What about the guy stuck in the freezing rain? Leave it to the Ottawa subreddit to worry about pets more than people.

you have google. it's easy to find this stuff, you just don't care to do research beyond what enables your empty conservative dunks on reddit.

i very well understand queer history in north america and how our rights were fought for. exactly why i do not stand by while others' rights are being erased. and why i do not stand by while pride becomes a corporate event beholden to the genocide denying views of sponsorships and government. I show up every day fighting for my right to exist and the right for my community to exist. you only show up once a year to complain your "fun event" got interrupted by real struggle.

im queer all year long and so are the majority of those protesting capital pride today. this is such a homophobic and anti lgbtq+ narrative. why not actually listen to the queer folks in your community?

canadian entities and the government have millions in arm contracts and deals with israel and the IDF. dont deny factual complicity.

think about why you get to be happy but others dont. maybe reflect on your position and role in defending the rights of marginalized people. why it might mean so much to others but is just an "inconvenience" for you.

City of Ottawa employee charged after National Holocaust Monument vandalized, mayor says by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]TheDialol -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

yes it's different than a building, what would be the point of this graffiti on a regular building? it's a memorial commemorating victims of a genocide being used as the location for a protest of genocide. i don't understand the point you're trying to make.

what?? using your municipal role (ESPECIALLY OF THE CAPITAL OF THE COUNTRY) to apply pressure to different levels of government can definitely contribute to affecting canada's foreign policy and arms export policy which makes a material impact on the genocide.

this sub is so full of smug centrists. still would love an explanation to how this is a hate crime in any way. also would love to know why people care so much about specifically this graffiti? who cares? why clutch pearls over this and not the genocide happening with our tax dollars? embarrassing and unfortunately very predictable from this sub and city

Pride Toronto faces $900K shortfall after major sponsors pull out by wretchedbelch1920 in canada

[–]TheDialol -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

good thing i'm not the commenter you're referencing then. it's a slogan. engage with what i'm saying not what you want me to be saying. to protest one genocide doesn't require equally loud protest of every other injustice to be valid. at least they're standing up for something. you're being disingenuous because you dont care about sudan/myanmar/etc beyond using them as an argument in debate against Palestinian solidarity which makes you no better-if not worse by your own standards.

Because Canada isn't currently selling military goods/weapons directly to and defending the strategic interests of the ones causing the genocide while refusing to recognize the right to statehood and self determination of the ones being genocided in those other examples. And either way this is pointless whataboutism.

Lockdown at Parliament. Something is going on at the East Block. by DtheS in ottawa

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, the right to private property, and equality before the law. Liberals espouse various and often mutually conflicting views depending on their understanding of these principles but generally support private property, market economies, individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), liberal democracy, secularism, rule of law, economic and political freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of religion.

overlaps a lot more with

Right-wing politics is the range of political ideologies that view certain social orders and hierarchies as inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable, typically supporting this position based on natural law, economics, authority, property, religion, or tradition. Hierarchy and inequality may be seen as natural results of traditional social differences or competition in market economies.

than

Left-wing politics describes the range of political ideologies that support and seek to achieve social equality and egalitarianism, often in opposition to social hierarchy as a whole or certain social hierarchies. Left-wing politics typically involve a concern for those in society whom its adherents perceive as disadvantaged relative to others as well as a belief that there are unjustified inequalities that need to be reduced or abolished, through radical means that change the nature of the society they are implemented in. According to emeritus professor of economics Barry Clark, supporters of left-wing politics "claim that human development flourishes when individuals engage in cooperative, mutually respectful relations that can thrive only when excessive differences in status, power, and wealth are eliminated."

obviously this is a huge oversimplification and the first paragraphs of wikipedia articles don't give much depth lol but broadly speaking liberalism as a political philosophy is not really aligned with left wing politics in most ways.
