The bottom line is that conservatives cant admit to themselves the Evil they have allowed to romp on their watch.
This is going to hurt.

Thanks. I DO know music VERY well up until about 2000. My knowledge of music after that IS a bit shaky because I haven't listened to much of it. I know the big names, and the names of their big albums and hit songs, but the only "newer" group I like is Greta Van Fleet. They're the young guys from Michigan who sound like Led Zeppelin. I've also been keeping up with some of the old rockers who are still active, like Neil Young and Bob Dylan. Bob's latest release, his first album of all original material since 2012, is quite good. It's titled Rough and Rowdy Ways, it's mostly sombre in tone, but it does feature a couple nice uptempo blues songs. The musicians backing him are top notch, and sound great. The release interestingly comes in a double CD format. 9 of the 10 songs, totaling about 54 minutes in length, are on one CD. The remaining track, "Murder Most Foul", Bob's take on the JFK assassination, which is about 17 minutes long, is on a separate disc. All ten songs could've fit on one CD. But the list price IS cheap for a double CD. "Murder Most Foul" is extraordinary. It's a slow, brooding, very hushed song, with only minimal backing. The lyrics are some of Bob's best in his long career. He names names, and clearly thinks there was a conspiracy. In fact, like me, he believes Oswald indeed WAS a "patsy", and actually didn't fire a single shot. The song brought me to slight tears, thinking about how Kennedy was killed so hideously in a public execution. It's just a really powerful song, with wonderful imagery and sadness. This release is a MUST for any Dylan fan OR any fans of rock and roll. HIGHLY recommended.

Thanks, again. And I'm starting to get interested in the Hard Bop Jazz music of the 50's and 60's. John Coltrane, the legendary saxophonist, is my current favorite musician. I've purchased three of his CD's in the last few weeks, and will probably purchase a fourth tomorrow. His music is just so interesting to me. Sometimes laid back and mellow, other times frantic and upbeat, the man was clearly a genius. Unfortunately he died of cancer at the far too young age of 40. But he left behind a huge catalog of music.

The point made by the writer is the following: failure to use a person’s pronoun of choice — “ze,” “zir,” “they” or any one of a multitude of other potential non-words — will land you in hot water with the commission. That, in turn, can lead to orders for correction, apology, Soviet-like “re-education,” fines and, in cases of continued non-compliance, incarceration for contempt of court.
There are several articles out there that state that the incarceration claim is false, but they actually corroborate many of the other claims. Here's a good example: https://factcheck.afp.com/no-canadia...gender-pronoun
Milne said the malicious misuse of a pronoun could be used to highlight a wider pattern of discrimination, but jailing someone is not a possible outcome for these type of lawsuits. The entity providing services could have to pay damages or send the concerned worker to sensitivity training, but not without other proof of discrimination.
In other words, the fines and "re-education" are real. The difference between this law and American anti-discriminatory laws is that the state here does not get involved in things like "sensitivity training", whereas the Canadian government does. It's very different for an employer to require an employee to take said training vs. having the state require it. That's when things get Orwellian.
