DAVID MENZIES | Petitioning the United Nations; Radicalized trans parade in Montreal: Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies, and gentlemen — and the rest of you — in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favourite Rebels. I’m your host, David Menzies. Our chief reporter, Sheila Gunn Reid and our uber legal eagle, Sarah Miller, recently went all the way to Geneva’s Palace of Nations to deliver our petition decrying the human rights abuses taking place in Justin Trudeau’s Canada these days. The question is: will the human rights head honchos take this petition seriously — or will they bury it? Sheila Gunn Reid has all the nitty-gritty details. And last week in Montreal, the circus — er, I mean, the radicalized transgender parade came to town. And guess what? The various spirit unicorns have absolutely no problem with children changing their gender.
