#North Oshawa

[coochiequeens]

A Canadian college invited a trans-identified male to speak on violence against women in observation of the 33rd anniversary of an act of mass femicide.

Fae Johnstone, a trans-identified male, gave a keynote address today at Durham College in North Oshawa, Ontario as part of the school’s National Day of Remembrance Ceremony marking the anniversary of a massacre that left 14 women dead.

Johnstone, who describes himself as “trans feminine and non-binary,” is the Executive Director at Wisdom2Action, an LGBT-focused consulting firm. Johnstone’s website lists him as a “public speaker, consultant, educator and community organizer on unceded, unsurrended Algonquin territory.”

On Twitter, Johnstone announced his speech was part of the school’s “16 Days of Activism” to end “GBV [gender-based violence].”

The event Johnstone spoke at today is described on the Durham College website as commemorating the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women in Canada.

The Day was first inaugurated by Parliament in 1991 as a way to honor the lives lost during the École Polytechnique massacre, which took place on December 6, 1989 in Montreal, Quebec. On the campus of the scientific university, a man identifying as an “anti-feminist” targeted female students for slaughter. 

Prior to shooting all of the women in a mechanical engineering class, Marc Lépine, born Gamil Rodrigue Liass Gharbi, told the male students to leave the room. He then told the women he was “fighting feminism” and expressed a hatred of women’s rights to an education.

“You’re women, you’re going to be engineers. You’re all a bunch of feminists. I hate feminists,” Lépine said, before opening fire on the female students. Lépine later committed suicide on the campus after taking 14 women’s lives, and injuring 10 more people.

In total, Lépine murdered 14 women in an act that has since been recognized an act of terrorism.

After his speech at Durham College tonight, Johnstone was confronted by Jennifer Anne, a Canadian women’s rights advocate who has been working to secure the release of the analysis that was done on gender self-identification legislation in Canada. 

Anne attended the event and recorded some of Johnstone’s address before proposing a question when given the opportunity by the event’s host. 

“Today is the day we mark 14 women who were killed in Montreal by a man who subjected them simply because they were female. It is sex-based violence, not gender based violence. I am a female,” Anne is heard saying, before listing off examples where self-identification lead to the victimization of women.

“I am wondering why, on this day, we would have a man dressed in women’s garb to talk to us about sex-based violence and keeping women safe? How can women stay safe in this environment?”

Johnstone replies curtly: “Thank you. Next question!”

“Really? So you’re not going to answer it because you know I’m right?” Anne responds. The host of the event, as well as other administrators, are then heard trying to discourage Anne from continuing to assert her question.

Anne uploaded the recordings to her Twitter account.

Johnstone’s consulting firm, Wisdom2Action, marked the anniversary of the women’s deaths by posting an infographic titled “Queering GBV,” which asserted that “gender based violence disproportionately impacts 2SLGBTQ+ people who are BIPOC, transfeminine, bisexual, youth, newcomers, disabled, homeless, and/or involved in sex work.”

For Canadian Women’s History Month in October, Johnstone was “honored” by a Government ministry for his work with “2SLGBTQI+” people.

Johnstone had previously slammed the Canadian Femicide Observatory for “retweeting TERF and TERF rhetoric.” TERF is a derogatory term most frequently applied to women who acknowledge two distinct sex groups.

He also claimed the Declaration on Women’s Sex Based Rights was a “roadmap for erasing trans people from public life, denying our rights and restricting our healthcare.”

Johnstone is not the first trans-identified male be given a platform to speak on the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women. 

Last year on December 6, the Prince Edward Island Advisory Council on the Status of Women invited Anastasia Preston, a biological male who identifies as a woman, to speak on “gender-based violence” at a vigil honoring the women murdered in the École Polytechnique massacre.

Preston, a “trans community outreach coordinator” at a sexually transmitted disease resource service, became the subject of widespread outrage on social media after he was interviewed by the Prince Edward Island branch of the CBC and claimed that trans-identified males were not given enough opportunities to speak on violence against women.

“For decades, trans women have been kept out of the conversation around gender-based violence,” Preston was quoted as saying, going on to assert that he intended to “speak about some of [his] experiences of harassment on P.E.I.” at the event memorializing the 14 women who were murdered.

After the article began to circulate, CBC P.E.I was so inundated with backlash they had to turn off their Twitter comment section. Johnstone defended Preston at the time, calling him a “hero and a champion.”

They’ll be dancing with themselves next season when same-sex teams come to Canadian figure skating

The move is meant to create opportunities for skaters who can’t find partners, but it’s sure to create an uneven playing field.

