Canada Bans Public Employees from Using 'Let's Go Brandon'
PJ Media ^ | 10/18/2021 | Stephen Green

Posted on 10/18/2021 8:53:19 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

“Let’s Go Brandon” has made its way north of the border, where Canadian officials have banned its use by government workers.

In a notice written late last week, a [REDACTED] official (see photo below) warned that “the use of the wording ‘Let’s Go Brandon” and any variation thereof under any circumstances is banned.”

“Violation of this policy,” the notice concludes, “will be grounds for immediate dismissal without recourse or labour union representation.”

The letter was photographed — with privacy-protecting redactions — and posted on several social media accounts.

Canadians might prefer to know who would be foolish enough to sign their own name to such a liberty-snuffing document, while they gather together their tar and feathers.

Let's Go Brandon Banned

If you know anything about trying to get a government worker fired, you know how difficult or even impossible that can be, no matter how inept or unproductive they might be — in the U.S. or in Canada.

But now, our Canadian friends have declared that a single utterance of “Let’s Go Brandon” is enough to get you fired at once and without recourse.

You might wonder why the Canadian bureaucracy would go to such lengths to protect America’s alleged president, Joe Biden.

But “Let’s Go Brandon” has very quickly morphed into something much greater than showing defiance for the doddering old man quickly shaping up to be America’s worst president since Woodrow Wilson.

“Let’s Go Brandon” is the chant for anyone sick of unconstitutional mandates, of petty authoritarianism, of bossy Karens (both in and out of government), of a chaotic border, of rising inflation, of official denials of rising inflation, of (perhaps most of all) governments everywhere that seem content to let things get worse because they don’t suffer the consequences of their own ineptitude.

They were instructed to say instead: “Lets go Brandon, eh?”

More than 70 Aboriginal languages are being spoken across Canada.

Ref: https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2016/as-sa/98-200-x/2016022/98-200-x2016022-eng.cfm

Failure to provide this memo in all seventy languages is blatant racism—the writers and distributors of this memo need to be fired immediately without recourse!

Canadians were use “Let’s Go Brandon” on official government emails? Cool. Too bad someone caught on and complained (I mean whined)...

“Good to know that all statutory and contractual protections for employees can be cancelled “without recourse” by a memo.”

Good catch. The whole hype on what they are trying to do can’t “fly” in the US as we have a Constitution which guarantees free speech (under most situations). Canada has been spiraling into a socialist country for many years. Many countries operate like this. All socialist ones do. Won’t be long until threat of job loss graduates to public hangings. I don’t understand why they don’t just use public beheadings. Works for third world countries that beat their wives or celebrate Ramadan to punish themselves for around 30 days when they can’t eat or drink during the day. Maybe they should consider flag day. Les masochistic.

But what if someone is actually named Brandon, and you want to go to lunch with him or something and he's running late?

Will "Let's go Brandon" be a fireable offense?

Well, call the nearest Canadian embassy to verify.

If they deny it, that is your confirmation that it is real!

I wonder if Canada banned saying anything bad about Trump.

Hmmmmm. Thinking they didn’t.

I need to point out that this letter specifically relates to government written correspondences. It does not reference using “Brandon” in verbal conversations. I doubt that any government would allow its employees to make a written correspondence that denigrates a foreign government official, especially the leader of another country.

Don’t get me wrong. I despise Biden but this article is click bait at its best.

Here in the US, your employer can still tell you what to do at work - that’s what he’s paying you for. You don’t like it, you can get another job.

I know, right?

It may as well say, “This memo unilaterally voids all Union Contracts and Labor Agreements. Because we say it does.”

When “the powers that be” attempt to ban a word or phrase it gets used more often.

This is just plain silly and childish. Don’t these assholes have something better to do than censorship.

Here in the USA you can also get fired for saying just about anything outside of work too.

The exception would be union contracts, of course. Then the contract limits what the employer does.

You are prohibited from using innocuous words because they are a euphemism for a sentiment we don’t like.
Your organic slogan is too effective.
We can’t think of a way to counter-act it.
So you will be fired for expressing dissatisfaction with official policy, no matter how it is phrased.
This is the left, people. They will destroy you for expressing political speech. They are not interested in your consent, only your obedience, slave.
