I took out a subscription to your substack and am in the middle of writing an email. This whole stifling of speech is getting crazy. Who gets to define ‘hate’?

The library coordinator is promoting a hatred of women. Irony.

Keep at them and soon their own parents will be shaming them for their misogyny. Keep the donation. Try getting away from coastal BC. It’s where the delusional woke live.

There's going to be a lot of email travelling and phone calls to many staff and representatives of the Cowichan Community Centre https://www.cvrd.ca/2134/Contact-Us where Rob Williams is the manager, Rob.Williams@cvrd.bc.ca 250.746.3400 and the greater Cowichan Valley Regional District https://www.cvrd.ca/directory.aspx where you'll find such people as Kris.Schumacher@cvrd.bc.ca 2507462635 Manager, Communications & Engagement, Leah Waldron Leah.Waldron@cvrd.bc.ca the Communications Coordinator 250.746.2500 ext. 2653, Chief Administrative Officer, Danielle Myles Wilson Danielle.MylesWilson@cvrd.bc.ca 2507462510, John Elzinge john.elzinga@cvrd.bc.ca 250.746.2520 General Manager Community Services, and Karen Chrisanthopoulos karen.chrisanthopoulos@cvrd.bc.ca 2507462647 Executive Assistant of Community Services.

There are dozens more worth CC'ing if inclined as well as the Board of Directors here: https://www.cvrd.ca/228/Board-of-Directors

“B.C.’s Human Rights Code prohibits speech...”

This isn’t a human rights code. It’s pretext for control and eventual action by those in power at the time. “Who gets to define ‘hate’” indeed.

The problem isn’t the facility or the people leading it, it’s the law. Tough nut to crack.

*A* problem is the law for sure but the reference doesn't apply to our event either way.
