My son and I gave two minutes of silence at 11:00. I remember all who lost their lives because of war.

/\ Very nice - and directed at veterans of all people: is it confirmed its actually her and not just some ungrateful venomous t*** screaming out a car window? You know if that was some white dude yelling obscenities at a group of immigrants his face and name would be plastered all over the Canadian online landscape by now....

[Mike K.]

She’s been confirmed to be a university lecturer. It gets worse, too. She doesn’t back down, she doubles down.

If we want to criminalize speech in Canada, I say let’s do it. But each side gets to pick one aspect of speech to criminalize and send people to the slammer for.

Fair?

[dasmo]

No, let's not criminalize speech. Karma does wonders. In this case it will be online karma first.

One can be anti war without being anti veteran. It isn't that hard to understand why.... 

[lanforod]

Wonder where her hate comes from. Did her family die at the hands of Canadian military or something?

[Mike K.]

No, let's not criminalize speech.

See! If the threat is eye for an eye, we’d view this issue through a different lens.

She should have every right to do what she did. And we should have every right to throw it back. Government has no moral authority when it comes to speech regardless of how much I dislike it.

Sometimes the only way to prevent a war, is to point warheads at each other.

Ours had a silent protestor, off to the side but standing right in front the cenotaph during the ceremony, holding some sign - "mourn the dead, fight like hell for the living".

There was talk of another, larger silent protest but it didn't seem to materialize.

I wonder what York is paying her while she works on her PhD.  100k pa?

[dasmo]

F*ck her!

[Matt R.]

Nobody bothered her, some people were irritated, disturbed etc. My partner was there with Guides and some or the littles were a bit spooked I guess.

[dasmo]

I meant the lady yelling at the vets.
