In a campaign where one of the most unpopular governments in modern history is running for re-election, the Manitoba Liberals under leader Rana Bokhari are sure trying their darnedest to fail at capitalizing on that fact. I have been involved and followed campaigns for eight years now, so I feel

Yurt. If there was ever a sign of how little hope Greg Selinger has of winning the ongoing election in Manitoba, it was with yesterday’s key announcement of expanding yurt (and wi-fi) coverage across provincial parks. Not that yurts aren’t cool and all, and tourism isn’t important, but in an

I won’t go in-depth into the budget, I’m not necessarily a numbers guy but I am definitely someone interested in where the government’s priorities lay.The Liberals definitely kept their promise to increase the deficit, and then some – $29.4-billion, wi…

If you celebrate or commit to Earth Hour, dimming/turning off your lights and parring back your electricity use between 8:30pm and 9:30pm, good for you – participation is fun. However, let’s be honest that Earth Hour is just about the minimal you can do, and most don’t even do it.

To all progressive, feminist, anti-fascist and otherwise generally sane people who, for some reason, like to feed the trolls:
Stop feeding the trolls. Seriously.
First off, really? What possibly compels you to do such a thing? No winning argument ends with a bottle of urine dumped on someone’s head. Grow up.
Second, and more importantly, all you accomplished aside from making Southern smell a bit off for a few days is help Ezra Levant pay his lackeys. The Rebel is going to fundraise off of this so hard, and you’ve guaranteed they’ll send Southern out to do more confrontations like this in the hopes of more bodily fluids being thrown.
That’s how they operate, they want to be seen as victims of the “regressive left” or whatever. The entire raison-d’étre of The Rebel is to propel forward the victimhood narrative for whites, men, the rich, and any other privileged group in the country – and throwing urine on one of its reporters is only helping them do so.
Listen, it’s hard not to react to some one like Southern, who is aggressive and offensive but also well-versed in the subject matter. Everyone has that person who gets under your skin and you just want to lash out at – but, you know, we don’t because we know it just helps their cause.
But you know how to get back at them? Just ignore them, seriously. Ignore Levant. Ignore Southern. Ignore the whole pack of Rebel trolls. Let them stew in their hate-filled world, it’s of no concern if they wish to. They are so far outside of mainstream opinion and cater to such a niche and irrelevant audience that in a few years we’ll wonder what happened to the site and these, uh, “wonderful” personalities.
Unless, of course, you propel them into the national media by pouring a bottle of piss over a reporter’s head.
Leave the trolls under the bridge and be done. Or at least refuse to pay their toll, if you can’t avoid confrontation altogether. There is no need to further pack The Rebel’s coffers with stupid stunts.
