Hallowe’en No More – It’s Canada Thought-Police Day!
My post last night on the scary fairy gang…Hallowe’en In Turdistan? …has attracted many viewers, and some info I’d otherwise not have noticed.
So the least I can do is post again, on what has become of the fun festival that delighted me as a lad in Perth County, Ontario, so many years ago.
Well, it’s been outlawed altogether in one Winnipeg school.
The date 31 October is now being celebrated as “tie and scarf” day, one of four themed costume days the school settled on instead of celebrating Halloween.

But telling little children what to wear on Hallowe’en, or banishing the very name of the popular Canadian event from schools, is bad enough.
University students, at least in my undergrad years, were meant to be encouraged to think for themselves.
A tempora, a mores..Oh, for the good old days!

Not in Canada, not any more!
Brock University’s student union now vets the costumes of people attending their annual Halloween party and refuses entry to participants who don’t to comply with costume rules…

AND…
Last November, Queen’s University said it would investigate…
….after photos of students at a party dressed as Buddhist monks, Middle East sheiks and Vietcong, was published online, sparking controversy.
=
OMG! Whatever next?!?
===
Meanwhile..
At Waterloo University, the student union has launched an “I am not your costume” social media campaign.
=
=
Infantile.
One must, alas, expect such intolerant nonsense from student unions, but the first two police-state outbreaks were manifestations of college ADMINISTRATIONS.
Even relatively rational critics of this hogwash are apparently kow-towing, like a Toronto Star writer named Kate Jaimet…
=
=
…whose article “The Halloween ethno-police frighten me” was published after her four-year-old daughter was told she couldn’t dress as a “Native princess.”
Yet instead of sticking to her guns, Jaimet crumbled after a scolding from a few Indians, some indigenous readers who explained to her why they felt the costume was inappropriate…
=
=
“I’ve realised that…if agreeing that non-indigenous people shouldn’t dress up as indigenous people for Halloween is part of what it takes to have better race relations in this country, then I can accept that.“
WHAT THE HELL?
=
She’s lovely, NOT OFFENSIVE!
=
The Hell You Say!
Free speech, free choice, get binned because some people are too hypersensitive to see a girl in a cute costume?

So Halloween has been gutted, our founding fathers have been denigrated, and we even had some millenial turncoats in a Maritime university refusing to celebrate Canada Day..
Its time we took Canada back and kicked out those who hate our history and way of life.

A little off-topic, I admit, but there’s a good article here – http://redalertpolitics.com/2017/10/31/frightening-halloween-costume-che-guevara-t-shirt/ – about the idiots who wear Guevara costumes on Halloween. It makes the point that even although .getting dressed up as a communist murderer is offensive to all thinking people, that’s no reason to ban it.
Banning a little girl from trick or treating as an Indian princess is just stupid.
