We should let Jordan Peterson know, I'm sure he could make some more money from being indignant about it. Damn it!

Perhaps WestJet can reach out with a sponsorship deal.

Yes. Piers Bloody Morgan has been facing a bit of backlash for calling out this stuff in the UK. Apparently there are now "a hundred genders".

It defies belief, but doesn't surprise me in the least.....sadly its the way the modern world is becoming.

An older friend of mine (in his late 60s) said to me a few years ago "You know Paul sometimes I think I have been here too long on this planet....." I am rapidly beginning to understand how he feels!

Some truth in that. Generational change I suppose. Maybe just Western affluenza.

I have no idea why the gammons get so upset by this kind of stuff. It doesn't actually affect them in the slightest, it's just that they can't accept that they're not always in control of popular opinion. Possibly it makes them realise that they're getting old and irrelevant.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gammon_(insult)
Gammon is a pejorative term popularised in British political culture since around 2012, which received press coverage in 2018. In 2018, it became particularly known as a term to describe middle-aged or older men on the political right or who supported Brexit. ...
