Having spent time around Red Deer, it really doesn’t surprise me. Aside from a really good donut place (that isn’t even technically in the city), Red Deer doesn’t really have any redeeming or endearing qualities that make it the kind of place people live happily ever after.
It’s generally known as the place you stop and pee when going between Calgary and Edmonton and maybe grab a donut. Aside from that it tends to be a black hole of conspiracy theories, far right rallies and people who just live there because of work and can’t wait to leave.
2SLGBTQ1A+ community … all the respect for peoples rights, but this is just getting crazy and it is inviting ridicule. sorry, just saying. all good, keep on keeping on.
On or about Aug. 27, the trustee posted a meme on her personal Facebook page of two side-by-side photographs. One was a historic photo of young Nazi supporters and the other was a contemporary image of young people holding a rainbow Pride flag. Beneath were the words **“brainwashing is brainwashing.”**
LaGrange defended the post by saying the meme was not about the 2SLGBTQ1A+ community, but rather a criticism of indoctrination. **She told the board that it does not compare the two groups**, but is about an objectionable ideology and protecting kids.
Bullshit. “Brainwashing is brainwashing” is literally equivocating the two pictures as the same.
She said the “Holy Spirit” told her to “Go for it” when she considered posting it in the first place. Lady, the voice in your head is YOU, it’s all YOU.

So, this “religious” person cannot even take responsibility for her own actions. Instead, she blames “god”, who is supposedly infallible.

Hey, don’t blame this on Divine! She died in 1988.

No surprise, they people they target are always bad, they are always good, unless they are bad then the “devil” made them do it. blah blah blah.

I don’t think typically it’s the holy spirit that’s the one saying “go on, do it”…
