Mass Shooting in Tumbler Ridge Canada

[fromorbit]

Looks like it was a man in a dress. Another tragedy. More lives lost. Boys with violent tendencies cannot be told they are actually girls. The violent background of trans activism is a problem.

BREAKING

The identity of the Tumbler Ridge shooter can now be confirmed as Jesse “Jess” Strang.

Strang is a biological male who started to “identify” as a "girl" around 2023.

Strang was raised in a family that valued hunting, and began learning how to shoot rifles when he was just a child. Many guns were kept in the family's residence.

Facebook posts from his mother indicate he may have struggled with behavioral issues, including violent tendencies, from a very young age.

Strang fatally shot 10 people prior to taking his own life.

In 2021, Strang launched a YouTube channel that was promoted by his mother on her Facebook. The channel was dedicated to "hunting, self-reliance, guns" and his other interests. At some point, Strang deleted the content on the channel and changed his handle from "Jesse Boy" to "JessJessUwU." The only remaining post on the channel was made 6 months ago and reads "I've been pretty, um, aimless."

Great analysis as normal. The attempt to do a coverup of these cases is failing.

'Reducing a murderous tragedy to pronouns'
Coverage of the Tumbler Ridge murders - just give us the facts.

Feb 11, 2026
Don’t mistake us. Those of us who called for the authorities and the media for clarity on the sex of the killer at Tumbler Ridge are not minimising the deaths of nine people in one of Canada’s deadliest mass shootings. We’re saying it’s what happens when the information is withheld.

As Gerald Posner clarifies:

‘This is not a minor semantic dispute. In high-profile crimes, accurate reporting matters. Biological sex is a data category used in criminology, public policy, and statistical analysis. Erasing it, or substituting identity categories without clarity, distorts public understanding’

It means that instead of analysing - again - what leads people to commit heinous crimes like this, and whether sex, or factors around trans identification could have been a driver, we are wasting time trying to find out whether the killer was a man at all, never mind whether he identified as the opposite sex. Legacy media will address neither.

The BBC used to say they'd rather wait and be last with the news, but get it right, rather than be first and get it wrong. This was what was meant to distinguish them from reactionary tabloids/ social media - they were slow but reliable. They never apply this to gender. And then they have the brass neck to complain people are getting their news from social media now.

Only on MN. In the real world the immediate thought is ‘God help the victims and their families’.

If you follow the reporting links, you'll see, by the comments, that in the real world, people are very much concerned about the covering up the sex of this killer.

Especially as many people believe that this ideology seems to attract, or produce, violent, angry, woman hating men.

This knowledge and concern in no way detracts from the grief over the victims. It's horrifying.

Some cross dressing men are incredibly dangerous. These are facts. We need to talk about them.

As the UN notes Canada has form.

Reem Alsalem UNSR Violence Against Women and Girls

As I said in my report to the Human Rights Council in June 2025: "Particularly concerning is the fact that in a number of countries, such as.... Canada .... the judiciary and the media call male perpetrators of violence by their self-declared gender identity, thereby also skewing the rates of male and female offending. Since women commit a very low number of violent crimes, ....even small variations can have statistically significant effects. Those statistical anomalies have been detected already in Canada.... Neutral approaches to sex and gender also enforce victim blaming of women, minimize abuse, enforce male privilege and affect the ability of State and other actors to identify and define violence against females as primarily male violence, rendering it more difficult to combat."

Meanwhile the British Columbia Teacher's Federation is trying to evade the issue:

Quoting myself here, because as predicted, it's started.

Just seen this on tiktok this morning from an account called 'Charity'.

'To Conservatives in Canada:

This is not a time to vilify a marginalised group of people. Instead, use this tragedy to better understand the struggles of people that you choose to invalidate daily for being who they are.'

Ahh, so it's our fault.

