Conservatives in Canada are following the American republican playbook to the letter. This should make you angry.

It drives me nuts. These people long to live in a shithole, but instead of moving to an established shithole they'd rather make a new one.
It's like I've always said - these people are diarrhea and Canada is a pool. A little bit is manageable, but it doesn't take much to get to the point of no return. You can't just scoop the diarrhea out of the water.
Pool poopers always embolden others. Look the water is already brown, I didn't do it, speaking of colors we need to get back to our "rich traditions" and pretend we all came from northern Europe and restrict immigration and btw, our kids need more guns and prescription drugs aren't accessible enough and why do we have all these social programs draining national productivity...
Zero tolerance for these fuckers, they will not stop once they get a platform and will destroy your society, economy and democracy.

Angry and embarrassed that I was born in that armpit of a province (I got better)
Let's be absolutely clear about something; vulnerable children will die because of this.
Anyone who supports this will have blood on their hands, plain and simple.
Is there data that shows lower suicide rate when transgender support (?) is provided?
*Not sure if support is the right word, but just generally curious if there's data around this sort of thing
Yes, support and gender affirming care does reduce the rate of suicide.
It's the same any time you treat a person like a person and with respect. Every time a marginalised group gets accepted and understood, more of them survive. The less people saying they are evil or not deserving of care, the more survive. The less we restrict things thay will help them, more survive. This has been proven time and again.

They don't care. Quite the opposite, really: in their mind, that's one less deviant. Win-win.
The whole point of anti-trans hysteria, which will become ant-gay hysteria and, eventually anti-whatever-the-ingroup-is hysteria, is to other people and make them less than human, so that their deaths are immaterial, if not encouraged.
Ever wonder how Germany got to the point where it was acceptable to make Jewish people into soap? This is how it starts.
Good on Danielle, for really stepping up her game.
Previously she was letting people die from lack of healthcare and support, but she's finally stepped up to the plate and announced that she's willing to commit murder.
Sorry, but her name isn't actually Danielle and I didn't see a parental consent slip. Please call her by her actual name, Marlaina Smith, so no one gets in trouble
Holy shit! Not knowing whether you were joking or not, I did a basic wikipedia search. Unless someone has vandalized her page, you're right.
So who is she to talk? Why aren't interviewers pressing her on this?
Don't give her too much credit. She's copying this policy directly from New Brunswick.
Hey, donβt forget about Saskatchewan!
Oh great, just what we need in Canada: Republican culture wars
Weβve got the people who eat that shit up, I remember the convoy days I was surprised by some of the people who supported it.
I referred to them as the Honkies of Canada.
I always liked "Timbit Taliban", myself.
Hmm, I donβt think I will.
That's fine with me, SatansMaggotyCumFart. With a username like that, you should definitely do you.
My apologies that your sense of humour is different then mine, Iβll work on myself.
I didn't think I said that, and certainly did not intend to give the impression that you were deficient vis-a-vis funnybones. I sincerely meant that a statement as bold as adopting a username as that definitively entitles you to, proudly, do you.
The only thing I need to do me is enough beer so I can find myself attractive.
Someone needs to invent dealcoholized beer goggles...
Did you know if you drink two non-alcoholic beers a minute for an hour you can get good and shittered?
Fuck anyone who supports this bullshit.
