For anyone reading -- the current protests are (imo) conveniently timed to coincide with coming election and "woke/anti-woke" rhetoric. They have to do with transgender rights and parental rights re: transgender materials in schools. I know people have strong opinions on either side, but IMO it's just a repeat of the 2008 racial/sexual agitation in USA that distracted people from wrongdoing of banks and collapse of the general financial system.
Canada by all rights should be having mass protests directed at the ENTIRE political class, as well as the calamitous immigration and monetary policy. Instead we are fighting over who is transgender etc., the Conservatives (basically part of our own uniparty) are focusing on calling the current Prime Minster "woke" as though that will fix any of the other structural stuff.
Dark times ahead in Canada.

Protesting is meaningless and dumb Instead of protesting people should just rebut any "authority". But yeah, people are quite dumb nowadays, they think that protesting in streets will do something. It don't.

I agree, protesting is useless, those people still recognizing the authority of Chanada. And... no worries, you did not sign any contract, but your natural parents did it for you!

Interesting timing. There was scandal about this in Latvia as well recently, in parallel of forming new government. No big street protests though, it was rejected just from the noise in social media, etc.

This deserves some sats! Thank you for the context zapping some your way!

So true. Culture wars have really got everyone in a tizzy and I have no doubt that that's just the way the elites like it.
