Of all the things going on in the world, in Saskatchewan, from rent, to food costs, to healthcare, to climate change, to wild fires, forcing vulnerable gender diverse children into a closet they can only come out of with their parents permission is the top priority. So important it required an emergency recall, debate and the use of the notwithstanding clause to override the charter rights of these vulnerable children.
To me, this is a national embarrassment and yet another example of what to expect when conservatives govern.

Seriously, this is indefensible. Children are going to die by suicide as a direct result of this blatant disregard for children's human rights.
The Notwithstanding Clause is a public admission of guilt. It's not "just for funsies".
These fuckers would love it if child abuse and forcing children to work was still legal. Exploitation of children was parents rights.
It's their right to force their child to work to help pay rent in these troubling times. I mean, it's what kids are for right? Why else would they have had them.
