Watching Western Civilisation Go Off Of a Cliff

Train wreck in progress ...

A woman who thinks that she is a man is livid that a Catholic hospital (which people should have guessed by now) will not remove a healthy organ for fun:

A transgender man sued a Roman Catholic hospital on Thursday, saying it cited religion in refusing to allow his surgeon to perform a hysterectomy as part of his sex transition.

Jionni Conforti’s sex and gender discrimination lawsuit comes as new regulations hailed as groundbreaking anti-discrimination protections for transgender people are under legal attack from religious groups.

Conforti had scheduled the surgery at St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center in Paterson in 2015. He says a hospital administrator told him the procedure to remove his uterus couldn’t be done because it was a “Catholic hospital.”

 

Also:

MEP Christine Anderson has expressed her support for a 16-year-old Canadian who has been barred from attending his Catholic high school because he says he won’t stop expressing his belief that God made only two, immutable genders.

“Josh Alexander is only 16 [years] … old and already he’s got it figured out: Freedom, democracy and the rule of law need defending,” Anderson said on Twitter Feb. 21. She said he is “a very impressive young man who’s earned my respect and support.”

Anderson, who expressed strong support for the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa that protested of vaccine mandates last year, embarked on a Canada-wide tour this month. Her first stop was a Feb. 20 meeting with Convoy organizer Tamara Lich and other prominent Convoy supporters.

Anderson’s tweet included a video clip of her on a stage with Alexander at a rally. Alexander is part of a group called Save Canada, which describes itself as a Christian youth organization that stands for Christian values and liberty, and Alexander often attends and speaks at rallies.

In the video, Anderson said to Alexander, “This is exactly what we need. Young people standing up for what they believe in.” She gave him a hug and said, “You are actually our hope. You are the one that is giving us our hope.”

 

The truth is that everyone is furious that he is not drinking the Kool-Aid.

 

It's called censorship:

Advocates for the print and digital media industry say Google is disrespecting Canadian readers by temporarily blocking news to some of its users.

News Media Canada president Paul Deegan says the action is unbecoming of the leading global company.

 

It's becoming of a government that benefits from the obstruction of information and media into Canada.

Bill C-11, everyone. It is not a singular act of censorship.

The Ottawa Public Library (OPL) has moved classic children’s books that regularly receive “racism” complaints into an “adult collection,” according to an annual report.

On Thursday, the Ottawa Public Library Board will receive the Intellectual Freedom Annual Report: 2022 Challenges which summarizes the library’s handling of issues related to democratic rights. 

In the discussion section of the report, the OPL writes that “racist language and images were the most frequent concerns, accounting for 11 of the 25 requests” submitted to the library. 

The Dr. Seuss book If I Ran the Zoo and the French-language Hergé book Tintin en Congo regularly led to complaints from the public. 

“Of the nine adult book challenges, four were for Dr. Seuss and Hergé (Tintin bandes dessinées, known as ‘BD’) titles that were previously in the children’s collection and were moved to the adult collection in the last five years, including two challenges for Tintin en Congo,” the OPL explained. 

“There is sustained interest and concern regarding the works of these classic children’s authors. The Dr. Seuss title (If I Ran the Zoo) is no longer in print.”

 

If parents wanted to, they would simply go to the adults' section and take out the books.

So much for one's sudden and selective outrage. 

(Sidebar: why not remove such offending items? Who knows?) 

Remember - the same people who handed thousands of dollars to a very vocal Jew-hater want to control what you see on the Internet. I doubt they see a problem with the weeding of a particular book.

 

Also - the French say "non!" to plucking the words from Dahl's books:

French publisher Gallimard said it had no intention of making changes to translated versions of children’s books by the late British novelist Roald Dahl, unlike the author’s UK publisher.

“Change a text today without (the author’s) consent? No,” Hedwige Pasquet, director of Gallimard Jeunesse, said in an interview with Le Figaro newspaper.

 

 

Why would the University of Toronto want to paint aboriginals as lazy?:

A University of Toronto (U of T) Indigenous knowledge workshop on time management taught students how to resist a “colonial productivity culture”, according to a university blog post.

The workshop was part of the university’s “Sweetgrass Series”, a set of three events that “use Indigenous Knowledge as a framework for Academic Success.” ...

“The colonial concept of time emphasizes outcomes and productivity, and this can lead to a lot of guilt when spending time on activities that don’t lead to a ‘productive’ outcome,” wrote the student.

She said that the workshop suggested that students use “colonial tools of time management” such as calendars and schedules “to create time for personal wellbeing,” and that “this can actually be an act of resistance against colonial productivity culture.”
