    1. Placing renewable energy projects on their own land (Alberta)

    Not on public land. On private land. But only when it would block the pristine views of the wildfires that are getting worse every year for some reason.

    This is fantastic, another great Beaverton article.

    1. Learning about ways to prevent being sexually assaulted (Saskatchewan)

    Parents can still arrange for their children to take these sexual education courses privately, so it’s only the vulnerable, less protected children who will be left without the knowledge!

      Do people really need a paid, formal education to protect themselves from sexual assault?

      In my experience, the victims of sexual assault tend to put their trust in the wrong people. It would be better to raise children to pick their friends more wisely.

          Yes. And they’re almost always people who have poor character judgement because their parents never taught them.

        What on earth do you think those lessons are for? It almost certainly covers spotting signs from people you trust that might lead to abuse, and protecting yourself by removing yourself from the situation if you can.

          So… it’s only for a specific group of people who don’t have parents to teach them right from wrong?

        This sentence is more horrifying the longer I look at it.

              WTF? Clearly I wasn’t referring to those cases. Did you honestly think I was? Or are you pretending to misunderstand an argument because you don’t like it? Fess up.

              It would be better to raise children to pick their friends more wisely.

              Just cherrypicking what you want to hear, eh? It’s okay. I see it all the time and don’t expect more from you people at this point.

              Goodbye.

                Who are ‘you people’ in this scenario? People saying don’t victim blame people who were sexually assault?

    Wearing a visible religious symbol while working for the public sector

    This has nothing to do with conservatism, it’s about secularism, go to Turkey you’ll see the same thing, France too, it does not come from conservatives.

      Secularism isn’t about hiding religion, it’s about making it not matter.

      And you’ll recall that the laws in Quebec around this carved out exemptions for certain religious and cultural signifiers.

      That isn’t secularism.

      In my country we allow everyone to wear whatever religious symbols, clothes, knives in public service workplaces since those things don’t affect how they do their work, though telling them they may not have those things will push them out of the jobs, or make them upset and less productive if they don’t leave

      I see bans on religious symbols in the workplace as an attempt to reduce the number of people who value those symbols in those workplaces

      No, you see, it either comes from a liberal or a conservative.

      There is no in-between, outliers, or overlap.
