Insanity reigns

So, now a school board in Toronto -- of course -- has banned the word "chief" in occupational titles.  How completely insane and bonkers!!??  And it was the decision of a woman, unfortunately, who thought the term derogatory to natives, so has forbade its use.  Why are we our own ludicrous worst enemies?? 

OMG!  What an insult to natives to think they would find a homonym for a word they use offensive.  Reminds me of when "man" was banned.  B sarcastically suggested in a meeting in the PCO no less that henceforth "chairman" should be changed to "chairperson", "Germany" to "Gerpersony" and "manhole" cover to "personhole" cover.  "Chairperson" was actually adopted, although I preferred "chairman" or "chair", but the others thankfully have not appeared.  Yet.  Stay tuned!

People have gone insane with political correctness!

And to top it off, another school board in Toronto has issued a directive that Halloween costumes must be politically correct.  The official didn't say "politically correct", but that's what it amounts to when no costume can depict a visible minority, fake terrorist or any other specific group.  Great!  Kids will now be going out on Halloween dressed as.....themselves.

How pathetic.

And what have I been banging on about the woeful state of the Missing Women's Inquiry?  How pointless it all is.  Yet another commissioner has resigned amid chaos.  But will Carolyn Bennett pull Marion Bullard?  Not on your life.  The whole thing is a pointless, useless and expensive mess -- a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing.

More insanity emerged when an immigration lawyer -- what else -- voiced loud objections to a questionnaire illegal immigrants sneaking into Canada are asked to fill out.  Imagine!  Some of the questions pertain to religion and whether the criminal entrants belong to any specific group, or would object to working for a woman.  Apparently, it's all anti-Muslim.  The whole thing is dumb because no one is going to admit to anything anyway, but the questionnaire has been pulled so G-d knows who's slinking across the border.

Oh Canada!
