Was the above photo taken on Halloween?

Have you ever been to a drag show. They are basically just clowns. And just like clowns they can be sexy or not depending on the audience. The one difference that I can think of is that I haven't met anyone who has a phobia of drag performers in the same way that so many people have other phobia of clowns.

Drag performances are the LGBTQ2+ equivalent of Amos 'n Andy.

I have friends who do burlesque. I have been to drag shows. They are men acting like clowns of women strippers. My friends, who are women, actually say they “get their drag face on”. Not for children in general but a lot isn’t I suppose.

This is a master move by the Davos crowd. I noticed that the right gets shown lap dances for kids and children acting like strippers while the left gets show Mrs Doubtfire reading wholesome stories. Then the right side gets up in arms about sexualizing children and normalizing kink to them. The left is then told the right thinks gay people should die and that’s what they are angry about. Then when some people go and protest against the sexualizing of children the left comes out against them in a violent rage because they believe the right wants to genocide them.

Pride was a good thing. It was a movement to allow people to live as they are in the open. Without discrimination. Without fear.

This is not that anymore and what I see happening is it is creating more hatred towards queer in general. It’s having the opposite effect.

If you've seen one drag show, you've seen them all. It's a kind of schtick that gets old really fast.

It also furthers the escalation of violence among us plebes in general as it starts to paint the left as pedophiles trying to groom your children and the right as NAZIS trying to genocide a class of people. Both ideas generate strong emotions. This duality prevents the other side from even listening to the other side. We see this playing out right now.

Maybe that’s why they want to do it for kids. What an ad campaign!

Which, as you've noted, is exactly what the Davos crowd wants.

Completely. It’s important to be aware of that. So you can fight the effect off. To not accept the crap but somehow not succumb to hate. This is the trap. You see it, the other doesn’t. Not only that, they hate you because of what they see. So you are supposed to hate them back.
This particular subject is the most difficult playground of the culture war yet.

Today, being Easter, is the most important day for people of the Christian faith.

Why Singh chose to be confrontational is anyone’s guess, but there it is.

[Matt R.]

What’s confrontational?

[Victoria Watcher]

Saying "long weekend" instead of Easter weekend.

 

And he's being thoroughly ratioed for it.

Lol. I hope he can keep religion out of politics, that would be grand. Clown world, Jesus edition.

[Nparker]

As long as Mr. Singh wears a turban in parliament, he is choosing to keep religion in politics. To be fair though, this is the very least of his transgressions against the Canadian people.

Yeah he did this on purpose. His twitter history: he wishes happy Diwali. He wishes happy Hanukkah. He skips Easter?

[Matt R.]

Easier to just stay off Twitter.

Statement from the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation - Resignation of the Board of Directors and the President and CEO

 

11 APRIL 2023

 

 

 

 

Montreal, April 11, 2023 - In recent weeks, the political climate surrounding a donation received by the Foundation in 2016 has put a great deal of pressure on the Foundation’s management and volunteer Board of Directors, as well as on our staff and our community. 

 

The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation is an independent, non-partisan scholarship organization created with broad support in the House of Commons in 2002.

 

The circumstances created by the politicization of the Foundation have made it impossible to continue with the status quo, and the volunteer Board of Directors has resigned, as has the President and CEO.

 

Three directors have agreed to remain on an interim basis so that the Foundation can continue to meet its obligations pending Board renewal, including towards its Scholars, Mentors and Fellows. 

 

We would like to thank Pascale Fournier for her work as President and CEO over the past five years, as well as all the members of the Board of Directors.
