65 year old Canadian woman living in London watching with horror what’s happening in Canada, I grew up in BC , western Canada the daughter of a logger , at 13 I would ride horseback for hours into the bush not a care in the world , now I know that I had a magical childhood.
Thank you Leslie and Benjamin for the conversation. I certainly didn't expect the winding side roads we took! I speak to so many concerned citizens and parents affected by gender ideology in Canada who are desperate to make changes in our laws and school policies. I hope that eventually our voices will carry more weight and I appreciate the ability to talk about it on your show. -Melanie
Thank you Melanie! You are doing great work by putting this info out there clearly and rationally, and modeling what it looks like to speak the truth without fear of being "canceled!" Keep an eye out for Benjamin to repost to his channel soon (with edits I'm sure, to make it look and sound even better 😊)
@canadiangenderwarsreport - Keep fighting! And keep the faith, Melanie! I'm a Brit who came back to Canada in 2017 after having taught in Southeast Asia and the Middle East for 14 years or so. I started teaching at a Canadian university in 2018 and was surprised at the level of far left indoctrination in North American universities. I also worked for a time at a big IT company and was shocked by the extent to which the far left ideas I encountered in academia had infiltrated even the private sector. We're seeing the fruit of these toxic ideas in the confusion faced by young people nowadays and in the open antisemitism on North American campuses.
@@canadianculturewarsreport they also don't really understand the ideologies that are driving everything and what the ultimate goals are. they just see: oh, injustice bad; diversity, equity and inclusion, that's good, right? just be kind. my younger brother actually told me that it was ok for male rapists to be in women's prisons cuz a correction's officer told him that the women line up for these guys. my brother is well-educated and in his mid 50s, BUT his wife is an elementary school teacher. she actually wears a shirt that says "just be kind"
There’s a phenomenon called “Canadian Nice,” which Canadians talk about among themselves. They’re so polite, overly polite, that it’s pathological. Some of it is passive-aggressiveness. But a lot of it is just the very cultural push to always keep things civil. It can be very lovely in many ways. But in other ways you just want to shake them and get them to react.
@@goodgrief888 yes, in part it's a reaction to the notion of the boorish American, and the attitude of, "well, at least we're not like them." i must say my take on Americans has change quite dramatically in the last few years.
@ilfautdanser9121 us too, glad someone else is talking about this :) sometimes it seems we're taught to think like that to keep us closer to reliance on the government teat, just a theory though
I'm so glad you realize that! Me too. I've thought that for years. We've been brainwashed to think that way. You keep telling someone something, and they begin to think it. I also find many Canadians are not nice. Try smiling at people. Watch what they do and how they react. Not very many days do I get people who smile back or even initiate it. I also notice that ethnic people do not inter mingle. Yet we're supposed to be multi-cultural. So, who did the multi-cultural "theme" benefit. Yes, you'll see a crowd of white with maybe a couple of other ethnic background. But you'll hand a hard time seeing rest in Indian culture "hanging out" with white people. So why come here. You segregate yourselves, yet change Canadians laws to suit your needs. I don't agree with that. Think about it, seriously. Would you go to Ireland and change the laws b because you believe that cows are sacred, so now cow meat is banned.
How Trans Ends: 1) The liability becomes too great. The government won't follow certain research but insurance companies and school districts will eventually have to pull out, albeit quietly. People will go to get their hormones and find out that their insurance isn't covering it. This is already happening in my state to some degree. A friend of mine received one week's supply of T for a whole month. 2) It becomes unpopular. It's easy to market this as attractive when most of the trans people you see are in media. It's totally different when your teenage friends have actually medicalized and you see them getting their mastectomy wounds drained and having complications. It's not attractive up close, it'll be harder to convince young people that that's a pathway to happiness. It'll also be harder to convince them that it's an accepting community when the community around them isn't kind. I'm actually grateful that my children are young right now because I don't think this will be happening in 10 years but the collateral damage is heartbreaking.
