โ€œWe want to parent our kids until they're 18 and ready to make decisions by themselves. Whatever decision they make later, that's a decision as an adult."

The harder you parent, the stronger your children push back.

For a group of concerned parents, they seem to know less than me, and I've only been parenting for about 6 years.

Parental influence on behaviour begins dropping around the age of 6. At that point external influences, like friends at school, stat becoming more important. By adolescence it has dropped to around 50%. By 20 it is 0%. When you let a kid breathe and make mistakes, they will listen to you without needing overbearing control...

Clearly, this whole thing stinks of money. They are buying targeted ads on FB and adding a layer of embarrassment that will see Canada mocked and ridiculed. This is a hate group.

This is clearly a propaganda piece. Or, if we're being kind, biased reporting. There was absolutely no mention of counter protests or differing opinions. Not surprised the comments in such a space are vitriolic.

Still, I appreciate this being posted. We need time to organize counter protests. I'm sure less-biased sources will pick this up soon, if it gains traction.

For sure, if anything articles like these make me want to get out and counter protest even more.

Western Standard is not a great paper. It's run by Derek Fildebrandt who was at one point leader of the (now dissolved) Freedom Conservative Party of Alberta.

You bet your ass it's a propaganda piece.

I just assume most comment sections is foreign propaganda

It's the western standard. All they do is propaganda and biased reporting.

That's their entire reason for existing.

At least the comments pointed out the counter protests were paid for by ANTIFA

Strange, I didn't get an antifa cheque...
