Oh Canada....

How gender activists stole the media, distorted medicine, and hurt Canadian kids

Quote:
There is a major medical scandal unfolding in Canada, and our media is fuelling it. In gender clinics across the country, doctors put healthy adolescents on invasive medical procedures that can impair fertility, sexual function, and bone density, damage bodily systems, and result in the removal of healthy organs. Teenage girls are being put into menopause, and young men are being chemically and surgically castrated. This is all done without a clear diagnosis or solid scientific evidence that these treatments are safe or beneficial.

Yet Canada’s mainstream media portrays these interventions, euphemistically called “gender-affirming care,” as evidence-based, medically necessary, and lifesaving. Top outlets such as CBC, CTV, and Global present paediatric gender medicine as uncontroversial.

Canada has had a horrendous decade under Trudeau in every way that can be measured and quantified. And that even without mentioning the two issues that obsess me (and, as I happen to know) the writer of this piece the most.

Montreal salon must pay $500 to non-binary customer who said booking system was discriminatory


Our commitment to being the dumbest country is almost heroic

This recent example is probably the most outrageous and mind-boggling one to me...

It's very bad, shows deep ignorance on behalf of everyone involved with this in the Trudeau admin. The optics are catastrophic. Among other things, it gave Russia a giant propaganda coup. And not only Russia but all the low rent conspiracy theorists who love portraying Ukrainians as a bunch of Nazis.

Yet at the end of the day it was an accident. What's worse is that Trudeau had a decade to implement economic, demographic and other policies that transformed Canada from a thriving multicultural democracy to something resembling a third world $hithоlе. And the fault rests not only with him but with the entire deluded elite class of expensively (half-)educated dullards.

The best summation of it is this book by one of those guys who (like me) was comfortably a center-left liberal a decade ago and is considered a far right fascist today.

Spotted in Montreal, where else

When I left the city almost a decade ago it was in that sweet spot where it was a very cool place to live culturally and the fact that it was one of the most left wing cities in North America was just part of our goofy charm of one of the world's top college towns or whatever. But the radicalization everything's undergone since, alongside certain demographic trends, is really... sad more than anything. Like, you don't have to inflict this lobotomy on yourself, you can actually live your lives like normal human beings in a beautiful city... but no... Gotta dive headlong into the stupidest mass hysterias of all time, communism, Palestine, trans, anything as long as it feeds into your pathetic resentment against the world as it is.

Canada’s Cuba blind spot – How Ottawa’s inconsistent approach undermines democracy in the Americas

Beyond jokes about Trudeau's paternity, we really must stop bailing out the communist monsters. It's bad for the soul.

I'd say something like "more Canadian excellence" if this wasn't basically a tribute to a viral video from a DSA convention from a few years back. Still, Americans are lucky that these things are relatively marginal over there
