Clearly I’ve yet to learn how to quote! Grin

So Canada has created this ultra-woke mythology about itself, but the reality is very, very different.

I lived and worked there for a stint and have family there. They don't see themselves as woke at all, they see themselves as nice, which is a very different thing. Most Canadians are pretty conservative, even if they vote otherwise.

Re: Yaniv - Can only hope that the continued vexatious complaints will result in Yaniv being banned from raising any further complaints.

In a just world, JY would be excluded from a room with children changing simply based on the fact that JY is an obvious paedo who wants to talk to young girls about inserting tampons.

BenoneBeauty · 26/10/2020 21:56

Another who never thought I'd be rooting for a beauty pageant. Jessica Yaniv is a vile bully and I can't believe that there isn't some law to prosecute Yaniv for all their time wasting court cases and bullying tendencies.

WickedWestieWitch · 26/10/2020 22:04

I don't I've ever seen the phrase "male genitals" in an article so often ever in my life! Seems like the Canadian woke brigade are beginning to realise all might not be rosy in the garden of total male inclusion?

nepeta · 26/10/2020 22:07

Yaniv is the gift which keeps on giving. Yaniv's actions are of course completely logical consequences of the most extreme trans activist arguments but nobody was supposed to take this to such extremes.

No Canada is brilliant at making wokey-woke noises about making amends to first nations people

Literally just came out of lurkdom to say you dropped this:

And more recently this:

Trudeau was a drama teacher before he was an MP. Everything he does is theatrics, no substance. Oh...unless it’s trans anything. He makes sure that gets passed tout suite.

The Post Millenial is a right wing news site - think somewhere between the Express and the Sun, as far as I can gather. And the Canadian right - the sort who voted for Harper - are anything but woke.

The problem is that the Canadian right are also science denying, climate-change denialist, anti free-speech authoritarians. (Under the Harper goverment, all government scientists in Canada were gagged from speaking not only to the media, but even at scientific conferences, without first having their contributions vetted by Harper's political commissars).

So Canada is in the unenviable position of flipping between ultra-woke (but corrupt) liberals and full-on right wing authoritarians (also corrupt). It's not quite in the Trump v. Biden league yet, but that's not saying much.

CaraDuneRedux · 26/10/2020 22:15

@Asmallyellowfruit - ah yes, those as well.

I do get the impression from my Trudeau worshipping friends that some of this (at least) comes from the Harper government being so bloody awful that they'll hold their noses and clap the telescope to their blind eye over just about anything bad that happens on Trudeau's watch because they think the alternative would be so much worse.

Trudeau's somehow clinging on with a minority government, but I think he'll go at the next election.

Er, not even close. While the recent Conservative leadership has tried to ape some of the insane US right wing tactics, it (thankfully) hasn't taken off in the majority of the country. The Liberals (Trudeau) are much closer to centre, despite Trudeau's showmanship and the few odd policies. The NDP are the most 'left' of the three main parties but no one would call them 'woke'.

Canadians tend to vote for policy over party. The country very much benefits from not having a Fox News/Murdoch influence driving divisive politics.

Yaniv and beauty contests, beauty contests and Yaniv. What is there to say, except the obvious: A plague on both their houses!

FairFridaythe13th · 27/10/2020 00:21

Are we sure they aren’t a conceptual artist or a comedy character like Borat or Mrs Merton? That would be the only reasonable explanation.

NoCureForLove · 27/10/2020 00:34

I know I shouldn't ... but this has made me laugh. A lot. Grin

CoolYourBeansMySon · 27/10/2020 00:46

Yaniv doesn't want to take part in a beauty pageant. Yaniv wants to be in the changing room where young girls are changing to take part in the beauty pageant. That is the issue here.

Yes. That's why I can't find any humour in this, I'm afraid.
SunsetScreech · 27/10/2020 07:19

Yaniv may look and aften act like a weird, bumbling idiot. But Yaniv is still a predator.

JacobReesMogadishu · 27/10/2020 07:23

How is this person not in prison? Last I heard they’d been arrested for possession of weapons? Ages ago.

NoCureForLove · 27/10/2020 07:36

You are right of course. It's a mistake to laugh when it's dangerous.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 27/10/2020 07:47

Yaniv doesn't want to take part in a beauty pageant. Yaniv wants to be in the changing room where young girls are changing to take part in the beauty pageant.

I think it's both. Yaniv likes the attention, negative as much as positive, as well, and particularly forcing people to validate. The second part is the most concern, though, absolutely.

@vivariumvivariumsvivaria

Doesn't Stef-o-knee also live in Canada?

Wonder who the second trans entry is for a beauty pageant which is open to little girls?

That would be a good thing in my view. It would make millions go WTAF?

highame · 27/10/2020 08:14

Case will get kicked out. Shame really because this is the sort of stuff that takes the grey out of a dull day Grin

FairFridaythe13th · 27/10/2020 08:44

I thought they and their mum had threatened to move to Israel?

tattooedmummy1 · 27/10/2020 08:45

Oh, Jonathan. Smh.

ArabellaScott · 27/10/2020 09:41

I'm not laughing. But Canada needs to deal with it's mess. This type of thing is precisely what their laws have catered for. And it's precisely what feminists warned them of. I very much hope that the beauty pageant finds a way to ensure that women and girls are protected from known predators, but to be honest, they've made it very hard to do so.

Is there a mechanism? Anyone? Can a known predator be excluded? We know it doesn't work in prison - known sex offenders, violent ones, will still be admitted to women's shelters and prisons and remand housing.

Whatwouldscullydo · 27/10/2020 10:06

My guess is they know they will have to place him in a womens prison and abolish the mother and baby program while they are there. .
