CBC News reports Borderland Pride tasked Emo with the job of declaring June as Pride Month and ordered municipal authorities to fly an “LGBTQ2 rainbow flag for a week of your choosing” despite the fact they lack an official flagpole.

Borderland Pride also asked Emo to “email us a copy of your proclamation or resolution once adopted and signed.”

The Emo township refused. That rejection sparked a years-long arbitration process in which the tribunal ruled against the township, the National Post reports.

The tribunal ruled Borderland Pride will be awarded $15,000, with $10,000 coming from the township itself and the other $5,000 coming from Emo mayor Harold McQuaker.

McQuaker and Emo’s chief administrative officer were also ordered to complete an online course known as “Human Rights 101” and “provide proof of completion … to Borderland Pride within 30 days” as recompense for their disobedience.

The Post report notes the course being undertaken as punishment is offered by the Ontario Human Rights Commission.

Their latest educational edition opens with an animated video telling participants the Human Rights Code “is not meant to punish.”

Students on the reeducation course are also sternly told “it doesn’t matter if you didn’t intend or mean to discriminate … it’s the impact on the person that matters” because support for “2SLGBTQA plus people” is part of the services required of local government.

Human Rights Code “is not meant to punish.”

Only to enslave and pervert.

If I was the mayor I would stuff the rainbow flag down the back of my pants, wipe my arse with it, and say that it was missing the color brown, and the. run it up the flagpole.

Easy-peasy:

What was the point of the West’s hot and cold wars against totalitarianism if the West goes ahead and embraces totalitarian methods and mindsets?

I think we're all a little sad at the current state of things.

Fly a big penis balloon! Or,

Instead of a flag fly a picture of a pee-pee in a poo-poo.

ELLIMINATE ALL PERVERT PRIDE DAYS!

“it doesn’t matter if you didn’t intend or mean to discriminate … it’s the impact on the person that matters”

...but if you’re a Christian and this whole narrative deliberately discriminates against your beliefs...we don’t give a sh*t.

Borderland Pride also asked Emo to “email us a copy of your proclamation or resolution once adopted and signed.”

Unbelievable. Even if the proclamation had ordered the exact opposite, had ordered the town to issue a proclamation condemning "Pride" it would be tyranny. Any and all efforts to enforce allegiance to any doctrine, fad, or ideology is tyrannical.

Woe, Canada.

I don’t see why these knuckleheads worry about one tiny town, unless they’re complete Communists.

> 2SLGBTQA plus people <

Every time I look they’ve added another letter to that acronym.

Why not just call them the “ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z people” and be done with it?

Resorting to punishing anyone that doesn’t bow to the false God of DEI ks a sure sign of tyranical oppression!

Apparently it is now agaisnt the law not to endorse a filthy immoral lifestyle in Canada,