The inevitable happened when the woke left turned on each other. Feminists are split on the trans issue but the majority of mainstream feminist groups still support trans ideology so feminists are fighting. The LGBT community is split and fighting causing some to start the LGB alliance. Even the minority activists are being racist to white woke women and their allies. The whole movement is imploding. THe woke movement isnt about social justice, never was, its about political power.
You’re right about the collateral damage. The trans movement will blow over, after causing so much suffering to young kids. In 50-100 years people will look at it the way we look at lobotomies. Now maybe hundreds or thousands of years in the future we’ll have tech for changing our bodies with all kinds of science miracles that we don’t have today, but I think in the coming century there will be plenty of lawsuits and suffering and it will die out in favor of mental health treatment. Anxiety, Depression, Identity issues, all need to be treated in transgender people.
Both the Liberals and the NDP are down in the polls in Canada. However, I'm still concerned about the general unwillingness of the Canadian populace to question the Liberal, NDP, and Green leftist narrative that seems to dominate the mainstream media.
Good for Melanie! Just the act of speaking out and admitting some small fault is a wonderful example to role modeling humility for the rest of us. I, too, saw red flags in the 2010s, and I took my son out of school in 2011. It was the best-and most courageous-move I’ve made to date.
Thanks for saying that. I value humility and it wasn't easy admitting to myself I've been wrong about most things I believed throughout my life. Epistemic humility is still something I work on all the time. -Melanie Bennet
I discussed my experiences. Trans activists have yet to go after me but I've been on the receiving end of multiple "utra terf" cancellation attempts. Not excusing the TRAs, just giving context. -Melanie
@@canadianculturewarsreport I am someone who previously considered themselves feminist (fundamentally still am). I think most women are drawn towards feminism as a means to deal with their trauma, so there can be a lot of black & white thinking. If you do not agree with them on all points, they will feel threatened. However, I’d say most movements associated with leftist liberal thinking operate this way.
@@pukupuku I grew up with lots of feminists. It why despite my old left leaning, I never was one. Its still very difficult for many women to see the harms of identity politics when it comes to men/women. -Melanie
Oh my goodness this was a great discussion! I so relate to her feelings about how people are seeing me as I transition away from being a very overt and determined person of the left to voting completely differently in recent elections. So many on the left have NO idea what’s been going on under our noses as we have had little to no coverage of any of this on the media we’ve trusted for years.
I registered my 4 yr old for kindergarten and the form actually asked if my kid was trans girl, trans boy, non binary or 2 spirit. And then the picture chosen to say "welcome to kindergarten" was a Muslim 5 yr old girl in a Hijab. In Canada at least, I have never seen a Muslim 5 year old in a Hijab, it is usually when girls are starting puberty. The whole thing is just bizarre
The main battles taking place against the ideology seem to be in England (UK) with an ever growing supply of politicians, teachers, academics, and athletes who are fighting hard to combat Trans-ideology & Queer theory. It's not an easy battle, and the pushback is fierce, although we've notched up a few big wins recently with the Cass report & the Gillian Keegan report into schools (age appropriate) sex education & the eradication of all Trans-ideology for all ages up to eighteen . . . . Many more battles to be won before we have the T-ideology / Cult on the run ...
I identified so much with what Melanie said. I also used to part of the 'hating on America' crowd. I now greatly admire how much they are fighting back against what is happening in schools. Watching some of the parents (and kids!) speak out at school board meetings has been heartening.
Great discussion! I really think that they’re just going to keep pushing people out of their ideological circle until there’s just a few of them left as more and more regular folk decide “You know what? I’m ok with being called a right winger.” That’s my hope.
@@TheWerewolfOfNorway-mf5jz What are you talking about? All of my relatives, and most of my friends, and everyone I work with considers themselves leftists and many are even openly communist. From where I am there’s millions of them. Fortunately I’m now starting to encounter more and more people who secretly no longer call themselves left. But they are outliers.