@CompetitionMyArsei came here before reading any news or social this morning but the last thing I said last night to DH was this will somehow be our fault, JK will get a battering at some point, #bekind will be splattered everywhere like confetti it’s just sick

Both BBC News and Sky News last night said the killer was female. Both described him as 'her'. Sky News even added a disclaimer that female mass killers like this are rare

guessing they aren’t adding that the crime stats for men in women’s clothes tracks at the same rate as all male crimes? Worded that badly but it’s early

I mean, that’s not him. But never let the truth get in the way of a good story eh?

I just read an article in the guardian and my jaw dropped when I read that it was an 18 year old woman. Wow, I thought, how surprising. But then I read on…

Honestly. This kind of reporting has to stop.

Just had a brief look at the rag type newspapers thinking they or more likely to tell the truth on this subject. The Mirror reports 'shot herself', The Sun at least specifies born a male but started to transition to female.

BBC this morning

BBC radio 4 news headline just talked about the suspect without using pronouns and then said that they were born male but identified as a woman.

Last night, Channel 4 and 5, ITV and BBC were all reporting it was a female shooter. It has now taken 24 hours for the BBC to change their story. What a disgusting organisation they are. BBC "Verify", is that some kind of sick joke?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce8w95knp55o

The issue and confusion is that Canadian authorities are using the term female. So reporters can pick and choose to an extent.

The bbc are now being accurate and clarifying to a degree but still quoting the term female. So now the term female can only be accurate if coupled with biological.

which is ridiculous imo

As soon as you announce you’re ‘female’ or whatever you call yourself people fall into line and you become whomever you say are.
i was selling women’s clothes online recently and received a photo in my selling inbox of a beared man in what would be traditionally known as women’s clothes , as though to prove his femme credentials.
obviously I hadn’t requested this ‘evidence’

Fucking hell. Emperors new clothes .
i guess when we live in a world where trump is a world leader, anything can and does happen.

Only on MN would some choose to blame women for standing up strong for being publicly blamed for crimes they did not commit.

Shame on those posters.

From a post above: there’s a “transguns” Reddit? WTF?

The coercive control abuse element is so clear.

Killer gets to dictate how everyone speaks, even in death. The ideology both attracts and creates abusers.

The victims don't get to declare an identity - no-one bothers to ask - but are categorised according to sex without any comment on how the reporting is using different language for killer and victims. 'Gender' for killer, suddenly when it comes to the victims sex is recognised. Even though sex is important when it comes to the killer - sex is a predictor of who commits these kind of crimes, males are hugely, disproportionately more likely to commit these crimes.

People in Canada are under totalitarian control on this issue. Good for international news outlets like Al Jazeera who report what the Canadian authorities say then say 'the sex of the shooter has not been confirmed'. Because sex matters in murder and mass murder. And journalists elsewhere in the world are not afraid to report on this.

If you look at the comments on X under Trudeau's post, most Canadians are angry about the lies - they just don't have many routes to complain because they'll be punished if they recognise the gaslighting, the primacy given to killer over victims, the inability to name reality, the obfuscation of sex. But only when it comes to the killer, of course.

The bbc article is saying in the first couple of paragraphs that he was "born a biological male" (ridiculous phrase as he is obviously still a "biological male", or "man", an easier term to understand). But the guardian calls him a woman at the outset, in the first paragraph, and doesn't mention anything related to his sex until 11 paragraphs in. So wrong.

And they write that police “identified the suspect as they chose to be identified” in public and in social media. So a mass murderer 's choice to pretend to be something he isn't is more important than truth in reporting the facts of this crime?

Sorry, I dont know why my phone did that

This is a great way to put it and summarises what's going on very neatly. All those news outlets colluding with this massive lie should hang their heads in shame.

In Sweden the big daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter has gone with straight out lies, reporting the gunman as ‘a woman’ with no mention of the fact that he was actually male:

They also use a passive tense for what happened to most of the victims. ‘Were killed’ or ‘died’ instead of ‘he killed’.

Men’s fantasy lives remain the most important thing in the world.
