'I think it’s really hard to not acknowledge this is a systemic problem in hockey culture about sexual violence and toxic masculinity and consent,' Minister of Sport Pascale St-Onge said Thursday.Sport Minister Pascale St-Onge says there's a "systemic problem" of sexual violence and toxic masculinity in Canada's hockey culture that Hockey Canada has failed to change.
"A lot of players have become men who have never taken responsibility for their actions and what happened," she said. "But it's also about the people in management and in leadership roles that have also failed all those years.
"I'm giving myself all the flexibility to decide when the federal funding will be reintroduced," she said. "We are committed to making the changes necessary to improve the culture of Canada's game, including by taking a leadership role in prioritizing safe sport in Canada," said Hockey Canada in a statement to CBC News on Thursday.
There is a systematic problem with federal government masterbation and toxic wokism that makes any issues hockey canada has look like child’s play.
Young men in large groups can be jerks for a variety of reasons…but not all of them are “toxic”. They occasionally need to be reminded that they can’t talk to or treat women the same way they treat each other.
Anglo countries' team sports culture (and dumb frat culture) is all goofballs using it as an excuse to do crime, assault. The real uncivilized savages. They deep down feel that doing those things combined with getting away with it is somehow 'fun'. Screwed up animals.
Toxic masculinity.. that phrase makes me cringe ..
Oh my gosh…..you mean all Hockey mothers should get involved with monitoring their sons? Oh wait….hockey Moms and Dads are the most dedicated parents I have ever known! Question to Ms. St-Onge…..can you please show the numbers across ALL sports!
We need to fix this problem from the inside. New people in control setting the agenda.
Oh ffs toxic masculinity CBC and Canada need a change of leadership TrudeauMustGoNow DefundCBC
The term ‘toxic masculinity’ is offensive to men. It projects poor, or even illegal behaviour on all men. If a few men on these teams committed crimes, they should be dealt with. But don’t implicate ‘masculinity’ as the culprit.
MahsaAmini
This moralist pretend to fix the world problems with their proposals, they are worst than any religion ever existed
They can't fix it it is ingrained in hockey culture.
Perhaps if men start identifying as women we can eradicate ' toxic masculinity'
The only problem ans toxicity is the federal government
Ultra progressive liberalism is huge problem in today's Canada. Those chronic activists are after change all society based on their so called progressive ideology. Their main target/ enemy is straight man...
There isn't and you will lose this absurd war on culture, CBC
The real problem in Canada is a Toxic Government and our elected leaders have failed us. Miserably.
Wrong
Why is “Sports Minister” even a title?
CBC said so? Liberals said so? Wow, hockey is now the next truckers convoy?
the dikes playing hockey are really masculine.
I almost fell over.. wow cbc finally real news. This kind of behaviour needs to end everywhere.
Oh brother what a crock
Hockey is exciting because the players have testosterone….
Federal investigation of child beating throughout sports industry. Start with the goon Francesco Aquilini.
Sexual violence? My God this is hyperbolic language. Please Defund cbc. DefundTheCBC
🤡
Shut up already
The only thing toxic is this government TrudeauMustGoToJail
Sport Canada has a 'systemic problem' with allowing males to compete in female sport.
So very true! Time to have it recognized and dealt with!
Liberals hate hockey and all things Canadian
How can there be so many rectums in one political party
Liberalism is a systemic problem. JT’s got a Checkered past she should look into.
Fire the Board & Directors at Hockey Canada HockeyCanada would have been a start!! FIRE THEM!
Ur mom makes farts
Thanks Pascale can't wait to see how you fix this.
Laura Robinson wrote a book about this subject in 1998…24 years later we’re paying attention? The title is Crossing the Line.
You have to live how we want you to live or we'll call you names and try to mobilize people to destroy your life How does this qualify as news ?
When you’re not good enough to make the nhl so instead you seek to ruin the league altogether.
Piss off already
Another net zero liberal !
🙄
How does society change human behaviour?
Men aren't allowed to be men anymore. It's tOXiC.
Hockey will be much better when it's played by black lesbians sponsored by Unicorn Milk.
Maybe an issue in CA but maybe not-however, in the US the Epstein Island political issue has been hushed up and similar issues involving CAn politicians have been hushed up-money buys silence but these young players don’t have that money, maybe clean up the political issues first
Silo X over - Military - Law Enforcement - Justice - Sport -Religion - Truth and Reconciliation - Low Military recruitment announced - migrating to Convoy - militias - private contracts growth - 'Harry in your pocket!'
Removing masculinity from sports experiment has already been done, it's called the WNBA
Toxic masculinity is the woke agenda’s attempt to neutralize our strong, alpha males. Take pride in the strength of our males and how awesome it is to watch the sports they excell at. 💪🏻🇨🇦🇺🇸
Amazing how popular 'systemic' has become. Thrown around with absolutely not evidence in support.
