"The Montreal shooter’s rhetoric was typical of incel culture. He treats women as subhuman objects of desire with no agency. He hates feminism because he believes it gives women power over sex and romance, and allows them to freely choose their own partners.” An editorial by @mtltoula.bsky.social.

Treat incels as the violent extremists they are

Misogynistic incel subculture — elements of which have become disturbingly mainstream — is a serious public safety threat.

Although this is largely centered around Canada, for Americans, this ideology is one of the footholds of Project 2025–the removal of women’s opportunities for financial independence by cutting student loans for degrees, removing access to birth control & abortion, removing no-fault divorce, & more.

“For a long time,” Chan says, “misogyny was dealt with as a domestic issue within the family home or within personal relationships. There needs to be an understanding that this is a public safety threat.” @cultmtl.com cultmtl.com/2026/07/trea...

I just finished listening to CBC's Uncover "Boys Like Me" podcast specifically about the Toronto Van Attack but generally about the Incel movement. Eye opening. Just like your article. Thank you.

I have zero time for incel apologists and sane washing of this culture . being a ‘lonely misunderstood marginalised’ male is a bullshit excuse for (let’s call it by its proper name ) hate crime . By this same logic lonely marginalised women should be free to Do same ?

The insensitivity of this statement from the CAQ minister is mind-boggling. Batshaw is not a neonatal unit where the causes of death are natural. Kids are dying and this guy greets the news with a shrug. He should be gone by lunchtime. montrealgazette.com/news/provinc...

'Not news to me': Minister didn't see need to inform public of deaths of kids under Batshaw's care

NEW: Nick Adams’ Foundation for Liberty and American Greatness has brought in millions in donations and helped him land a State Department appointment, but records show there is almost no indication FLAG was spending that money on its stated mission.

Indigenous nations across Canada are taking back control of child welfare under Bill C-92. “Everyone wants kids to come home,” writes Linda Besner, but the path to making that possible is obstructed by complex legal, financial, and social challenges. https://ow.ly/Bjtz50Zu4hr

On the right: text that reads “Canada took First Nations children away. Now communities are bringing them home. The harder challenge will be building services that can help keep the families together”

With support for sovereignty not really budging, outrage is pretty much what they’ve got so they’re doubling down on it.

Patrick Déry@patrickdery.bsky.social · last wk.

The Parti Québécois is trying to revive the myth of the 1927 “judicial theft” of Labrador by a “British colonialist court.” It’s appealing, dramatic… and inaccurate. But it’s politically useful for stirring up outrage. My latest. www.quebecsplaining.ca/p/the-useful...
