A resident of the Makwa Sahgaiehcan First Nation in Saskatchewan who spoke out about vote-buying has lost his job at the community's school for helping reporters, in what the school says is a breach of its policy.
Leon Weeseekase publicly called for an end to what he said is a practice of exchanging money for votes at band council elections on his reserve.
"I kind of feel betrayed," he said. "I tried to help the community somehow, speaking out about alcohol and drugs and vote-buying, saying that it's not right. They tell me that I can't talk about that subject because it's going to hurt our community, when our community is already hurt."

Can't say as I'm shocked that he lost his job. The band controls the jobs and housing. That's how they are able to coerce everyone and maintain the Bannock republics.

The school board chair, Douglas Littlespruce, said the decision was entirely based on the school's disciplinary policy, which aims to prevent politics from getting involved in the school's operations.
The policy, cited in the letter of dismissal given to Weeseekase, indicates that employees are forbidden from causing a "disruptive influence at work and/or in the community" and from performing "any action that is disrespectful or brings disrespect to the employer."
"We don't tolerate politics at the school," Littlespruce said, adding that his goal is to keep conflict away from students. "We want to keep the kids safe. They're our priority."

This last line is such a crock of shit.

From the stories you've told here in the past, I'd laugh at that line if it weren't such a sad situation.

This was a band school....they can be pretty pathetic. I'd never work in one.

Of course no one can comment on this because of the CBC's lovely censorship rules.

Life's not worth living if you can't throw your shit on the CBC site, I know.
You've got a site here with almost not rules. Not good enough?

Nope.
How can anyone civilly discuss the foibles of unbridled progressivism if nobody can post their insight knowledge and learned wisdom on the web page of what has turned out to be Canada's largest propaganda machine? A website that they as taxpayers pay for. It's censorship in it's crudest form used to ensure that the left's PC views remain unchallenged.
Besides "most" of the lefties on this site have more than a modicum of intelligence and aren't so self aggrandizing as to think that their personal beliefs and ideologies should be followed unquestioningly by the rest of the planet.
But here's a question. If you don't agree with this sites rules and regulations or how it's being moderated why do you remain here tormenting yourself and others?

He's neither left nor right. He's 100% sphincter, only interested in creating shit for his personal entertainment.

Can you find the quote where I said that?
This site is plenty for me. I neither read nor make comments on other sites.

I assumed by the tone of your post that when you said this site had no rules you were unhappy with the way it was being moderated. If you're happy then my apologies.

Actually I said almost no rules. It seems like a pretty loose site to me, more so now that all the moderating duties fall on Hyack. So people should be content to get all their crap out here. But I guess it's just no fun if you can't stick to the CBC, or come here to complain about comments on the CBC.
I've always said I'm for free speech, so I'm going to be happier with a loosely moderated site than a tight one.
