don’t think so. The state sets the curriculum for publicly funded schools and if you don’t like it educate your kids yourself or send them to a private school, but there are still guidelines for what they must be taught.

Your final sentence gives it all away, vojo.
Just as in Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia, Canada is imposing its state ideology on children, even if they are schooled at home or in private schools. Presumably that’s why Hitler banned home-schooling.
.
I see no reason why parents should not be entitled to remove their youngsters from classes where morally repugnant teachings are delivered.
As I’ve said before, when Canada had decent standards, with regular Christian assemblies on school premises, non-Christian children were absolutely free to skip those sessions.
Now that homophiliac dogmas are being propagated, why should not parents of Christian (or any other religion that rejects perversion) beliefs be similarly free to avoid indoctrination.
As an Ontario lad, you should know the history of separate schools there- they were established, rightly or wrongly, in order for Catholic children to learn in an atmosphere informed by RC moral teachings. I was always brought up to regard them circumspectly, but I don’t like the way they are being coerced by an anti-Chrsitan regime that even arrogates to itself the right to instruct school prinicipals what names pupils’ club may use!

Hey Ross, I think every country in the world decides the curriculum of its schools. To compare Canada to Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union is ridiculous hyperbole. I’ve often wondered why you are so fixated on Nazis and often use references to Naziism whereas you weren’t even born when they were in power. Please explain.
Homosexuality has nothing at all to do with morality, but rather with biology; however, I’m not going to bother to argue about it. You’ve got your mind made up from the old testament or whatever and nothing is going to change that.
About the Alberta conservative politicians who will attend Pride events, I guess in your mind real “conservatives” must by definition be as equally homosexual hating (I know you despise the word “homophobic”) as you are. Do you have examples of conservative politicians in Canada or elsewhere who hold similar opinions to yours? I’m curious because I’m wondering if anyone that “conservative” can get elected anywhere.

Aaah, vojo, you’re back to your testy Monday mood again.
Firstly, my references to Nazism (except for IslamoNazism) are far fewer than those to Communism.
You plumb new depths of irrationality by saying I wasn’t born during the Nazi era – what on earth has that got to do with anything? It’s hardly an obscure example of totalitarianism, and while Canada only intimidates and fines (via the HRCs ) those who don’t conform to the state ideology, the enforced orthodoxy has echoes of that era.
Your increasingly strident defence of perversion (which is not biological at all but certainly a moral issue and probably a psychological one) echoes what that cretin Chretien said recently about Harper, that he was ( not an exact quote but i can find it if you need it) affronting ‘Canadian values’ by leaving Kyoto and doing other mildly conservative things.
Canada is not a homogeneous liberal swamp. Reading between the lines of legislative debate, I’d say numerous politicians differ from your pink perspective, but they know the’d be disciplined or expelled by Harper and hounded and harassed by the media and the HRCs if they spoke up properly, so, like many politicians in many countries, they go with the flow.n
You often frame your comments as if your own trendy liberalism is Canadian and anybody else is Un-Canadian. You should come to terms with pluralism.

Hey Ross,
The one thing I agree with you on in the above rant is that “Canada is not a homogeneous liberal swamp.” I have come to terms with pluralism, and Canada indeed has that. You attack my views with labels of “pink perspective” and “trendy liberalism”, but most people in Canada would consider my views to be conservative, and I have voted federally either Progressive Conservative or Conservative for the last 30 years. I guess when you call me a liberal I just have to remember that everything is relative. I have no problem living in Canada with my views; could you with yours?

You sum up the internal inconsistency of the liberal mind-set, vojo, and, alas, exemplify it.
No right, no wrong, anything goes and those who dissent are damned.
And I notice you’re using the ‘royal we’ again, as if you speak for all Canada – you don’t.

Sorry Boss, I mean Ross, that statement was wrong anyway. I should’ve written is one of the main things Canada doesn’t tolerate is intolerance which is shown by the hate speech and discrimination provisions in the criminal code and human rights acts both federally and provincially across the country. I wouldn’t say everything goes because there are a lot of other things that aren’t tolerated in Canada such as smoking inside public places, smoking in a car with a child present, public intoxication, foul language in public, any criminal activity, etc. etc.
Good news though, Ross, is that Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act has been repealed as of last week so you have a little less to worry about while in Canada.

Useful comment, vojo -I can pursue that news on the repeal that I must have missed – currently pre-occupied with the book-burning here. Reminiscent of those Nazis you think I spend too much time abhorring!
