Canadian MP brings forth motion to condem Islamophobia. She

[applegrove]

gets 50 thousand hateful and threatening responses. Alt righters are well coordinated. CBC.

1. How many from the US? eom

[applegrove]

2. Oh. I am sure most were from the US. There must be a system of alerts that

go out telling the alt right patties to attack. The NRA has been using a similar action alert for a decade. We have some alt righters here. But yeah. Many from the US and the setting of the tone is not very Canadian. I wish those on the left would get everyone on a list to be alerted when some hate or injustice happens so we could immediately respond in numbers. There are way more of us liberals and kind people than there are of them. But with them being organized better than us it doesn't seem that way.

3. Wish that were so.

Otherwise we just go flailing about unorganized.

5. I saw that. Doesn't change the law. But the thought is important.

[True Dough]

6. Yeah, it was always symbolic

Never a bill, just a motion. But the wording rankles the intolerant, so let them stew!

[applegrove]

7. Yup. If you go after one religion you are changing Canadian values.

So stew away. We will not paint with a broad brush. We will keep all our laws the same for everyone be they religious or not.
