This episode begins with a brief mention of the passing of our long time friend, Coun. Jason Schreyer, which was announced Wednesday morning. More about Jason to come.
Part 1- Updates on our stories on the go:
– A youth soccer club failed to address the bullying by an 11 year old by antisemitic club mates. This was a litmus test as the victim was mistakenly believed to be Jewish. It was, in fact, a hate crime.
– A few problems at the “information meeting” about bike lanes organized by Public Works chair Janice Lukes. The session ended early due to the behavior of some of the attendees- the ones she invited.
– The City is holding the additional Four Plex Open Houses this week, to poor reviews
– Marty’s analysis of the NDP collapse in Wednesday’s Winnipeg Sun – Singh crashes NDP Party and takes his pension with him

13.40 Part 2- Some thoughts about antisemitism during the campaign and the influence of Hamas supporters on Liberal candidates and on Jagmeet Singh; a media mention of CPC MP Ted Falk being re-elected proves how openly biased our local media is.
21.20- Elections Canada Malfunctions We Have Uncovered Point To Fraudulent Votes.
Advance polling and election day incidents demonstrate absurd gaps in the Elections Canada process which ultimately allows illegal votes to be counted. We are preparing more questions for officials.
29.00- Chances to catch up with Marty are coming up around local communities when he hosts CWE events this spring.
32.00 Part 3- The script got flipped at the Legislature on April 24 when the Justice Committee heard from the public on Bill 43- amendments to the Human Rights Code to create infractions to supposedly protect transgender people.
Committee chair Logan Oxenham, the MLA for Kirkfield Park, was flustered when presenter Don Woodstock raised a ‘what-if’ question if he adopted part of a controversial rap song title and used ‘Wet/Pussy’ as his pronouns.
A former Juvenile Correctional Officer and Counsellor at the Manitoba Youth Centre, Oxenham is the architect of numerous Manitoba gender policies because ‘he used to be a she.’ This is someone considered an “expert.”
43.40- Instead of upholding the right to your own pronouns as proposed in the Bill, Oxenham chose to interrupt Woodstock with a moral lecture that immediately backfired.
Oxenham: “Words matter in this room so please bemindful going forward with your presentation of using appropriate language”
Woodstock: “So I must come to you for permission to decide what pronouns I use or what I identify as – is that what you’re telling me??”
Woodstock continued to expose the misguided direction of the Bill, explaining how inventing new offences in case LGBTQ+ are offended “may put a target on their backs. Be careful what you wish for in this.”
There are probably cabinet members who have twerked to the song, but average citizens aren’t allowed to utter the song name in front of them?
Hear Woodstock’s argument that more important issues- including rampant crime and keeping society safe- should be the NDP’s priority instead of virtue signaling with legislation designed to make the process the punishment for anyone accused of offending transgender individuals.
48.00 – Listen to Woodstock challenge the pronoun-wielding Health Minister Ozuma Asagwara and the NDP for policing language when it won’t “protect the vulnerable among us. Who you kidding? you aren’t fooling me.”
There will be more audio from that hearing on the next podcast.
