    Trudeau interrupted her and said: 'We like to say peoplekind, not necessarily mankind 'cause it's more inclusive.'

    Justin Trudeau, the Canadian Prime Minister, interrupted a lady who said
    the future of mankind
    to helpfully point out that peoplekind would be a better choice of words.

    Is Justin going to be the non-binary huperson who rids us at last of that dastardly word ''Human'' ?

    This stuff only matters if you let it.

    Ignore it and it won't gain any traction, make a big thing of it and then you're making it a big thing.

    He's a bloody eejit of the highest order

    What's more tho is I'd wager be comes out with this sort of guff thinking its going to make him look good. He's worse than Varadkar for being more concerned with his public image than doing his actual job

    It's fringe stuff, same people that bemoan the use of the word blackboard or say the song should be Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep. Although "cheap lousy f*ggot" got canned didn't it?

    He's the leader of a huge country publicly 'correcting' someone's use of language. At what point does it become a big thing?

    Yeah, I'm taking bets on the legislation timeline. A year or so ago I might have guessed that in 5 to 10 years laws will be passed prohibiting the use of 'patriarchal expressions'...but as of lately, I'm guessing it will be more like 1 to 2 years.. tops.

    I doubt he's Churchill material now is he.

    If Canada ever got embroiled in a direct war I think I'd be joining the other side:D. If you can't beat them and all that...

    If everyone goes on as before and lets him be the only member of peoplekind to whom this matters, then it won't matter to humankind.

    I suspect this may be the event horizon for the speech police, and I hope so.

    Hate speech is one thing, but this nonsense isn't anything anyone should dignify by catering to it.

    Did you notice the rapturous cheers and delight from the crowd when he said it? This is not a niche viewpoint.
