The conservatives voted for body autonomy and ban mask mandates… and then banned body autonomy for transgendered children
These dumbasses are handed such an easy path to getting a majority and they’re going to squander it on these stupid conservative culture war takes. I really hope Canadians see soon that if they feel let down by the liberals, the conservatives are only going to be a shittier version of the worst aspects of the liberals. We should be looking to the NDP or green parties for real change.
We gotta fix voting so the oranges have a shot of at least a minority and so the greens have to field a decent plan like in the 90s because they can’t bitch about voting anymore.
I hate the least-worse voting strategy and the alternatives we’re awarded if it fails.
From a party of babies who are afraid of a needle, they sure seem to care about what other people do with their bodies.
I thought they were for freedom?
They want freedom to do what they want, not freedom for you to do what you want. To be fair, we are all a bit like that.
Despite warnings that these policies could be weaponized by their political opponents to hurt their standing among more moderate voters, a strong majority of the delegates on hand voted for a motion that stated children should be prohibited from gender-related “life-altering medicinal or surgical interventions,” and for another that said Canadians should have “bodily autonomy” when it comes to vaccines and other health treatments.
This is great. It’s harder to nail them when they don’t say the quiet part out loud.
I really hope this is the stuff that turns the squishy middle against them. I know some trans kids and I’m scared to death of shit like this for them.
But I also know most people see trans kids as weird and scary as a concept, and are ready to go along with this fear.
Listen to the kids.
If you want trump policies in Canada PP and the CPC are your people.
It has always been my dream as a white man to apply to a job created for a young black man from a low income family. Some day I will be able to do so without fear of persecution.
To whoever went through and downvoted everyone: we see you.
Your kids will hate you and it will be your fault.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Conservative delegates voted Saturday to add some new social conservative policies to their policy playbook, including a proposal to limit access to transgender health care for minors and do away with vaccine mandates.
While some members warned these policies could be weaponized by their political opponents to hurt their standing among more moderate voters, a strong majority of the delegates on hand voted for one motion that stated children should be prohibited from gender-related “life-altering medicinal or surgical interventions,” and another motion that said Canadians should have “bodily autonomy” when it comes to vaccines and other health treatments.
About 69 per cent of the delegates agreed that young people should be barred from gender-affirming care, which sometimes includes hormone-related treatments that delay puberty or promote the development of masculine or feminine sex characteristics.
The vaccine issue sparked comments about events that transpired during the COVID-19 pandemic, including high-profile freedom rallies.
About 68 per cent of delegates voted on the motion to “affirm Canadians have the freedom and right to refuse vaccines.”
Discussion about the motion focused on Jordan Peterson, a professor with a large following in right-wing circles, who was ordered by the University of Toronto to take social media training in the wake of complaints about his controversial online posts and statements.
