John Robertson is a retiree who volunteered for a position on the municipal council of Murray Harbour, P.E.I. (pop. 282) in 2022 because he wanted to give back to his rural community.
Robertson felt dismayed about what he views as lies perpetuated in the mainstream media related to the discovery of unmarked graves at Indian Residential Schools, which have been labelled “mass graves” by some journalists despite scant evidence for that particular claim. To try to set the record straight, last September Robertson changed the plastic letters on a wooden sign on his private property in Murray Harbour to spell out a provocative message: “TRUTH: MASS GRAVE HOAX. RECONCILIATION: REDEEM SIR JOHN A’S INTEGRITY.”
On October 4, 2023 Robertson was informed of an official complaint by three fellow councillors under the village Code of Conduct. Council then hired a former RCMP officer to investigate the sign. The officer found that Robertson’s sign breached Code provisions against “unethical behaviour,” “inspiring public trust and confidence,” and “discrimination, intimidation, and harassment.”
On November 18, 2023, Murray Harbour council voted to impose a maximum penalty: a $500 fine, six-month suspension, and forced apology. Robertson refused to comply with those sanctions.
On December 20, 2023, Minister Rob Lantz ordered Robertson to comply or resign. Robertson refused.
The Canadian Constitution Foundation is assisting in his case, check it out here.
No f*cks given. He’s a model for how to treat the woke machine. We’ll be making another donation to the CCF.
A former RCMP officer has an opinion about the sign. Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one.
Who is the “former RCMP officer” and why is it “Former”?
Unreal….
And WTF is it with a “Former” RCMP officer…?
Just another NOBODY with zero status.
Day by day by day I keep exhorting Danielle to get us the hell outa this Woke progressive Cesspool aka Canada. It’s gettin to the point I may leave before Ab does.
Be patient, Grasshopper. Soon enough the US of A will be breaking up into smaller pieces due to the destruction of their money. Canada will suffer the same fate. That is the time when Alberta will become the new country genesis.
Any retired cop worth his weight would have told the council to GFT’s. Shame on all the players here.
Further proof. You can’t fix stupid.
Remember that freedom of speech, press and other communications is conditional, situational and subject to the quality of victimhood of the person that speaks.
You may have noticed, when Poilievre told the The extremist mass media cartel that there are men and women, they immediately, as though having an algorithm for it, found a selected victim to complain and throw verbal garbage at him.
This is what happens when the bottom feeders intellectualize bullshit with sophistry.
Investigate for “dark” money, as to the council members!
It may get worse. The Bill is not likely to pass but you have to admit it’s a pretty ballsy move on the gov’t’s part. Good news for Gym.

“Council then hired a former RCMP officer to investigate the sign. The officer found…”.
Wait a minute. A former RCMP officer is not an officer. They make it seem like the RCMP investigated. He’s a private citizen.
The ex RCMP officer did what he was paid to do, just like he did before he was an ex RCMP- he did whatever his political pay masters told him to do. No change for that mindless red serge wearing fascist drone.
What experience would a former officer have via investigating “Violating a rule” instead of a law? Gawd I am sick of these flakes and liberals who spend their days finding offence.
I’m with you Rose. These indoctrinated morons should be put in their place and not here on earth either!!
When governments promulgate lies, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
How dare this nobody challenge the governments official narrative that Canada is a nation founded upon genocide? Doesn’t he understand that the poisonous ideologies that arose in the last five minutes Trump 150 years of historical fact?
I just wrote the Mayor. Told him that when it comes to freedom, he’s a petty tyrant like Joostaihn.

I would look for a better nickname than “joostaihn”.
If you sound it out you will hear that it could be deemed
“problematic” by progressives.
I’ll stick to Joostaihn. In these parts that’s the way his adoring French-Canadian fanclub pronounces it. turdo works too.
The only time Trudeau is used here is when I’m telling Old Abraham, my Greater Glengarry Moosehound, to go for a dump.
How dare a Canadian publicly call for the redemption of Sir John A. Macdonald’s integrity, especially in P.E.I., which didn’t need his racist railway !
The fine is 50 new-age C$10 bills, temporary expulsion from polite society, and an acknowledgment he’s living on indignant land.
