This just made my blood boil. This is what comes of enabling these haters to think this is any of their business.

I get why they did what they could to de-escalate the situation, and am glad to see the RCMP are investigating. But it is still unbelievable that he was able to stop the event, and the effect on that child sounded terrible.

Remember when people were freaking out when the government was working to include gender identity and expression in the Charter? This should make it clear why it belongs there.

Central Okanagan School District superintendent Kevin Kaardal confirmed with Castanet that steps are being taken to ban the man from all school-related events.

"Staff intervened and actually moved the shot-put away from where he was. The gentleman was not a part of our school district. We are taking steps to ensure he is not able to be on our school property or attend events in the future."

Kaardal said the incident was "totally unacceptable."

"Adults need to govern themselves and behave appropriately," he added.

Kari Starr, the girl's other mother, says Thursday's events have rocked their daughter's confidence.

"This has destroyed our beautiful daughter's confidence, and she was inconsolably crying during this whole event and continued once it was over and we were leaving. Not to mention, she was unable to concentrate on her track and field finals and the shot-put throw for which she had qualified," Kari said.

This asshole of a subhuman needs to be vilified by all in his community.

Here is a US media take on the disgusting event.

Some people on both the right and left criticize stressing these kind of serious issues for really just "engaging in identity politics." Unfortunately they are downplaying and even negating very important issues.

It has gotten to the level of harrassment at Regina School Board.

I don't know how many are Peoples Party of Canada, but they are the main ones running these protests in Saskatoon - against city washroom policy (and they were way outnumbered when they came to council) and the children's museum.

But letting a single person go after a child and stop the show without him getting hauled off the grounds. I wasn't there, but it seems like an incredible degree of accommodation.

Crazy Republicans from the US obviously have a lot of adherents in Canada.

Someone should have punched him in the face.
