Placing renewable energy projects on their own land (Alberta)

Not on public land. On private land. But only when it would block the pristine views of the wildfires that are getting worse every year for some reason.
34
- And views of pump jacks!

This is a very factual article. I'm not sure where the satire is.

32
- The satire is that some citizens of Canada think these are good things.

  And some Canadians held pro-Trump marches during the last American elections....we also have idiots, no country is immune from having dumb people.

  Sadly, the real story's in the comments.

Wearing a visible religious symbol while working for the public sector

This one seems reasonable, I'm sure it applies universally and fairly to all religions right?...right?
31
- If it's referencing Bill 21 then yes and it only applies to public servants with power over other people.

  They are asking whether the prohibition affects Christians wearing cross and fish symbols, or only less popular religions' symbols and styles

  I...don't get it, are you guys sure (Not from Canada lol) a conservative wrote it? What's the catch?

- Yes the nudists finally won a victory. All that garden of eden shame stuff is finally gone. Judges, teachers and cops no longer wear any garment whose purpose is modesty.
  
  Shame and modesty are of course punishment from God because of Eve having eaten the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge.

This is fantastic, another great Beaverton article.

Learning about ways to prevent being sexually assaulted (Saskatchewan)

Parents can still arrange for their children to take these sexual education courses privately, so it’s only the vulnerable, less protected children who will be left without the knowledge!
17
- Do people really need a paid, formal education to protect themselves from sexual assault?
  
  In my experience, the victims of sexual assault tend to put their trust in the wrong people. It would be better to raise children to pick their friends more wisely.

  You have a lot of experience with victims of sexual assault?

  "It's the victim's fault for putting themselves in the wrong situations, and dressing like that"

  What on earth do you think those lessons are for? It almost certainly covers spotting signs from people you trust that might lead to abuse, and protecting yourself by removing yourself from the situation if you can.

  This sentence is more horrifying the longer I look at it.

1. Using a name and pronouns that reflects their gender identity in school (Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick)

Since the day satire died November 6, 2016 The Beaverton has become a trusted news site.

Wearing a visible religious symbol while working for the public sector

This has nothing to do with conservatism, it's about secularism, go to Turkey you'll see the same thing, France too, it does not come from conservatives.

2
- Secularism isn't about hiding religion, it's about making it not matter.
  
  And you'll recall that the laws in Quebec around this carved out exemptions for certain religious and cultural signifiers.
  
  That isn't secularism.

- In my country we allow everyone to wear whatever religious symbols, clothes, knives in public service workplaces since those things don't affect how they do their work, though telling them they may not have those things will push them out of the jobs, or make them upset and less productive if they don't leave
  
  I see bans on religious symbols in the workplace as an attempt to reduce the number of people who value those symbols in those workplaces
  
  6
- No, you see, it either comes from a liberal or a conservative.
  
  There is no in-between, outliers, or overlap.

The Beaverton isn't satire, it's propaganda, and not even subtle bout it.
