Everyone should notice the implication 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?

Abortion, of course, the answer is abortion.

This loser, couldn't comment until his internal polling said it was okay. What a shame he's even considered a front runner.

It's great to know where he stands on this!

He did say he was considering banning care for trans minors.

Oh certainly, but every time they say it again I get a fresh example to use against gaslighting conservatives.

The fact that PP is so strongly antitrans and that hasn't disqualified them as a candidate is deeply disappointing... Canada is a country that should be at the front of the pack in terms of human rights.

Polls these days aren't necessarily that accurate (though they can skew things when they get used in media so much and people believe they are).

I wish it were, but why should Canada be at the front of the pack in human rights?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

We should be at the front of the pack because we can be. We're not blameless (see residential schools or the treatment of Italians in WW2) but we're not the world police, we have an immense amount of global clout, we have a stable democracy... and we can. Canada is much more a shining city on a hill than America ever was.

Also, if you want to be cynical, by being a leader in human rights we thrive economically as we attract cultural refugees fleeing sexual orientation repression, gun culture, the caste system, and stupid abortion laws. People want to live somewhere they can be themselves.

Phuckboy Pierre is a giant asshole and a homophobe? Yeah we knew that already, but always good to see him getting called out for it.
