Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No more ladies & gentlemen on board! Air Canada courts woke police with gender-neutral welcome that is... EVERYONE? Addressing passengers as ‘ladies and gentlemen’ is discriminatory against those who don’t identify as either, so let’s just call them ‘everybody,’ Air Canada has decided. So no more gentlefolk on board. Employees of the top Canadian airline were instructed to drop the long-time tradition of calling their passengers “ladies and gentlemen” (or “mesdames et messieurs” when speaking French). Instead, passengers will be addressed as “everybody” and “tout le monde,” local media reported. The reason, of course, is that some people have more complex attitudes to their gender than the majority of humanity, and presumably feel excluded when they hear the greeting “ladies and gentlemen.” After all, Air Canada was named the nation’s Best Diversity Employers for 2019 and it has to fulfill its reputation as such. “We work hard to make sure all employees feel like valued members of the Air Canada family, while ensuring our customers are comfortable and respected when they choose to travel with us,” the company said in a statement.

Air Canada courts woke police with gender-neutral welcome that is... EVERYONE? Oh they did this on the NY MTA announcement system. I think I first heard it happen in the train system in Europe. It's happening everywhere.
Seems our future will have no genders.
You gotta wonder if they are in fact preparing for disclosures of entities.
They are genderless u know |
