RE: Poilievre plays politics with bigotry.  By Emma Tietel The Hamilton Spectator 15 July 23

Opinion writer Emma Teitel is another political Leftist who doesn’t believe in representative democracy.  Anyone whose opinions she finds abhorrent ought to be shunned by politicians; and those who don’t shun them are, by association, guilty of being abhorrent also.

We had an example of this during the Calgary Stampede.  Both Pierre Poilievre and Premier Danielle Smith was photographed posing with, as they were with many others, a fellow whose T-shirt proclaimed that he was a proud heterosexual.

The political Left went crazy over their alleged insensitivity and this indelible proof of their hatefulness, having just concluded the seven weeks of gay pride month.

In a representative democracy, a politician has to be able to talk to anyone about anything, including the unclean about their uncleanliness.  The political Left think that only those who, in their objective opinion, are politically clean are even allowed to be photographed with a politician.  They don’t believe in representative democracy.
