Most people know that Canada PM Justin Trudeau is as progressive and PC as he can possibly be, but he outdid himself recently:

RETWEET: Last week Justin Trudeau lectured a woman at a townhall for using the word “mankind” instead of his preferred term “peoplekind” ???
Retweet if you think @JustinTrudeau should have just answered the question instead of giving a condescending lecture #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/vxo4k3J1bS

Here’s a longer clip. “We can all learn from each other,” as the audience laughed at Trudeau’s enlightenment:
In the PC rating system, that’s off the charts.
In which Justin Trudeau interrupts a girl to correct her for saying "mankind" instead of the more inclusive "peoplekind." Beyond parody. https://t.co/n1I7J2wkkL

If Trudeau would have had more time, he’d have also reminded everybody to replace “illegal immigration” with “irregular migration.”

Has peoplekind replaced humankind? It’s impossible to keep up with the stupidity.

Woman asks a question with a reference to "mankind", Trudeau butts in with "did you mean to say peoplekind?"
Literally beyond parody. https://t.co/HKR8Tpyd2U

We’ve seen a lot of “beyond parody” lately.