January 12, 2023

Figure skating is the most gay-friendly sport in the world. If there’s any athletic arena that doesn’t need a woke kick in the arse, this is it.

That’s if “inclusion” — as the term is now understood to mean — were the motivating factor behind Skate Canada’s decision to permit same-sex competitors in ice dance and pairs as of next season. The organization has rewritten policy, which previously specified that those disciplines must comprise a man and a woman, quite patting itself on the back for the groundbreaking shift.

But figure skating has long had a problem of gender imbalance, from the earliest of age. There aren’t enough males to go around in coupled competition, at least in North America. At rinks across Canada, little girls who want to do pairs or dance have difficulty getting proper ice time because of that scarcity. And as skaters mature, entering the elite ranks internationally, quite frankly men can have their pick of a partner, trade up. Hence, females who have put in just as many hours of training, honing all the necessary skills, sometimes find themselves jettisoned for a more medal-enticing model.

So maybe conjoining girls with girls makes some sense, particularly in ice dancing.

But indisputably, man-man pairs would create a competitive advantage, especially in the side-by-side jumping elements. Men routinely do quad jumps now while only a handful of women include four-rotation jumps in their singles routines. Because Skate Canada has no intention of expanding formats to encompass strictly same-sex teams, male-male duos would compete alongside male-female couples. I don’t see how that playing field can be levelled.

Canada is the first and thus far only country to go down this road. There’s been not a shred of evidence that the International Skating Union is in the mood for changing its rules. Consequently, at this point same-gender teams would only be able to compete domestically, up to the Canadian championships.

Scott Moir, who with Tessa Virtue won two Olympic gold medals and a silver — they’re the most decorated ice dancers in history — was among those who most passionately advocated for the rule change.

He insists there would be no competitive edge for a same-sex men’s team. “If you’re asking yourself who would win between Tessa Virtue-Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir-Scott Moir, I’m going with Tessa. I know that Tessa, if she trained lifts, she could lift. She was a fantastic flyer.”

To be clear, Moir is talking about ice dance. He doesn’t consider himself qualified to speak about pairs.

“It’s just time for us to give a bit more access to the sport of ice dance,” Moir, now a coach, told the Star on Thursday at the Canadian championships in Oshawa, where he has several teams competing in the junior ranks. “It allows us to get more athletes into the sport, most of all. But the other part is that I don’t think there’s an advantage to a man-man team or a woman-woman team. So it’s unnecessary to have those boundaries.’’

Moir anticipates that, with same-gender teams, skaters will invent new moves and different lifts, while exploring alternate storylines in programs — figure skating, performed to music, is very much about depicting a narrative, particularly in dance — though there would still be a “leader’’ and a “follower” as there is on nearly all dance expression. It’s make-believe with an athletic foundation.

“I don’t know if people know this but Tessa and I, while we love each other, we weren’t in love. We were playing characters our whole career. We convinced a lot of people. But two women, two men, can do the same thing, for crying out loud. It’s just the age that we’re in. The people that perceive it as quote-unquote gay, for me, I really care very little about what their opinion is.”

There’s a traditional view, Moir acknowledges, that the sport should stay the same way forever. But within the sport, among coaches and skaters, he’s found an open-mindedness, a willingness to adapt and innovate. And certainly, to find a competitive path for more females in the twosome events.

“There are a lot of female skaters who are sitting at home simply because we can’t find them a man. They’re all training at an elite level but they can’t get anywhere, can’t even get on competition ice. If this is all that it accomplishes, then I think it’s a success.”

Kaitlyn Weaver, a two-time Olympian with partner Andrew Poje — they’re event ambassadors in Oshawa — came out publicly as gay 18 months ago on social media. With Moir, she took a strong stand championing same-sex partnerships to Skate Canada. Weaver was sick Thursday and not at the rink, but she had explained her activism earlier this week in an interview with Lori Ewing of The Canadian Press.

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the stories we’re telling (but) I think there’s room for so much more. My queerness has a big part in why I felt especially motivated to help push this forward. We don’t see young people in our sport that are not heteronormative … and I think that that’s a problem.

“Canadians belong on the ice. If there’s a group of people that don’t feel like that, it’s our job to make sure that becomes a reality. And a visual reality. Kids can’t be what they can’t see. And if we make space for everyone, I think that our sport and our country will be much richer for it.”

The three-time senior world medallist has worked with American pairs team Anna Keller, a non-binary trans athlete, and Erica Rand. They had hoped to compete at their nationals but were prevented from doing so because U.S. rules still stipulate one man, one woman.