At 57:09 you are discussing being on a list from Kelly Jay, I think. I just think you can swing too far on a different ideological capture. I still will listen to people's ideas around this issue but I tend to trust more nuanced approaches. I don't always agree with Julia Mallott (breastfeeding men for example, cannot understand how this isn't perceived as ok to do) but I will accept Julia's views for the most part. Thank you for having Melanie on, it is reassuring to hear other Canadians are questioners of the current ideology. One thing I would like to point out is, I don't think people are fully aware of why things feel off. Aside from the obvious things like housing, grocery prices and medical services, the other stuff is rarely discussed and if it is, it's like tiptoeing around the subject in a delicate fashion. I am Canadian but I lived in the US after 9/11 until 2006. I found it shocking about how people just threw their opinions out so freely. I now miss it. I miss it because though I found myself arguing in a civil way about gay marriage with my mormon driving instructor, I knew deep down that I didn't have the same freedom to speak freely in Canada. It is eye opening when you live in new places that aren't your own. I even noticed a difference between the view of Canada depending on your city or province or within your province. I think living in numerous areas can really open your eyes about your own country. Anyway thank you for your videos.
I am disappointed to see this is no longer just Leslie's, as her voice is important and even more importantly, because Benjamin tends to dominate the conversation and already has his own channel.
@@theradicalcenter I'm glad you and Benjamin can look out for each other, and I hope that you can help each other reflect on this particular interview and the dangers parent groups etc need to look out for re agency infiltration, monitoring , and takeover. It's no longer the time for a default trust position where stories and background do not ring true.
It's interesting that You Tube inserted a "Context Panel" below this video's title - it was explaining what climate change is, of all things to find countering their approved narrative they thought we needed schooling on climate change!
She talks about it in the conversation. But she doesn't get into any "climate denial," rather, she mentions that when she was studying climate science at university the students were told to make UA-cam channels to "advocate" for climate change awareness. The warning is richly ironic.
@@theradicalcenter I bet the AI monitoring the dialog can only erect one context box. Funny it selected climate over trevor. A rare glimpse into its soulless, algorithmic hierarchy. 🐿
Not yet been introduced to Ms. Melanie, but think it is her name I have been hearing quite a bit about, in the last week or so. The Kitty welcomes Ms. Leslie and Mr. Coffee, as they are teaming up on this one 🐈
One issue I have is talking to other adults locally and my information being from the east side of Canada when we live in the west side. I'm met with "Open to discussion but you're talking about Toronto, not Vancouver."
It can be very destabilizing to find out that the belief system and values you once thought were true are false. At the same time you have to abandon preconceived opinions in order to pursue the truth . It is this quest for truth that leads out of the quick sand if lies we once believed in.
I spent 6 months at UEA in 2003 in the Literature program, and it was delightful yet crazy then, as well. It was definitely fun being an American at UEA when the U.S. went into Iraq, let me tell you. My Scottish friends had to tell people to back off once in a while.
Much like Melanie says at 1:06:42, I never expected myself to be here, looking right of centre and thinking, by God we really need more yeehaw in this movement. I've listened to Jeremy Mackenzie and Diagalon for years now (thank you covid narrative) and think it's hilarious that Trudeau is desperately trying to make them this ugly boogeyman- give me a break. I am grateful to have strong voices and ideas against which I can measure my own understandings and values. I love the term I heard somewhere- let a thousand flowers bloom- if people value free and independent thought and expression, you have to accept that some people don't agree with you in totality. Thank you for sharing this conversation, I will be looking for Melanie's work here in Canada and thank you Benjamin and Leslie for your work also. ❤
This lady represents the canadian citizen to the T. She seems to have been for all the things she is fighting against today, this is how the liberal mondset works, and as we see more and more of this phenomenon we have to be aware that its nothing but a temporary hold, but kathulu only ever moves left..
