from Rebel News - naked man' used little girls' change room at local pool

Gosh, it wasn't that long ago that this behaviour would have been seen for what it is: and he would have been arrested on the spot and now, ( get this ) the manager of the pool says "We have no reason to believe any inappropriate behaviour occurred." Seriously are you kidding me??? It is totally inappropriate for a man to walk around with his genitals exposed in a public place period ( except maybe in a men's locker room )!! But to do this in front of little girls? The girls changing room at a public pool should be a safe place for our kids. Not any more it seems M

I confronted the pool about this by letting them know I was uncomfortable with a man using the change room and walking around with his penis hanging out with my daughter,' said a concerned parent. The facility manager then informed them that the transgender woman is protected under the province's Human Rights Act.

A Calgary parent is outraged after a 'naked man' walked into the little girls changing room at Canyon Meadows Pool.

"My kids are taking swimming lessons at the Canyon Meadows pool in Calgary all this week," a concerned parent told the Western Standard.

While waiting for their daughter to finish her swimming lessons, another concerned parent informed them that a transgender woman was changing in the women's room.

The parent went into the changing room and uncovered a naked transgender woman with his penis hanging out around little girls. 

"I confronted the pool about this by letting them know I was uncomfortable with a man using the change room and walking around with his penis hanging out with my daughter," said the concerned parent.

They contacted the facility manager, who informed them that the transgender woman is protected under the province's Human Rights Act. 

"Calgary Recreation is committed to providing recreation opportunities for all Calgarians," reads a statement from the City of Calgary.

"To meet the needs of all Calgarians and to be compliant with provincial Human Rights legislation, customers will have the use of the washroom and change room facilities congruent with their gender identity."

The lifeguard on duty asked if the transgender woman was changing or staring at their daughter. 

The concerned parent responded: "What the f*ck difference does that make? He was walking around 12-year-old girls with his penis hanging out."

Other parents also had questions concerning the incident, but only one spoke up.

"I asked her if she had any kids, and she said yes, a 7-year-old daughter. I asked if she would be ok with this man using the same changing room as her daughter, and she couldn't answer that question, just kept telling me he's protected under the human rights [act]," said the concerned parent.

According to the standard operating procedures for the pool, patrons have the right to access the washroom or change room area that best corresponds with their gender identity or gender expression, regardless of their sex assigned at birth.

"If any individual is not comfortable in the gender-specific change room, they may access a private space if one is available or speak to the front counter staff about other suitable alternatives."

A similar incident occurred recently at a Saskatoon pool, eliciting one parent to complain to their councillor after learning that a 'naked man' went into a little girls' change room after swimming lessons. 

Ward 3 Councillor David Kirton emailed the parents to thank them for "sharing your concerns."

In the email, the councillor advised that the concerned parent "reach out to a staff member, and they will help you find a comfortable change room environment that suits your needs." But he did not provide specific details on how the city could accommodate them.

Kirton acknowledged only one "alleged incident at Shaw Centre last Friday, January 27, regarding an individual who identifies as female using the women's change room."

Over the weekend, Saskatoon parents protested outside the Shaw Centre against the 'naked man' spotted in the little girls changing room.

Roughly 100 protesters opposed the 'naked man,' while 50 counter-protesters claimed: "trans women are women."

Kirton said that the city's understanding of what occurred is "substantively different than what has been reported on social media." 

"We have no reason to believe any inappropriate behaviour occurred."

from CNA FBI retracts leaked document orchestrating investigation of Catholics

 https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253600/fbi-retracts-leaked-document-orchestrating-investigation-of-catholics

Washington D.C., Feb 9, 2023 / 15:15 pm

The FBI says it is retracting a leaked document published on the internet Feb. 8 that appears to reveal that the bureau’s Richmond division launched an investigation into “radical traditionalist” Catholics and their possible ties to “the far-right white nationalist movement.” 

In response to an inquiry from CNA, the FBI said it will remove the document because “it does not meet our exacting standards.”

The document, https://www.uncoverdc.com/2023/02/08/the-fbi-doubles-down-on-christians-and-white-supremacy-in-2023/ which was published on the website UncoverDC and is titled “Interest of Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists in Radical-Traditionalist Catholic Ideology Almost Certainly Presents New Mitigation Opportunities,” the document singles out Catholics who are interested in the Traditional Latin Mass as potentially linked to violent extremist groups.

Kyle Seraphin, who is listed by UncoverDC as the author of the document, told CNA that he received the leaked document from an FBI agent. Seraphin himself is a former FBI special agent who was reportedly suspended last year. According to an NBC News report he went on to join Truth Social, the social media platform started by former President Donald Trump.