But will audiences accept same-sex teams? It’s a largely conservative fan base that has stayed loyal to the sport, which has otherwise plunged in popularity since the 1980s. Even Moir concedes that young girls who would benefit from skating with other young girls feel awkward about it.

“Right now, the females are shy. They’re worried about how the world of figure skating is going to look at them. That’s a big obstacle. The tough thing for me is pitching the idea, which I have many times, and it falling flat because they’re worried that they’re going to be judged and embarrassed and not taken seriously.”

The spectre of bullying and shaming is real. Moir, who is straight, likewise absorbed a lot of teasing in his younger days for being a figure skater, and an ice dancer at that.

“Not amongst my friends. My hockey player friends also stuck up for me because I played hockey against them. They knew they’d have to face me on the ice as well.

“Let’s hope we’re in a different era now.”

shane wright trade scenarios

hi everyone!!! i am wanting to cover this more potentially on the pod next week, but i did want to make a post in advance breaking some stuff down.

obviously, we all know that the kraken do not intend to send shane wright down at the moment, but i think the likelihood of him being sent down after wjc is probable. the ohl trade deadline is in mid-january and with all the movement that's happened recently, the chances of him being in the ohl again is VERY HIGH. likely though, it won't be with kingston. the fronts are likely going to tank the rest of this year if they receive the memorial cup bid to have a good team next year. with the current improvements within their conference, i say that's the most likely outcome.

so...who in the ohl is MOST likely to get shane wright?

let's start in the eastern conference, based on standings

ottawa 67s

unlikely. they are looking for continual, sustained success after last year's rebuilding year. it's also not a place he'd likely WANT to go.

2. north bay battallion

nope. they just acquired josh bloom from the saginaw spirit and are going all in this year, but they've found their guy

3. mississauga steelheads

i'd honestly love to see it. it makes sense strategically. they don't have a 100% number one centre, a game breaking star. but they're deep enough to support shane, and this is really their last year to do it all before they fall back to mediocrity. it's also close to home, so that would be a good confidence booster for shane. i think it would cost mississauga the moon and more to get him, but i think they have what it takes to get it done.

4. peterborough petes

it'd be fun to see him with otter again, but it's unlikely. while the petes don't have a true #1 centre, they do have an overager in that spot already. also petes are just rising from their rebuilding years, they won't want to spend the draft capital

5. kingston frontenacs

no he's not staying.

6. barrie colts

no, they're middling and will sell off to rebuild at the deadline.

7. hamilton bulldogs

no, they're rebuilding, just after their mem cup year

8. sudbury wolves

thought they'd be better and contending this year, but likely not until next year so...no

9. oshawa generals

no, they're also mid rebuild

10. niagara icedogs

haha nice joke

and now the west!!!

windsor spitfires

absolutely yes. it'd be out of conference, which is likely what the fronts want AND the spitfires have enough depth to make it through multiple playoff rounds. they've also lost wyatt johnston, meaning a trade for a high-end top centreman is probably in the cards for their trade deadline

2. saginaw spirit

they're doing well, but with the bloom trade, it's clear they view this year as not their year. likely, they're wanting to extend their window to the end of michael misa's tenure there, a year longer than the typical mem cup window. if shane was more than a rental? yes. but he's not

3. owen sound attack

absolutely. this is the first time the attack have been relevant in a LONG time. they must know that this year is their year to go for it, no matter what. 100% they are the most likely team that is willing to lay it all down to get wright. it's just that he would never accept a trade there

4. flint firebirds

just sold off their captain, so they likely know that they're middling and will not be contending this year.

5. sarnia sting

just got sasha pastujov but they're also middling due to their goaltending. it could happen, but i highly doubt it. they aren't true contenders this year anyways

6. london knights

one of their first rebuild years in a while, so yeah, no.

7. erie otters

on the upswing, but their true contending years will be when their young stars reach their peak

8. soo greyhounds

rebuilding, NEXT

9. kitchener rangers

huge sellers at the deadline, 100% not going to try to contend this year with their situation

10. guelph storm

underrated crasher from this year. they missed their window HARD.

anyways hopefully that was helpful!!!! if anyone has anymore questions pls send them to me, but be prepared for askbox purgatory. even if i'm trying my best to answer!

The Ultimate Guide to Finding Your Perfect Apartment in Durham

Finding the perfect apartment can be an exciting yet challenging experience, especially in a region as diverse and dynamic as Durham. Known for its vibrant communities, growing job market, and access to natural beauty, Durham offers a wide range of apartment options to suit various lifestyles and budgets. Whether you’re a student, a young professional, or a family looking for a new home, this guide will walk you through the essential steps to finding your ideal apartment in Durham.

