Canadian School Shooter Reportedly Identified As Transgender

Canadian School Shooter Reportedly Identified As Transgender

Canadian School Shooter Reportedly Identified As Transgender Ten people including the shooter are dead after ⁠an ⁠assailant opened fire at a high school in western ⁠Canada in the town of Tumbler Ridge on Tuesday in one of the country's deadliest mass casualty events in recent history. Initial reports by local police and the Canadian media described the shooter as female.However, the authorities reluctance to release the identity of the suspect was an immediate red flag. Their reports only indicated that the shooter was a female in a dress. Independent journalists now say they have the identity of the alleged shooter, corroborated by family members: Jesse Strang, a 17-year-old biological male who started identifying as a "woman" in 2023, is reportedly the culprit behind the school massacre which left 10 dead and 25 wounded. In an exclusive interview with "Juno News" Jesse Strang's uncle, Russel G. Strang, confirms that Jesse was the shooter and that he identified as transgender. Strang's social media and YouTube accounts contain transgender symbolism as well as the online name "JessJessUwU" (a meme phrase that people may recognize from the bullet casings tied to the gay suspect charged in the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Tyler Robinson). 🇨🇦 A transgender teenager has killed 10 and injured 25 in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, Canada.Jesse Strang, 17, began to identify as a woman in 2023.Six victims were found dead inside Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and another died on the way to the hospital. Two more... pic.twitter.com/w4fM4fVRDk— Europa.com (@europa) February 11, 2026Locals in Tumbler Ridge also confirmed the shooter's identity as Jesse Strang, as reported by the Western Standard, though his transgender status is not mentioned. Before heading to the school, Strang allegedly murdered his mother and younger brother, both of whom were well known in the community. The fact that Canadian authorities incorrectly asserted that the shooter was "female" led to initial confusion, but this action is essentially required according to Canada's strict "hate speech" laws protecting trans identity. In other words, Canadian police are often compelled to lie about the gender of suspects when they are trans. The tragedy represent yet more evidence that transgenderism is a dangerous mental health crisis. Multiple mass shootings (including school shootings) have been perpetrated by transgender suspects in recent years, and suspected Charlie Kirk shooter, Tyler Robinson, was living with his transgender boyfriend at the time of the shooting. In almost every instance, the transgender status of the shooter has been covered up or dismissed by authorities and the establishment media. In Canada, trans activists receive substantial legal privileges and protections making any discourse on the dangers of trans ideology impossible. Tyler DurdenWed, 02/11/2026 - 09:40

US To Fund Free Speech Initiatives In Europe, Trump Official Reveals

US To Fund Free Speech Initiatives In Europe, Trump Official Reveals

US To Fund Free Speech Initiatives In Europe, Trump Official Reveals Authored by Kimberley Hayek via The Epoch Times,The Trump administration announced plans to direct funding toward promoting free speech in Western allied democracies, a senior State Department official said on Monday. The initiative bolsters efforts to counter European online regulations categorized by Washington as censorship.Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy Sarah Rogers discussed the initiative during a trip to Europe. It includes grants to support free expression, a result of concerns about rules such as the European Union’s Digital Services Act and Britain’s Online Safety Act.These laws, which E.U. officials say aim to deter hate speech and misinformation, have been scrutinized by U.S. officials as restricting the free speech of American tech firms and suppressing immigration policy critiques.“One way my office is going to operate differently is we’re going to be very forthright and transparent about everything we do,” Rogers said during a panel discussion in Budapest on Monday. She added that her role allows directing U.S. funding through grants, stating, “I want to promote free speech in Western allied democracies, and ... that’s what my grantmaking is going to be doing.”Rogers, appearing alongside a top aide to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, underscored the importance of free speech for democracy.“The United States government, via me, but not only me, has been engaging aggressively on the issue of free speech, because you don’t have self-governance without freedom of speech, you can’t have a democratic deliberation if viewpoints are proscribed from the public square,” she said.Rogers is scheduled to stop in Dublin, Budapest, Warsaw, and Munich to discuss digital freedoms with officials and others.The administration’s December National Security Strategy said that European leaders were censoring speech and suppressing opposition to immigration policies, warning of the continent’s “civilizational erasure.”Rogers said European polls showing European views on migration are similar to those in the United States.The United States imposed last month visa bans on a former European Union commissioner and four anti-disinformation activists. The administration labeled them agents of censorship for working to regulate U.S. social media platforms. European leaders lambasted the bans. They defended the commissioner and activists’ rights to push for regulations on foreign companies operating locally.U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed the designations on Dec. 23, 2025. He called the individuals “agents of the global censorship-industrial complex” and blocked their entry to the United States.‘Anti-Racism’ StrategyThe European Commission unveiled a new “anti-racism” strategy on Jan. 20, aiming toward a “Europe free from racism” with increased anti-discrimination enforcement and training.The Commission said the training will help civil servants “recognise and tackle racial bias, while fostering greater cultural awareness and sensitivity.” It also requires European educators to “address teacher training and professional development on diversity and inclusion, as well as promoting diversity in the teaching profession itself.”Eric Kaufmann, a professor at the University of Buckingham, said the strategy “betrays an illiberal moralizing worldview” that could lead to “suppressing free speech and asphyxiating the historical pride and culture of Europe’s ethnic majorities.”Jacob Reynolds of think tank MCC Brussels called it a “slide to cultural socialist ideas.”Reynolds previously told The Epoch Times that he believes that the policy “has got nothing to do with racism” and is “a classic example of how the EU proceeds to amass for itself more powers to regulate orderly life and get involved in politics.”“This is not [anti-racism], as ordinary people understand it,” he said. “This is the kind of woke [diversity, equity, and inclusion] agenda that has come to dominate the way that lots of civil servants, lots of academics, lots of civil society organizations think.”“E.U. in this strategy is clearly not concerned about the things that ordinary people would understand as racism, discrimination against people on the basis of the [color] of their skin, but is actually about regulating thought,” he told The Epoch Times.The initiative increases funding for the Citizens, Equality, Rights, and Values program, with a proposal for 3.6 billion euros ($4.2 billion) for 2028–2034 to aid civil society projects.
