Chilliwack Progress editor fired after anti-Christian remarks
Chilliwack's oldest community newspaper has parted ways with its editor, Paul Henderson, after he posted a series of tweets mocking Christian prayer requests for a toddler fighting for his life after nearly drowning in Cultus Lake.
Now, this is going to be potentially a really unpopular opinion given the nature of what the guy did, but I'm going to have to come down on the side of free speech here. I don't think that anyone deserves to be fired for posting an opinion and honestly this doesn't even seem that outrageous he just comes across as a typical cringe Atheist+ type to me and I'm not religious.
Mind you I don't have context here and I'm out of the loop, but this is the sort of thing that does actually make the right look bad even to people who are fair about them. Unless you're going to tell me the guy started stalking the child's family and posting horrible shit about the child then yeah that would make sense but the worse crime he's committed here is being a typical cringe leftist.
Disclaimer: I'm not Canadian.
The context is that Christian churches have been getting burned down at an incredible rate in Canada thanks to hoaxes about "muh idengenious POCs getting genocide by evil mayo monkey Christians" while the Canadian government largely turns a blind eye. The discussion needs to be about the over arching unpersoning of Canadian Christians instead of highfalutin abstractions.
So people are not allowed to say that evil mayo monkey Christians genocided the POC any more?
