‘Canadian Government’s Tampon Inclusivity’

The Canadian government is populated with perverted lunatics.

In the name of ‘inclusion’, we must now all pretend that mental illness is normal:

Not only women or those who identify as women menstruate. ‘Trans’ men, ‘gender non-conforming’ and ‘two-spirit’ folks menstruate as well, and everyone who menstruates deserves to menstruate with dignity.”

“Beginning Friday, all federally-regulated employers – including federal public service departments, crown corporations, banks, airports and train yards – must provide free menstrual products in all employee washrooms {Including Men’s washrooms!}.

The change to the Canada Labour Code announced in May 2023 stipulated that as of Dec. 15, these workplace washrooms must have free tampons and menstrual pads, as well as a covered disposal container in every toilet stall.

“The products are intended for employee use, not for members of the public.

“Rachel Ettinger started a petition calling for this in 2020 that was eventually presented in the House of Commons by her MP.

“Ettinger is the founder of ‘Here For Her’, a social enterprise focused on health education across Canada. Along with other organizations, it provided the government with recommendations for this move.

“Another group was Ottawa-based non-profit ‘Period Packs’.

“One of the recommendations that’s now a requirement is for menstrual product dispensers and disposal containers to be installed in all washrooms.

Not only women or those who ‘identify’ as women menstruate{???},

said Ettinger.

‘Trans’ men, ‘gender non-conforming’ and ‘two-spirit’ folks menstruate as well {?}, and everyone who menstruates deserves to menstruate with dignity.”

{How can anyone take this person seriously, much less base government policy on their lunacy?}

While some critics have taken to social media to decry the push for menstrual products in men’s washrooms, Meghan White points out that limiting the products to women’s washrooms would ‘force’ all menstruating people to go into a women’s washroom.

{That’s why it’s called a ‘women’s washroom’!}

We can’t ask people to ‘self-identify’ in the workplace“,

{You shouldn’t have the mentally ill working in government positions!}

said White.

Why not accommodate everyone if you can? Why not set the highest{lowest} standard as a federally regulated agency?

“Proponents point out a basket with a few individually-wrapped tampons and pads somewhere in the washroom is enough and that disposal containers in each stall will also accept incontinence protection pads.

“Even though the change to the labour code was announced seven months ago, it seems many affected employers have yet to install dispensers and disposal containers{Good! They should take this to court…}, according to the marketing director of the Canadian division of ‘Citron Hygiene’.

“Krista Plewes said while most federal ministries and Crown corporations will likely have had the word passed down to them from above, she’s less confident that’s the case for federally-regulated institutions such as banks and airports.

“By far the company’s most popular menstrual product dispensers are the ‘Aunt Flow’ line of machines which were created in the United States.

{Does this company donate to the ‘Liberal’ Party of Canada?}

“Plewes said her company, which is the exclusive Canadian distributor of ‘Aunt Flow’ dispensers, is ready to meet the surge in demand as more facility managers become aware of the new requirement, but that may not be the case across the board in the hygiene industry.

‘This is an inclusivity issue’

“Employment and Social Development Canada has posted a guide to the changes on its website. In response to a request for comment from CBC, the ministry sent an email stating that employees should report any situations they believe to be in contravention of the labour code to their employer using the internal complaint resolution process on the department’s website.

The department also wrote that funding to purchase menstrual products and disposal containers is the sole responsibility of each employer.

“Public Services and Procurement Canada, which accounts for approximately a quarter of the federal government’s inventory of buildings and offices and oversees more than 8,600 washrooms nationwide, wrote in an email to CBC that it is providing support to federal employers and is working diligently to implement this initiative.

“While the launch may not go smoothly, it’s important not to lose sight of the bigger picture, said ‘Here For Her’s Ettinger.

I’m really hoping that as an activist {!}, this will kind of be a domino effect for other public sector businesses, schools, and then of course for the private sector to jump on and realize that this is an inclusivity issue.”

{No, it’s a mental health issue…}

“Federal Labour Minister Seamus O’Regan will take part in an announcement at 1 p.m. ET Friday to mark the changes at Toronto’s Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.”

Costly ‘woke’ craziness: Ottawa will force federally-regulated businesses to provide menstrual products in men’s toilet rooms, to the cost of $116M over the next decade.”

Government Lunacy in Canada (‘Pronoun’ Enforcement) {June 27, 2017}:

“Forced speech is the most extreme infringement of free speech. It puts words in the mouths of citizens and threatens to punish them if they do not comply. When speech is merely restricted, you can at least keep your thoughts to yourself. Compelled speech makes people say things with which they disagree.”
