Trudeau Government Tells Public Service To End Use Of Words Like “Mother,” “Father,” “Mr.,” “Mrs,” Forcing Switch To “Gender-Neutral” Language
| According to documents obtained by Radio Canada, the French-language arm of CBC, front-line staff must now “use gender-neutral language or gender-inclusive language.”
“This avoids portraying a perceived bias toward a particular sex or gender,” says a copy of speaking notes prepared for managers and team leaders.
“It is important that Service Canada, as an organization, reflects Canada’s diverse population and ensures that the views and interests of Canadians..
| are taken into account when we develop policies, programs, services and initiatives,” says the directive.
The new guidelines also rule out using terms such as mother and father because they are “gender specific” and instead says the neutral term of “parent” should be used instead.
The same goes for honorifics such as Mr., Mrs., and Ms. and in both languages. Instead, employees are being directed to address customers by their full names or ask them what they want to be called.
| After the Official Opposition raised serious questions about the proposal, Social Development Minister Jean-Yves Duclos ‘clarified’ the measures, in what amounted to a desperate attempt to backtrack.
Of course, that’s not what the government document says according to the report. Workers are being told that they must use “gender-neutral” language, not that they have the choice of whether to use it.
| The report notes that the document specifically rules out the use of terms like Mother and Father.
So, what Duclos is doing is simply trying to distract from the truth of the insane order to the public service, hoping people will believe his tweet instead of the actual government documents referenced in the Radio Canada report.
This has been a usual tactic of the Trudeau government, who introduce some unpopular change and then try to distract from what the change really is..
| with some spin, while not actually altering what they are doing behind the scenes.
In fact, reports already contradict what Duclos is saying:
“According to an official, who asked to remain anonymous because they are not authorized to speak on the issue, the new directive is already in place and has led to some difficult situations for civil servants. “It happens that we talk to people and we ask, ‘What is the name of parent number one?’ People do not understand,” said the official.
| So, the policy is already in place, and is already causing problems. Quite different from the claim by Duclos that it’s only about using “gender-neutral” terms when people object. Most people wouldn’t have a concern about different terms being used if someone asked, but what is concerning is the government trying to wipe out terms that are simply based on the facts of human biology.
| Instead of balancing the budget, reducing the tax burden, and ensuring our national defence, the Trudeau government is trying to socially engineer our nation. It’s creepy, it’s a waste of resources, and it distracts from the real job of governing Canada.

| This sounds like yellow journalism. Can anyone get a primary source on what happened?

| Boooooooooooooooring! Aren't there other, more relevant, real news out there?
| "Hey you" masterrace
| Its like they want us to become machines. If they really wanted to be completely "gender-neutral", they should refer to us by our ID codes and nothing else.

>Its like they want us to become machines.
Well, this is exactly what capitalism is about. Machines are ideal slaves.

On the other hand, people still can identify with their work, their hobbies, their skills, their individual behaviour and character.
It's not like identity is determined by gender, nationality, culture, ethnicity or sexual orientation.
| >>207938 Why have physical form at all amirite?
And talking about capitalism like it's the only system relying on slaves is hilarious.

To be honest these are identys which society gives your for free (like ID's). There is no real personal effort behind it. I call these "fastfood mass identies" to rule the masses with the logic of "divide and conquer". But there is an important, society made, "master identity" behind all this, people lost awareness of (which is intentional): class identity.

Well, feudalism is not the big thing these days anymore. Except you see capitalism as "neofeudalism". In fact there were no other systems, except pre-agricultural tribal communism.
| >>207947 Anyways, I have to agree. There's always been activity to bring people on equal footing so that the higher classes don't exploit the lower classes too much. But eventually, when those higher classes become more and more passive, people overlook because their crimes are no longer in their face. Ironically, this is quite similar to the modern communist system, except this is worse because with capitalism, people are far more preoccupied with themselves.
| Oh shit JP was right post-modernists are secretly bringing back communism. I personally believe the main perpetrators to be the rich though.
| >>209913 Almost the entirety of the population of Canada should care. It's like that one parody of progressives posted a few years back where in the future you're not allowed to even address people by names but instead you say "one" to everyone so you don't offend people's feefees.
| This is why sjw's shouldn't be allowed to run countries, nothing more self destructive
| Im pro lgbt rights and all that jazz but the whole gender neutral pronouns seems like a pain in the ass....no pun intended hohohohoho. Idk i feel like i could end up insulting someone by accident when im just trying to talk or make a friend. Idk.
| We could make bets, next thing Trudeau will make gender neutral? Haircuts? Pet names?
| >>209741 Jordan Peterson have predicted this... for me this is the most scariest thing o have read in years after North Korea and missile tests. 1984 is more close than we expected...
| Calling parents "number 1" and "number 2" seems redundant to me. Personally, if forced to use gender-neutral terms, I'd ask for the 'dominant parent' and the 'submissive parent'.

| The federal government continues escalating the absurdity of their political correctness.
In a change nobody asked for, the Trudeau government plans to ban front-line public service workers from saying Mr., Mrs., Mother, and Father.
That’s according to a report by Radio Canada, who gained access to government documents stipulating the change. Here are key parts of that report:
