“It seems Canada wasn’t always as friendly as it’s reputed to be. In the 1950s, the Canadian government hired a university professor to develop a machine that was supposedly able to detect whether or not federal employees were gay, or, to use the derogatory term, “fruits.” Called the “Fruit Machine,” the apparatus measured pupil dilation in response to same-sex-erotic imagery. As a result of this testing, which went on until the 1960s, many men lost their jobs. “

The science is not settled. I know what I think. Imagine if the fake Biden administration had a fruit machine.

Given that this took place in the "Commonwealth," maybe the PTB were really trying to ID "fellow travelers" for promotions and weed out the straight men.

Yes, I am that cynical nowadays.
