As much as I want the provincial powers to be respected, I’ve got no issue if a federal MP calls out the provinces and if the federal government opens budgets that need to be spent on specific things.
It’s frustratingly hypocritical that the defense of the pronoun and name rule is justified by “parental rights” when the rules banning medical interventions like puberty blockers actually take away the rights of parents who want to support their child’s gender identity.
This guy’s “plan” for fixing housing is cutting funding to cities if they don’t fix it. Seems like Pierre isn’t particularly interested in staying in his lane, either. Which is totally reasonable, the federal government should care about housing. Just like it should care about the rights of its citizens.
Everyone should notice the deeper implications here, Pierre will not stop the provinces from interfering in private medical decisions.
What right do Canadian women hold currently that could be put at risk by this kind of weak federal attitude? What right have Conservatives worked to deny women in the past, and is currently the target of active pressure groups?
What tyranny is inflicted on trans people is now acceptable, and what tyranny is acceptable can be wrought on everyone. It’s similar to how they love to slip protection for misogynists into anti trans laws

Hey Pollievre, butt out of personal identity and medical decisions.
I’m glad that Dr. Danielle Smith knows how lead her province’s healthcare without making it political.
Dr. Marlaina Smith, I didn’t see no parental consent to change her name.
They’re probably embarrassed to admit she’s theirs.

“Pierre Poilievre supports plan to kill trans youths.”
That’s it. Smith’s plan will kill people, and Poilievre supports it.
Fuck Pierre Poilievre. With a wire brush.
In every hole

I want to violate the Canada health act but still get my money for it: PP and DS.
Maybe should PP should ‘butt out’ of the conversation between doctors, parents, and minors who need puberty blockers.
I know that hypocrisy is ‘on brand’ for the far-right, but fuck, it’s annoying.
PP is called PeePee for good reason.
Is it his membership in the Peril Partnership?

Abortion, of course, the answer is abortion.
