In a widely circulated CBC interview, RCMP Staff Sergeant Camille Habel, a spokesperson trained in communications, warned Canadians that if someone who previously supported “equal gender rights” begins leaning toward “traditional values,” this might be a sign of radicalization.

This wasn’t an offhand remark from a beat cop. This was a spokesperson delivering the institutional view. Communications officers don't freelance opinion; they embody the message of the organization they represent.

What makes Habel’s statement more troubling than its surface absurdity is what lies beneath. She doesn’t define “gender rights,” and she doesn’t define “traditional values.” But context fills in the blanks. It's unlikely she meant the right of women to vote or equal pay—those rights are firmly embedded in Canadian life and broadly accepted, even by traditionalists.

More likely, she refers to the newer ideological fringe: the belief that biological sex is fluid, and that gender is self-declared. Under this regime, a man becomes a woman by mere utterance—by incantation. This idea is no passing Trudeau-endorsed fad. Sgt. Habel, speaking on behalf of the RCMP, affirms it.

With that affirmation, the belief becomes institutional orthodoxy, and questioning it becomes political heresy.
