You would think this article was a grotesque parody. You'd be wrong, unfortunately.

This nightmare was allowed to unfold in the streets of Halifax, the wonderful city I once knew in my youth now polluted by the very universities that were its crowning glory.

Take away this part of the story, in which is summarized the savage yet sterile end of identity politics:

Jade Byard Peek, a transgender woman of African-Nova Scotian and Mi'kmaq heritage, said she and others felt uncomfortable and under attack at last year's women's march. When she shared her experiences with march organizers, she said she received "near death threats" and was called an "angry black man" on social media.

Gosh...felt uncomfortable...near death threats...angry black man...Well, that certainly sounds...uhm...threatening. Near death threats. What exactly are those?

I asked how to tell whether somebody in an article was genetically a man or a woman and somebody responded, “just change ‘trans’ to fake and you’ll have it.” I guess that was a “near” threat.

as members of an offshoot event showed up to call for the recognition of marginalized groups

Splitters!

[Gay State Conservative]

Organizers of that event, dubbed the walk for intersectional women...

Is "intersectional" Canadian for whackjob?

Or as red Green used to say,"nutbar"?

My letters to the LA times yesterday and today, never to be published.

Sat after no article about the DC right to life demonstration historically addressed by a president but two articles a long front page one and one in the California section about a #metoo march..

“Interesting to see the article covering the Women’s March which apparently addresses every problem in the history of the US and the #metoo article about the march against sexual harassment. There’s a controversial issue!.

However, the Times was remiss in not covering a historical event in DC on Friday; the president addressing the Right To Live March with thousands in attendance.

The use of editorial position to stifle events and not provide coverage is insidious and one of the major things wrong with todays media. Omission is as bad as propaganda.”

Today after articles glorifying the March.

“I emphasize with the women who protested this horrible country. They have to live with a misogynistic president, who has lead the country to the lowest unemployment rate for women in recorded history. Where women have full equal rights including equal pay for equal work and they can take an innocent human life, if it’s inconvenient to take birth control or raise a baby. This is a country where someone can grab a woman’s butt and she can complain about it 20 years later and get national media attention. The horror!

My foreign born wife, who is from a country where women were oppressed, would have marched, but she was too busy working, being president of our condo association and working at a church event; to complain about her life and support her oppressed sisters. 7 more years ladies and you can hide your grievances, if a democrat is elected who “feels your pain” and does nothing. Pathetic!”

the wonderful city I once knew in my youth

My wife is a Haligonian so I understand your comment and lament about Halifax.

From 1982-85, I lived and worked in Vancouver. When my company sent me back to the States, I was asked what I differences I learned between Canada and the US. I said that in the US (then), the majority rules. In Canada, every small minority has as much voice as the majority en toto.

Well, we have since become more Canadia-like. And Canada, from this and my current experience, has sadly become even more fractioned.

All those canadians voting for hillary and she STILL didn’t get elected.

.... an event that included a Mi'kmaq prayer, a Chinese lion dance, a traditional Indian dance and a drumming performance.

In my professional opinion, we're looking at a full-blown hippie jamfest the size of which we've never seen.

The only place I have ever read/heard of Mi’kmaqs is in the Stephen King novel ‘Pet Semetary’. They are real?
