- Actual Rainbow Warrior (I’ll tell you all that story someday soon).

I was hoping to wake to an announcement about an important Canadian Supreme Court Case this morning. It may drop before I finish writing this piece today and there has been so much news this week in the Gender Wars, I may dedicate a special Woke Watch Canada Report to the Case of Barry Neufeld v Glen Hansman. Neufeld is a former Chilliwack, BC School Trustee who criticized the SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity) curriculum in his capacity as a trustee six years ago. The decision not only has repercussions for the Gender Wars, but indeed for free expression in Canada.

We have growing media coverage this week around Bill 713 in New Brunswick where the Conservative Premier has joined the Education Minister in calls to examine school policies that by default assume that parents make their children UNsafe.

We had a global chorus of #IDAHOBIT!! on Wednesday, with Eagle Canada, Wisdom to Action, and other rainbow groups competing in the oppression Olympics for a piece of the annual $20 million prize in federal funding to advance the rainbow doctrine in Canada and I’ll show you where some of that propaganda and brainwashing money is being spent.

Josh Alexander, the youth from Renfrew, Ontario who was expelled from Catholic School for saying God created Man and Woman, was attacked on a public street in Calgary while handing out bibles this week. He was assaulted, dragged, berated, pushed around and then handcuffed by police for causing a disturbance.

We also had a mysterious phenomenon at a London Ontario school on Wednesday, where a third of children were absent in a growing trend because more and more people are just over the rainbow.

First, a short commentary video about a bizarre worm hole at the National Post leading to an alternative universe like something from Philip K. Dick’s “Man in the High Castle.” I think most discerning people are aware of these types of things, nevertheless, whenever you see a writing credit that looks like: “Donald Trump (with Tony Schwartz)” it means someone is getting paid to write and publish something.

In this case, it was “National Post, WITH International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia”

Last June in a shocking but unreported event at Vimy Ridge, an Ottawa Public School under the OCDSB, more than 70% of K-8 children were mysteriously absent on Pride Celebration Day. There was no media coverage of the event but I’ve since spoken with parents and teachers from the school who shared details. Parents of Muslim children are over the Rainbow.

The School announced that it was holding a Pride celebration day though an e-mail to parents. When Muslim parents pushed back, saying that this was contrary to their religious beliefs they were met with lectures about their own doctrines of tolerance and acceptance from school administrators. Needless to say, this didn’t go well.

One parent I spoke with, who gathered more than 7,500 signatures in just a few days before Change.org throttled petition, said that school officials were informed that tolerance and acceptance did not mean celebrating and affirming and the parents of kids at the school showed their disagreement by sending a message - we will keep our kids home.

An event like this was reported earlier this year in a southern Ontario school where 30% of kids were absent on a rainbow day. This week, the same London, Ontario school, staged a repeat performance. According to my source, this is an issue of concern at the national level for Muslim organizations.

In another case of religious tradition under attack, Josh Alexander of “Save Canada” stood outside a Calgary High-school this week handing out Bibles and was physically accosted by rainbow protestors. Alexander had called for an international student walkout day on the 17th of May, #IDAHOBIT day, through his growing social media network and counter protestors turned up, assaulted him and attempted to burn bibles. Click the image to go to the bird platform to see the unsettling repeated assaults against Josh in the Rebel News Video.

The escalation of vitriolic language claiming trans genocide, and snarling assertions claiming exponential hatred is growing against the rainbow people, was on full display this week.

I spent some time this year refreshing myself in a field called “General Semantics” which gave us the expression, “The Map is Not the Territory.” One of the leading thinkers in the field was a Japanese Canadian professor of Journalism, who published “Langauge in Thought and Action” a postwar critique of the tactics of propaganda and a warning to future generations to be aware of how propagandists use language to manipulate their audiences.

Here is comment from one of Canada’s best-funded rainbow propaganda organizations:

Media across Canada uncritically echoed the claims of Eagle Canada for #IDAHOBIT day this week using what Hiyakawa called “Snarl Words,” which are intentionally emotionally provocative statements. So I clicked on the link to the claims by Eagle, and even dug into the statistics Canada numbers Eagle uses to “support” their claims of anti-rainbow hate.

“Hate-Fueled” and “Gender Critical” movements. These are egregiously false claims and wild and dangerous aspersions cast upon people who have different views.

Make no mistake, this activist group, using millions in government money, is attacking the ability of Canadians to speak their concerns in the public sphere that are contrary to the state sanctioned propaganda.

Loving parents, Gender Critical people like myself, members of the Muslim Community, and people with healthy boundaries for their kids, who don’t want their kids exposed to sexualized materials in school or who object to their kids being asked to fill out questionnaires about sexual preferences and sexual orientation in grade schools are not hateful. Nor does this represent an exponentially rising hatred.

NB Premier Blaine Higgs and the Education Minister opening up questions about secret social transitions in schools under the rainbow banner of “children’s rights,” is not hatred. It’s an important part of living in a society that values getting to the truth through the free and open exchange and examination of ideas in the public commons, unfettered by censorious, abusive, violent and hyperbolic propagandists who deny biological reality and the very nature of truth itself.

What all of this does represent is that there is a growing tide of people ready to take action, to set boundaries against the ideological rainbow incursions into every aspect of ours and our children’s lives.

I’ll leave you with a cover song by podcast host, Benjamin Boyce, the Boyce of Reason, who often covers what’s happening in the Canadian scene.

Link to the bird again through the photo. He sung it best this week:

Shannon B off to read the supreme court decision now, special report to follow later today.