After screwing up everything else the government wants to manage hockey
so trying to change men thanks
I feel like ‘systematic problem’ now equates to ‘human nature’.
Let's be honest. If you are a teenage girl who willingly finds herself in a hotel room with several teenage boys and you decide to start drinking...you have to take some responsibility for your actions. Some girls want to be with celebrities. Some things never change.
Hockey Canada should not get involved leave it to the police.
Meanwhile, there's a 'systemic problem' of gang violence and toxic masculinity in Canada's black culture that the black community has failed to change.
Then the Rcmp hires these boys
First they destroyed the military and now they are attempting to destroy Hockey Canada, they need to be stopped.
Really Now that a minister says it i know 🙄
'Systemic problem?' The only systemic problem is a federal gov't led by progressives who hate so much. I bet you can't even define or identify this It's time to start having a conversation about toxic femininity but men won't lead this, it's up to women to start this discussion.
It took this long to speak out on this
Too funny. It’s not the sport that is the issue.. teenage boys should not mix alcohol and puck bunnies. See every other sport. They just haven’t been brought to light
It has always been this way. Parents need to raise their kids especially boys, to be more respectful. No board changes are going to eliminate that without parents instilling a culture of respect from the get go. This requires a generational shift. I'm optimistic it will happen
Easy…then don’t watch it!!
Yea, put a middle aged white woman in charge to get to the bottom of it. Haha
I don't think men play against women in hockey , there is a problem with violence , but men and women don't play hockey against each other
Canadians are hung up on their ' sperm count ' they think freedom is jerking off any where they want to.
Are there any ' fights in women hockey ?
Birds, and the Bees , flower and the trees ; mating ritual of the , Homo sapien .
Failed to change? More like refused to change.
Why didn't anyone notice this before? Last I checked it wasn't a problem. Maybe some women are hateful towards men, now that they are in positions of power they are acting on that hate? The left wants everyone to have a prize, but life is filled with losers and a few winners.
Now the wokes are going after junior hockey.. is nothing sacred anymore?
Young Men know what is right and wrong. The individuals need to be dealt with criminally. The value these men bring to organizations and the country is the problem.
Another organization that fills their pockets with money
No, just as there is no systemic racism in Canada. Boys just wanna have sex. And non-lesbian girls get gaga over cute boys who play hockey or music. What we should be teaching is that sex is not a good idea after drinking as people can do things they later regret when drunk.
No kidding, and it only took all this time to come to a conclusion reached by every other Cdn within days of the story coming to light. Fire anyone yet?
Hockey Canada, or anyone else for that matter, isnt going to change how teenage boys think or act.
Speaking of “toxic masculinity”, do you know how many Canadian soldiers came back from WW1 with VD?!
Hockey is a segregated sport. There’s only boys or men in those dressing rooms.
So what?
I don’t understand how or why the board has not been completely replaced and restructured. Putting in one new face to fix everything is exactly what it looks like, a pass the puck until folks forget. They paid the to cover up sexual assault and thought it was okay.
.. systematic taxation
The Lieberals keep rolling
YOUR SPORTS Minister?
Hockey is dying out. Too expensive and enrolment continues to drop. Hockey has always been exclusionary by nature. If the sport died entirely it would be no great loss.
PLEASE Liberals, make the error and try to cancel hockey for Canadians - the defunding of the CBC needs to be hastened.
Ah they dusted off the Toxic Masculinity again. Enough time has passed since the Gillette ad I guess.
Frig outta here Pascale🙄
Honestly, the minister talks about systemic change but the mentality is beaten into kids with every practice and game by their parents, coaches and TV. It can change but it won't be fast. Every kid wants to be the next NHL star and nobody cares as long as they can handle a puck.
Come to newfoundland… our police force is the same. The not so royal Newfoundland constabulary… same systemic problem of sexual violence and toxic masculinity!RNC_PoliceNL JenEWright nl_sirt
What are they doing about the Kokanee groper VikramVedha HurricaneIan TrudeauMustGo
Toxic masculinity? But no toxic feminism?
Why are children running this country
‘Toxic’ masculinity.Jesus Christ
If Hockey Canada failed to exist tomorrow how would Hockey change in this country
Agreed, sadly.
Liberals trying to make masculinity a bad thing now too.
The Libs will lose the next election because of sexist, woke language like 'toxic masculinity.' It's misandry (currently rampant on the left) disguised as compassion.
It's due to climate change
Our schools have a history of teachers committing sexual assult/ interference, and most recently exposing kids to a perverted fetishes. It goes far beyond 15 cases, so when are they going to lose funding?
Fountain of man is quite defensive lol
You're toxic and so is she for making broad-brush statements like that. You should be ashamed of yourselves as should she.
Pfft 🙄. It’s all a meaningless distraction.
Sadly she represents us…luckily not for long…Canada will be united again
