Mass Shooting in Tumbler Ridge Canada

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."

do you think I support them? I don’t.

Apologies for that, I meant to quote another person. That is the second time it has happened today. I will have another go at quoting the correct poster.

Exactly so. His beliefs about women are sick. And not in a Gen Z way.

What are your views on the Democrats trying to ruin sports for young girls and women in the USA? What are your views on Bill Clinton and high profile Democrats, taking dozens of trips on Epstein's private jet. the so called "Lolita Express"?

The comments from Stephanie Davies-Arai in this article should be a wake up call to anyone who believes ‘affirmation’ is the right way to deal with these children:

""There are genuine concerns among campaigners and health professionals that some vulnerable youngsters with mental health issues might be being led toward violence, thanks to the cocktail of cross-sex hormones they are being prescribed. “The number of shootings by trans-identified young people should be ringing alarm bells by now,” says Stephanie Davies-Arai of Transgender Trend, an organisation calling for evidence-based healthcare for children and young people suffering gender dysphoria. Davies-Arai says she is worried by the rise in these crimes."

“We know the children who identify as ‘trans’ are among the most vulnerable groups – some are highly disturbed. And yet we’re not investigating this, we’re told to simply ‘affirm’ them.

“As soon as a child declares they are ‘trans’, all underlying issues are ignored and the child is denied proper mental health care – in fact, the activists claim this would be ‘conversion therapy’.’’

Davies-Arai says she is concerned about what so-called “gender affirming care” is doing to the physical and mental health of these young people. Studies have found that there is a higher rate of suicide among trans people compared to the population at large.

What happens when we give mentally ill children blockers to disrupt their development and powerful cross-sex hormones their bodies were not built to function on? We need a proper investigation into the risks of giving young people large doses of the wrong sex hormone.

“We’ve seen too many violent suicides* *and mass shootings from young people who are either on these drugs, or have never received the therapeutic care they need and their mental health has grown worse and risk escalate[s]. We need to stop seeing affirmation of a child’s trans identity as ‘kind’ and recognise it as negligent.”"

I agree - but like him or not Trump has improved women's rights in the US in relation to gender woo from where they were prior to his election. That's just a fact.

I hate this so much. Yay, he knows what a woman is. And boy does he know how to treat them like shit too. He knows what a woman is - it's a gender stereotype that I can't subscribe to.

Trump treats women badly. No doubt.

BUT - old school sexism and misogyny which still dominates much of the world is an enemy that women have been fighting FOREVER.

A lot of victories have been won. This is an enemy which we are never going to stop altogether, but which in many Western countries has been pushed back massively.

Sexism 2.0 which pretends women are not biological and/or rebrands traditional exploitation as empowerment is an interconnected threat, but it also in a certain way more dangerous.

Because if you can't name sexism how do you stop it.

Trump's election is a step back, but it is interconnected with wider issues. He won partially because sexism 2.0 also terrifies people and they resorted to an old model to fight back rather than rejecting both.

We take all of them down, but there is NO WAY to win if the gender people get their way. Look what just happened in that EU vote.

Because their stuff is interconnected with modern life in corporations, education, media everywhere.

It is like the sexist ideas that dominated society prior to the 70s spread by religion and custom. Only you were allowed to say those ideas hurt women. Women literally took on Churches which dominated society forever and won because the churches have to admit women are a thing, even though they are second class.

If women exist they can fight back, and WIN. It has happened before. It is happening here on Terf Island bit by bit.

A point I saw on X. There have been only 11 mass shootings in Canada since the 70s. All of those were carried out by males including Tumbler Ridge.

So, as of now, the Canadian trans school shooter rate is 9.1%, while the 2021 Canadians census suggests that only 0.33% of Canadians are trans/non-binary.

A lot of the stats discussed focus on the US where there have been a spate of trans mass shootings in recent years amongst the huge number of other killings, but we should remember in Canada mass shooting is far more rare.

