About those Calgary students

February 3, 2009 by Brigitte Pellerin 2 Comments

I admit it’s not a story I’ve been following very closely – Andrea is much more on the case. But since she’s away, I thought I’d draw your attention to a rather unsettling development. Is it really necessary to use police forces to try and silence people whose opinions you do not share? I think most obviously no. I don’t like those Genocide Awareness Campaigns, because I find them unnecessarily upsetting (I realize that’s the point; I just don’t think it’s necessary to force people to be confronted with those images – I say challenge people to come see them instead). But they are not, and should not be, considered criminal. That’s nuts.

Here’s a longer post on the topic by Ezra Levant, who is quite properly ashamed of his alma mater.

    I don’t think they actually work very well, either. They go so over the top, most pro-choicers would just dismiss them.

    The only people I imagine being convinced by this like of thinking would be members of racial minorities, some of whome are quite eager to buy into any type of story about how they are being oppressed. Other than that… it’s just not going to work.

    Stick to the shock-pics and cuted-up 3d ultrasounds. I still consider those to be underhanded emotional manipulation, but at least they are able to convince people.
