Before 2014, the phrase “stay woke” was not widely recognized outside the US and more specifically the Black community inside the US. For them, it was a fundamental concept of being vigilant against deception as a means of survival. This changed in 2014 with the tragic police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. “Stay woke” became a crucial slogan for Black Lives Matter activists, a stark reminder to be alert to police brutality and unfair policing practices.
Over the six years following Brown’s death, the meaning of “woke” broadened significantly. It started representing a concise way of referring to leftist political views, particularly those focusing on social justice and critical race theory. Once the theory got obsessed with identities and gender, it metamorphosed into an uncontrollable chain reaction. That was when it entered Canada and since then it has taken more disturbing shapes than ever before. Now, both political sides use “woke” but in very different ways. The left uses it to symbolize political progressiveness, while the right often employs it as a critique of leftist ideology.
Justin Trudeau really embraced the Wokeness movement with full force. Just think about what he said during the height of the pandemic. He pointed out on Twitter how the economic crisis was hitting women harder, calling it not a recession but a ‘she-cession’. And remember that town-hall meeting in 2018? He cut off a woman speaking, telling her off for saying ‘mankind’ because he thought it was outdated and sexist. Instead calling it Peoplekind.
Then there was his trip to India in 2018. Trudeau went all out, dressing up in fancy Bollywood-style outfits with his family. But it was a bit much, especially since the Bollywood stars they met were just in simple black suits. And let’s not even get into his past efforts to connect with the black community.

Justin has taken his dad’s progressive ideas and pushed them way further into “woke” territory. It’s like a strange, almost dystopian shift that might be a sign of where other Western countries are headed, like the UK is already.
While his dad worked on things like changing divorce laws, making homosexuality legal, and allowing abortion, Justin is bringing gender topics into schools really early, loosening up laws on some serious drugs and police work, and starting to put tight controls on free speech, including protests. And now, the government is even making it easier for people to get assisted suicide for pretty weak medical or mental health reasons.
Canada’s not really seen as a big player on the world stage these days, and sometimes it’s even made fun of.
A father was charged for speaking out against a court-ordered publication ban against his female-born child to undergo hormone treatment to transition into a transgendered male. His maximum penalty was five years in jail.
In British Columbia, the westernmost province of Canada, it’s now completely legal to have up to 2.5 grams of heavy drugs such as heroin, cocaine, and fentanyl. It looks like other provinces might do the same soon. In a lot of Canadian cities, you’re more likely to get a ticket for drinking in public than for using hard drugs. In downtown Vancouver, it’s common to see drug users wandering around like they’re in a daze, or sometimes just stuck in one spot, frozen because of the effects of fentanyl. Hastings Street is right at the heart of all the drug problems and homelessness in Vancouver. It’s as bad as the worst parts of many cities in the United States.

But all of these incidents dwarf in comparison to the devastating effects of wokeness on Canadian women.
Take what Piers Morgan, the TV guy from the U.K., said. He made fun of Canada because a female powerlifter got in trouble for saying it’s not fair that someone who used to compete as a guy is now breaking records in women’s events.
Then there’s the story that went viral about a teacher in Halton who wore huge fake breasts to class. It was pretty out there, and no one seemed to think about what kind of effect this could have on the kids they’re teaching.
More recently, we heard about a 50-year-old who identifies as a teen girl competing in swimming against much younger girls in Barrie, Ontario. It seems like nobody thought about how the young girls might feel sharing a changing room with them. In today’s world, it seems like no one had the guts or sense to step in.
The people running the swim event said they’ve got rules to make sure everyone can swim in a safe and welcoming place. They said swimming should be for all sorts of people, no matter their gender or background.
But this is different from what World Aquatics is doing. They started a new category this year for trans swimmers to compete against each other, but nobody signed up for it. If the international swimming authorities say trans swimmers shouldn’t be in young girls’ events, then a local Ontario community center should be able to figure that out too.
If they don’t, we might see young girls stepping away from competitive sports because no one stood up to say that it’s not right for a 50-year-old to compete with them.
So this makes us question Trudeau – does he secretly despise women because the evolution of ‘wokeness’ in Canada has led to devastating effects on women and female athletes. The phenomenon significantly influences sports and education, with complex implications. Critical issues include the fair competition in sports, the safety of women and young girls, and concerns about sexual predators misusing identity policies for harmful purposes. And the fellow never gave free tampons to women but is giving them out freely to men. Wonder where all this ends.