It's also how agency folks work. I worry for the parents groups , and their naivete re agency folks entering and co-opting their groups to track and neutralize dissent.
Thanks, Leslie for mentioning Durkheim’s anomie! I’m trying to think into which of Yuri Bezmenov’s subversion model stages it ms most like. I thought the ‘Demoralization’ stage. The AI tool (Poe) I’m querying, thinks it’s the ‘Crisis’ stage.
Bravo Mélanie! Bisous! You know we have a cabin waiting for you up here. 😜 I find it strange that Quebecers don't like Americans, they do more business with the States than with the rest of Canada. The east coast Frenchies like Americans. Half our family is across the river in Maine. We came very close to being Americans ourselves, we're only Canadians by pure accident of history.
It may be an idea to ‘self-censor’ by using replacement words to avoid algorithmic suppression. Still say the same MESSAGE, but maybe say ‘Kermit change’ or ‘crumpet change’.
Experts in medicine told us "the jab stops spread", which is propaganda. A UN affiliated climate expert told us in 1989 that around the year 2000, the "tipping point" for run-away global warming would occur. Experts all too often are merely agents for propaganda.
Oh dear, I didn't realise Kellie Jay had started issuing lists! That's pretty terrible, disappointing she doesn't understand what she is joining when she starts that sort of thing.
🪻I tried educating myself 2020, I was confused about wth my friends were posting about "trans" rights to use women's spaces. Only took 20 minutes for me to see right through it. I lost dozens of "friends" for expressing in a comment that just because a male is wearing a dress does not mean I automatically OWE him the freedom to enter. I was told that I should assume the best in that male, was labeled terf bigot. Then, I almost got sucked into Shapiro style conservativism (yuck) because it seemed the only alternative. A year later, I saw there is only the woke and the anti-woke-woke. I'm neither, my classic liberal values have not changed. I was so relieved to find this channel created by a strong minded woman. It's actual therapy! Thank you, Leslie, you are giving the world a priceless service.
@spartan6005 - Maybe "demand" isn't quite how I'd go about making a request on this channel.🙂But I do agree with you - Janice Fiamengo would be a great guest.
CULT: They believe in something that's not true, they despise anyone who doesn't agree with them, they love bomb potential members, they separate the child from the parent, they think the world agrees with them, and they even have their own language. Cult tactics 101. 🇦🇺👍
@@Knuck_Knucks All I can do is find my voice and speak my truth. Calling it into question could be seen as triggering, a safe space violation and a micro aggression.
I'm glad that I can inspire. I'm just an average citizen like all the other average citizens I've gotten to know in the last year. Each one, taking responsibility to raise awareness, often at great personal cost. Perhaps you might even be inspired to become active yourself? :) - Melanie
😂 people often read implausible/ inconsistent accent affectations as like Australian accents. But as an Australian, my guess at the underlying accent would be something Eastern European, (maybe with a little time in Australia).
Half way through and the discussion has turned towards climate stuff. Not irrelevant or uninteresting, but not the topic. Advise you to try to stay more on track
The "science" driving both of these topics is corrupt, while sharing the same goal. They share the same audience and are weaponized to provoke cultural destabilization 🐿
Have you ever made a poor decision? What did you do in response? I had no idea what was going on. I wasn't on social media at all and the Canada of my childhood was perfectly fine. I didn't notice anything when visiting my family because none of this is immediately obvious to the casual observer, especially not in the 2010s. If I hadn't moved, I would probably still be in my leftist bubble. Life hands us challenges sometimes. What we do when faced with those challenges is what matters. - Melanie
this nonsense is taking over the Western world, Canada is just ahead of the curve, as is Australia. once Labour gets into power, the UK will be done as well. this is a top-down endeavour. TPTB _are_ telling the people with pitchforks that those with torches are going to steal their pitchforks. and the US isn't really a whole lot better off than Tranada. i believe that Civil War 2.0 could happen quicker than people might think.

