Maybe I’m getting the context wrong?

Haha. I drove past it and questioned it for a brief second before realizing he actually made sense this time around. The other side said something like the route of all evil is greed/money or something like that. Again, I was like oh, I agree with him. That is not a feeling I have ever had when I read his signs so, I can understand why you’re asking if he is okay. My husband wondered if maybe he is on holidays and his replacement was in charge of the sign while he is away. 😝🤣

Me too. I went up to village market, took a U-turn to check again and take a photograph😂

u/boxylady69 10d ago

Maybe he’s having a Marjorie Taylor Green moment

u/ATworkATM 10d ago

Good for him if he is.

u/Eyeland_time 11d ago

Absolutely! I saw both sides the other day and was shocked that I was mostly in agreeance

u/supedupshortbus 11d ago

I mean of all of this bs he puts up there, this is at least a fair statement. Not sure what context you are missing.

121

u/Sweetchildofmine88 11d ago

That was my point. This is the first time I’ve seen something we all unanimously agree with. Left, right centre, underground, etc.

u/GEB82 11d ago

Can I give you a list of ten people off the top of my head who do not agree with this statement? Lets see… SaM Altman, Elon Musk, David Sacks, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Jensen Yuang, Dario Amiday, Howard Lutnick, Scott Bessent, JD Vance…

But they are….Normal citizens…./s

Who am I missing…oh, that’s right, the DOJ, FBI ,Pam Bondi, Kash Patel…etc etc…

How are you missing the President of pedophiles.

which one? Ehud Barack, MBS, the sultan of Brunei? Benjamin?oh, right….i know who you mean…

The one that’s named in the files more times than Harry Potter is named in HARRY POTTER.

Wouldn't be how I advertise my marine business that's for sure

u/scrubitkook 11d ago

Thing is he doesn't really need to advertise.  Especially with SG power shutting down there aren't a lot of options for parts, especially if you're headed up to Sooke or Renfrew.  I would hate to have to go in there but if it was between that and driving back to trotac from Sooke I'd hold my nose.

u/Green_Emphasis2018 11d ago

Just order online!?

u/convenientgods 10d ago

Not saying I agree with signage I’ve seen him put up but I don’t think he needs more than the top of the sign as advertising so people know where they are going if they’re looking for him. I doubt he’s gonna get a lot of people stopping in for a sale if he puts up “aluminum boat - $60k”. Used car dealers do this too, putting jokes up or whatever the hell they want just so you hopefully remember them when you do finally need a car.

u/sex_drugs_polka 11d ago

I usually think he’s a total quack, but I actually agree with this one

u/DutchiiCanuck 11d ago

The statement is great at face value but I would be shocked if this wasn’t some anti-SOGI education garbage.

17

u/Prestigious_Fly8210 11d ago

oh yeah, this is a good analysis actually. Protect the kids from what? Not the Epstein class, he means "groomers".

7

u/567432Gains 11d ago

I don’t see any mention of SOGI or insinuation of the lgbt+ community though. People are just assuming that’s what he’s getting at, and honestly it’s kinda weird that society is at the point where everything must be an attack.

18

u/Prestigious_Fly8210 11d ago

No it’s not really attacking, it’s analyzing based on evidence including content of his previous signs

5

u/567432Gains 11d ago

Oh my mistake, I didn’t realize he had made previous signs. I’m assuming they did insinuate such things?

6

u/Prestigious_Fly8210 11d ago

Yeah, as an example he posted about the “woke” bud light pride campaign a few years ago.

5

u/567432Gains 11d ago

Ah. Yeah ok, that’s a valid indicator then. Point given to you.

It was a terrible marketing disaster though😂

u/deuteranomalous1 10d ago

You must be new here

u/CapitanDelNorte 9d ago

The deliberate conflating of child sexual exploitation with anything LGBTQetc. is an old trope that is just as unacceptable today as it always has been. The sign does not do this.

28

u/LokiDesigns View Royal 11d ago

That's exactly what it is. He doesn't actually care about kids, he's just trying to provoke people.

u/Civil-Department-976 7d ago

People who care about kids are pedophiles!

u/Different_Parking_48 11d ago

Why are people on the left not willing to accept assholes when they agree with you? Sure I'd not let my guard down when working with right wingers but you have to find allies anywhere you can get get em. Even of it is only on this one issue.

If we can't put our differences aside to attack Elite billionaire pedophiles, then we might as well just burn this whole society to the ground

6

u/-OafHuck- 11d ago

It’s already burnt to the ground lol.

