Oh, where to start with the silly shenanigans of NDP leader Rachel Notley and Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek..These two she-comrades are embarrassing themselves — and women who know how to conduct themselves as credible leaders — to the point where no one can take them seriously..Their perception, interpretation and recollection of events doesn’t seem to line up with, well, the actual events..Notley demanded that UCP MLA Jason Stephan (Red Deer-South) be kicked out of caucus for attending and speaking at Wednesday’s 1 Million March 4 Children..Gondek claimed to have a close encounter with protesters swarming her where the “level of hate was chilling.”.Aesop’s Fable about The Boy Who Cried Wolf comes to mind. He cried “Help me, wolf, wolf, wolf.”.But he knew there was no wolf there..Gondek cried “Swarm, swarm, swarm.”.But she knew there was no swarm there..Video evidence that surfaced proves it. Oops..Notley didn’t have a problem with her master federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh marching and chanting with counter protesters going after protesters fighting for parental rights in Ottawa..But Stephan showing up in Red Deer clearly stating he was there “in my capacity of husband and father of three children” warrants him being cancelled and his career destroyed. Nasty..READ MORE: Notley demands removal of MLA who spoke at Million march.“Shouldn’t be anywhere near the caucus,” Notley said at a Thursday press conference..“Long since should have been kicked out.”.Stephan’s removal should “have been the first thing the premier said this morning,” Notley righteously declared..Notley called Premier Danielle Smith’s failure to condemn and banish Stephan “one of the most profound failures in leadership that I’ve ever seen.”.Worse than her leadership that led to the NDP losing the May provincial election?.“And the fact that the premier is normalizing it by allowing one of her caucus members to participate in this is appalling,” she said..Yep, appalling. Not like Singh though!.Notley’s attempt to breath fire amounted to a couple of puffs of smoke that drifted into nowhere..Smith didn’t give Stephan the boot..“I appreciate caucus saying no to Rachel Notley’s call for my resignation. I think it’s ironic that Rachel would be calling for that because the content of my words was not hateful.”.Of course, Stephan didn’t oblige Notley’s ridiculous demand..“I think Rachel’s a spent force. She’s a career politician. She’s going to be gone way before I am. She will be resigning before I resign,” Stephan told the Western Standard..“I’m really glad that I participated and represented parents who are concerned about parental authority.”.Stephan’s made of steel when it comes to speaking out against injustice. He proved that when he stood up to former premier Jason Kenney..He also strikes one as a fellow who would blush if the word ‘darn’ slipped out of his mouth. A hater? Hardly..But Notley disingenuously linked Stephan to haters. She called for him to be ousted then cleverly shifted into how alleged hate for sexual minorities must be condemned. Did she hope people would make a connection? Sure, she did..Notley couldn’t directly accuse Stephan of spewing hate. Besides, there’s video somewhere out there of the brief speech he gave. So, here she was more clever than bumbling Gondek..What exactly did Stephan say in Red Deer? Basically, families should be protected from the intrusion of government..He warned that the “disintegration of families will bring about the disintegration of society.”.“We are here because parents do not like schools, boards or governments inserting themselves between our children and keeping secrets from us.”.“With children returning to school, Albertans want to be informed as to what schools are teaching.”.“Recently, New Brunswick changed their rules to require parental consent to have their children’s pronouns and names changed at school by teachers.”.“Trudeau accused New Brunswick in acting in a hateful way. Some in the media also. It is not honest to take words out of context, to label entire groups by the actions of a few, to attack and seek to cancel those who did not bow down to a preferred narrative.”.“While this event seeks to affirm the sacred relationship of parent and child, some will seek to frame this gathering in hateful way.”.Sure enough, Notley proved him right..“Political leaders should not seek to contend and divide. All are children of God and are of infinite worth. All can be valued and respected in seeking fairness for all.”.“Parents have sacred, moral duties to their children that pre-exist government. Parental rights do not exist because of government. Parental rights pre-exist government.”.To link Stephan with haters is both immoral and laughable..To dismiss his concerns is to dismiss the concerns of 78% (according to an Aug. 28 Angus Reid poll) of Canadians who, for example, favoured some sort of parental notification before schools referred to their children by different pronouns..Notley openly supports secrets the million-marchers mobilized to object to..“This is the mess of this radical ideology her party supported,” said Stephan..“The idea of keeping secrets from parents was a big issue in the 2019 election. At that time, she was proposing to keep secret from parents in terms of what clubs (gay/straight alliances) children may be involved with or their activities.”.“Parents at that time said no to that.”.And they are still saying no. Instead, of addressing that, the radical left which is losing control is lashing out like cornered rats..READ MORE: Tens of thousands of Albertans march for parental rights.“I have no hate in my heart. I have love for everyone. I seek that. I was there in good faith,” said Stephan..“I just don’t understand the hate narrative. I don’t like people acting in good faith being labelled as hateful people. We’ve seen too much of that.”.Smith said the Conservative caucus will soon meet to discuss the party’s position on these matters..But back to embellishment queen Gondek who said protesters — standing on the sidewalk — obstructed her vehicle..READ MORE: Gondek embellished about vehicle being swarmed.They gave her the thumbs down, rattled their signs and chanted “leave our kids alone.”.Million March organizer Mahmoud Mourra told them to leave her alone. They walked away..A good leader would have gotten out of the vehicle and spoken with people she was elected to represent..She put the pedal to the metal and drove off..End of story. Well, not exactly..Gondek posted on X “This morning the so-called ‘save the children’ protesters swarmed by vehicle. The level of hate was chilling.”.Her account of what happened is what’s chilling. No one swarmed her. For her sake, let’s hope she doesn’t see imaginary monsters in the closet too.
