Easy street leads to a dead end. The hardest roads lead to the best destinations.
Our destination is to axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop the crime.
I agree. It’s a great window into the self-deluded narcissism of male athletes who invade female sports events, get called out as cheaters, and then demand pity from the world
FYI - the governments that stopped your children from going to school for 2 years, and who release child molesters from prison on the regular...
now want to ban social media under 16 years old "for their protection"
Yep, that's what they're saying.
🚨 Massive news with worldwide repercussions!
The FTC, along with Alaska, Iowa, Nebraska, and Texas, have filed a lawsuit against the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), alleging the organization has provided the means for medical providers to make false and unsubstantiated claims to parents in order to sell pediatric medical transition services.
WPATH, an association of clinicians who profit from pediatric medical transition services, recommended medical interventions, including drugs and surgery, for children and adolescents who expressed dissatisfaction with or distress about their sex traits. In their complaint, the FTC and its state partners allege that these recommendations misled parents and children about the medical consensus and medical necessity, as well as the safety and effectiveness, of such services, in violation of the FTC Act.
"Today, the FTC filed a lawsuit against WPATH alleging that the organization made false and unsubstantiated claims regarding the necessity, effectiveness and safety of puberty blockers, hormones and sex-change surgeries," said Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson.
"Children, but especially their parents, must have complete and truthful information when making decisions to purchase medical services. For decades, the FTC has taken action against entities that make deceptive and unsubstantiated health-related claims. The complaint filed today reflects that same long-standing mandate: when an entity makes a claim about a medical treatment, the claim must be truthful, evidence-based and not misleading."
In 2022, WPATH omitted all mention of age limitations for breast amputation or penis removal from the "Standards of Care" document providing the organization's official recommendations for treating sex-trait-related dissatisfaction or distress in children.
As alleged in the complaint, WPATH did not base this decision on medical evidence.
As described in the complaint, in several instances, parents seeking help for their children were asked by clinicians whether they "would rather have a live daughter or a dead son," based on WPATH representations that pediatric medical transition services are "lifesaving." As the complaint argues, there is no competent and reliable scientific evidence to suggest these interventions reduce the risk of suicide.
WPATH claims its recommendations represent "consensus-based expert opinion." This leads WPATH members and other clinicians to repeat to consumers false, misleading or unsubstantiated statements about safety and efficacy found in WPATH guidelines, according to the complaint.
According to the complaint, despite the absence of competent and reliable scientific evidence, WPATH's guidelines label nearly every pediatric transition service as "medically necessary" to maximize the likelihood that insurers will pay for the pediatric transition procedures.
This question should be put instead to ideologues who insist that we believe in tales from the crypt about secret graves, murdered children, babies burned alive in ovens and on and on.
What has become increasingly normalized in this country is the hybridization of tropes, blood libels and urban legends borrowed from 19th century American anti-Catholic rioters with the postwar antisemitic obscenity of Holocaust denial. We're told that we mustn’t remember out loud what happened, exactly and who it was that incited riots across Canada in 2021, when at least 70 Catholic churches were burned to the ground or vandalized or otherwise desecrated in anti-Catholic hysterics of precisely the kind that led to the burning of the Ursuline convent at Charlestown, near Boston, on August 11, in 1834.

Thoughts & prayers for Sexton (they/them), “a non-binary person working as an influencer”. Theyzēlph complains that he is getting lower cash flow from corporate DEI slush funds this year
So he urges ppl to donate to organizations that sterilize depressed children
Makes sense
@scoopercooper@nikitabier Clearly, Mark Carney doesn’t care about China threatening Canadians.
He never cared when China put a bounty on @joetay1212.
And never cared about you either, Sam.
@elonmusk is there anything you can do to help @RealAndyLeeShow?
X users shouldn’t face these types threats.
More than one X account in Canada has been targeted for posting osint exposing CCP political networks in Canada. Be careful out there. Also, when one gets to a level, interacting on DM becomes a risk. @nikitabier
there's no genocide in gaza
and there's no such thing as "residential school denialism" because those 215 "unmarked graves" in kamloops don't exist
you need to keep up with the news, professor fruit loops
I am so done with these people. The harm they've done to genuine abuse victims, to my country, to reconciliation, is incalculable. All to protect themselves from accountability for the lies they've been telling. https://t.co/8sLvdtPEEV
What a country. A Senate committee votes to embed a conspiracy theory in an already broken and stupid hate crimes bill. It's often said that 'First they come for the Saturday people, then they come for the Sunday people." In Canada it was the other way round.

Hello there, CNOOC
Long time, no see
Guess they dug my stuff on the BC Ferries scandal
@csiscanada
Wow. The editorial board of the Globe & Mail just flat out admitted that it screwed up by failing to scrutinize the false 2021 claims that “unmarked graves” had been “confirmed” at Kamloops. It’s taken five years, which is a disgrace, but give them credit for finally saying it
How is it “denialism” to question something that even the most gullible media outlets in Canada now acknowledge is merely “suspected”
You don’t even know what you’re trying to argue anymore
