The 17-year-old cousin of a former Conservative MP hopeful in the 2019 federal election and her friend have apparently been suspended from Stonewall Collegiate for refusing to wear a rainbow poppy.
Cyara Bird of the Little Black River First Nation, who was on the ballot for the Churchill-Keewatinook Aski riding of northern Manitoba this past election, took to Twitter tonight to express her anger after learning her cousin and another student had both been suspended for “hate speech” after rejecting the idea that rainbow poppies should replace the traditional red-and-black ones worn during their school’s Remembrance Day performance.
FFS!! Why can’t these morons just leave well enough alone.
Why can’t they leave things alone? Because their entire raison d’être revolves around destroying Western traditions, Western society, and Western civilization.
Guess I was mistaken I always thought poppies were worn out of respect and to remember those that served and sacrificed so much. It is very difficult to put up with these people who think everything thing is about them A rainbow poppy Give me a god damned break.
My Late Father Fought the NAZI’s…
Looks like my generation is gonna have to do the same…
The Deviants on Display Cabal and ALL those on the Left that vehemently support & agitate for them, can shove said Rainbow where the sun dont shine – permanently.
Only in Manitoba you say? Unfortunately, probably not.
Time for parents to head down to the school board to kick some collegiate butt.
When they said, “We’re not bothering you. Just leave us alone.” We agreed.
Now it’s, “In your face straight boy. Kiss our fannies or we’ll persecute you!”
If we had known back then, we would have doubled down on smacking them around. PET and his “bedrooms of the nation” speech be damned.

I wonder if Blackie will wear one on Monday. Social justice leftists hate Remembrance Day. Remember during the last provincial election in Ontario, when some NDP members trashed Remembrance Day and vets. Comrade Horwath defended them.
They are dissing dead soldiers and McCrae. The people from Europe gave us this symbol and John McCrae the poem in “Flanders Field.”
They do these things to get attention. There are some things you just don’t mess with. This is one of them.
(Besides, since when are these even rainbow colors?)
“Gay marriage is … jussssst … about LOVE”. And the cowed heteros actually bought it.
Steakman NAILED it … we are gonna have to fight the Nazis all over again. And anyone who doesn’t actually recognize the LGBT as the Neo NAZI Party of today … will eventually end up as a lampshade in Ed Buck’s West Hollywood Lair.
Rainbow poppies? How long before the talking heads on TV start wearing them? Anyone seen one yet?
Remember when this kind of stuff was considered comedy?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iV8X8ubGCc
Proving once again that all of life can be explained by at least one Seinfeld episode. At least until they’re all erased.
Could that kind of comedy be made today? Not a chance. Could someone say “This is America! I don’t have to wear the Rainbow, if I don’t want to!” Nope. You’d be vilified and doxxed and harassed. You’d be FIRED, if you work for a woke Silicon Valley Tech monopoly.
And if you live in Canada … they might even “suspend” you or jail you.
The phone number of Stonewall Collegiate is: (204) 467-5539 in case any of you would like to chat with them about this incident. I just did and found that they were . . . . . . reluctant . . . . . to talk about it.
Better yet, if you really want to get them riled up Phone them and ask them why their College is named after Stonewall Jackson?
I think they may be named after the town of Stonewall MB.
That is exactly what you have to do. Take them on and don’t take NO for an answer.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
well.
tq for that quote watcher.
seems others before me long ago took the view I have, to whit:
——take as MANY of them with me as possible.———
it would please me unendingly if it came to something like
‘oh ya, hb knew he was a goner, and that’s what drove his fury. his legacy, he was so successful that’s why we are here honouring his memory. and ferocity.’
Just as no-one should be FORCED to wear a regular poppy, no-one should be forced to wear a pervert poppy. The fascists seem to be taking over. Are we sure the pervert poppy isn’t an intellectual property infringement?
If enough people refer to the rainbow version as “poofter-poppies” maybe these shameless appropriators will shut up and leave people alone.
