Awesome essay -- many thanks, lots of grist for the mill there when I write to my [Canadian] MP about Trudeau's Bill. Though, en passant, it reminds me of a rather famous joke about JT's father -- also a Prime Minister for some 15 years, the infamous Pierre Elliott -- which describes the latter's response to a staffer's question, "What about this homosexuality bill?": "Pay it ..." 🥁 😉🙂
But of particular note is this item which is likely to figure centrally in that email to my MP:
JT: "“Trans women are women. We will always stand up to this hate – whenever and wherever it occurs.”
There's the smoking gun -- and the corpus delicti, still bleeding: Trudeau will charge with hate crimes those who say that transwomen are most certainly not women, that they are, at best, just guys in drag if they still have their nuts attached and sexless eunuchs if they don't. Somewhat apropos of which and ICYMI:
CBC: "Speaker kicks Poilievre out of the Commons after he calls [Justin Trudeau] PM a 'wacko' in tense question period exchange"
"wacko" is maybe being charitable as "batshit crazy" may be more accurate -- even if that's likely to "justify" my future incarceration for 20 years to life ...
However, while I think you're doing yeoman's work -- yeo-woman's work -- in holding the feet of Trudeau and his ilk to the fire, I kind of think you -- and far too many others -- are begging the question with this "unattributed [??]" quote:
SD: "We recognise that sex is binary, female and male, and that (for the vast majority of people) sex is determined at conception, observed at birth (or in utero), and recorded."
IF, as seems implied and for example, the veritable "essence" of "woman" is to have a vagina THEN exactly how much of a leg do you have to stand on when transwomen claim to have changed sex with their ersatz neo-vaginas? "Change your genitalia, change your sex! Act now! Offer ends soon!" 🤔🙄
Kinda think the fly in the ointment there is that too many are insisting that "sex is immutable!!" 🙄 -- a quite unscientific article of faith and mantra to match the TRA's "transwomen are women" -- and just as problematic. If one wants to put one's money on biology -- and a great many people seem to be wrapping themselves in that flag in this "debate" -- then the standard biological definitions for the sexes stipulate that to have a sex is to have functional gonads of either of two types, those with neither being, ipso facto, sexless. Technically speaking, no one has a "sex at birth", but most of us will ACQUIRE one at the onset of puberty.
For details, see my open letter to the erstwhile reputable biological journal Cell which had asked, apparently in all seriousness, "Is 'sex' a useful category?":
How quickly has we just want tolerance become kiss my arse of go to jail. I still have enough good faith to believe that this was never planned and the process of progressivism was hijacked by extremists somewhere along the way... I truly hope Canadians will slap this down. One Canadian I've become a big fan of is Eva Kurilova, and she has said the unsayable in a past article - that the explicit goal of this movement is destruction of Western civilization. I can find no other explanation that fits.
Although we can finally know what it felt like to be Chinese during the cultural revolution, which this is precisely an example of. Fortunately today's Woke Guards don't have the power to kill us. It seems the tide is turning however and this may just be the last overreach.
About the most charitable thing one might say about Trudeau is a quip attributed to another Canadian, William Stephenson -- "The Man They Call Intrepid": not knowing the difference between being high-minded and being soft-headed. Seems to fit JT to a T:
But, as mentioned, I'm sort of in the midst of writing to my Liberal MP about that "On-line Harms Act", and have already complained to Statistics Canada and several Conservative MPs about Stats Canada's policies on gender -- see my:
I've been thinking of publishing an open letter of what I had written to those Conservative MPs -- particularly since they haven't been too helpful. And I expect it will figure in the letter to my own MP. Need to hold their feet to the fire -- figuratively speaking, of course ... 😉🙂

Justin Trudeau is insane and a criminal. The problem is no law enforcement agency has the never to arrest him.

LOL! Well he's certainly smart enough to want to carry on his basic dictatorship!
Honestly though, how the hell do we get him out?
🙂 Good question; I'm working on it, at least trying to contribute to that "blessed day". 🙂
