After two days of silence and criticism from other political leaders, Premier Jason Kenney on Monday condemned the racist elements and symbolism of a weekend torch rally at the Alberta legislature.
In a written statement sent at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Kenney acknowledged the source of the torch imagery used in posters promoting the event, and the affiliations of some people involved. I understand that publicity for this event incorporated an image apparently taken from the notorious 2017 Charlottesville torch rally, which was an explicitly white supremacist event, Kenney said in a statement issued through his press secretary.
‘Let’s educate your dumbassers.’
Patriot: 1/ a person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors. A ‘true patriot’.
Adding, ‘Last I knew a person could be any color, therefore anyone who loves their country ad that is prepared to defend it against all odds is a Patriot. Whatever color you bloody well are, you are a Patriot if you fall under the mindset.’ Adding,
‘White supremacy is not the definition of being a Patriot.’
