Opinion

Female athletes are turning against gender-confused men dominating women’s sports

If female athletes came together and demanded, with one voice, that female sports be protected, they would be pushing at an open door.

What happens when obvious truths about the differences between the sexes are denied by the elites at the behest of the transgender movement? And what happens when female athletes discover that their rights mean less than the newly invented “rights” of trans-identifying men to invade their spaces?  

We’ve seen the answer to that play out over the past few years. This month alone, a trans-identifying male beat his female competitors at an Oregon track meet by a full six seconds, with the video of him zipping across the finish line sparking outrage; a trans-identifying marathon runner announced that he will be competing in the full set of six marathon majors in Boston in the male, female and “non-binary” categories; and courts in West Virginia and Ohio ruled that trans-identifying males can compete on female sports teams. 

In the meantime, U.K. culture secretary Lucy Frazer called for a ban on males in female sports after meeting with representatives of a number of female sports leagues, writing: 

In competitive sport, biology matters. And where male strength, size and body shape gives athletes an indisputable edge, this should not be ignored. By protecting the female category, they can keep women’s competitive sport safe and fair and keep the dream alive for the young girls who dream of one day being elite sportswomen.

She concluded, “We must get back to giving women a level playing field to compete. We need to give women a sporting chance.” Refreshingly, she called on sporting bodies to take an “unambiguous position” on the matter. 

That, of course, is common sense. What makes Frazer’s statements significant is that she does not, like most politicians trying to thread the needle by accepting transgender ideology but rejecting the inevitable conclusions thereof, make multiple references to “transgender women.” She instead refers to keeping male bodies out of female sports, much to the outrage of trans activists, who insist that males who identify as females are females, and thus have female bodies, because they said so.  

Over the past several years, it has fallen largely to the few female sportswomen who dared to risk the opprobrium of the LGBT movement to speak for the majority and point out the unfairness of allowing males to invade their sporting domains; now, an increasing number are willing to speak out. A recent study conducted by Manchester Metropolitan and Swansea universities, published April 17 in the Journal of Sports Sciences, indicates that the majority of female athletes want women’s sports to be categorized by sex rather than “gender identity.” 

Fifty-eight percent of respondents in the study of elite female athletes wanted categorization by biological sex; that rose to 77 percent among those classified as “world-class athletes” who had competed in Olympic or world championship finals. Researchers surveyed 175 “national, elite and world class female athletes – current and retired – from a range of sports and countries” and included “26 world champions, 22 Olympians and six Paralympians,” making it the largest study of its kind conducted thus far. A BBC Sports study last month found that over 100 elite U.K. female athletes “would be uncomfortable” with trans-identifying males competing in the female categories of their sports. 

In short, the higher female athletes climb, the more likely they are to object to trans-identifying males competing in their categories. Most of these athletes, of course, remain unnamed. Imagine if they came out together and demanded, with one voice, that female sports be protected. It would constitute a cultural sea change – and I suspect the moment is right for them to do so. If they pushed, they would be pushing at an open door.

2025 Federal Election

Campaign 2025 : The Liberal Costed Platform – Taxpayer Funded Fiction

Published on

The Opposition with Dan Knight Dan Knight's avatar Dan Knight

Carney is trying to redefine the deficit by splitting it into two categories: “operating” and “capital”—a little trick borrowed from UK public finance to confuse voters and dodge political accountability. It’s not something Canada has ever used in federal budget reporting, and there’s a reason for that: it’s misleading by design.

Mark Carney, the unelected banker-turned-savior of the Liberal Party, stood on a stage at Durham College on April 19 and did what professional economic grifters do best—he smiled politely, gestured at some numbers, and attempted to sell Canadians on a $130 billion illusion.

He called it a “costed platform.” What it really was, was a pitch deck for national decline—a warmed-over slab of recycled Trudeauism, backed by deficit delusion and framed as “bold leadership.”

And yes, the numbers are real. Terrifyingly real.

The Liberal platform promises $130 billion in new spending over four years, while running deficits of $62.3 billion this year, $59.9 billion next year, and still sitting at $48 billion in the red by 2028. To balance all of this out? A magical $28 billion in “unspecified cuts.” Not outlined. Not itemized. Just floated in the air like a promise from a door-to-door vacuum salesman.

Carney, in his perfectly rehearsed banker tone, assures us it’s not spending. No, it’s “investment.” Which is hilarious, because that’s exactly what Justin Trudeau said when he kicked off a decade of reckless spending, capital flight, and housing inflation. Carney has simply pulled off the Liberal magic trick of rebranding debt as growth.

But this isn’t just fiscal mismanagement. This is coordinated, high-level dishonesty.

