Congratulations, Canada. This is the stupidest attack on JK Rowling yet

Without doubt, the nicest people in the world are Canadians. They simply can’t do enough for you. I’ve always been convinced that, if a Canadian awoke in the night to find you burgling his house, he’d offer to help. He’d hate you to hurt your back, carrying that big heavy TV all by yourself.

This near-pathological niceness, however, does have a downside. I’m certain it’s why Canada has fallen for gender ideology harder than any other country. Canadians’ eagerness to please has left them hopelessly vulnerable to the #BeKind mantra.

As a result, they sometimes do and say some very silly things. For proof, see the story this week about the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation, whose members have issued a tearful public apology – for organising a “magical-themed forest walk” inspired by Harry Potter.
