All Aboard with Transgender Ideology<\/strong><\/p>\n RAINBOW FLAG<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/a>BC Ferries—steering a course set by the transgender lobby and its political agents<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \n On Thursday night I attended a Campbell River meeting of the Freedom Defence Council, a growing grass roots made-in-Vancouver Island group of some 200 social conservatives.. The meeting was intense, informative and geared for action. The discussion moved from the broader picture—the demolition of our Christian heritage and culture and the war on free speech —to the immediate threat posed by the aggressively imperialistic transgender lobby, insatiable in its appetite for more public spaces to occupy.<\/p>\n Specifically, it was about the alarming imposition of LGTBQ posters and banners and flags on city owned facilities, and the implementation of a trans-friendly curriculum in schools.\u00a0\u00a0To give you a measure of these conquests, \u00a0 on Pride Day, the public library even hosted a Drag Queen Folk Tales event for children! Lesbian sex toys were\u00a0 on full display at a nearby waterside public park\u2014with\u00a0\u00a0children in close proximity! Dolls are apparently pass\u00e9. Dildos are the rage now.<\/p>\n \n The conclusion is inescapable.\u00a0\u00a0Children are being sexualized with few ‘safe’ spaces to find refuge.\u00a0\u00a0One powerful lobby group has claimed the public space.\u00a0\u00a0Their message:\u00a0\u00a0Move over or go home—and shut up.\u00a0\u00a0The media and the politicians are on our side and the BC Human Rights Tribunal stands behind us.<\/p>\n \n Hmm.\u00a0\u00a0This sounds pretty alarmist. Are things really that bad? Are the barbarians really at the gates, or inside them?\u00a0\u00a0The answer came soon.<\/p>\n When I took the returning ferry to Quadra Island, I noticed that the ship was flying the rainbow Pride flag,\u00a0\u00a017 days\u00a0after<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Pride Day! This is on\u00a0\u00a0a taxpayer subsidised ship! Which made me think that it would be appropriate if the BC Ferries Corp. was renamed the\u201d BC Fairies Corp\u201d.\u00a0 Should that change transpire, I may one day feel compelled to do something I would never have dreamed of doing.\u00a0 I may have to run to catch a fairy. But I will be damned if I\u2019m ever made to ride one! I’d rather swim.<\/p>\n If the BC Ferries Corp was indeed to become the BC Fairies Corp maybe the CEO should be replaced in favour of a Rear Admiral, eg. Svend Robinson. After all, every vessel in the fleet can unload at either end, although docking can be problematic at times. \u00a0 Since most ships are referred to as “she”, as in “there she blows”, it is certain that this sexist practice will be soon come to an end when our progressive provincial NDP-Green government realizes that the fate of the nation depends on its immediate termination.\u00a0 Every ship must eventually be referred to using a non-binary pronoun, or maybe a traditional pronoun with a gay male connotation, as in “there\u00a0he<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0blows”.<\/p>\n \n \u00a0Perhaps BC Fairies vessels could be gender fluid. They could leave one terminal as a \u2018she\u2019, and arrive at the destination terminal as a \u2018he\u2019, depending on the fluctuating mood of the non-binary captain who was hired to meet the new quota targets. \u201c The Queen of New Westminster\u201d could leave the Tsawassen terminal at 11 am and be received 90 minutes later in Swartz Bay as \u201cThe\u00a0King\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>of New Westminster\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0Alternatively, the vessel could simply be called the \u201cDrag Queen of New Westminster\u201d, a venue for reading Queer Folk Tales to children with or without parental approval or supervision. Tsawassen-to-Swartz Bay and back could then become a world class trans-portation route.<\/p>\n \n \u00a0If the vessel should collide with another, take on water and begin to sink, the “women and children first” protocol would have to be changed to a “gender dysphoric children and gender fluid mothers first” rule. Biological male passengers eager to claim a seat on a lifeboat would not need to offer proof that they are actually women–they need only declare that they presently\u00a0‘identify’<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0as a woman. Any ship officer or crew who would challenge such an assertion would be subject to immediate dismissal and a BC Human Rights complaint adjudicated by political hacks.