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."

I don't know what Trump's got to do with it. He certainly has plenty of faults and things you can criticise, but lack of straight talking on gender ideology isn't one of them. He is on the side of truth on this one. That shouldn't be hard, but apparently it is in far too many countries and for far too many 'journalists'.

Trump has pushed back against calling men women. He's also taken steps to protect children from medical experimentation and protect women's sports.

Arguably people lying and trying to coercively control and force others to lie about biological sex of criminals is one of the reasons people voted for Trump.

Interesting. What a shame Trump's great work for women and children didn't extend far enough to stop him getting involved with Epstein.

Mum was ultimately supportive by the looks of it. There are some very badly aging social media posts by her floating around.

Please, please can we avoid the patronising use of "Mum".

DeanElderberry · 12/02/2026 08:33

I was trying to rationalise it as that being the age he was first treated for psychological issues, but then realised that ' he is seriously mentally unwell and full of rage and has started fires more than once, let's give him a gun and teach him to shoot it' makes NO sense.

But as @Helleofabore said, who knows which quotes are real?

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

Yes, it once again highlights the continued confusion caused by the government refusing to clarify the SC judgement. 'Female' is most definitely a biological category(and so is 'woman'), not an identity label.

It is an informal term, for certain...but why is "mum" patronising?

I deplore Trump for many reasons, but as much of American (and European) high society was involved with Epstein, it would be odd if he wasn’t. And he does seem to have broken significant ties some decades ago, though possibly for relatively trivial reasons (“poaching staff”).

Trump is a gender Conservative. He believes women should conform to gender stereotypes (“I’ve never seen you smile” ugh!). He just knows people can’t change sex and he can use this issue to own the libs.

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.

Yeh an 18 year old woman with “mental health issues”. The guardian should be ashamed of themselves.

I think there has been a misunderstanding of the use of ‘mum’. Here it is short for ‘the mother’ but I think the assumption is that it has been used in the ‘would mum like a cup of tea’ sense when it is used instead of ‘you’ or a name.

Bikechic · 12/02/2026 08:55

I looked at bbc last night and it did say that killer was born male and identified as female. Tbh the thing i found most disturbing was the way the victims were described. 'Adult female, 39'. It sounds so clinical and cold. Whats wrong with saying 'a 39yo woman'?

Abhannmor · 12/02/2026 08:55

I have a family member who has become a full on conspiracy head since the COVID Lockdowns. The flat out lying by so much of the media on this issue is meat and drink to him of course. You can't trust the mainstream media he says.

And this crap confirms it for him. So it's back to YouTube podcasters who tell him stuff he wants to be true. Sigh.

I'm not sure that is even true, Yes, his wife presents in a stereotypically, glamorous 'feminine way' and he is obviously heterosexual, but his closest aide ( Susie Wyles) is female, as are many of his senior colleagues. His daughter was also a key advisory figure for him.

CompetitionMyArse · 12/02/2026 08:57

Shall we start taking bets on the likelihood that it comes out in time that this person was also on the austism spectrum? I'd put my house on it.

No.

How about "his mother"? Normally if someone writes about "Mum" they're talking about their own mother, given that it's weird to use affectionate diminutives for anyone else's mother. The exception tends to lie with professional people discussing a child, when they refer to the child's mother as "Mum" because they can't be bothered to remember her name.

I think that's a very north American thing TBF. I hate hearing women described as 'females' unless I'm in a biology lesson.

ThreeWordHarpy · 12/02/2026 08:58

So, it’s becoming clear that this was a young man with a long history of various mental health issues. A classic example of the phenomenon of being trans because he was “vulnerable”, and not “vulnerable” because he was trans.

As such, the Canadian authorities determination to use this young man’s preferred identity completely obscures the real reason for the shooting. This was not a very rare shooting by a young woman, as many people will think after mainstream media headlines. This was the latest in an endless line of shootings by deeply disturbed young men. It’s utterly enraging that even in death he is controlling the narrative and dominating over his victims.

He is 18, so he 'transitioned' at 12 - not implausible at all, given how schools are so willing to change names, pronouns, oblige teachers and students to go along with the new gender identity; presumably even moreso in Canada.

Is it significant that the children he killed, including his stepbrother, were all around the age he transitioned at - 11, 12 and 13?

A gender-confused 12 year old deserves loving support to accept who he is, not sold a lie about being able to change his sex.

There was a Canadian woman trying to get her school district to slightly modify their "humans can actually change sex" teachings for her 6-8(?) year old girl. (Around the same time as the State was ruling on a scrotum wax being a female beauty treatment) Ironically her girl was confused and upset by the school teaching her the idea that she could change to "become" a boy.

The mother was being fought all the way and was beginning the process of having to suing at the State level so I would say the Canadian school system is captured on transgendeism policy.

I will use the words I feel comfortable with thanks.

(And don't make any assumptions on his sexuality from what's rumoured about "bubba")..

It wouldn't surprise me at all if even the witness's testimonies were edited to ensure being on message with pronouns.

Orwellian. Bring it all down, so damaging to women and children.

YourNavyFinch · 12/02/2026 09:04

@RedToothBrush I agree broadly but I do wonder if some of these cases autism has been misdiagnosed..some elements are outwardly similar to developing psychopathy. I.e. appearing aloof, not interested in friendships, disregard for rules. Autistic individuals often lack cognitive empathy so can upset people unintentionally and struggle to grasp social conventions. Psychopaths do so deliberately because it's about control.
