Justin Trudeau Resigns

[UtopiaPlanitia]

Well, this is a surprise (to me) - I don't keep on top of Canadian media these days, as I find it a monoculture, so all I knew was that Trudeau was very unpopular but had no idea that there was a possibility he'd be resigning ahead of the election.

Being able to post a billboard in support of the world’s most famous author without losing your job.

Or being taken to a Kafkaesque fitness to practice tribunal.

Bonar Law was the one born in New Brunswick. Campbell-Bannerman was Scottish.

Being able to hold an event in a library focussing on women’s sex based rights.

Having a rape crisis centre that centres actual women without having a dead rat nailed to the door.

You'd think they'd look at the recent US Presidential election and wonder. But maybe not.

Poilievre might be taking notes, however.

Being able to hold an event in a library focussing on women’s sex based rights.

Having a rape crisis centre that centres actual women without having a dead rat nailed to the door.

Being able to operate a women's intimate waxing service as a lone female, without being forced to accept to wax the balls of ludicrous males clearly trying it on for compo.

Peter Zeihan saw this coming and did a very short piece about it (10 mins) in December. He is a US based demography specialist who also comments on politics, energy, etc

Being in a female only prison after the passing of federal bill C-16, and avoiding males like Adam Laboucan, Patrick Pearsall, Matthew Hawks.

Being in a women’s only refuge shelter and not be sexually assaulted by people like Christopher Hambrook, or being kicked out for complaining about males being there.

Great place for women, Canada. Not lacking any rights at all🙄

Ha! I was going to say having the right to refuse to wax the balls of anyone regardless of how they identify.

This is Canada:

I suspected I was wrong! Should have checked. Thanks! 😓

That is brilliant 😂

That was very interesting, thanks for posting 👍

I want to fully understand why Trudeau has pulled a Boris and has prorogued the Canadian Parliament.

To my mind, normally, when a PM resigns and announces their intention to call for an election, a parliament should be dissolved and an election campaign started. But now all parliamentary business is completely suspended until March and that strikes me as undemocratic manoeuvring in favour of the Liberals to allow them to get their leadership competition out of the way before an election. Seems unfair to the other parties to do that. It also seems a bit pointless too because if the Liberals are going to be ousted by the electorate, with whom they are polling badly, I don’t think a new face at the helm during an election campaign is going to be of much use to them.

Am I missing something about this prorogation?

Yeah I seriously doubt the government put a dead rat on the floor of a rape crisis centre. Seriously.

A picture really does paint a thousand words.

Clinton style neoliberalism dressed up in a fancy rainbow ribbon. I have a friend in Vancouver who sent me photos of the enormous tent city not that far from the glitzy hotels and apartment blocks. Like a war zone or a UN refugee camp in some strife torn hell hole. ' my son is out there somewhere ' she wrote. Heartbreaking.

Shame on Trudeau for this alone. Quite apart from the assault on women's and children's rights and safety.

Then comparatively (as Canada ranks among the highest for women’s rights in the world) I wouldn’t live anywhere else.

Yea always room to improve but if you seriously think that Canada doesnt have sex based rights I can’t agree.

To put it another way, why do so-called "progressive" politics override female, sex-based rights?

You asked
'What rights do Canadian women not have under the most liberal prime minister in history ?'
and you got your answers handed to you on a plate.

Nobody is suggesting that posters think that Trudeau and his ministers were personally running round nailing dead rats to refuge doors - seriously?

But women's sex-based rights - as detailed in many previous posts - have been lost in the course of Trudeau's time in office, and 'the most liberal prime minister and government in history' did nothing to protect them, quite the contrary in fact.

There obviously isn't a direct line from that sort of attitude at governmental level to anti-women incidents involving dead rats, but they are informed by the same idea that biological women have no specific rights.

Yeah I seriously doubt the government put a dead rat on the floor of a rape crisis centre. Seriously.

You don't understand what any of these comments are about, do you?

Yea always room to improve but if you seriously think that Canada doesnt have sex based rights I can’t agree.

Canada does not have sex based rights. It has gender based rights. Canada says TWAW and so has men in women's prisons, rape crisis centers, yadda yadda. If Canada had sex based rights women would be allowed a space based on their sex. They are not.

I love that out of all the examples given the only rebuttal we got was this 🤣

'I seriously doubt the government put a dead rat on the floor of a rape crisis centre. Seriously.'

Don't forget that the 5th largest killer of Canadians is Assisted Suicide, thanks to the progressive's.

Exactly! And there was a helpfully-posted link in the thread to a newspaper article discussing the incident - so that article either wasn’t read or wasn’t comprehended and a sarcastic disbelieving response was given priority over factual discussion 🤷‍♀️
