When even Prime Minister Justin Trudeau thinks your Pride event is too aggressively weird and disruptive, it’s probably time to reconsider. Instead, Ottawa’s Capital Pride doubled down on its berserk anti-Israeli views, because ideas have consequences and bad ideas have terrible ones.
It’s a win for Trudeau IMHO.
He gets to pretend he supports Israel but in fact he’s really appeasing the Muslims he covets who don’t approve of him prancing about at Pride Parades.
Students at a number of Catholic schools in York Region in the Greater Toronto Area held walkouts Thursday to demonstrate against the board’s recent decision not to fly the Pride flag outside of their headquarters during Pride month. But at one school, those protests took an unexpected turn.
Dozens of students participated in the walkout at St. Brother Andre in Markham.
“Everyone has a right to love who they want to love and I believe the York District Catholic School Board has infringed upon that,” said student Angelina Martin.
First I heard that failure to raise a flag is an infringement of your rights but over the top dramatics have long been the MO of groomers. They are so self-important the entire world is against them, 24/7. I don’t know how I find time to sleep at all!
There is video of the school protest at the link above, I am wondering if the students who trashed the groomer banners were Muslim or a Mix. It seems a closely held secret.
Note the mix of protesters in Ottawa in the video below. The alliance of Muslims and Christians against the groomers got its start in the US and it is scaring the bejeebers out of the left. This is not the intersectionality they had hoped for.

Justin Trudeau is going to find himself between a rock and a hard place real soon. While he and his party are in woke overdrive a segment of his voter base has had enough. pic.twitter.com/zxrF2zhAKK

Well at least he had an answer.

For many in the West, Jew-hatred is invisible and grossly misunderstood.
A furor over a British Labour Party politician tells us a great deal about the tsunami of Jew-hatred rolling across Britain, America and the West.
Diane Abbott, who in 1987 became Britain’s first black female member of parliament, caused widespread outrage last weekend when she wrote in TheObserver that Jews, Irish people and travelers don’t face racism but merely suffer the same level of prejudice as people with red hair. The only possible victims of racial prejudice, she suggested, are black people.
Traces of Nietzsche’s ideas are made manifest in intersectionality.
Much electronic ink has been spilled of late regarding the sources of the current radical movement sweeping the Western world. In countless popular articles and blogs, Karl Marx is often credited as the ancestral source of the current disorder, but there is another figure whose influence is at least as strong as that of the father of communism: Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche. The latter’s influence on the philosophical thought of two of the key architects in the shaping of the contemporary mind, the French postmodernist gurus Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida, was profound. The embrace and subsequent promulgation of deconstructionist ideas by university academics led to the widespread, if often indirect, dissemination of Nieztschean ideas among students as well as the general public.
Universalism is forced to coexist with diversity and inclusion; one has to agree that patriarchy, aristocracy and capitalism were evil unless they are not white. But deeper divides force progressives to either keep their eyes shut or risk becoming the oppressors.
For the last few decades, leftist thinkers have been working on bringing a word of their secular religion into every corner of society. Their efforts have spawned the ugly Hydra known as ‘intersectionality.’ For those unfamiliar with the concept of intersectionality, it aims to help people understand the ways that our society supposedly privileges and discriminates against people for multiple reasons. So, the logic goes, just as a person missing an arm and a leg will likely have a more difficult time in life than a person who is only missing an arm or is only missing a leg, a black woman will be more discriminated against than a white woman or a black man. While this may initially seem like a helpful way of approaching social problems, it ultimately becomes nothing more than the same tried-and-failed communist division of society into oppressors and oppressed.
In response to President Joe Biden’s June 2021 executive order, many federal agencies—from NASA to the Department of Defense—released plans to pursue diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in their day-to-day operations. In a recent comment on these efforts, one senior Defense Department official said he hopes “as many leaders and members of the total force as possible see [these] efforts as a force multiplier.”
In fact, DEI is a dangerous ideology—so dangerous that our leaders should regard it as a threat to national security, not an imperative of it. Many have already critiqued DEI as it appears in our nation’s universities. As Dorian Abbot and Ivan Marinovic recently explained, DEI violates ethical and legal principles of equality, compromises universities’ mission and undermines the public’s trust. When DEI is applied outside of higher education, such as within the federal government, these problems are exponentially worse, and for many reasons.
An upcoming Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) virtual learning symposium will teach teachers how to create “meaningful and reflective” territorial acknowledgements for their schools, as well as inform them what “intersectionality” is all about.
G. Tod Slone has written that “as a political ideology, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), has proven time and again to be against freedom, reason, and truth. Proponents of the ideology tend to be hypocrites and anti-white racists [.]”
In fact, DEI is also a pathway to anti-Semitism.
America’s woke Left lectures the rest of the population almost daily that racism is evil, and that they are the ones fighting it. Yet, their ugly and racist reactions to Senator Tim Scott’s (R-SC) speech demonstrate that the woke Left is no different from the very racists they condemn. The woke Left judges people and treats others differently based on the color of their skin, with particular hatred reserved for minorities who don’t embrace the woke ideology. The only difference between the skinheads and the woke Left is that the woke Left hides its racism under cover of nice-sounding words such as “fact-finding,” “equity,” “social justice” and, of course, “anti-racism.”

Though Caitlyn Jenner is one of the most famous transgender people in America, the announcement of her candidacy for California governor was greeted hostilely by one of the state’s largest LGBTQ-rights groups and by many trans activists around the country.
“Make no mistake: we can’t wait to elect a #trans governor of California,” tweeted the group, Equality California. “But @Caitlyn_Jenner spent years telling the #LGBTQ+ community to trust Donald Trump. We saw how that turned out. Now she wants us to trust her? Hard pass.”
In 2021, does Canada deserve better than uniforms that look like they were vandalized by angry teens with Sharpies? Not really
…This week marks six months since Floyd’s death, and protests continue in Portland. But now, activists in the city are divided as to whether they are still fighting in a racial justice movement centered on Black lives, or if an unfocused, anti-establishment fight against capitalism and state power has usurped the initial cause that brought thousands of Portlanders into the streets.
Instead of mass mobilizations focused on disrupting city streets and educating the public, recent protests draw a few dozen people who have regularly engaged in vandalism against such disparate targets as a Democratic Party office, the Oregon Historical Society and the Mexican consulate.
Their most recent action: a Friday protest that ended in vandalism to 27 businesses in the city, ranging from a smoke shop and food carts to a bank branch and an insurance company.
You’re a bigot.