The FBI’s national press office confirmed to CNA that the document came from the Richmond office but stated that it will “remove the document from FBI systems” because it does not meet the “exacting standards of the FBI.”

“While our standard practice is to not comment on specific intelligence products, this particular field office product — disseminated only within the FBI — regarding racially or ethnically motivated violent extremism does not meet the exacting standards of the FBI,” the statement read.  

“Upon learning of the document, FBI Headquarters quickly began taking action to remove the document from FBI systems and conduct a review of the basis for the document. The FBI is committed to sound analytic tradecraft and to investigating and preventing acts of violence and other crimes while upholding the constitutional rights of all Americans and will never conduct investigative activities or open an investigation based solely on First Amendment protected activity,” concluded the statement from the FBI National Press Office.

Marked “UNCLASSIFIED/FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY,” the document includes a list of organizations with Catholic ties that are listed by the Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) list of hate groups. 

The SPLC has faced questions about its credibility from conservative and Christian organizations that have accused the group of a left-wing bias. Among the groups that made the SPLC’s 2021 list of supposed “hate groups” are the conservative and pro-family groups Alliance Defending Freedom, the Family Research Council, ACT for America, the Center for Security Policy, and the American Freedom Law Center.

The organizations identified in the document as adhering to “radical-traditionalist Catholic ideology” include Tradition in Action, The Remnant, Culture Wars Magazine, and the Fatima Crusader. A “warning” added to the document noted that “potential criminality exhibited by certain members of a group referenced herein does not negate [the group’s or the members’] rights under the First Amendment to the Constitution.”

The document, dated Jan. 23, claims that racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists will likely become more interested in “radical-traditionalist Catholic ideology” within the next 12 to 24 months “in the run-up to the next general election cycle.” 

It points to potential “policy issues of mutual interest” between “radical-traditional” Catholics and violent extremists such as “abortion rights, immigration, affirmative action, and LGBTQ protections.” 

The document further claims that violent extremists have “sought out and attended traditionalist Catholic houses of worship,” which “presents new opportunities for threat mitigation” through “trip wire or source development” within churches that offer the Latin Mass and “radical-traditionalist” Catholic online communities. 

“The current trend of [racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist] interest in [radical-traditionalist Catholic ideology] provides new opportunities to mitigate the [racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist] threat through outreach to traditionalist Catholic parishes and the development of sources with the placement and access to report on [racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists] seeking to use [radical-traditionalist Catholic ideology] social media sites or places of worship as facilitation platforms to promote violence,” the document reads.

Both the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) and the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) are listed as potential points of contact for outreach, according to the document notes. Both offer Traditional Latin Masses to congregants and both have congregations within the Richmond FBI’s area of responsibility. SSPX is a canonically irregular organization ever since its founder Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre consecrated bishops without papal approval. FSSP broke off from SSPX over that decision and is in full communion with Rome. 

However, the document claims that “much of the interaction … takes place online” and they share certain language and symbolism, such as “crusader references and anti-Semitic discourse.” 

Document notes claim that it defines radical-traditionalist Catholic ideology as a “rejection of the Second Vatican Council,” a “disdain for popes elected since Vatican II” and “frequent adherence to anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ, and white supremacist ideology.” 

It states that radical-traditionalist Catholicism is distinct from “traditionalist Catholics,” whom it defines as those who “prefer the Traditional Latin Mass and pre-Vatican II teachings and traditions” without “more extremist ideological beliefs and violent rhetoric.” However, the Richmond FBI division appears to rely on the SPLC’s analysis to determine what organizations should be classified as radical-traditionalist Catholic.

This is not the first time the FBI justified an insertion into religious communities by claiming it was looking for violent extremists. After al-Qaeda orchestrated the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, the FBI surveilled various mosques in search of Muslim extremists. 

In one example, an FBI agent named Craig Monteilh pretended to convert to Islam and “was secretly recording conversations and filming inside people’s homes, mosques, and businesses,” according to the American Civil Liberties Union. Even though Muslims in the Orange County, California, community ultimately reported him to law enforcement and the FBI when he began to promote terrorism, he had already “gathered names, phone numbers, and email addresses as he secretly filmed and recorded congregants.” 

On Thursday, House Republicans will begin an investigation into the alleged “weaponization” of the federal government against pro-life activists and Christians. It will look into allegations against the FBI and the Department of Justice.

High school student suspended, arrested for saying only 2 genders - Brian Lilly

Josh, you are my hero!!!

The World has gone completely bonkers and sadly so have our Catholic Schools and it disgusts me, to no end. Sometimes I think I'm living in an alternate universe

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell the difference between girls and boys, For thousands of years men and women have been able to figure it out Sheesh! 

