Do you think the year 2023 was confusing? Did you have difficulty understanding some issues? Do you have the impression that the news was saying one thing and the opposite? That their lips went one way and their boots went the other?
To help you better understand this year full of sound and fury, here is a list that will help you see things more clearly.
Or not.
1) Men and women no longer exist. Everything is fluid, non-binary, blurry.
However, if a man transforms into a woman, he must be called “Madam” and allowed to participate in women’s sports competitions. And if a woman turns into a man, he must be called “Sir” and allowed to participate in men’s sports competitions.
So do genders still exist? Yes, but only for trans people.
You do not understand? Me niether.
2) Religious extremists who dug tunnels for months so they could kill children in front of their parents, massacre young people attending a music festival, kidnap infants and elderly women, shoot unarmed men as if they were rabbits, rape women and then behead them, and hiding hostages in hospitals and schools are valiant freedom fighters.
The soldiers who bomb those who committed these abuses are barbarians and war criminals.

3) At the end of October, Imam Adil Charkaoui said, during a demonstration for Palestine that brought together hundreds of people: “O God, take care of the Zionist aggressors. Take care of Gaza’s enemies. Count them one by one and in the long run kill them and exclude none.”
More than two months later, no hate speech charges have been brought against him. Even if this speech was recorded on cameras!
Meanwhile, professors and journalists lose their jobs just because they said the title of a book by Pierre Vallières.

4) Quebec Solidaire defends workers’ rights, fights unbridled capitalism and denounces evil multinationals that ignore the laws.
The same party buys advertising on Facebook, a hyper-capitalist multinational that ignores the laws and threatens the livelihood of thousands of journalists.

5) Catherine Dorion publishes a book in which she says all the bad things she thinks about the media.
And to promote his book he is making the rounds of the media.

6) François Legault states that if Quebec welcomes too many immigrants, Louisiananization threatens us.
Canada opens its doors to immigration and François Legault does nothing.

7) The Plante administration claims that the Office de consultation publique de Montréal is an essential organization for democratic life, because it allows the City to take citizens’ opinions into consideration before undertaking important projects.
Citizens tell the Public Consultation Office that they do not want the city of Montreal to close the Camillien-Houde road to motorists, but the city decides to ignore their opinion and proceed with closing the Camillien-Houde road to motorists.

8) The Wokes say there is nothing more serious than sexism and racism.
However, the Wokes want some jobs off-limits to white men.
You do not understand? Me niether.
9) Quebecers want nothing to do with sovereignty.
But Quebecers want to elect a sovereignist party.

10) The FTQ, which is on strike, believes the government should treat civil servants better instead of spending its money haphazardly.
In the midst of negotiations with the government, the president of the FTQ, accompanied by a dozen trade union colleagues, will travel to the United Arab Emirates, one of the largest oil producers on the planet, to talk about the environment – all this, thanks to the contributions paid by members of his union.

11) Being a drag queen is not a sexual orientation.
Anyone who criticizes drag queens is homophobic.
Does a child dress up as a Japanese warrior for Halloween? CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!
Does a man dress up as a woman to earn a living? VERY AWESOME!
You do not understand? Me niether.
12) Western feminists organize campaigns to denounce violence against women.
When Israeli women are attacked, raped and massacred by Hamas Islamists, Western feminists remain silent, under the pretext that “the situation is complicated”.
Feminists take the word of all women who say they are victims of assault… except Jewish women.
You do not understand? Me niether.
13) The Trudeau government says loud and clear that the defense of France is important to Canada.
The governor general, some Liberal ministers and the premier of New Brunswick – the country’s only officially bilingual province – are unable to speak French. And English-speaking federal civil servants are routinely favored by Ottawa when it comes time to award promotions.
You do not understand? Me niether.
In short, do we understand anything about the year 2023?
Don’t be ashamed: many people didn’t understand anything either.
