    And if you continue you will be asked to leave my thread.

    • I understand that the Canadian Cancer Society is advising trans women (or biological males who identify as female) to get screened for cervical cancer -- although there is a disclaimer noting that if you're a male who identifies as a woman and still have your penis then disregard the advice.

      Either way, they still won't have a cervix.

        A few interesting tidbits from the details of the report:
        - The protesting truckers were funded by being given envelopes stuffed with $2000. There's no money trail regarding where this cash was coming from.
        - A Canadian millionaire was paying for hotel rooms for the leaders during the protests.
        - The first idea for it was floated on TikTok by a Canadian trucker
        - The convoy leaders didn't understand the basic fact that it was the US, not Canada, that was requiring the vaccinations for border crossings

          Next up, the Chinese government proclaims that covid didn't come from the Wuhan lab but was really released by American agents.

            Yes. That was after it investigated itself and found itself completely innocent.

                          You said the report was generated by a "neutral" third party. Diogenes scoffed, and you asked for evidence that they weren't neutral.

                          The headline in the link:

                          The Broadbent Institute is Canada's leading progressive, independent organization championing
                          change through the promotion of democracy, equality, and sustainability and the training of
                          a new generation of leaders
                          .
                          (emphasis mine)

                          Progressive bent, environmentalist leaning, and "training of new leaders." Not a neutral organization.

                                You linked to the left-leaning media outlet, so that is what I researched.

                                As far as the voluminous report submitted by Rouleau, to absorb that entire thing would be the perfect cure for insomnia. It was sufficient to read the non-neutral language contained in the executive summary: "At the centre of these protests was the Freedom Convoy, a loosely organized collection of groups who travelled across the country to Ottawa, entrenching themselves there for three weeks and demanding radical change to government policies."
