California, the land of fruits and nuts

There is nothing that you can do about it at present. Just bear in mind that these people have no sense of proportion and will overreach themselves. They have to doubledown just to keep the show on the road.There will be a backlash, but not until enough people are seriously detrimentally affected by these antics. The longer a backlash is delayed the more extreme it is. The same will happen with Net Zero – We can already see the wheels falling off that fantasy.
You are right of course that what happens in The US always comes here sometime later. It would be nice if we were first for a change and gave the Yanks something to worry about.

You know society has reached a breaking point when the ruling elite sacrifice children in favour of some political objective or ideology. We saw if everywhere with Covid policy, and now we’re seeing it in places that allow children to undergo life altering medical interventions that they cannot possibly understand..

California stopped being a place to live the traditional American dream a long time ago. You’ve got a better chance of your child turning into a well-adjusted adult if you let them be raised by wolves rather than the people and institutions of California.

There used to be (and perhaps still is) a section in legal encyclopedias entitled “children and other incompetents.” This section leads the lawyer to statutes and cases dealing with those incompetent under the law– those who do not have the legal capacity to make contracts, for instance. It’s evident that politicians should be included among these incompetents.

In Canada, the provincial govt of New Brunswick plans to revise a policy that allows schools to call students by their preferred gender pronouns without informing parents. The new law would require schools to inform parents if any student under the age of 16 requests a pronoun change.

The howls of outrage are deafening. All the predictable groups are making charges of transphobia and blah blah blah. Trudeau, of course, is strongly opposed to the policy and has accused the New Brunswick premier of all sorts of right wing racism.

What disappoints me the most, and truly makes me fear for the future of my country, is not one leader of the three national political parties has explicitly endorsed the policy, including the so-called populist leader of the Conservative Party Pierre Poilievre.

Not one mainstream legacy media outlet has endorsed the policy either, including the only centre right newspaper in the country.

It’s not even a question of gender policy. The state has no business overriding the rights of parents or intervening in a child’s behaviour without consent of the parents. I haven’t heard anyone make this argument, other than Premier Higgins.

He has threatened to call a snap election over the Issue. I hope he follows through and forces an open and honest debate.

Nuts. I am now totally convinced that the Californians leftest are certifiably insane.
Where are these supposed moderate and ‘sane’ independent Californians and why more importantly, they are not readying themselves to rid the place of these despicable creatures.
America is lost.

This is scarily dystopian, a setting for the new Handperson’s Tale. Any normal parent with kids will have to get out, further polarizing the country, although at least there are other states to flee to, where they speak the same language.

Lex Luthor’s plan from the first Superman movie suddenly sounding quite reasonable.

America is the Great Satan.

God help us.

Look, we are bad news. And it will get worse now Gavin Newsom wants to be president in the next one or two elections.

Isnt the world sick of American (cultural) imperialism? I was told it was. Why do you lot follow our ideas? Stop reading our papers and giving us the time of day. Lose Canada at the same time.

Californians are cracked.
