Except most of it was wrong, Im just not going to bother responding to it because I dont feel like arguing with someone who willingly stays wrong.

So you did consider taking an agricultural job to fill your free time? And you do believe that most Canadians would have done the same? Or that the agricultural industry could just not have workers for a few months and everything would have been fine? Or that isolating incoming workers for 14 days is all that's necessary to eliminate whatever risks they might be bringing with them and that that's the only adjustment the TFW program needed to accommodate the current pandemic (which didn't happen and that's bad)?

What you actually mean is "I don't know how to argue against what you said, so I'm going to insist that you're wrong without saying anything you might be able pick apart." Common mistake. Don't feel too bad, I've seen it a thousand times.

Pretty sure James Gunn was fired before he apologized.

Off-hand, I don't remember the details, but that is the first case that came to mind writing that. If his apology didn't come until after he'd faced real consequences for it, that does suggest a certain degree of insincerity, and further repentance is in order before feeling that he's earned forgiveness. If he got fired before he had a chance to apologize and/or demonstrate that he's no longer the person who made those tweets, then that was a knee-jerk reaction that shouldn't have happened because people deserve a chance to atone for their mistakes. Either way, it could have been handled better.
