If you stand against bigotry like incel culture (anti-feminists), homophobia, transphobia, white supremacy, religious xenophobia, and ableism, and want to protect our marginalized communities from this hate, please consider signing this petition to cancel Jordan Peterson's May 26th event at Prospera Place!
https://www.change.org/cancel-jordan-peterson-kelowna
(1,300 signatures and $435 USD in advertising donations at time of writing)
Mr. Peterson's messages inspire and apologize for mass shooters. Prospera Place is a civic venue that the mayor, Tom Dyas, has the power to intervene with. By cancelling this event, we can help to stop this shameful, hateful stain from spreading further in our community and protect our communities' marginalized people like 2SLGBTQIA+ people, who suffer due to Mr. Peterson's teachings of oppression. This man even apologizes for fascist Nazi policies like eugenics, and he has an extensive history of directly racist, xenophobic, misogynist statements on social media (see references in the petition).
Here's an example of how Jordan Peterson justifies his bigotry with the clever spinning of self-help principles.
Quote: "It's in responsibility that most people find the meaning that sustains them through life. It's not in happiness. It's not in impulsive pleasure."
In 2018, when self-described “incel”, Alek Minassian, who killed 11 people when he plowed a rented van into a busy Toronto sidewalk, was sentenced to life in prison. Jordan Peterson said in response "He was angry at God because women were rejecting him,”. “The cure for that is enforced monogamy. That’s actually why monogamy emerges.”
Jordan Peterson is an incompetent psychologist who maliciously uses self-help principles like the one quoted above to justify the incel movement and this concept of enforced monogamy, which encourages the superiority of men over women and insinuates that women should be treated as sexual objects instead of equals. https://www.macleans.ca/opinion/the-context-of-jordan-petersons-thoughts-on-enforced-monogamy/
Two separate protests are being organized, and your support in any way is very much appreciated:

Hey everyone! I saw a dog walking around the Winfield area by the Ex Nihilo Winery around 12:30-1pmish. It had a harness on for walking but the tags had fallen off its collar. I forgot to get a picture of him/her but they were very friendly and sweet (they came straight to me and licked me). They seemed fed and well trained so I knew this dog had probably only gotten out today (Jan 4th, 2019).
The dog has a golden light tan coat, with little white speckles on his/her nose and light brown/hazel eyes. They were a medium height, kind of golden retriever-like but that didn’t seem like their breed. They seemed like a healthy weight, not overweight or underweight at all.
After discovering the dog had no tags, I left it to continue walking down the road as it seemed like it knew where it was going. If I see it there again when I come back down the road later I might call SPCA or try to help it find its owners. I would take it in but I have 3 small senior dogs with health problems and I’m not entirely sure how they’d react to another dog of a different breed.
Thought I’d post this here in case anyone noticed their dog missing!
