Elected leaders encouraging the burning down of Churches, who knew someone would actually burn them down.
I am shocked that the NDP support it, but the leader of the NDP does wear a diaper on his head, and because the NDP is one party Horgan must support it too.

Good morning sir, I hope it's cooler down in your area and July has been good to you so far.

Where does one begin to attempt to explain why some folks are so far left/gone that they no longer make any sense?

I will say this about that - the First Nations folks who gave statements on the first ones - which were in my immediate neighborhood by the way - were very well thought out and well articulated.

Edit to add; The fires were first on Penticton and Osoyoos Band land, then on Upper Similkameen and Lower Similkameen Band land. I live between the first two and just over the mountain from the second two. We have had business dealings and know people in all of them.

The Lower Similkameen Band Chief Keith Crow mentioned that many of the elders still worshiped at the burned church in his area, was on the fire fighting crew putting it out, and wasn't happy that the idiot who torched the church almost set the entire mountain behind it on fire either.

The Penticton Band Chief Greg Gabriel, who is a well educated and progressive fellow, similarly stated that while he understood some people's frustration with the church, that building on PIB land was also where many elders still met and worshiped and that it was a local landmark. He too gave a very balanced statement to the media.

In fact, even Grand Chief Stewart Philip, who I don't have much time for whatsoever personally, condemned it and again stated that it was a part of many members lives and beliefs so it should be left for them to decide.

To me, this is yet another example of non FN elected members trying to "out woke" each other and not paying attention to or caring one bit about the FN people involved. That's a pretty clear constant anyways - the not really caring part.

Hopefully some Canadians will begin to see these glaring discrepancies and stop electing people who are seemingly hell bent on tearing the country apart. They, that is to say all who want that, certainly were sleeping during the "cause and effect" classes in school. I cannot begin to understand how they do not see they will be among the first casualties of anything remotely sporty going down.

We've had it really good up here for perhaps too long a time ribka, maybe in a nutshell that's it? I'm not sure anymore of the root cause.

It was however a good question that needed to be asked and answered.

All the best.

You are the proverbial boy seeking attention. Your headline "Canadian politicians celebrate church arson" is a misrepresentation of the facts. You are suggesting that Canadian politicians, as a group, are celebrating the burning of a church. You are a prime example of what is wrong in the world. You should be ashamed of your distortions, but sadly, you get off posting things like this.

This is the headline you should have posted. "Far-Left Canadian Provincial Lawmaker ‘in Solidarity’ with ‘Burn It All Down’ Activist as Church Burnings Continue"

This is hardly the same as 'Cdn politicians celebrate church arson'.

I was not going to respond to this because it feeds the attention you crave, but I felt that this needed to be said and corrected. Shame on you!

Frankly, I don't believe any news that seems to sensationalize any event.
I didn't read the link either.
As a Christian, I believe there is alot of evil around and it is prolific and growing.
The news media , left or right have their own agenda and should be viewed/ listened to with a personal filter on alert. They are just trying to sell stuff.
Imo, there is only one truth and you seldom see it factored into the conversation appropriately.
My little old opinion, folks

her twitter







These our your elected politicians celebrating churches being burned down by terrorists


put your head in the sand

It's probably best that you didn't read what was posted at the link. The Canada forum headline and the article are two different things completely.

Not surprised at all that you would support these actions

thank you for your first hand input.


Where's PM Captain sparkle socks on this?

It is still hot as heck down here. Getting some lightning this morning in the mountains.

Be safe

Reading can be hard.
I doubt there is a Country on this planet that can play dumb as well as Canada's lying Politicians and its fake media.

ribka;
Good afternoon, thanks for the reply and you're most welcome sir.

Since I do have a modicum of knowledge of where the local FN bands are at, I felt it wasn't a bad idea to at least relate what I know/knew.

The bands by the way do work together on some issues, but don't see eye to eye on others, so as I've stated on another forum discussing this, the chances of this being a non FN fire bug are just as good or in my view better than some organized push to burn down churches.

We unfortunately have seemingly more than our fair share of arsonists in the south valley and this might be some idiot using the situation in Kamloops to their advantage - or not - I have no clue there.

The current band leadership in the ones I've mentioned - as far as I am aware - have come out condemning the arson and were as mentioned, very balanced and professional in their statements.

Prince Shiny Pony in my opinion is an empty suit and will do whatever he's told and say the same. I don't know who controls the strings for him, but in my view he's not a strong leader with his own vision. Again I'm extremely biased on that opinion and will be the very first to admit it.

I am also jaded and cynical enough with the actions of the current Liberal, NDP, Green and BQ parties that I'd have to believe they'll do or say whatever they think will get them votes.

Sorry for being somewhat negative on the Federal level, we're suffering from a dearth of leadership on all fronts it seems.

All the best and hopefully the weather cools off for you.

You all do realize this is the Socialist/Communist at work to tear the Country apart so they can take control. Same thing they have done in many Countries around the world.

The title of this thread is click bait at its finest - purposely meant to shock and outrage and not at all close to the truth.

Surely you could have titled the thread better than that.

ribka;
Good afternoon to you sir, I hope it's a tad less smoky for you folks and that you're getting a break from the heat too.

On one of the news feeds today it would appear that the originator of the "Burn it all down" tweet - Harsha Walia - who was the head of the BC Civil Liberties Group, has resigned.

https://vancouversun.com/news/head-...up-resigns-following-controversial-tweet

In the posted link, there is the requisite mention of her being targeted by misogyny and racism because she's female and not white. They don't go into how inflammatory rhetoric from people in positions of influence may encourage dangerous behavior from unstable individuals, nonetheless the backlash was apparently enough to cause them to "accept her resignation"

There have been, I will note, churches targeted like the Vietnamese and Filipino Alliance Church in Calgary which was torched, which had less than nothing to do with residential schools in Canada. The denomination is a relatively new one and the members are for the most part relatively recent immigrants.

While on some levels I detest cancel culture, I must admit that I believe there must be consequences for our actions in life and as such wish Harsha Walia all the best in her new endeavors, hopefully which do not include having influence over or speaking on behalf of anything or anyone other than herself.

Anyways, perhaps the "silent majority" is starting to have enough?

We will see I suppose.

All the best to you this weekend.
