Here are web pages that try to explain what it means to be Canadian for ordinary Candians,
not necessarily for a feminist like Kait.
(Still, this information helps to put Kait into perspective):

This amateur video shows Kait at a political rally given by Senator Cools of Toronto.
Senator Cools is a woman, is black (she was born in Barbados), is a former feminist,
but is now in favor of laws that militant Canadian feminists consider treason.
So, with other feminists, Kait invaded Senator Cools' rally and interrupted it.
First her friends were taken away by the police. Then, in this video, she was taken away
(but the video is sufficient to hear/see how she speaks and acts).
