One of the biggest contributors to the unwarranted hatred of unvaccinated Canadians was the media. We can’t forget the enormous roll they played in twisting the minds of fearful Canadians to hate us.
And they continue to keep the population divided, fearful & distracted to this day.
There is no doubt they have caused immense harm to democracy & the minds of so many.
These are just some of the headlines I saved from that time.

Forget free speech in Australia, you can even be found guilty of vilification for truth speech!

I simply took information posted in the public domain by a football club and Football NSW and reposted it.

I asked basic questions like "why are males in female competitions?" and "why is a male the top goal scorer in the female competition?"

Men are not women.

Males do not belong in women's sport.

If I can be found guilty of vilification for speaking the truth, so could you.

So could journalists. So could politicians. So could anyone who refuses to bow down on the altar of any radical ideology.

The gay rights movement is currently host to a cannibalising ideology that blames and shames homosexuals for not sleeping with members of the opposite sex. Amnesty International is on the side of the persecutors.

Schools are complicit.

[Róisín Murphy @roisinmurphy]

My heart breaks for lesbians. There were never large numbers of exclusively same-sex attracted women. Now they are being dismantled. Young girls are transitioning before they get the chance to explore their sexuality, and men are demanding access to every space, intimate or otherwise. A fragile culture built by one of the most marginalised and misunderstood groups is dying, and very few care.

And before anyone comes here to tell me “lesbians won’t save your career,” again, I know.

Bill C-34 is out, the "Safe Social Media Act". It's big and has a number of civil liberties concerns. Much of the concerns are cut-and-paste from Trudeau's failed "Online Harms Act". Still going through it, but what stands out is that the definition of "harmful content" includes hate, which has an inherently subjective meaning.

As another man who once worked with me declares himself saddened by my beliefs on gender and sex, I thought it might be useful to compile a list for handy reference. Which of the following do you imagine makes actors and directors who aren’t involved with the HBO reboot of Harry Potter so miserable?

Is it my belief that women and girls should have their own public changing rooms and bathrooms?

That women should retain female-only rape crisis centres?

That men don’t belong in women’s sport?

That female prisoners shouldn’t be incarcerated with violent men and male sex offenders?

That women should remain a protected class in law, because they have sex-specific needs and issues?

That language should reflect reality rather than ideological jargon, especially in a medical context?

That women shouldn’t be harassed, persecuted or fired for refusing to pretend humans can change sex?

That women should not be threatened with violence and rape when they assert their rights?

That freedom of speech and belief are essential to a pluralistic democratic society?

That troubled minors, especially those who are gay, autistic and trauma-experienced, should be given mental health support instead of irreversible surgeries and drug treatments on non-existent evidence of benefit?

That gay people shouldn’t be pressured to include the opposite sex in their dating pools, nor should they be smeared as ‘genital fetishists’ when they don’t?

That cross-dressing heterosexual male fetishists aren’t actually oppressed, but having the time of their lives piggybacking off gender identity ideology?

That said ideology, and the privileged, blinkered fools pushing it because they suffer zero consequences themselves, have done more damage to the political left’s credibility than Trump and Farage could have achieved in a century?

Let me have your thoughts.

@preta_6 I actually like Winter. We've received 37 cm of snow in the last 24 hours & the temperature climbs to a high of -13C today.
No hayfever, asthma or mosquitos. Awesome!

@DuaneBratt Dude, if you believe women & men are "genders" rather than sex-specific words, then the one removing *all* gender identities except for these 2 is YOU. Solution, base sports competition on sex instead i.e. male vs male, female vs female.

[Colin Wright @SwipeWright]

🚨ALERT: A new peer-reviewed paper in the American Sociological Association's official journal Sex & Sexualities calls for the elimination of the idea of childhood sexual innocence and the social/ethical taboos against children engaging in sex acts.🚩

The authors lament that most scholarship "marginalizes childhood sexual pleasure" and views children as “vulnerable subjects." They argue that we must "interrogate dominant narratives of sexual innocence that suppress young people's desires" and instead recognize how children "negotiate pleasure and meaning amid intersecting hierarchies of age, race, gender, and class." They reject what they call "adult-centric/adultist approaches to sexualities" and insist that "childhood pleasure is indispensable for an inclusive sociology and just sexual futures."

It is hard to read this as anything other than laying the intellectual groundwork for dismantling age-of-consent protections.

The central theme of the paper is "pleasure." This aligns with trends in international sex education policy, particularly the International Planned Parenthood Federation's Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) program, which explicitly shifted away from sex education centered around reproduction and toward what it calls "sexual expression, sexual fulfillment, and pleasure." Pleasure is one of seven core elements of CSE. Its Youth Policy, applying to "all young people irrespective of their age," declares a "right to pleasure" and "the right of all young people to enjoy sex and express their sexuality in the way that they choose."

It is therefore no surprise that the paper's authors frame the very notion of childhood sexual innocence as a barrier to progress.

They are saddened that "preadolescent children's erotic capacities are routinely pathologized." They argue that the "notion of childhood sexual innocence" is a harmful social construct that wrongly portrays children as "vulnerable to and in need of protection from sexuality." In their telling, "operating from the presumption of innate (sexual) innocence" leads scholars and the public to "overlook children's everyday pleasures" and attempt to "banish childhood sexuality altogether." They even go so far as to describe childhood sexual innocence as a "colonial fiction."

The fact that such arguments now appear in a flagship journal of the American Sociological Association should alarm everyone. As we repeatedly see, what begins as abstract theorizing in niche corners of academia rarely stays there. It trickles down into education, policy, and culture.

@SpeechUnion @CF_Farrow I'm not a Trump supporter either to put it mildly. But the cops showing up at your door to tell you to apologize to someone offended by your online posts - wtf?

Perhaps the Police could start going after criminals for a change.

Joint Statement from the international Free Speech Unions:

The assassination of Charlie Kirk is a tragedy. He devoted his life to arguing for what he believed in as eloquently as he could, always engaging with his political opponents in good faith and modelling the value of open and honest debate. Free speech cannot be allowed to die with Charlie. Now more than ever we need to stand up for the free exchange of ideas. That is the best way – the only way – to resolve our political differences. If we resort to violence, liberal democracy cannot survive.

🚫COVID-19 "Vaccine" (2020): 38,514 reported deaths - STILL on the market

Its time for MAHA to act in accordance with obvious data and common sense principles.

Once again, for those in the back:
Zionism is not Judaism. Zionism is an ideology based on the supremacy of one ethnic group over all others. "Jewish self-determination," as it is playing out in Israel, against Palestinian families, culture, and homes, sounds like a nice euphemism for ethnic cleansing, to my ears - not unlike "gender affirming care."

There is no excuse for the genocide in Gaza.

There is no "responsible gender care," either.

I find the denial around the genocide in Gaza as impenetrable - maybe more so - than that around the mutilation of children's healthy bodies and the decimation of families at the gender front, though it is happening on a much greater scale, also with impunity.

The prolific historical and journalistic reporting on the ethic cleansing in Gaza is not exactly obscure and reaches back far further than the gender insanity. Claiming anti-semitism for those exposing it, and those supporting those exposing it, is a trifle bizarre, when so many of the most prominent and important voices are jewish themselves, have lived in Gaza, studied the conflict, have been to the war zone, risked their lives to get information out, and have written books about the historical context. They do a much better job of speaking about the nuances and historical roots of this war on humanity than I ever could, so I would politely suggest some of you start investigating for yourselves. I will not respond to your dog piles. If you wish to block, ridicule, or denounce me, have at it.

I stand with those who are standing up to genocide and speaking out about the atrocities.

Stay human.
