A rebuttal
Radio-Canada’s headquarters in Montreal was vandalized by far-left extremists last Wednesday, an act claimed online as a rebuttal to the controversial report on gender transition therapy for minors.
Sounds like Samuel Johnson dissing Bishop Berkeley by kicking a stone and saying “I refute it thus!” (A story that’s probably apocryphal.) I rebut your controversial report by smashing your windows, so nyah!
An anonymous submission was published to Montréal Contre-Information’s website titled “Radio-Canada has blood on its hands: a look back at the shop windows destroyed on the night of March 12-13.”
The letter confirmed that activists destroyed the windows of the Radio-Canada building in response to the organization’s “decision to use its broad platform to amplify transphobic rhetoric akin to that of the extreme right.”
Blah blah blah. You’re men. Get over it.
The act of vandalism comes in the wake of the broadcast of “Trans Express,” an investigation by Radio-Canada that highlighted a 14-year-old girl in Quebec quickly obtaining a prescription for cross-sex hormones without consent from their parents or a medical referral.
HER! Her parents, you dolts! You just said she’s a girl.
While Radio-Canada’s investigative report showcased a teenager getting a prescription for cross-sex hormones in only nine minutes, it also showcased trans youth in Quebec who detransitioned, claiming that they were rushed into irreversible transitions by healthcare providers who they said did little to address their pre-existing mental health conditions.
Well they’re all transphobes, aren’t they. Tell us where their windows are so that we can smash them.

Much eloquent. Vey persuasion. But if they really wanted to make their case airtight they would have nailed up a rat. Amateurs.
Oh, and by the way, why is this report deemed “controversial”? Was it inaccurate, or did it simply hurt someone’s feeeeelings?? The controversial parts are what the clinic did, not in the CBC reporting it. Similarly, any “controversy” with regards to detransitioners is in the actions of the supposed “healthcare” providers who rushed them into transitioning. Obviously in the eyes of these trans activist
criticsvandals, reporting these failures in medical ethics is more damaging and harmful than the medical malpractice itself. The metaphorical blood on Radio-Canada’s hands is of more concern than the actual blood on the hands of surgeons providing “gender affirming care.” Priorities people.If you’re so upset by this report rather than the actions it reports on, it must mean that you are in favour of drugging children and submitting young people to destructive, unnecessary surgical procedures. The least you could do is own up to it. It’s not like we don’t know where you stand, but you might want to be honest with yourselves.
They really have diluted the “blood on their hands” idiom to a degree that would be the envy of the homeopaths.
One of the most Orwellian things about the past decade is the insistence on saying nothing that would give the Right ammunition. Keep your doubts and dissent to yourself.
I take the opposite stance. Saying nothing is what gives the Right ammunition. It probably even gives the Right the artillery to use that ammunition. Saying nothing creates defectors who go man those artillery emplacements. Saying nothing is political correctness as practiced in the USSR, something we used to understand was bad.