Much like Melanie says at 1:06:42, I never expected myself to be here, looking right of centre and thinking, by God we really need more yeehaw in this movement. I've listened to Jeremy Mackenzie and Diagalon for years now (thank you covid narrative) and think it's hilarious that Trudeau is desperately trying to make them this ugly boogeyman- give me a break. I am grateful to have strong voices and ideas against which I can measure my own understandings and values. I love the term I heard somewhere- let a thousand flowers bloom- if people value free and independent thought and expression, you have to accept that some people don't agree with you in totality. Thank you for sharing this conversation, I will be looking for Melanie's work here in Canada and thank you Benjamin and Leslie for your work also. ❤
This lady represents the canadian citizen to the T. She seems to have been for all the things she is fighting against today, this is how the liberal mondset works, and as we see more and more of this phenomenon we have to be aware that its nothing but a temporary hold, but kathulu only ever moves left..
It's also how agency folks work. I worry for the parents groups , and their naivete re agency folks entering and co-opting their groups to track and neutralize dissent.
We were at that protest!
Thanks, Leslie for mentioning Durkheim’s anomie! I’m trying to think into which of Yuri Bezmenov’s subversion model stages it ms most like. I thought the ‘Demoralization’ stage. The AI tool (Poe) I’m querying, thinks it’s the ‘Crisis’ stage.
Bravo Mélanie! Bisous! You know we have a cabin waiting for you up here. 😜
I find it strange that Quebecers don't like Americans, they do more business with the States than with the rest of Canada. The east coast Frenchies like Americans. Half our family is across the river in Maine. We came very close to being Americans ourselves, we're only Canadians by pure accident of history.
Great interview! Wondering if it is possible to include the links to studies/organizations that Melanie referenced.
It may be an idea to ‘self-censor’ by using replacement words to avoid algorithmic suppression. Still say the same MESSAGE, but maybe say ‘Kermit change’ or ‘crumpet change’.
The Agile 'methodology' is a disaster.
it's incredible that you found a housewife that's an expert in medicine AND climate change, fascinating!
Pretty sure she's not a housewife!
@@theradicalcenter yeah I stopped paying attention when she said nothing of substance beyond reactionary ignorance
Experts in medicine told us "the jab stops spread", which is propaganda. A UN affiliated climate expert told us in 1989 that around the year 2000, the "tipping point" for run-away global warming would occur. Experts all too often are merely agents for propaganda.
great stuff!
why does this get a "climate change" community note?
Oh dear, I didn't realise Kellie Jay had started issuing lists! That's pretty terrible, disappointing she doesn't understand what she is joining when she starts that sort of thing.
Sorry I didn't catch that... what sort of lists?
SOMEONE is infiltrating parent groups and making lists , and it's not KJK .
It's the King's policy. Maintain faith with your superior Lord.
42:56 --> Very nice insight by Leslie.
It's all to do with the medical profits.
🪻I tried educating myself 2020, I was confused about wth my friends were posting about "trans" rights to use women's spaces. Only took 20 minutes for me to see right through it. I lost dozens of "friends" for expressing in a comment that just because a male is wearing a dress does not mean I automatically OWE him the freedom to enter. I was told that I should assume the best in that male, was labeled terf bigot.
Then, I almost got sucked into Shapiro style conservativism (yuck) because it seemed the only alternative.
A year later, I saw there is only the woke and the anti-woke-woke.
I'm neither, my classic liberal values have not changed.
I was so relieved to find this channel created by a strong minded woman. It's actual therapy!
Thank you, Leslie, you are giving the world a priceless service.
These people are weak
We do what we can when it's time.
I demand you have Janis Fiamingo on the show
@spartan6005 - Maybe "demand" isn't quite how I'd go about making a request on this channel.🙂But I do agree with you - Janice Fiamengo would be a great guest.
But isn't that what cults do?