This is a wicked Generation. So much child abuse going on: the little impressionable ones who are constantly bombarded with lies from the media, and political leaders. The bullying by the same sources if you dare to take a stand against the woke agenda

This is a wicked Generation.

article  below from Brian Lilley

https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/lilley-catholic-high-school-student-suspended-then-arrested-for-saying-there-are-only-two-genders

In the name of diversity, a Catholic school in Renfrew suspended a student and had him arrested for saying there are only two genders.

Josh Alexander was suspended last November over comments made about gender in class and told he couldn’t return to class until he recanted.

On Monday, Alexander returned to class and was promptly met by the vice-principal, arrested by two local police officers, and charged with trespassing. The now seemingly former student of St. Joseph’s Catholic High School told the National Post in an interview that he made comments during a class discussion on gender.

“It was about male students using female washrooms, gender dysphoria and male breastfeeding. Everyone was sharing their opinions on it, any student who wanted to was participating, including the teacher,” Alexander said.

“I said there were only two genders, and you were born either a male or a female, and that got me into trouble. And then I said that gender doesn’t trump biology.”

Those statements, in line with Catholic teaching, were what got him suspended from school.

A lawyer representing Alexander said that the school won’t let him attend classes again until he agrees “not to use the ‘dead name’ of any transgender student and agreed to exclude himself from his two afternoon classes because those classes are attended by two transgender students who disapprove of Josh’s religious beliefs.”

Alexander told National Post that he’s never dead named another student, meaning using their original name before transitioning. As for trans students disapproving of Alexander’s religious beliefs, maybe they want to reflect on the fact that they are attending a Catholic school, or at least one that calls itself a Catholic school.

This incident shows why it might be time to finally say goodbye to Ontario’s publicly funded Catholic school system. There’s nothing Catholic about it, they adhere to the same secular gospel as all of our other public institutions, and it is beyond saving.

I say this as someone who graduated from the Catholic system, whose children all attended Catholic schools, and who values the distinct education that I and my children received. That distinct education is no longer distinct when, in the name of diversity, the person adhering to Catholic teaching is the one who is excluded.

Anyone who looks at Alexander’s social media presence will see that he is a political activist. He’s pro-life, and he favors a red ball cap that reads “Save Canada” on the front. He’s even been photographed at protests against the Trudeau government on Parliament Hill.

All of that will see critics say that Alexander doesn’t deserve any sympathy and that he got what was coming to him. This is where we are in political discourse in Canada.

This young man is being denied education for having a different view than those in power.

What does it teach Alexander that the response to him saying there are only two genders inside a Catholic school is that he is now excluded? The school administration is turning this young man into a martyr, while also showing they long ago abandoned the Catholic beliefs they say they uphold as a school.

What does it teach the trans students who don’t want Alexander in their class because they disagree with his religious beliefs? It teaches them that they have special powers, are more important than other students, and don’t need to learn to deal with those they disagree with.

No one is well served by this.

Perhaps we don’t have the full story from Alexander or from the school board, but one thing is clear. In Ontario’s school system, woke politics trumps everything else, including the right of a teenager to receive an education.

The entire system is rotten to the core.

Renew the World, and quotes from Thomas Merton

During a homily the other day one of our priests quoted Thomas Merton. I think it was the first one

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following Your Will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please You does in fact please You. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing... - Thomas Merton

"You will probably, if you continue as you do, begin the laborious job of changing the national mind and opening up the national conscience. How far will you get? God alone knows. All that you and I can ever hope for in terms of visible results is that we will have perhaps contributed something to a clarification of Christian truth in this society, and as a result, a few people may have got it straight about some things and opened up to the grace of God and made some sense out of their lives, helping a few more to do the same." Thomas Merton

" All the good that you will do will come not from you but from the fact that you have allowed yourself, in the obedience of faith, to be used by God's love. ...The real hope, then, is not in something we think we can do, but in God who is making something good out of it in some way, we cannot see. If we can do His will, we will be helping in this process. But we will not necessarily know all about it beforehand." Thomas Merton

Bishop Barron questions the ambiguity of the terms of the Synodal process.

Baby ( 36 week Gestation ) Aborted at Sacred Heart Hospital in Montreal

If this story doesn't shame our Political Leaders then nothing will. 

MONTREAL – A 38-week, late-term abortion took place Feb 2, 2023, at the Montreal Sacred Heart Hospital.

Naturally, there was not a word about this from the Ottawa Media 

an excerpt from the article

"The case was qualified as a “special case”. They were informed that the child would have to be injected with a substance to be euthanized so that it doesn’t cry before being ejected from the mother. Some of the staff have refused to take part in the “procedure”.