I love the poofter poppies name. I will use it whenever possible.
Anyone who wears a rainbow poppy hates the people who fought for their freedom to be a f**king asshole.
From article. The Principal confiscated her phone for trying to record the shouting and screaming going on in the Office by the Principal. They were also told to keep quiet and shut up about the incident. Make the NAZI bastards famous. Every Veteran should use that school grounds for their Veterans Day Service. This is why our Veterans fought and died. Make the NAZI’s famous. Stand with these young people, who were raised right.
“Bird also posted a message from her cousin’s father which read that the young woman had attempted to record the school administrators admonishing her using her cellphone, but that they noticed and confiscated her phone in response.”
This school principal is toast! He or she won’t be able to walk in public. Every aspect of his or her life will be scrutinized by us nazi fighters fed up with their crap. I’m sure legal teams on both side are being prepared. Everywhere we are fighting back. We must make them feel true fear.
NAZIS? You mean those” National Socialist Worker’s Party” folks….two steps to the left of the Communists…er Socialists? Those guys?
As for “confiscating” that phone….theft. Charge that person.
Cyara Bird came in 2nd to the NDP incumbent, because Northern Manitoba loves it’s welfare.
Why would perverts wear any type of poppy when they won’t let members of the military walk in pervert parades with Justin.
Because wearing no poppy means nothing, but their rainbow poppy insults and perverts conventional mores. They are damaged and dysfunctional so everyone who isn’t must suffer.
This incident is disgusting. Symbols like the red poppy are sacred and solemn reminders of those brave souls who fight and die for our precious freedoms. It is our duty to safeguard our symbols from those depraved pigs who are hell bent on undermining everything that is good, true, and beautiful.
Those young independent people who were accused of hate speech should receive a public apology. Those bent fools who accused them of hate speech should be fined and made to pay for this. It is high time that we, the so called silent majority, start pushing back in any way that we individually or collectively are able to do so.
i was on the poppy campaign 2 weekends in a row, i thank everyone for their kind donation and assist if needed in pinning on. always on the left side.
The persons responsible for the rainbow poppy may find that they are infringing on a registered trademark item of the RC Legion as any use of or similarities is prohibited by law without express permission of the rcl.
Stonewall Collegiate should be sued out of existence.
Who the hell these people think they are?
This is, as far as one can tell a free country. Or maybe not,
It is becoming very much and very fast something out of 1984.
This should be stopped as early as can be done.
It has nothing to do with anything this is pure forced propaganda by those characters.
Lev – I think this should be before the human rights commission . The people who did this should be fined and fired. It is time to turn their weapons against them at every opportunity .
Agreed
This is the institutional left in action – vandalizing something held in esteem by glorifying deviance in order to further post modern nihilism. Once the culture has been vandalized into a nullity, the state can herd their sheep as the ruling elite wish.
The administration is now mostly in the (identity politics) crab bucket and fears the crabs more than the offended parents.
I was and still am against “gay marriage” not for religious or moral reasons but for exactly this. Give them an inch and they’ll take a mile.

“Time for parents to head down to the school board to kick some collegiate butt.”
True. Long, long overdue. On this and a multitude of other issues.
But it’s too late. it will never happen now. Servility is the default state for the majority of Canadians.
well folks, to state the glaringly obvious, the battleground is
EVERYWHERE.
Brave Canadian and American soldiers crossed the seas to stop the spread of fascism.
They failed. It took root in their homes.
…”stop the spread of fascism. They failed.”
Nor did it get stamped out where they fought.
The Board of Trustees of Interlake School Division has said at no point did any staff member of Stonewall Collegiate …
Staff members are unionized teachers, while principal’s are non unionized, and viewed as executives.
So the Board’s statement may be legally correct, though it’s clearly not 100% accurate from a student’s point of view as it makes little difference if it was a union teacher or a non union principal that berated her for not wearing a gay poppy.
