Moronic Manitoba Outlaws ‘ASIMIL8’ – Why? Hurt Feelings!
Manitoba’s public insurance company has revoked a Star Trek inspired custom licence plate after receiving complaints that it’s offensive.
Nick Troller’s two-year-old plate reads
“ASIMIL8.”
Apparently, according to the victim, it’s a reference to the cyborg villains who bellowed “you will be assimilated” on various Star Trek series and movies.

I haven’t been a Star Trek fan since Captain Kirk was on black and white tv, but that doesn’t matter.
Mr Troller was served with a letter that states:
“…it has been brought to the attention of this office that the personalized plate ASIMIL8 is considered offensive.”

What’s offensive about assimilation?
And who gives a sh-t if some lame-brain gets ‘offended’ by something that is none of his or her business, another citizen’s witty licence plate?
Nobody forces us to peruse license plates, unless we’re in a road accident, and then it’s not FEELINGS getting hurt!

But nowadays, in Manitoba (which used to be a very sensible province) the authorities practice serious tantrum prevention!

The letter demanded that he “surrender” the plate immediately.
My first response was that any lame-brained dorks who complained were most likely to be pampered millennials, leftist sticky-beak creeps who have nothing better to do than wander round town all day desperately seeking ‘hurt feelings.’
But maybe not!
There’s a rather well-off character, ‘aboriginal,’ it seems, though he doesn’t look very Red Indian and in fact has an Irish surname…

and Ry Moran is among those who agree with MPI that the word “assimilate” is too offensive to be on a licence plate.
“For basically the entirety of this country’s history, indigenous peoples have been forcibly assimilated through really extremely destructive means and ways.”
Oh For Pete’s Sakes!
He’s done okay out of being assimilated! Imagine using hoary grudges as an excuse for state censorship!
Assimilation should be a national policy in Canada. All those primitives caught committing so-called ‘honour’ killings? All those backward wretches in burkas?

There’s a DESPERATE need for such aliens to be taught that they live in a civilised country where their barbarous ‘cultures’ are unwelcome.
Thanks to PJ Media for publicising this.

I couldn’t agree more with their Tom Knighton, who says that if this kind of nonsense continues, and people are bullied into submission by the state, then while public discourse will be far more civil in appearance, it wouldn’t be due to sudden magnanimity.
We would simply be living in fear. Popular, uncontroversial speech has never needed protection, after all. And until now, neither did ridiculously misinterpreted language

I get so P++SED off with these sub-standards always whining about how offended things make them feel.
I couldn’t care less if their feelings are hurt. They are not little babies in play-groups, are they? Grown up people get offended then get over it.
You hit the bulls-eye about the primitives in burqas and all the other rubbish in this country who won’t assimilate. Why come to Canada if they want to be alien?
My family came from a long way away over fifty years ago and we were more than happy to become Canadian.

We got along well enough with the Indians here in Canada until the left started teaching them to exploit the stupid liberal human rights BS. Then what happened in Ontario with that Caledonia crowd changed everything and now its kind of poisonous.
You are right though, ASIMIL8 is 100% what the primitive Middle East Pakistan/Somalia immigrants need to do.
I think that I must be not much different in age from you Ross.. I sure am glad I wont be around in twenty or thirty years to see what happens to our country once its total multicultural. Real Canadians wont get much of a hearing from Human Rights Courts or will it be shariah courts by then.
Thanks for all the good work you do, I have just about given up but it is great to see some of us still fighting back.
