More Canadian madness

There most certainly is plenty of "that nonsense " in Quebec and the whole of Canada..... and the UK and Spain and Germany and etc etc

You may not be seeing reports about it, but it's there.
I'd suggest a site to look at if your brave enough? But you'll have to figure out which site by yourself. If you want.

I guess the days when the ACLU, in the person of David Goldberger, fought for the rights of Nazi's to march, are long forgotten.

I'm not sure what journalistic integrity is supposed to mean in 2024,because it has nothing to do with the ethics journalists were actually supposed to uphold.

I live in Quebec and honestly there's none of that nonsense over here

Oooh one of my posts with names in has been removed, wonder if the other post with one name will also be removed. It's almost as if certain men have something to hide, I wonder what it could be???

This must have been a different occasion...last year. ( from the Toronto Sun)

This is the board for discussions on sex and 'gender'. It is well established as a place for women to meet and discuss the issues around gender ideology and its impact upon women and children. For many years it was the only place.

You might well be happier on another board if you are not open to discuss this most fundamental issue - without making personal accusations and slurs against other women.

All they have is 'she's a nazi/right wing/extremist'. It must be pretty depressing.

And the not so fragrant veronica ivy

I just said I didn't believe the story and I have serious issues with the source of the story. Then I got attacked personally.

Well, yes, when you attacked someone personally - particularly a woman who many of us know from following for years is incredibly brave and reliable - you got pushback.

You don't get to whinge about being "attacked personally" after the things you wrote on this thread.

The personal attack was the "you're telling on yourself here"; not asking me to reflect (but being fairly vague about which part of what I wrote that I needed to reflect on). I engaged in good faith -- I just said I didn't believe the story and I have serious issues with the source of the story. Then I got attacked personally. I will try to remember to stay off the feminist threads. It's a little echo chambery in here. See ya.

I also think journalistic integrity is important.

You can only dream of having as much journalistic integrity as Reduxx, or Slatz. Either you're incredibly uninformed about their track record, or you're just trolling.

The article above seems to have no bearing on Reduxx or Slatz's reliability, unless the claim is that she is supposed to have misrepresented the neo-Nazi in question or made up something false about him? I don't see anything like that.

I didn't get from the article that she's a 'sympathizer'. More that she supports freedom of speech.

This is uncomfortable when what is being said is grim, but I'd rather know what people's views are than have the press censor it.

Then what is wrong with my pointing out that I doubt the veracity of this story because the editor of Reduxx has many past instances of lacking journalistic integrity, which include that she is a neo nazi sympathizer? Why is that telling on myself? Why am I being personally attacked for being critical of the news source of this story?

As above, the invitation was to reflect on the latter part of your previous comment.

It's a shame that you didn't understand that or affect not to understand it.

By the by, I could affect to wonder if you're in favour of the scenario outlined in the OP but that would be absurd. I choose to believe that you're engaging with some degree of good faith.

I think it holds up to a nanosecond of scrutiny, sure. https://www.buzzfeed.com/ishmaeldaro/the-baron-nsclrp

I invite you to reflect on the content of the latter part of your content and consider whether it holds up to a nanosecond of scrutiny.

ETA: Just to reiterate, I'm not in favour of adult males showering with young children in the setting described above, whether or not the adult is clad in a bikini or more clothing.

I have read the comments and I take some of your points but I also think journalistic integrity is important. I don't like neo nazi apologists -- is that not allowed on the feminist board? Okay...

Anna Slatz is a neo nazi apologist

You gave it away too soon.

I know people who work at parks and rec and they take this kind of thing very seriously. They would remove the guy and call the cops.

Really?

The first email from Bree Dobler, the assistant manager of the recreation centre, says
"..the District of Saanich welcomes and celebrates diversity, and we encourage visitors to our Recreation Facilities to use the restroom or changeroom with which they identify and where they feel most safe."

Her second email says "…everyone’s gender identity and expressions are valid. Everyone is welcome in our centres in the changeroom where they feel most safe. Gender expression and identity is protected under BC’s Human Rights Code and we are proud to have a Diversity in Changerooms Policy in our centres."

So tell me, do you really think the staff would have removed the guy and called the cops?

Canada, the home of the fragrant Stefonknee Wolscht.

Reduxx have been proven consistently right and take accuracy seriously. Just because they are doing this on a shoestring doesn't mean they are less worthy. They break key stories which the mainstream outlets repeat. Amy is well known as a local hero of course people would come to her with a story about this kind of thing. One hopes that most places would stop this behaviour but maybe this location is fully captured. Maybe the management is dodgy. As the report says something similar happened in another town.

There is a good Canada election thread here. The Liberals are screwed, but how far the Conservatives will push back on gender remains to be seen. A lot want to fight back for sure. The main change will be the lack cover from federal government for whatever abuses the genderists are up to I suspect. I think the awful stuff we hear about from Canada is only the tip of the iceberg.
