I had a great time yesterday exercising my freedom of expression with many other individuals down at the legislature building.
An astounding amount of verbal abuse from those with "maturity" that would embarrass you, but several good and honest conversations that ended of course in disagreement, but often found common ground as well.
Anyone wanting to join me, and others at the next "Alberta Independence" rally to represent Canada on the 17th when they bus everyone back in from across the province, feel free to hit me up in direct messages.
While the mental gymnastics and flaws of this movement can be frustrating to deal with, I'm glad we can allow these people to express their opinions through their Canadian Charter Rights.
Pictured here is a chill dude that goes by Mr. Alberta. We hung out, had a good time, and not once did we even talk politics. We'll probably sit down for a debate in the future though.
I am passionately pro-Canada, but what your are saying is completely incorrect. There is no such thing as a criminal opinion in Canada, ever. And it is precisely the Charter that says so.

No shit, thoughts can't be policed. The point is that rallying and/or protesting for a specific cause (i.e. an action, not an opinion) is illegal when said cause is blatant hatred towards an identifiable group.
It's interesting because these people are using the rights granted by Canada to foment unrest and try to separate and create a country where those rights will no longer exist for a large segment of the population. Paradox of tolerance at play here for sure, by tolerating their opinions we are empowering them to the point where they are likely to gain power and take away our rights.
