@Peady They don’t like my system so we avoid each other.6

@Hfx_Coffee Ha ha! You must have a lot of unstopped doors and also money to burn! 🤣 They’re too $$ to just sit pretty.

Random Friday question! What is your favourite thing for which to use red bell peppers?

@MerylACook @Kerra_Aucoin @PeopleCan It’s fantastic

@Kerra_Aucoin @Hfx_Coffee @PeopleCan I've never been there.

My current view 🏖 ❤️ Can you guess which #Beach we are at?

@Kerra_Aucoin @PeopleCan @MerylACook Rissers?

@PeopleCan @MerylACook Nope guess again!

Got this mug and the delicious Cabin Coffee it’s holding at the souvenir tent @hfxjazzfest

@jamescdwyer I have it, and I’ve been called a couple times

@happystash @sarahwhitehfx I've wondered this for years.

@sarahwhitehfx I really wonder wtf CBC is doing most days now.

@oneredcatmedia I'd say if your free speech incites violence against a group of people, that is not free speech. As there was likely some of this type of speech at the NCA rally, then yes they should be banned.

@happystash Thanks for helping me exercise my debate and discussion muscles. I hope you have the chance to enjoy this beautiful Monday.

Let's check in to see if the media learned anything after the whole portraying Serena Williams as overtly angry despite it matching the general behaviour of many professional athletes that goes uncommented on. Spoiler: They did not.

@happystash @achamius @HfxRegPolice And I’m grateful for that privilege.

@Hfx_Coffee @achamius @HfxRegPolice Also...ignoring racist isn't showing opposition to their ideology. It shows you have enough privilege in your life to be have the option to ignore them. Thassit.

Police respond to planned rally/protest.

@happystash @achamius @HfxRegPolice The only point I’m trying to make is people shouldn’t be denied the right to speak because that can lead to places where what we now consider legitimate ideas can be banned

@Hfx_Coffee @achamius @HfxRegPolice Sure you can, literally no one said you couldn't. Your comment just seems kind of pointless I guess.

@happystash @achamius @HfxRegPolice I’m not allowed to reconsider my position? I choose to ignore these people and you choose to protest them. Both actions demonstrate opposition to their ideology

@Hfx_Coffee @achamius @HfxRegPolice So again, not sure your point here? No one said we could eliminate evil and you also literally said we should ignore them and are now back tracking.

@happystash @achamius @HfxRegPolice It is a free speech issue, because where does that end? ‘I like the Maple Leafs but society says I have to like the Canadiens therefore my right to publicly cheer for my team should be banned?’

@Hfx_Coffee @achamius @HfxRegPolice So you started this if "just ignore them" and are now at "we should always protest them" - which is it? This is not a free speech issue, don't pretend it is.

@happystash @achamius @HfxRegPolice Both ignoring AND protesting have their place.

@happystash @achamius @HfxRegPolice I didn’t say we shouldn’t fight back (quite the opposite, these people need to be opposed soundly) I just think it’s naive to think we can eliminate evil, which has existed since the beginning of time.

@Hfx_Coffee @achamius @HfxRegPolice I guess it just doesn't seem like you have much of a point/areadding anything to the convo around the growing threat of white nationalism in Canada. Please reconsider your "what can we do about hate" attitude, because we need to be clear that we can & should always fight back.

@happystash @achamius @HfxRegPolice I oppose the idea that people whose ideas we don’t like should be banned from expressing them, because the same principle that bans that person from speaking could be used in ways we can’t fathom yet.

@Hfx_Coffee @achamius @HfxRegPolice A) White nationalists do not have the right to be heard AND history has shown that ignoring them is a poor choice. B) "Evil has always exists" is a weak cop out to do nothing about the very literal and easy to stand up against people who showed here this weekend.

@happystash @achamius @HfxRegPolice I think groups like this need to be protested in every way imaginable. That doesn’t mean i want my fellow Canadians right to be wrong suppressed, because where does that end?

@happystash @achamius @HfxRegPolice EDIT: I’m NOT standing up for this group or any like it.