I think this too, but I also think after the uproar last year in regards to BBC reporting on 'birthing people' they are in a very precarious spot as they lost so many gender critical viewers. They'll likely be caught between a rock and a hard place as a captured institution that must appease the majority in order to stay relevant/in business.

It will.also follow what I would guess is a silence in Canadian media reports as they process and try to work out how to report without damage to current political orthodoxy.

WorriedMutha · 13/02/2026 09:12

Is there any evidence of a backlash in Canada since the shooting. This was a small town with a few thousand residents so everyone must know him and his history. Any chance of it breaking the silence/forcing a debate.

This is a good explanation.

I think quiet pushback against the old sexism is in our bones. It's not right, but women have had to do this forever. We passed it down to our daughters.

Sexism 2.0 is like living in a totalitarian regime. Something the women of the UK have less experience of. I'm told, by friends who grew up in actual totalitarianism, that in some ways this is worse, because at least they had free speech within the home. Sexism 2.0 grooms your daughters that your free speech means you wish them dead.

Neither old school or new school sexism can conceive of the actual emancipation of women. See how each side threatens women with the worst of the other side. Their only world views consist of women being owned by either one set of men, or the other. Like two grossly entitled children arguing over a toy.

Agreed. Women in the US have a difficult and awful situation.

Yet note even there is a lot of sexist nonsense on the Republican side that a lot of MAGA women are very outspoken, with power and far from traditional. Longterm past Trump the US right are going to be moving in different directions hopefully better ones.

The point is to give women agency and over time steps forward will be made. If you let women SPEAK then you get a better society.

Not perfect, but better. Women get the chance to have agency, to make choices both good and bad.

And consider how girls and women are encouraged to see.themselves as that toy and nothing more, all the ways women are denigrated by both sides remain tellingly similar.

'Unfuckable' remains the worst accusation either the left or the right can come up with about women, and the solutions posed by both sides fail to break free of that value system.

Almost every resident The Telegraph spoke to described how “everyone knows everyone here”. Yet, very few appear to have known or met the shooter, describing him as a recluse.

Several of Van Rootselaar’s neighbours said they had hardly seen him.

And neither side knows what to do with women who don't care if men think they are 'fuckable'.

Sexism 2.0 grooms your daughters that your free speech means you wish them dead. Neither old school or new school sexism can conceive of the actual emancipation of women.

The particularly evil aspect was weaponising children and young people. Hiding sexual gratification behind ‘but children’ (and cementing sexist stereotypes) whilst simultaneously encouraging division/conflict between parents and children making it easier to exploit them.

There is an edited book here with chapters written by various experts on different aspects of gender ideology. For example a chapter on the medical impacts of PBs, CSHs, surgery. One on the psychosocial impacts. One on AGP. Another tracking the backgrounds of men pushing the ideology. Another analysing the Denton report. Another on the impact of force teaming the LGB with the T. One by Sharron Davies on the impact on women’s sports. Pretty much all the evidence collected on the pages of FWR.

What else could be included?

Agree with this. There are some very powerful Republican women politicians and - unlike Democratic women politicians - they don't pretend men can become women. So they're freer and more powerful for that.

Trump's chief of staff is the first woman to hold that position. Bit of a lack of fanfare about that historical first - but it's important I think.

You can't really stand up for women's rights if men can be women. Abortion then becomes an issue that only affects some women (and not the important ones).

It is important to know the sex of the shooter - accurately. In order to tackle and prevent gun crime, crime of any sort we have to have an accurate picture of what is actually going on. We need information that is true.
If this incident is marked down as a female shooter then figures become skewed, and understanding the reasons behind crime become foggy and innacurate. Provision for police handling, incarceration, rehabilitation all need accurate figures of prisoner sex.
Less than 2% of mass shooters are women- and that really, really matters.Mass shooting is almost exclusively carried out by men, and that is a crucial piece of information.

Absolutely, but I don’t believe an erroneous early report in a news report will stop accurate statistic-gathering by the Canadian authorities. It wouldn’t be marked as a female crime.
