This might be a line that some Americans, who are currently OK with other genocides going on, don’t want crossed.
The websites probably include the word “gay” or “homosexual” or some other offensive word.
Presumably the drive to purge government websites of wokeness is being semi-automated and driven by a simple word search…and humans are failing to examine the results before they pull the trigger
Never attribute to malice that which can reasonably attributed to stupidity, laziness, etc.

Apparently being anti-rape is now woke.
An annual U.S. State Department report detailing human rights around the world will remove all sections covering the rights of women, LGBTQ+ people, and the disabled as well as sections dedicated to discrimination against indigenous people and corruption in government, Politico reports. The censored report has likely been drafted in response to the president’s executive orders banning all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts in the federal government.
Similarly, the women’s section used to include sub-categories on forced intercourse, battery, reproductive rights, female genital mutilation, and discrimination. Instead, the new report is expected only to have a section devoted to “coercion in population control,” though its exact content remains unclear.

Two excerpts from stories today showing how US allies are pivoting away from the USA.
”China’s ambassador says his country is open to negotiating a free-trade agreement with Ottawa and co-operating on a research station in the Arctic – extending an invitation to repair strained ties as Canada’s relations with the United States worsen.”
”The European Union and Canada are forging defence links aimed at reducing their dependence on American weapons as the transatlantic security and trade alliance withers in the era of U.S. President Donald Trump.”
Be cautious here. I imagine China would be delighted to fight a proxy war with the USA on Canadian soil.
It will start with trade, then a few naval ports(BC & maritime prov?), then a few air bases. Sorta like the US and its bases in SE Asia in 1950 and 1960s. And then “Good Morning, Viet Nam!”
I haven’t found a non-paywalled version of this (and since I’m not a subscriber, I can’t quote it)…but I’m streaming Bloomberg TV and they’re talking about this:

“Hold anyone that looks Canadian.”
Yeah, that will cure the problem that does not exist.
China at least hasn’t publicly promoted our annexation!
I expect free trade with China will be more of a bargaining chip for Canada in its US trade negotiations as there is a negative impact on US.
American military products losing their lustre.