\u00a0 To hammer that point home, vessels would be re-christened to honour the contributions of trans activists who have contributed so much to our progressive and tolerant society, especially in the area of free speech. How does \u201cMTV Morgane Oger” sound? It would be designated as the Mother Ship of the fleet, but It wouldn’t need a wide berth owing to the fact that it can’t give birth.<\/p>\n Seriously, as one speaker at the meeting said, “Things are moving so fast that if we don’t soon get off our butts, organize and\u00a0ACT\u00a0<\/u><\/em><\/strong>now, it will be game over….for one thing, we need the ability to call upon a quick response group to counteract Antifa and LGBT bully groups who show up to shout us down…..of those in our congregations who feel as strongly as we do, many feel too intimidated to stand up to them……as a result, our children are being abducted by this evil cult, made ever more powerful by the ardent support it receives from local council, the provincial government, and the local media…. (words to that effect).<\/p>\n The issue here is not just about free speech, but the flagrant transgression of the formerly respected boundary between ideology and state.\u00a0\u00a0The former is the privilege of the elected custodians of the state, and the latter is, or should be, a neutral instrument employed impartially for the benefit of all taxpayers regardless of their political orientation.\u00a0\u00a0In an authentically democratic nation, civil servants, public sector employees and the institutions they work in should be politically neutral.\u00a0\u00a0In Canada, neither the RCMP, nor a City Hall, nor a public school, nor a public library, nor a publicly subsidized ferry—to cite a few examples—should dare display a political message that promotes a given ideology no matter how many citizens there are who may ascribe to it.\u00a0\u00a0That\u2019s basic\u00a0Canadian Civics 101.<\/p>\n \n But in the emerging soft totalitarian society, the Party that controls the state, feels little compunction in using public resources to propagate a partisan line and commandeering\u00a0\u00a0state property for use as a platform for that same purpose.\u00a0\u00a0In this case, they frame their shameless display of rainbow flags and posters as an acknowledgement and celebration of the ‘diversity’ that exists in our society. But they celebrate cultural or sexual ‘diversity’\u00a0 to the utter neglect of the\u00a0ideological<\/u><\/em>\u00a0diversity that is as much a reality in the community as anything else.\u00a0\u00a0The Left is keen on the diversity of people, but not on the diversity of ideas.\u00a0\u00a0They are all for \u201cinclusion\u201d, but their inclusion is not inclusive of ideas and views they detest.<\/p>\n \n \u00a0They assume that all taxpayers are on the same page. They pretend that Christians and social conservatives do not exist, or if they do, are too marginal and too out of sync with the times to warrant consideration. In their eyes, conservative thought or expression is an atavism that needs to be suppressed, silenced and ignored, until its aged proponents\u00a0\u00a0pass into the dustbin of history.\u00a0The implication is clear.\u00a0\u00a0Bigots pay taxes, but they do not deserve representation—or an audience for that matter. Consequently, our entreaties and LTEs are ignored.<\/p>\n \n \u00a0Soon, it seems, the rainbow flag will be a permanent feature of every flag pole every day of every week in the calendar. The most worrisome part of this story is, as a few speakers pointed out, the active dissidents are predominantly male, white and over 60, and the pastors are too timid and ostrich-like to lead them or rally younger parishioners to the cause.\u00a0\u00a0They choose to ignore the fact that if the bullies continue to have their way,\u00a0\u00a0ten years hence their churches may be on life support. If that.\u00a0\u00a0The window is rapidly closing and having feasted on blood,\u00a0\u00a0the sharks are circling ever closer. We need the younger generation to step up and pick up the torch. That was the consensus.<\/p>\n Tim Murray<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" All Aboard with Transgender Ideology RAINBOW FLAG \u00a0BC Ferries—steering a course set by the transgender lobby and its political agents On Thursday night I attended a Campbell River meeting of the Freedom Defence Council, a growing grass roots made-in-Vancouver Island … Continue reading