1. Determine Your Budget

The first step in your apartment search is to determine how much you can afford to spend on rent. Experts typically recommend that your rent should not exceed 30% of your monthly income. By setting a clear budget, you can narrow down your options and focus on apartments that fit within your financial constraints.

When calculating your budget, don’t forget to account for additional expenses such as utilities, parking fees, and renter’s insurance. Understanding your budget will help you make informed decisions and avoid overextending yourself financially.

2. Choose the Right Neighborhood

Durham is home to a variety of neighborhoods, each with its own unique character and amenities. Choosing the right neighborhood is crucial to finding an apartment that meets your lifestyle needs.

Downtown Durham: If you prefer a lively urban atmosphere with easy access to restaurants, shops, and entertainment, consider renting in Downtown Durham. This area is perfect for young professionals and those who enjoy a bustling city vibe.

Durham Region North: For families or individuals seeking a quieter suburban environment, the northern neighborhoods of Durham offer spacious apartments, parks, and excellent schools. Areas like Whitby and Oshawa are popular choices for those looking for a more laid-back lifestyle.

University District: If you’re a student or work at one of Durham’s educational institutions, living near the University District may be ideal. Proximity to campus, public transportation, and student-friendly amenities make this area a convenient choice.

Lakefront Communities: For those who love the outdoors, Durham’s lakefront neighborhoods provide stunning views and access to parks, beaches, and trails. Apartments in these areas are ideal for nature enthusiasts who want to enjoy the best of both worlds—urban living with nature at their doorstep.

Researching different neighborhoods and visiting them in person can help you find the area that best aligns with your lifestyle and preferences.

3. Consider Apartment Features and Amenities

When searching for your perfect apartment, it’s important to consider the features and amenities that are most important to you. Do you need a pet-friendly building? Is in-unit laundry a must-have? Do you prefer a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances?

Some common amenities to consider include:

Parking: If you own a car, check whether the apartment offers on-site parking or if you’ll need to find alternative parking options nearby.

Fitness Facilities: Many apartment complexes in Durham offer on-site gyms, pools, or fitness centers. This can be a great perk for those who prioritize staying active.

Outdoor Spaces: Balconies, patios, and communal gardens are highly sought after, especially in areas with scenic views.

Security: Gated communities, secure entry systems, and 24-hour security can provide peace of mind, especially for those living alone.

Make a list of your non-negotiables and nice-to-have features to guide your search and ensure that you find an apartment that meets your needs.

4. Use Online Resources and Apartment Listings

The internet is a powerful tool when it comes to apartment hunting. Online platforms and real estate websites provide detailed listings of available apartments in Durham, complete with photos, floor plans, and pricing information.

Websites like Zillow, Rent.ca, and Realtor.ca are great starting points for your search. You can filter listings based on your budget, desired neighborhood, and preferred amenities. Additionally, consider setting up alerts to notify you when new apartments that match your criteria become available.

While online research is essential, don’t hesitate to reach out to local real estate agents who specialize in Durham rentals. They can provide insider knowledge, offer additional listings, and help you navigate the application process.

5. Visit Apartments and Ask Questions

Once you’ve identified a few potential apartments, schedule in-person visits to get a feel for the space and the surrounding community. During your visit, take note of the apartment’s condition, natural light, noise levels, and overall vibe.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions about the lease terms, pet policies, utility costs, and any other concerns you may have. It’s also a good idea to talk to current residents if possible to get their perspective on living in the building or complex.

6. Review the Lease Agreement Carefully

Before signing a lease, carefully review the terms and conditions. Make sure you understand the lease duration, rent payment schedule, security deposit requirements, and any penalties for breaking the lease early.

If there’s anything in the lease that you’re unsure about, don’t hesitate to ask for clarification. It’s crucial to fully understand your rights and responsibilities as a tenant to avoid any issues down the line.

7. Prepare for Move-In Day

Once you’ve found your perfect apartment and signed the lease, it’s time to prepare for move-in day. Start by organizing your belongings, setting up utility accounts, and notifying your current landlord of your move-out date.

Moving can be stressful, but careful planning and organization can make the process smoother. Consider hiring professional movers if you have a lot of furniture or heavy items to transport.

Conclusion

Finding the perfect apartment in Durham may take time and effort, but with the right approach, you can secure a home that fits your lifestyle and budget. By determining your budget, choosing the right neighborhood, prioritizing amenities, and utilizing online resources, you can streamline your search and find the ideal place to call home.

Whether you’re new to Durham or a long-time resident, this guide will help you navigate the apartment-hunting process with confidence and ease. Happy apartment hunting!
