No fan of Kenney, but I really wonder what his approach here would have been in comparison to Smith. Would it have been similar or the same as Smith currently, or more similar to Doug Ford’s approach?

Personally as someone who is fairly left-wing, I feel like that religious tolerance is acceptable since around the world we see what religious intolerance tends to lead to. With Islam, it just so happens that a lot of countries that are in crisis currently are countries where there are significant Muslim populations, and that fact can be owed heavily to U.S. interventionism among other things of course.
I grew up in an area where we had a heavy Muslim population. I’m non-religious myself, my direct family is non-religious as well, but I did also have a spot in my teen years where I was very much Christian. While I do have my thoughts on religion and it’s place (or rather, lack of place in my personal opinion) in the world, I think forcing people to comply with being secular is just as bad as forcing secular people to be religious.
The path forward I believe is engagement between religions, as well as between the religious and non-religious. Even though I consider myself agnostic, I did go to an Iftar dinner at a synagogue the other day as a special interfaith dialogue event, and it went great. Allowing ourselves to learn about others also allows others to learn about us, to which people can be swayed towards secularism if we respectively bring up why we believe what we do and what we perceive as flaws in religions that we learn about.

Not Conservative myself, but if there’s like a petition or something I’m more than willing to cross lines in supporting this call since this is just vile.
And the 70% who don’t are doing… what exactly?

But when Ottawa insiders shut me out of the Conservative nomination, I knew I couldn’t stay silent. I’m running to give this community back its voice,”
Bro calls out insiders after wanting to become an insider, more at 11.
I’d have a lot more respect if he ran as an independent from the get-go regardless of his politics, but nope. Surprise! The party that wants to backstab it’s constituents wants to backstab people who fall slightly out of line.

Why is it that the only freedom they ever seem to focus on is the freedom to isolate and not the freedom to participate?
It’s not federated by any means, but if you want to replace FANDOM wikis with other equivalents, Indie Wiki Buddy is a great extension to have on hand.
There’s options to remove FANDOM from search results in favour of other options, and they also allow you to redirect to the Breezewiki frontend for FANDOM to get rid of all those shitty ads and UI, which is legal considering the contents of FANDOM pages are still under the Commons.
Firefox has been doing a lot of caving in as of late. Librewolf is a solid browser, just gotta adjust to setting a whitelist for cookies but it’s smooth sailing after the fact.