Let’s be clear: Mark Carney is not new to any of this. He isn’t some white knight riding in to clean up Trudeau’s mess. He is the mess. He was Trudeau’s economic consigliere. He sat in the backrooms when they passed Bill C-69, which throttled Canada’s energy sector. He championed ESG, oversaw the implosion of GFANZ (his climate finance alliance), and helped drive $500 billion in investment out of this country.

Now he’s back—wearing a new title, making the same promises, using the same playbook. Only this time, he’s brought a spreadsheet.

In one breath, Carney says we need to “diversify trade.” In the next, he’s counting on $20 billion in one-time countertariff revenues to prop up his platform. In one paragraph, he says Canada will be “fiscally responsible.” In the next, he admits the deficit will nearly double this year. He claims he’ll spend 2% of GDP on defense—but not until 2029, because, of course, there’s no urgency when you’re protected by the American military umbrella you secretly resent.

And his housing plan? If you thought things couldn’t get worse than Justin Trudeau’s housing disaster, buckle up. Carney’s solution is modular housing—yes, government-subsidized, prefabricated micro-boxes dropped onto federally controlled land.

Mark Carney will never live in modular housing. His children will never live in modular housing. But for you, the taxpayer? That’s the future he envisions—managed housing, managed economy, managed speech, managed life.

He’s not here to lift Canadians up. He’s here to lock them down—into a permanent, bureaucratically engineered middle class, dependent on state subsidies and grateful for whatever dignity Ottawa hasn’t yet taxed away.

And when asked how he’ll find the $28 billion in cuts needed to make this plan remotely plausible, his answer was priceless:

“Technology, attrition, and a review of consultant contracts.”

Translation: “We don’t know.”

And here’s where the grift goes full throttle—the accounting scam.

Carney is trying to redefine the deficit by splitting it into two categories: “operating” and “capital”—a little trick borrowed from UK public finance to confuse voters and dodge political accountability. It’s not something Canada has ever used in federal budget reporting, and there’s a reason for that: it’s misleading by design.

Here’s how it works: Carney claims that by 2028, the government will run an “operating surplus.” Sounds responsible, right? Like the books are balanced?

Wrong.

Because even while he’s claiming an “operating surplus,” the federal government will still be running a $48 billion deficit overall. That’s real debt—borrowed money the country doesn’t have.

So how does he square the circle?

Simple: he relabels infrastructure and program spending as “capital investment”, pushes it off to the side, and tells you the main budget is in good shape.

But guess what?

You still owe the money.
The debt still grows.
And interest payments still stack up.

It’s like maxing out your credit card, then saying “no problem—I only overspent on long-term purchases, not day-to-day expenses.”

Try that line with your bank. Let me know how it goes.

This isn’t honest budgeting. It’s spreadsheet manipulation by a guy who knows how to massage the optics while the house burns down.

And let’s not forget who we’re talking about here.

This is the man who moved his financial headquarters to New York while lecturing Canadians about economic sovereignty.

This is the guy with a Cayman Islands tax haven, who built his fortune offshore and now wants to manage your budget while shielding his own.

This is the architect of GFANZ—the so-called climate finance alliance—that imploded under his leadership. The same alliance that saw JPMorgan, Citigroup, and the Big Six Canadian banks bail because Carney couldn’t keep the cartel together without running afoul of antitrust laws.

This is the same man mentioned in Marco Mendicino’s Emergencies Act texts—the man who said, Move the tanks on the protesters.

That’s right.

He wasn’t calling for dialogue. He wasn’t calling for democracy. He was calling for force—on peaceful Canadians exercising their rights. That’s who this is.

So let’s drop the fantasy.

Mark Carney isn’t here to save you.

A Perfect Storm of Corruption, Foreign Interference, and National Security Failures

Canada’s Democracy Under Siege: And You’re Paying for It

Grab a drink…this is a long one…

We are witnessing an unprecedented erosion of our democratic institutions, fueled by a trifecta of domestic corruption, foreign interference, and alarming national security lapses.​..while the Legacy Media continues to Promote the greatest attack on Canada – The Liberal Party of Canada.

A Complicit Media Machinery

Our taxpayer-funded media outlets, have completely abandoned journalistic integrity, morphing into propaganda arms for the Liberal Party, promises of more funding by the Liberals – defunding by the Conservatives. They disseminate narratives that label concerned citizens as unpatriotic, diverting attention from the real issues plaguing our nation.​

This weekend…CTV had the stones to post this:

Image

If this doesn’t get your blood boiling and throwing out a few Blue Words…nothing will.

