Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, responding to Alberta's proposed rules for transgender youth, says the federal government needs to 'butt out' of provincial health care and education.

Hey Pollievre, butt out of personal identity and medical decisions.

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?

Abortion, of course, the answer is abortion.

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

"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.

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.

PP is called PeePee for good reason.

Is it his membership in the Peril Partnership?

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

They’re probably embarrassed to admit she’s theirs.

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.

I want to violate the Canada health act but still get my money for it: PP and DS.
