Pre election: “We will protect these rights, and fight for true equity for women—in health, in the workplace, and in their access to fundamental rights.”
Now the government is contemplating cuts so deep that they will exceed those that laid waste to the women’s sector during the Harper years.

In conservative circles there is not a high level of understanding of the issues for trans kids. It really doesn’t help that the Premier lies about them every chance she gets. The UCP’s only goal is to create an effective wedge out of it imo.
