The security service for the Canadian Senate has apologized to an energy industry executive who complained in an open letter about being forced to turn his T-shirt inside out during a tour of the building after a security official said it might offend some people.
The Calgary Herald reports William Lacey, chief financial officer of Steelhead Petroleum, was on tour of the Senate with his family wearing a T-shirt that said I love Canadian oil on the front and The world needs more Canadian energy on the back.
According to Lacey, The guard looked at me and he said, Sir, Im gonna have to ask you to remove your shirt because some people may be offended by the message, after which he invited Lacey to either turn the T-shirt inside out or leave the premises.

Is there a provision in the Canadian Constitution that says that Canadians have a right to not be offended?...............
Haha. Gee, freckles offend me. Let’s make people with freckles wear makeup to cover them or ask them to leave the building.
WE ALL APOLIGIZE!
Yeah. it’s the first sentence. It trumps everything else.
Well, that offends me.......................
Should have told the prick to turn his own f——— shirt inside out.
“....The security service for the Canadian Senate ...”
What kind of sub-walmart greeter type morons do they hire for that job?
In Kanadahar (Orwellandia?), we are all treated equally, just that some are treated more equally than others.
Liberal ones....................
I am certain that this will offend several of you, but I don’t care. I never wear screen printed t-shirts or adjustable baseball caps with logos or slogans emblazoned on them. Never.
I am that old.
A Nothingburger.
This is to be expected.
Its the New Normal.