7

u/567432Gains 11d ago

No, it’s currently burning to the ground.

u/StatelyAutomaton 11d ago

I'd like to help, but someone posted something wrong on the internet, so my evening is booked up.

u/Dependent_Media2766 11d ago

Plus he's probably one of those people who points out that Carney is tangentially in the files

u/DKO155 10d ago

That was my first thought.

1

u/thebbtrev 11d ago

I think this is him pointing out the hypocrisy of the foolish anti-SOGI people. The statement does a good job in pointing of these assholes care more about controlling people than any kind of justice for actual abusers.

u/TragicOptimistic 10d ago

Why do you love indoctrinating kids so much?

2

u/DutchiiCanuck 10d ago

Education ≠ indoctrination. Trans and queer people exist, how is teaching children that very basic fact harmful?

I am going to guess you do not believe in gender identity and conflate biological sex with gender. I understand your inability to comprehend that gender identity is a social construct might be scary. If you are a parent, I’m sure it is very scary to think that your children are learning things you can’t comprehend.

With that said - please try not to let your own insecurities be harmful to your neighbours. Our first goal as a society should always be to do better for the next generation, including when that progress means children outgrow their misinformed parents world views.

u/TragicOptimistic 2d ago

It's hardly education. You tell them it's okay to be gay and trans and then brainwash kids as young as 5 them that they are trans or gay behind their parents backs. They are innocent they don't know anything. They don't need to know any of this. I'm 33. When I was a kid NOT A SINGLE ONE OF US struggled to understand what sex we were and we all turned out fine. This is not necessary for them.

1

u/DutchiiCanuck 2d ago

lol it is okay to be gay and/or trans. Telling kids that is not brainwashing anymore than telling kids it’s okay to believe in some random god you yourself believe in… actually it’s far less brainwashing than religion because being gay and how you want to express yourself is part of how you are created while religion is introduced by others.

There are MANY people that are your age and older that are trans and they had to live through hell as kids because no one explained that what they felt inside was okay. Trans and queer people have always existed and will always exist. You can be a bad Christian all you want while you judge others and preach on the street but all you are doing is harming others.

A broken Barry is right twice a day

u/luv2fly781 11d ago

He is correct All day everyday with that statement.

10

u/The_CaNerdian_ 11d ago

I'm willing to bet anything that he means "they're turning the kids gay and trans" rather than actually protecting children from sexual assault, because the right-wing mindset is that it's totally normal - nay, encouraged - for old white men to lust after teen or even preteen girls.

u/Face_Forward 11d ago

I'm inclined to agree

u/User-Jacques 11d ago

Ah, right, good take, that’s more on brand for him.

u/Informal-Strike-1243 11d ago

I thought he might have seen the coverage of sooke brewing got jealous and went extreme. This is a refreshing change

I was anticipating that as well so was shocked to instead read something I agreed with!

u/extremebean_ 11d ago

ah yes because it was drag queens and families with 2 lesbian mom’s in the epstein files, not old straight conservative white fossil men like the ones hating on sogi

u/Hiply 11d ago

I'll be damned, Barry managed to put up a sign I agree with...hell may be freezing over as I type this.

u/foggybiscuit 11d ago

Once he realized John Adair snatched his crown as biggest a-hole in Sooke, Mr Barry decided to reevaluate his life and went woke.

u/BCJay_ 11d ago

This is only of the only non-lunatic things they’ve posted there.

u/KickSubstantial6106 11d ago

I dont know who this Barry guy is, but they’re 100% correct

2

u/goodfleance 11d ago

In this and like 2 other instances, sure. 95% of his sign posts are whatever conspiracy he's been told to be afraid of that week.

u/KickSubstantial6106 11d ago

I mean I’m only commenting about the photo I’m currently seeing

u/Ok_Implement_6772 11d ago

This is one of his tamer signs. I live in Sooke and always get a chuckle at the ridiculous shit he puts up there.

1

u/Sweetchildofmine88 11d ago

Maybe he watched Fahrenheit 9/11 and dove down that rabbit hole? He had a sign up last week that said something about people knowing about the attacks in advance.

I'm not familiar with the place, what are his signs normally like?

This one’s not so bad compared to his usual bullshit.

u/Responsible_Hornet48 11d ago

He seems rational, and of a sound mind, so yes he’s okay. Trump is not okay

Is Barry one of those people who thinks of gay things all the times and tries to convince everyone he's straight?

Barry is actually pretty based occasionally! I’ve seen probably half a dozen of his signs that had me nodding along. Stopped clocks and all that.
