Men are notoriously stupid. And violent. And gullible. But, they have the $.

I'm guessing that most people who don't believe he there is a problem with extremist propaganda, are part of the problem or just not exposed to it. I have grown up in central Alberta, and all my life we have had a very vocal, open group of Nazi and white nationalist scum west of Innisfail/Penhold. Provost had the leader of Alberta's KKK, who I met in the 90's.
Now they call themselves the 3%, pretending to be protectors. All the while posting fake crap on FB. There is no way of reporting them or getting their lies off of it either.
I've seen posts of Christians having gas poured on them and lit, that actually was a group incinerated from stealing gas from an overturned tanker. Yup needs to be censored.
Another post of a Muslim Car Bomber Blows self up prematurely. Actually the young guy who blew up the cars in Sherwood Park. Yup, same opinion.
Muslims attack pork festival. Actually a gang shooting outside a pork BBQ after it closed. Yup same opinion.
How about the Quebec mayor refusing the demands of Muslims to remove pork from the school menus? More BS.
Recon Willies posts, don't they speak for themselves.
On and on. They just keep making them up. Dumb people just keep spreading the hate. Yellow Vests scream at the women who work at the Immigration Center in Red Deer because the immigrants are the whole problem in Canada, yet still identify as being of European descent, not being of Canadian descent. Sons and daughters of immigrants.
The shooter in Moncton, was fed by these lies. 4 dead. Mosque lit on fire, multiple groups shot in Mosques, people attacking others over fake news has gotten tiring, as has the people claiming there is no problem.
Yet here we are in the center of Alberta, and white nationalist scum are freely drilling at the armed compound west of me. They stake out mosques hoping for their chance, they have drills where they race to the cities fully armed. Got to pretend the nasty Isis has attacked.
Do you know about the Freedom of Speech Talley in Calgary? Where the one speaker held his hand so proudly in a Nazi salute? 3% standing all so proud on guard with their cattle prods and hidden weapons?

Extremists here are the same as extremists on the other side of the world, except here the language isn't Arabic and they don't get to shoot off AKs in the air. Just as ready to kill people of differing religions, just as right in their opinions, and just as ignorant.
Yes extremists need to be censored, and they need to be taught that their views aren't welcome
As for the claim that I should be investigated for online threats, another sign of stupidity.

A prime example of unsubstantiated hearsay. Or is there proof of some sort? See? Not everyone believes what’s posted on social media. Sorry you are the type of person so easily duped.

Default Useful Idiots

1.5 Billion a year to the CBC should drown out fake news😉
An extra 595million last year, to Trudeau govt “approved” newspapers and media should definitely fix things!!

No??????

Crap!!!’...let’s call any opposing views extremist, alt-right, fake-news, blah, blah, blah....and pass legislation that puts control of the free press in OUR control. Keys words need to be “our control”.....and we need to get the useful idiots onboard this one right away to help push this through “for all OUR sakes” ....just like we’ve done with gun laws, SNC, sponsorship,bombadier bailouts, etc,etc.........and we need to get rid of that nasty word “free” from freedom of the press”.

Cue Ralph Goodale, cue the liberals, cue the idiots, cue the bought and paid for CBC, cue the decaying welfare newspapers and their billionaire owners, cue those too stupid to see the end game!!!!

And one more thought......how the X would you limit what’s on the internet. Oh, I know, China’s figured it out......they block web sites...left,right and center... well not left I guess. And that should bouy the financial woes the billionaire newspaper owners.


Anyone feel comfortable with this cabal of left progressives, liberals, billionaire and govt reducing what I see globally on the web such that we are all now blind, uninformed and IGNORANT????

There is a certain ironic dark humour to watching people- who obviously think very highly of their own intelligence, while looking down at the unwashed masses around them- clamour for the government and big business to protect those of us 'not as intelligent as they' from "extremist propaganda" or "fake news"... While not being farsighted enough to recognize that what comes out of the Pandora's Box they are begging their goverment to open, may one day be pointed at them.

This guy is a left leaning, socialist thinker/blogger, but he's smart enough to recognize the precedents being set here...

and who's going to decide what's to be censored?

unless they are trying to incite violence against others, which we have laws for now, no

not liking others, saying things that aren't polite/popular

that's not a reason to censor others

plus, how do you plan on teaching them/others, that the views aren't welcome, if you don't show their actual words?

this is the same stupidity the PM from NZ is barfing up

don't say his name, like that's going to do anything

don't talk about it, it will just go away on it's own

censorship has never helped, it just fuels ignorance

What are you talking about? Terry Long and the AN out at Caroline? Didn't that stop being a "thing" about 30 years ago? Or am I that far out of the loop?

I get the feeling that's a particular interest of his because it sure doesn't cross mainstream radar/news. Like anything these days, somebody gets obsessed with something and considers it an epidemic even if its just 43 people out of the 4.37 million in Alberta.

Post a google earth image of this armed compound, I'd personally love to drive by and check it out. I'm sure lots would. I will pull in, ask for directions, and report my findings.

I wish there was no censorship of any kind. Leave it up to the individual on what they want to expose themselves to.

