Freedom Report from Victoria by Gordon Watson

Here in Victoria, the VIVA group is having a bit of fun in the local election andthe usual suspects are crawling out of the woodwork polluting the dialogue, slagging us.

On CHEK tv news Tuesday night at 5 pm,  there was a segment, a few minutes of pretty thin gruel, attempting to make VIVA guilty by association with the People’s Party of Canada. 

The thing opens with the reporter saying “the Canadian anti-hate network … “

I have to wonder at the propriety of,   one of the many pretend non-governmental agencies, which is on the dole from public accounts of Canada — the Canadian Anti-hate Network —  pulling strings in the media,  attempting to influence voters at the city/ municipal/ school board level.

I count it a small yet important victory —  the mighty mighty Canadian Anti-hate Network, headed by longtime militant anti-free speech warriorsBernie Farber ad Richard Warman, expending its time and talents on little old us, ‘way out here on the edge of the continent.  That tells me that the NDP farm team is worried by our candidates bluntly talking about the SOGI program in the schools.  We know that has hit a nerve. 

VIVA is the Vancouver Island Voters Association.  A newly-created non-profit society, the purpose of which is to educate voters and promote participation in local politics
Eight  candidates standing  for council and also School Board in Victoria, are on the ballot officially endorsed by  VIVA   for the Oct 15th election

Maxime Bernier will be here with Brian Peckford at a dinner on October 8th in Victoria
