Please show this video to anyone who moans about the “tanker ban”. It’s probably the best, simplest explanation I’ve seen from anyone. #cdnpoli
The only MP in Canada who voted to prevent an #election for the Liberal government.
Next… education on #Canadian #tankerban on the West Coast and the reasons for this ban. This is especially for the “Andrew Scheers” of the world.

The UCP, and their supporters, are claiming that S33 needed to be used to prevent sterilization of children. But no evidence is provided about the amount of surgery occurring below 18 (puberty blockers are not the same thing as surgery). Is it 0, 5, 50, 500, 5000?

The narrative that we are being sold that our children's safety is somehow threatened by trans people participating in all aspects of public life as their authentic selves is the exact same bullshit that was peddled about queer folks 30 years ago. It was a lie then and it's a lie now.

There will, unfortunately, be people cheering this on. First, we get rid of the rights of labour unions. Second, we get rid of the rights of transgender people. Who is the next group to use their rights? Maybe that third, or fourth, or fifth group will include you.
