A motion at the United Conservative Party AGM for the government to battle the woke cancel culture was withdrawn at the last minute..Delegates were told UCP President Cynthia Moore, the MLA from the presenting riding, Dale Nally and the local constituency association had agreed to remove the motion..There were some audible grumblings in the crowd..The motion from the Morinville-St. Albert constituency association called for the UCP to.“safeguard our achievements and respect our accomplishments by addressing the threats to our history and culture posed by the cancel culture and the woke temperament with their historical revisionism and vilification of individuals.”.“Today, self-anointed arbitrators are pursuing a political blitzkrieg to destroy legacies and reputations. Audacious and self-righteousness, they demand that only ‘the evil’ of these leaders be remembered and ‘lives after them’ and any ‘good’ be cancelled..“The main victims are white males whose misdeeds and alleged misdeeds occurred when social mores and political climates were much different..“Defacing statues and renaming buildings are favorite ploys. Bullying and intimidation are used to cower pusillanimous politicians, businesses, etc. Sir Winston Churchill and Sir John A. Macdonald are prominent targets. Left-wing icons such as Tommy Douglas and Emily Murphy are spared from their bile.”.Dave Naylor is the News Editor of the Western Standard.,dnaylor@westernstandardonline.com,.Twitter.com/nobby7694