I was just reading a blog called “Meaning in History” and came across a comment from “Cassander” that I thought holds some water here: “….I am reminded of the portrait of Trump on the cover page of Whatfinger (Whatfinger News) with the caption “In reality they’re not after me, they’re after you. I’m just in the way.” If you think about it that’s all our jobs. Get in their way. Rainbow poppies my arse!
That is an incredibly perceptive statement. Thanks for sharing.
There can be no doubt that the leftists HATE us, and are after us basketful of deplorables. Hard to miss that, when SHE says it to our faces.
I’m usually reluctant to say much about such incidences until all sides have had their say. It’s not always how it was first reported.
But the evasive response of the Superintendent speaks volumes. I’m hoping that other news outlets pick up this story so that they’re forced to give more details.
In related news Blackie’s media is excited that a record breaking number of gay characters are on TV and in the movies.
I’m sure others appreciated Kate’s reference in her title to the old Bob Hope joke, the one that Mark Steyn quoted in what was to be his final National Review column when a prissy young editor dared to reprimand him for his “puerile” humor.
The student was allegedly suspended for posting a “hate speech” poster.
It’s a useful strategy. “We’re excluding you because we’re inclusive” would otherwise seem such a silly use of power.
Interesting word, puerile, I doubt the editor knew the meaning of the word.
i called – the lady who answered was polite, calm, and suggested google to get the “official” first response.
someone (2 actually) has stepped in fresh buffalo dung. wilfred laurier 2.0, eh.
Wearing a Rainbow Poppy is making November 11 all about the LGBTQEIEIO community and not the Vets.
Pretty sad. and disgusting.
I will never wear a rainbow poppy because not only do they not come in rainbow colors, I will not celebrate sexual perversion when young men died so these perverts can destroy morality. They are perverts and nothing they do is moral or acceptable.
I can’t remember where I saw this:
“I’m not afraid of them making homosexuality legal, I’m afraid of them making it mandatory.”
Heh! That was the gist of the Bob Hope Joke I referred to above:
“I’ve just flown in from California, where they’ve made homosexuality legal. I thought I’d get out before they make it compulsory.”
Here’s a link to Steyn’s column, ‘The Age of Intolerance’.
https://www.nationalreview.com/2013/12/age-intolerance-mark-steyn/
Hmm. Maybe it’s time to claim the rainbow flag as a symbol for something they don’t approve of. I don’t know, maybe start by making it a true rainbow flag with all seven colours and then use it to mean it supports Trump, gun owners, veterans, oil patch workers, conservatives, Christians, and actual free speech.
This kind of thing amused my father in his late 80s,he referred to his service as “Five wasted years”.
And Steakman is right.
Everything dad volunteered to fight against,we did to ourselves.
Slaves to the state,subject to an insane social philosophy and fragmented into rudderless groups.
Funny thing,at first Dad said he thought we would never repeat the madness that swept Germany here, as the welfare state gained power,he said we were for it,
Cycles?
Perhaps we need to start a new fashion,the carrying of clue sticks.
It may be time that the World’s Instability is taught to the worthless children that don’t understand that Nuclear War will destroy everything on this planet… Keep pushing stupid & you will reap extinction…..Not a question that has any argumentum Issues …. Will happen fast & final… Pucker up stupid….
Another stunt by the culturally supreme lgpbtq….crowd.
Each time they pull this stuff they go backward. Their support is slipping among the people they not long ago asked for tolerance and equality.
Anyone of the little snowflakes that agreed to wear this travesty should wear it on their forehead , with a railway spike , this beyond the pale .
They cannot be called Poppys as it would be a copyright infringement.
They are rainbow flowers, not poppys.
I dunno. Is this an internet story?
That is what you get for trying to reason with the enemy. Instead she should have anonymously distributed posters that say “Islam is right about gays” and watch the fireworks.
as of posting, TWO calls to stonewall have gone unanswered. not even an message answering machine response.
hmmmm . . . . . .
