So, now we have Trudeau -- who is dropping like a stone in mainstream popularity -- pandering to the, let me get this straight, 'LGBTQ, Two-Spirit and intersex communities' -- with $100 million of our tax dollars to fight discrimination and support diversity.
Please, Gawd, no. Why does any self-sufficient group need public support? They don't, but they'll all vote Liberal as long as the money flows -- mark my words. Supporting one group leaves Canadians on the hook to support any other Trudeau, on a whim, decides needs money. This is the same guy who said we couldn't give more money to struggling and homeless Canadian vets because, "They are asking for more than we can afford right now." Gawd help us!
Remember when there were just two genders? Remember when there were just "straights" and "queers"? What was wrong with that? OK, maybe three, i.e., straight, gay and bi. But now we have......wait for it.....get out your pen and notebook....
- Two-Spirit
- Lesbian
- Gay
- Bisexual
- Transgender
- Queer,
- Intersex, and
- Additional sexually and gender diverse people
- 2SLGBTQI
According to our fearless, read "now fearful", leader this is all absolutely necessary to, "Break down barriers, advance rights and build a better future where everyone in Canada is truly free to be who they are and love whom (sic) they love."
Last time I checked, Canada was one of the freest and most diverse countries in the world. No one that I know, or read about, is denied anything because he/she is "2SLGBTQI". My own brother was gay, so I know of what I speak. No, folks, it's all about votes. I couldn't care less who is straight or who is queer. If they're qualified for a job, they get it.
There are Pride Parades in every major city in this country and people celebrate them with gusto. Where's the problem? (Although, I have to say that unfortunately Pride Parades have degenerated into porn, in my opinion, to such an extent that I could not bring my grandchildren to them to remember their late great-uncle, for example. Just too much porn.)
I predict Trudeau's latest move is going to backfire because people will resent public money being spent on this wild, marginal notion. We're going to see the usual backlash against anyone who pushes this agenda -- just as we did with the women's movement of the sixties. That's what happens with affirmative action; deep down, people don't like it. Anyone remember when Catherine McKenna, the failed cabinet minister of a few years ago, stated in the House that women should be given special treatment in the workplace just because they were women? Thankfully, Candace Bergen stood up and reamed her about that comment, saying it was insulting to women to be told they had to be pandered to.
I'm sick of affirmative action, but apparently, Chrystia Freeland isn't. A tough, seasoned trench-fighter herself who pulls no punches, Ms. Freeland is now upset that some guy in Grande Prairie heckled her. Really?! You're a politician, for Gawd's sake, and you ventured into Alberta where the Liberals are viscerally and passionately hated. Politics is a vicious blood sport and, by the way, you have lots of that symbolic red stuff on your own hands, Ms. Freeland.
Tom Mulcair spoke out against it, sort of, but he was the only one who dared. Everyone else clutched pearls and wrung hands about how mean it was. Apparently, the few words directed at Freeland have made the situation so dire, security has to be beefed up for female ministers. So pathetic.
To remind you of Ms. Freeland's own personality, manners, sensitivity and disregard for parliamentary decorum, here she is in the House clipping her toenails. Is Lametti thinking about arresting her for public indecency? Did the Speaker upbraid her? Rhetorical.