He and his buddies still exist. Now they call themselves militia. The Nazi group still likes to hang out at the Penholder occasionally. The fellow I know, used to go by Blackfalds Homee until they came under federal eyes when Vice News did a story on them. Then he had to disappear from FB or prove his identity. You know what cowards do, run.

A right wing extremist. Probably true, as I believe that a person has freedoms and the right to be different. Comes from a black friend almost being hung by 2 guys in their KKK robes at a party in the 80s, so my tolerance for left wing extremists is non existent.
Strange how many here enjoy the socialist benefits, and should be insisting on paying cash for doctors, never use unemployment insurance, and all them services. Like the milk subsidies for dairy farms, tax cuts for farm fuel?

Seems like there are a lot of very gullible people that believe the most far fetched conspiracy theories. They get these from the reams of fake sites that spread crap to peddle click bait to the masses.

Then there are the troll farms that spread false lies and stories and accusations.

Sadly a significant portion of the population believes what they read without any filter.

Should the CBC censor stories in favor of Jody Wilson Raybould in favor or Trudeau? Absolutely not.

Should media delete references in Alberta to us now being individually over $13,000 in debt due to government spending or over $18,000 Federally? No.

If Facebook or media outlets start reporting on something as true and it is clearly false...totally. If mainstream media just posted contrails are a government conspiracy to cause migraines and benefit big pharmaceutical with no factual foundation...should they?

If media sources can make stuff up they can be a significant influence source to change political mindsets of the masses. Manipulation like that is very bad.

Extremism is rooted in social media. You look at all the data on where extremists got their roots is in in social media trash. YouTube, facebook and the like.

One thing I hate is how the media jumps on anything extremist and blows it up in international headlines. I find it frustrating as it gives unnecessary exposure and power to these groups. If you ignore them their funding dries up from around the world.

And the most accurate description would be a W5th 1%er. Translation: A bad ex hillbilly, with an extensive background in the world of bad stuff. Just one of those people who was bullied and now really hates bullies. Including those who want to discriminate against others who aren't white, Christian, new, or different. My difference is the lack of respect for those that preach hate and lies.

What do any of these government services have to do with the topic at hand- censorship and freedom from government control of thought and speech? Whether a person supports or rejects any of the above, has no bearing on their individual stance on censorship... Are you rambling, or purposely trying to be divisive?

In spite of people like you trying to make it so, freedom of speech isn't about where a person lands on the political spectrum. Or at least it shouldn't be. It should be about the absolute right to think and speak as you wish. (With the obvious exception of inciting violence or harm.) Yes, that does mean some people's speech will be offensive or down right stupid... Allowing everyone and anyone- including the stupid and offensive amongst us- to speak freely, may have some risks attached. But the danger of not allowing that is far, far greater with the handing over of the power to censor any thought or speech to some faceless bureaucrat or crooked politician.

In spite of people like you trying to make it so, freedom of speech isn't about where a person lands on the political spectrum. Or at least it shouldn't be. It should be about the absolute right to think and speak as you wish. (With the obvious exception of inciting violence or harm.) Yes, that does mean some people's speech will be offensive or down right stupid... Allowing everyone and anyone- including the stupid and offensive amongst us- to speak freely, may have some risks attached. But the danger of not allowing that is far, far greater with the handing over of the power to censor any thought or speech to some faceless bureaucrat or crooked politician.
Amen brotha!

Provost had the leader of Alberta's KKK, who I met in the 90's.
Now they call themselves the 3%, pretending to be protectors. All the while posting fake crap on FB. There is no way of reporting them or getting their lies off of it either.
I've seen posts of Christians having gas poured on them and lit, that actually was a group incinerated from stealing gas from an overturned tanker. Yup needs to be censored.
Another post of a Muslim Car Bomber Blows self up prematurely. Actually the young guy who blew up the cars in Sherwood Park. Yup, same opinion.
Muslims attack pork festival. Actually a gang shooting outside a pork BBQ after it closed. Yup same opinion.
How about the Quebec mayor refusing the demands of Muslims to remove pork from the school menus? More BS.
Recon Willies posts, don't they speak for themselves.
On and on. They just keep making them up. Dumb people just keep spreading the hate. Yellow Vests scream at the women who work at the Immigration Center in Red Deer because the immigrants are the whole problem in Canada, yet still identify as being of European descent, not being of Canadian descent. Sons and daughters of immigrants.
The shooter in Moncton, was fed by these lies. 4 dead. Mosque lit on fire, multiple groups shot in Mosques, people attacking others over fake news has gotten tiring, as has the people claiming there is no problem.
Yet here we are in the center of Alberta, and white nationalist scum are freely drilling at the armed compound west of me. They stake out mosques hoping for their chance, they have drills where they race to the cities fully armed. Got to pretend the nasty Isis has attacked.
Do you know about the Freedom of Speech Talley in Calgary? Where the one speaker held his hand so proudly in a Nazi salute? 3% standing all so proud on guard with their cattle prods and hidden weapons?

Extremists here are the same as extremists on the other side of the world, except here the language isn't Arabic and they don't get to shoot off AKs in the air. Just as ready to kill people of differing religions, just as right in their opinions, and just as ignorant.
Yes extremists need to be censored, and they need to be taught that their views aren't welcome
As for the claim that I should be investigated for online threats, another sign of stupidity.
Thank you MrDave!