These people are engaged in hit-pieces against the federal and provincial conservatives on Abortion – which is absolutely not a topic anybody is talking about, Poilievre not signing an NDA for Security Clearance – that he already has – barring the New and Improved Trudeau version on Foreign Interference…and Alberta NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi continuing to coin his “Punching Down” comments in regards to Premier Smith’s and the UCP legislation to protect parental rights and not allow children to be mutilated nor take chemicals which will alter them forever – to protect people who are gender confused or who’ve been peer-pressured into believing that God put them in the wrong body.

Even Carney came out in statements to say that while he believes there are only 2 sexes, he’ll be forcing Alberta to do away with protective legislation – approved by Albertans!

And the Taxpayer funded Nanos polling seemingly only wants to have Liberals included in their polling – CTV promoting messages that Conservatives are either Not Canadians, or as some sort of Fringe Minority – (where have we seen this before) while the statistics on crime show clearly that the Liberals, through their ‘Catch and Release’ & ‘Hug A Thug’ legislation have created:

Image

Statistics show that there has been an increase in:

Homicide: 33%

Auto Theft: 39%

Theft over $5000: 49%

Identity Theft: 121%

Firearm Crimes: 136%

Child Sexual Abuse: 141%

Human Trafficking: 210%

Extortion: 429%

Child Pornography: 565%

And this doesn’t even address the 50K Canadians Lives, lost to overdose following the Liberals promoting “Safe Injection Sites”, “No Charges for Possession of Illicit Narcotics” and “Taxpayer Funded Supply (Safe Supply)”.

Nor does it touch where the police in the GTA made recommendations to “Leave your car keys by your door”, so that criminals wouldn’t go through a full home invasion to steal your car…

Nor how Toronto Police Association continue to Scorch the Liberals on the abysmal failure of their nonsensical policies:

[Refill your drink here – make it stiffer]

Foreign Interference: A Silent Invasion

Reports have surfaced detailing how foreign entities, notably from China, have infiltrated our political landscape. One egregious example involves a Liberal candidate who advocated for the kidnapping of a political opponent, a transgression that was astonishingly overlooked by party leadership.

This, brought to light during the Election cycle…where it took the candidate to step down because Mark Carney – de facto caretaker Prime Minister – absolved him of a clear threat to our democracy and ignoring the Criminal Code of Canada…because he apologized?

We still have no idea:

  • How Many Canadians are on an Abduction for Cash List – by China;
  • How Much Bounty is being offered for Canadians on Canadian Soil, by China;
  • How many Chinese Police Stations – of which have ALSO been funded by Taxpayer Money, still exist in Canada.

Moreover, Chinese-backed influence campaigns have been detected on social media platforms, aiming to sway public opinion and undermine our electoral process.​

Adding in…Taxpayers funded 2 “we investigated ourselves and found that we did nothing wrong” investigations by Special Rapporteur and – Trudeau’s Uncle Dave Johnston, and Liberal Friendly Justice Marie-Josée Hogue…who both reassured Canadians – after 2 years of investigation – that there was not only “Nothing to see here” – but that “Misinformation” is the bigger of the concerns.

National Security: A System in Disarray

[Refill your drink here – make it even stiffer]

Our national security apparatus is failing us. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) has reported significant breaches, including the unauthorized transfer of sensitive information to foreign entities. A notable case involves scientists at the National Microbiology Laboratory who were found to have undisclosed ties to Chinese institutions, compromising our biosecurity.

9 Members of the Liberal Caucus/Cabinet – have been named – as they are guilty of gross negligence if not being complicit in the collapse of our National Security:

Furthermore, our cyber defenses are woefully inadequate. The Auditor General’s report highlights that Canada lacks the necessary tools and coordination to combat cybercrime effectively, leaving us vulnerable to attacks from hostile nations. ​

This convergence of media complicity, foreign meddling, and security failures represents a dire threat to our nation’s sovereignty and democratic integrity.


Advanced polling has begun.

Carney is still trying to lay out his mandate through excessive and being even more reckless with spending than Trudeau…

The Political Debates are clad in buffoonery…closing down conversations on the Number One issue Plaguing Canada – Immigration…

Shutting down the Media Scrum – Following the English Debate, citing Security Concerns…where the security concerns were having Independent Media being able to hold our future PM wannabe’s feet to the fire in their own question period…


From my being looped into conversations with political support and affiliation…I can tell you that all of the above is only the tip of the iceberg.

Doesn’t get to the depth of reporting that you can find through Sam Cooper and Andy Lee – especially on the Chinese hijacking of our democracy…

And while we’ve watched corruption stealing elections in other countries where political opponents have been Charged with Criminal Offenses and barred from running for Presidency – under the guise of Protecting Democracy through trumped up charges (don’t get me started on Trump) – watching the world burn:

We want to believe that this couldn’t happen in Canada…

Only, it is…

And we’re all on the hook for paying the tab on this!
