VANCOUVER, British Columbia — As a North American based in Europe for the past 15 years, one of the most striking things that I notice when back "home" visiting is the growing societal friction as a result of rampant "wokeism." That is, problems being caused by the leftist-driven redefinition of even the most traditional and basic concepts. It's something that just doesn't exist in Europe, and European leaders are hoping to keep it that way.
The U.S. and Canadian press is routinely rife with debate now over what seem like gratuitous acts of attempted social engineering. Recently, Nike featured a transsexual social media influencer in some of its ads for women's sports bras despite the individual being as flat as a pancake. The American brewing company, Anheuser-Busch, also hired the same trans influencer to advertise their Bud Light beer in a video where the individual is seen cracking open a cold one to celebrate "day 365 of womanhood" while admitting to not having a clue as to what "March Madness" was.

Bah! Marsden has clearly never been in a classroom in the US or Canada. For someone who lives in Europe, but writes in defense of Russia, she shouldn't be taken seriously by anyone who takes any time to think.
None of what she wrote is remotely correct and A-B's stock went down 0.25% over their transgender ad, not $5 billion at all.

The Ontario City Council is set to adopt the 2023-24 budget during its May 23 meeting. However, one item — reinstating a $5 public safety fee on water bills — hangs in the balance. While reinstating it passed the budget committee, three on the council who also serve on that committee voted against it, along with the entire budget.
