'Outrageous:' Alberta man told oil and gas shirt not allowed in Senate

CALGARY — Parliamentary security says it made a mistake telling an Alberta man he wasn't allowed to wear a T-shirt in support of Canadian oil and gas during a visit to the Senate.
William Lacey says he was at the Senate for a tour on Monday, but was told by a security guard that he would have to remove his shirt because it could be offensive.
Lacey was wearing a black shirt with white text that included a heart and Maple Leaf to read "I love Canadian oil and gas."
He says he chose to turn the shirt inside out to be part of the tour because his other option was to leave.
The shirt comes from a pro-oil-and-gas organization called Canada Action, which Lacey is associated with. Lacey is also chief financial officer of Steelhead Petroleum Ltd. in Calgary.
He says he has worked in the sector for more than 20 years and wore the shirt in Ottawa because he's proud of the energy industry, but knows many people think of it negatively.
"It's important that people should be allowed to express themselves in a positive and non-confrontational way," he says.
Lacey doesn't view the shirt as political or offensive, he says, and he questions what the reaction would have been to a shirt reading "I love Canadian forests."
He didn't run into security problems while touring the House of Commons in the same shirt, he adds, and left disappointed.
He later wrote a letter to members of Parliament, senators and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about his experience.
"It's not a private business," he says. "This is a public institution funded by taxpayer dollars where access should be open to everyone and anyone."
The security department responsible for Parliament apologized in an email Thursday.
"Personnel misinterpreted a message on the visitor’s article of clothing. The staff involved will be receiving operational guidance and training with respect to visitors to the Hill," wrote Guillaume Vandal with the Parliamentary Protective Service.
Lacey says he's happy with the outcome and appreciates his complaint was taken seriously.
Earlier on Thursday, senators raised the issue during a committee meeting and asked for answers.
"As a western Canadian, I just find that outrageous," Conservative Sen. Denise Batters from Saskatchewan said during the meeting.
"As a Canadian, I find it outrageous," added Conservative Sen. David Tkachuk, also from Saskatchewan.
The Parliament of Canada's website says that "participating in any form of demonstration inside the buildings is prohibited, including wearing items or clothing with visible political messages."

Idiot Boy is going to get his party re-elected if the ultra-right component of the opposition doesn't
ix-nay on the ahoo-Yay etoric-rhey.

It's hovering on that happening right now.




Oh????????????????????????????


Really????????????????????????????????????


And how do you feel now that Our idiot Boy Justin.................................................


has just been so RELENTLESSLY MOCKED AND SKEWERED...................................


by that Yankee Comic?????????????????????????????????????


And the Comic is SUPPOSED TO BE a left wing type!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Justin Trudope HAS BEEN EXPOSED as a HYPOCRITE.............................................


and as an idiot Boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


By an alleged LEFT WING ALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


If this is what his allies are saying about him.............................................


God help him if he ever figures out what ordinary Cdns are saying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-berals and stupid Red Tory/ LIE-beral Lite airheads like Comrade Curious...................................


are DESPERATELY PRAYING that the Silent Majority of Cdns who do not normally vote in any election...........................


ARE NOT SO PISSED at LIE-berals THIS TIME AROUND............................................


that they will chose this time to come out en masse and vote AGAINST Our idiot Boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That is the little trouble with being a polarizing agent.......................................


you can draw in supporters with your BRIBERY as Our idiot Boy has done................................


but you generate LOTS OF HOSTILITY from all those you are robbing blind................................


with your gravy grabbing GREED..............................


as Our idiot By has done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


As I have said before.........................................


THE BEST Our idiot Boy can hope for is a Short Lived Minority Govt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The NDP and Greenies certainly support much of the LIE-beral policy..................................


and they even have more EXTREME "in your face" values than SNEAKY devious LIE-berals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



But as Andrea Horvath found out when she supported the newly in power Wynne-bag govt.....................................


if you get in bed with LIE-berals....................................


then you get the LIE-beral SINS smeared on your reputation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Will Jagmeet (political dead meat) Singh want to tie his horse to the LIE-beral SLEAZE WAGON............................


in hope of building the SUCCESSFUL career he will never have???????????????????


Or will Jagmeet prefer to keep his reputation clean and his honour intact by shunning LIE-beral corruption......................


that so easily spreads and contaminates all it touches?????????????????????????


Will Jagmeet decide it is better to be a small fish in a big pond..................................


than support LIE-berals and become a small fish drowning in LIE-beral slime?????????????????????????????



Will Liz May and her rising crowd of Greenies........................................



who are getting MOST of their current popularity thanks to people..............................................


WHO USED TO VOTE LIE-beral and are now so turned off .................................................


they are putting their support behind Greenies............................


and NDPers with both groups being merely less intelligent LIE-beral COUSINS.................................


with a LACK of low guile and cunning that would enable them.................................


to be "proper" LIE-berals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Liz May is in the same position as NDPer Tom Mulcair....................................


she enjoys her current position IN SPITE OF HER PARTY VALUES.......................


and NOT because of her party values!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Will May want to CONTAMINATE her party in the LONG TERM by associating........................


with LIE-beral SLEAZE???????????????????


It seems UNLIKELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


All of this is to illustrate that the political career of Our idiot Boy will END...................................


in late October or not to long after that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


AS he so richly DESERVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What more proof could you need




POOR STUPID hemerHOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


So LIMITED in his thinking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



It has not occurred to him to ask if the rest of Canada is.............................


or may ever be........................................................


equally "alienated" by the tanker ban!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


If LIE-berals succeed in their goal of shutting down the entire Cdn oil patch............................


we can expect Alberta and maybe Saskatchewan to GO BANKRUPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Simply UNABLE to handle the debts run up back when the oil revenue was expected to roll on forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And if the two provinces do go bankrupt..........................................


then OTHER CDNS will be expected to pick up the NSF cheque..................................


meaning the rest of us will be forced to pay that debt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And that will ALIENATE ALL OF Canada against the stupid LIE-berals....................................


who chose to destroy TWO PROVINCES.........................................


and a profitable industry..........................................


AND throw a pile of Cdns..................................


onto the welfare dirt pile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



And LIE-berals are doing this on a grossly selfish political WHIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