CULT: They believe in something that's not true, they despise anyone who doesn't agree with them, they love bomb potential members, they separate the child from the parent, they think the world agrees with them, and they even have their own language. Cult tactics 101. 🇦🇺👍
1:02:33 Great point. "Canada has a way ...."
As a Native American Rookie Muslim I see parents as superfluous and a friction point to state-directed advancement.
This is some kind of joke. Right? 🐿
@@Knuck_Knucks All I can do is find my voice and speak my truth. Calling it into question could be seen as triggering, a safe space violation and a micro aggression.
@@BillyWhaler Okay. Now I know you're joking. Also, your " Kpop " play list totally outed you. As you were... 🐿
Melanie, a new heroine of mine!
I'm glad that I can inspire. I'm just an average citizen like all the other average citizens I've gotten to know in the last year. Each one, taking responsibility to raise awareness, often at great personal cost. Perhaps you might even be inspired to become active yourself? :) - Melanie
Please interview the "leader" of diagolon. You wont regret it.
Sounds like a suggestion a "fed" would make , in order to have an excuse to smear and shut down people for " association".
She bounces around a bit. I'm torn between feeling she may be really insightful to being flaky.
Or something else entirely. Why are people not noticing ? It's sooo obvious!
@@georginawhitby1320
What?
Leslie, you totally look like Kelly Macdonald from Boardwalk Empire. You're stunning!
Thanks- that's a flattering comparison!
I didn't watch, but rather listened. If you don't see her face, all you hear is Mia Ashton.
😂 people often read implausible/ inconsistent accent affectations as like Australian accents. But as an Australian, my guess at the underlying accent would be something Eastern European, (maybe with a little time in Australia).
But then again , her accent shifts profoundly just after the one hour mark, so who knows?
1:23:05 so crazy had just come accross the toolkit and was reading his work
We need a shorter summary to get this out to more people!
Or a few clips maybe!
Julia Malotta 💗✨
I'm 63 from Texas and your title is just so rude... Rouge
Half way through and the discussion has turned towards climate stuff. Not irrelevant or uninteresting, but not the topic. Advise you to try to stay more on track
The "science" driving both of these topics is corrupt, while sharing the same goal.
They share the same audience and are weaponized to provoke cultural destabilization 🐿
There is a lot of overlap, if you listen.
lt's all about the indoctrination, and the narrative, and what you are allowed to question.
@@theradicalcenter Yeah, I just wasn't listening. How stupid of me.
It's ok. Happens to the best of us.
You. Ant reason people out of something they didn’t reason themselves into. It had to come from a deeper place .

Tom Nelson Podcast. Climate realism.
"Trying" to "escape" "Brexit" by moving to Tranada! How'd that work out for you?
Have you ever made a poor decision? What did you do in response? I had no idea what was going on. I wasn't on social media at all and the Canada of my childhood was perfectly fine. I didn't notice anything when visiting my family because none of this is immediately obvious to the casual observer, especially not in the 2010s. If I hadn't moved, I would probably still be in my leftist bubble. Life hands us challenges sometimes. What we do when faced with those challenges is what matters. - Melanie
this nonsense is taking over the Western world, Canada is just ahead of the curve, as is Australia. once Labour gets into power, the UK will be done as well. this is a top-down endeavour. TPTB _are_ telling the people with pitchforks that those with torches are going to steal their pitchforks. and the US isn't really a whole lot better off than Tranada. i believe that Civil War 2.0 could happen quicker than people might think.
The Gospel of Jesus, the Christ, *Son* of the Living God is the only, glorious answer.
John 3:3-5; Acts 2:38-39... 🎁
Can't act.
Not buying the act either ( and it obviously is an act ).
And can't maintain a consistent accent.
Oy
Vey
Please ask your guests to watch their language. 🚽
I personally do watch my language, but I don't get after other adults for how they speak.
Yeah, that guy....
@@theradicalcenter 🤦♂