While Montreal Against Abortion spoke behind the scenes with the anonymous source, QLC decided to ask its supporters to pray for this baby to not be euthanized and for the conscience of the mother to be changed.

We received over 70 emails in this regard and some of our supporters have offered to adopt this child, others even took action by calling the hospital and speaking to the hospital staff. One of our supporters wrote:

"This email touched my heart and made me more aware of the atrocity of her abortion laws! Oh, how sick our society is, it's so sad! What kind of leaders can allow this kind of laws?"

An Invitation to the Future - Jordan Peterson

Letter from 36 Organizations to Cancel Dr. Jordan Peterson's Show at the Canadian Tire Centre

Dr. Jordan Peterson is a brilliant, compassionate Canadian clinical psychologist, who, like countless other Canadians is concerned about the state of our country.....however 

No Free Speech for You Dr. Peterson!

Is the letter hate speech?  I think so.

Have any of the 36, even bothered to take the time to listen to Dr. Peterson? 

(I only counted 33 groups I'm hoping it's because the other three realized how silly it was )

from the letter

(not true) " the toxic and often violent rhetoric touted by Peterson whose quasi-academic ideas are misogynistic homophobic, transphobic, and racist has led to an increased environment of hate, especially towards the trans community that has been very evident in Ottawa"

( not true ) "Peterson has also advocated in favor of ideas like enforced monogamy that encourages that they should be treated like sexual objects instead of equals"  

( not true ) the ideas espoused by Peterson directly jeopardize the safety and the well-being of marginalized communities, especially women and transgender people.

the 36 hated the Freedom Convoy as well and supporters of course. We bad! Do they even know why the truckers did what they did? Probably not. Why don't they consider reading the back story of the Freedom Convoy? Sadly we have lost our freedom in Canada, and a group of ordinary Canadians does something about it. Yippee! Yes, it was noisy but absolutely peaceful. Don't be fooled by our local media. A big family of Canadians from every walk of life.......... LGBTQ, Pro Life, Pro Choice, Christians, Muslims, Atheists,  Indigenous etc............. came together in unity strength, and mutual respect.

Trudeau wouldn't meet with them because they had "unacceptable views." Sound familiar?

 And the 36 Called on the Creative Arts Agency to cancel their show and drop Peterson as a client. Are you kidding me?

 In this letter, the 36 vilify Chris Elson who came to Ottawa a year and a half ago to peacefully protest the harmful puberty blockers being given to our children and to speak with the teachers. Not surprisingly, Elson was met by a hate mob yelling and screaming at him (including a school board trustee) Never mind trying to hear what he had to say. Show some respect! Come on eh? Even the OCDSB called it " an act of hatred "

Incidentally, puberty blockers have been prohibited in many countries. Here in Canada, we can't even talk about the harm being caused without being labeled as promoting hatred,

Do the 36 even know what's going on in our schools? From the National Post, last August 

 https://nationalpost.com/opinion/np-view-canada-must-slow-down-and-reform-transgender-treatments-for-minors

The NP called for Canada to ban gender surgeries for minors and “take inspiration” from the recent reforms in Finland, Sweden, and the UK to ensure Canadian gender-questioning children receive appropriate and multi-disciplinary care. This statement from the NP came just weeks after the UK announced the closure of the Tavistock gender clinic for children and youth after an independent commission determined the current model was “not a safe or viable long-term option”.

 

the 36 seem to think that if you have a different belief or opinion than they have, then it is automatically hate speech.

No room for discussion

Oh, incidentally our woke friends in the Ottawa Media got a lot of mileage out of the letter. I saw a rather long tedious story in the Citizen and heard about it over and over on CFRA

Hardly a word about Dr. Peterson's event though. No surprise there.

He is the author of the famous book, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos,

The 12 rules according to Peterson are: ( scary stuff eh )

1. Stand up with your shoulders straight
2. Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping
3. Befriend people who want the best for you
4. Compare Yourself To Who You Were Yesterday, Not To Who Someone Else Is Today.
5. Do not let your children do anything that makes you dislike them
6. Set your house in order before you criticize the world
7. Pursue what is meaningful, not what is expedient
8. Tell the truth. Or at least don’t lie
9. Assume the person you are listening to knows something you don’t
10. Be precise in your speech
11. Do not bother children while they are skateboarding
12. Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street

Doctor Peterson like countless other Canadians is concerned about the state of our country However, it seems that many educators, doctors, and politicians are not, especially when it comes to our youth and our children born and unborn,

It's absolutely diabolical that we accept the murder of pre-born babies. and now young children are on the hit list. Who's next?

Oh and while I'm at it If the story below doesn't shame our Political Leaders then nothing will.
