If You Guys Dont Know Anything About Canadian Politics, I Dont Think You Realize How Insane This Liberal

if you guys dont know anything about canadian politics, i dont think you realize how insane this liberal victory is.

just months ago, the conservatives had an almost guaranteed win. Trudeau was insanely unpopular even among his own party, the progressive vote was split between them and the NDP, and the conservatives had gained so much more ground with the up-and-comer poilievre who came in with a canadian trump campaign strategy. We were resigned to losing, canadian minorities were making backup plans for their livelihoods in the likely event that we would be targeted by poilievre and his goons. His victory seemed like a sad inevitability that we could only stand up for so long against

And then trump was elected. and then canadians woke the fuck up from their conservative pipe dreams as we were hit with tariffs and annexation threats. and then trudeau resigned, leaving his bad blood behind. and then the NDP nuked themselves by publicly betraying the minorities they claimed to serve with their "we dont care who you vote for as long as they arent liberal" strategy, ending the split progressive vote as they were left behind. and then Mark Carney, the best possible liberal leader for this moment in time to win as many people over as possible, was elected liberal leader. Not all of these things are good, many are terrible, many are complicated, but politics is incredibly complicated, and it's the system we work on, so it's the hand we have to play.

And it was close tonight. It was uncomfortably, nauseatingly close, even with all these factors at play, even with ridings in the prariries of all regions going red, because that's how guaranteed a conservative win seemed not too long ago.

But they didn't win. We won.

I want us all to take this moment in time and think back on it when it all seems hopeless and like it'll never be right again. An anti-doomerism moment if you will. Because he was going to win, that wasn't a question, he WAS going to win. And then he didn't.

NEVER. KILL. YOURSELF.

I know most people don't care about anything unless it has to do with the U.S. but can we please start talking about the Canadian election.

Please don't vote for Poilievre. He's basically the Canadian Trump and plans to put in place laws that harm trans youth, and lots of other shit.

Please vote istg this is the only way anything will get better. Poilievre has been kissing millionaires and billionaires asses. He'll make life even harder, and he loves Trump.

Reblogs are appreciated, especially if you aren't Canadian.

This post is about Canada, do not derail or say that "it's worse in America." Canadians are very scared, we deserve to talk about our issues without Americans talking over us.

A screenshot of an infographic displaying the Alberta coat of arms at the top. The text reads: Legalizing Gender Checks on Albertan Students: A Legal Loophole Proudly Endorsed by Danielle Smith and the United Conservative Party.

Bill 29 (Sec. 2) gives the following entities the power to report your child to the Minister and demand proof of gender, regardless if the student is transgender or not, in order to be eligible to participate in gendered school sports:
a school division, a charter school, a private school, a Francophone regional authority, a public post-secondary institution, an independent academic institution
a provincial sport organization prescribed by the regulations, an entity or class of entity prescribed by the regulations.

This means if a faculty member suspects your student is transgender, regardless if they are actually transgender or not, a student can be banned from participating in certain school sports.

Bill 29 outlines a Protection From Liability (Sec. 6), meaning parents may face difficulties pursuing legal action or compensation if their child was wrongly barred from participating in a school sport or team and suffers damages as a result.

Bill 29 does not definitively state the method(s) in which a student’s proof of gender must be obtained, instead leaving it open to interpretation for the above entities’ boards to decide a policy upon. This may open up students (regardless if transgender or not), and their families, to: sexual, physical, and/or emotional abuse and harassment from peers or faculty of the above entities, ostracization; bullying, ridicule, embarrassment , defamation; false reporting.

Of 4,262,635 Albertans,12,480 Albertans aged 15 or older identify as transgender or non-binary. This is less than 0.3% of Alberta’s entire population.

There are 800,038 children enrolled in schools across Alberta; 607,123 between ECS - Grade 9. If the same 0.3% were to apply, the total of transgender children in Albertan schools would amount to fewer than 1800.

0.3% is not an epidemic. It’s 12,480 members of your community being used to scare worried parents into giving the government authority over Albertans’ privacy, autonomy and medical information.

Submit Complaints to Danielle Smith / The Premier’s Office at premier@gov.ab.ca, at 780-427-2251 or at 587-270-5110 or through fax at 780-427-1349. Send mailed complaints to:
Office of the Premier, 307 Legislature Building, 10800 - 97 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T5K 2B6.

Submit Complaints to The United Conservative Party at
780-644-2297, or at 203 – 2915 21 Street NE Calgary, AB T2E 7T1. Submit Complaints to a Minister or MLA at alberta.ca/staff-directory.cfm.

Bill 29: The Fairness and Safety in Sport Act

Danielle Smith and the United Conservative Party are being creepy weird about children again and since this also directly targets people like me [trans people] I have opted to skip the niceties cut scene and get right down to choosing violence.

Seriously, I cannot be the only person weirded out over how creepily obsessed Danielle Smith and the United Conservative Party are over trans people. They talk more about trans people than anything else. Just in October they pushed out three anti-trans bills - the above included. For what? There's MAYBE 2000 trans kids out of the 800,000 students in the whole province. It's pretty damn insane they're trying to legalize gender checks on children at all.

Ofc, some people are waving it off saying "No! It's just for the trans kids!! >:C". Nah mate. If your kid is a slight bit too effeminate or masculine or just plainly doesn't fit the Gender Roles, you bet their ass is getting reported by faculty members acting in bad faith. Hope you aren't aiming for sport scholarships in college / university👍

Some people are also whining about trans people having "athletic advantages" again so lemme say here: I have cis friends who played girl's rugby in high school. They were VERY capable of decimating the boys. If your cis kid can't measure up against a trans kid, that's just a straight up skill issue. get good maybe? lmao

This ain't the time to take the moral high road. If Danielle Smith and the United Conservative Party want to throw the tiny 0.3% of Albertans under the bus in the name of snatching authority over kids' bodily autonomy, then yeah I Will stoop to their level and be a dick about it because that shit is unhinged freak behavior. They keep saying trans people are out to get their kids but girl... the call is coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE
