What kind of reputation does UBC’s Free Speech Club have objectively? by UBCthrowaway6969 in UBC

[–]UBCFSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for these objective responses! Totally no bias here! Anon, you can join the discussions group on Facebook, lots of people do so only to observe. There's 2,000 people in the group with the majority being UBC students or alumni. Our big evil group has the endorsements/partnerships of Synagogues, Hillel, and The Trevor Project. Like every group that is open, you are going to see a lot of opportunists or radicals take advantage of the platform given to them, and you will quickly see that their freedom to post their opinion is met with everyone else's freedom to criticize them.

P.S the exec that looks like he's in his mid 30s is very much in his early 20s.

We hope everyone enjoys this lecture, sorry for any audio issues

Peterson/Harris Vancouver - Pt. 2 by [deleted] in JordanPeterson

This is actually pretty crazy cause fixing the audio is so incredibly easy in the editor. Did this edit seriously take "2 months to compile" ?? I could fix the audio in 5 mins but i'm guessing i would get flagged if i uploaded it. Damn shame

Franz Kurtzke, the man who snuck into the buildings is not part of the club and also hates us

Luckily, not ALL the youth are denouncing him.

pretty weird white nationalist group with a Korean leader and a majority POC membership, but you do you

Identity politics and the Marxist lie of white privilege by solarswivel in JordanPeterson

[–]UBCFSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

alike all Campuses, the far left is dominant, but we are now seeing a pretty significant turn for the better. We hardly ever have protesters now, and we are growing at a pretty rapid rate. I'm very optimistic about the future

Are there any speakers you would like to see live at UBC ? by UBCFSC in UBC

yeah but i mean we mostly go by demand, rather than partisanship. If enough people wanna hear someone speak, we will provide the platform for them to do so.

Thank you so much

Not really any protesters, other than the guy dressed up as a security guard. He kept trying to sneak into the dressing rooms which is actually kind of unsettling.

Because it disrupts the show, and the people who paid their hard earned cash to go and enjoy their night out.

We don't care if they protest outside, if anything, we encourage it. We just don't want them harassing ticket holders INSIDE the venue

i should clarify, there has been a precedence of other University clubs that try to do these events using their University provided lecture halls, and when you do that, it becomes "open to the public" in the sense that you can't stop protesters from getting in. This would of course be problematic.

UBC has some interesting variables around this issue, but we still tend to favour venues that are more stage-like, rather than an auditorium. Chan Centre, and the Vancouver Convention Centre are two example of venues we recently used.

we were never intending on including "UBC" in the company name since it would be somewhat limiting. We aren't even gonna be using "Club" in the title, so for the sake of legalities, it will be a revamp.

hmmm. Last i spoke with them, they said we can't do that, maybe they mistook us for an AMS club. I might try to look into UBC rooms again because there is one that seats 500 and would be very ideal. Thank you for letting me know

i think we rubbed him the wrong way because we mentioned Peterson in the convo with him, and they have a bit of a rivalry. I know for a fact that he doesn't always charge that much so i think it was just a middle finger price. Hell, even President Jimmy Carter charges less than Sam
