Brazeau is an interesting example, because he has engaged in some advocacy for vulnerable populations in recent years (e.g. warning labels on alcohol, pushing for research on male suicide). Does not absolve him at all of his past shenanigans, but I'd say he's not lock-in-step the same as Duffy or Beyak and that ilk. Seems like he's learned a little bit about what public office should be about.

This asshole, on the other hand... Senators should absolutely face sanctions, at the very least, for supporting seditious fuckwads and saying their voice matters over the everyday citizens that make up most of the population of Ottawa.

REITS need to be banned. People owning multiple homes should face a heavy tax that only increases with each property you hoard. Fuck this noise.

I mean, the intent behind these kinds of businesses is activism, really. They're definitely taking a page out of the Marc Emery playbook with their business model, forcing law enforcement to sort of play wack-a-mole with multiple locations but being super duper obvious with their presence as a business, and using that to really highlight the disproportionate investment of resources in the enforcement of some rather archaic drug laws.

I think BC and QC have concetrated communities of anti-science individuals, which makes the ignorance seem more prevalent than it actually is. Then again, the number of people I know who recognize naturopathy is bullshit but then routinely see a chiropractor is WAY too high

He has actively courted incels and such on social media with hash tags. This isn't a slip up, these people are his base. The only thing he's sorry for is that people who aren't raging hateful assholes notice.

It's just insane to me that Smith and her supporters can look around and say "nope, we gotta defend O&G and the status quo". With ocean and surface temperature records being broken on a daily basis now

He literally fired the team in charge of that 😆

The infrastructure here is honestly embarrassing sometimes. Stay hydrated y'all!! In heat like this it's important to keep drinking water, even if you're not all that thirsty.

NO. Holy fucking shit, no. I just looked it up, oh boy my MP is getting a strongly worded email tonight. Fuck that noise

lpt- reuters only uses a soft paywall, you can bypass it pretty easily by opening articles in an incognito/private window

I'm guessing that "certain parts" for them is simply trans people being visible. They should be aware of the high risk of suicide as they claim they were formally a therapist in a past comment, but they disagree with the value of gender affirming care so I really doubt there's any semblence of compassion for queer people in that ugly little heart of theirs. What kind of person reviews the body of evidence that shows it saves lives and think "this LGBTQ stuff is going too far", jfc

You are the very last thing from ally. Wading through the transphobia all over your post history, you've clearly stated you don't even believe in gender affirming care. If you're constantly being told that you're alt-right when you believe you're not, as you claim in another comment, or need to complain how everyone calls you a bigot when you express these opinions, maybe you need to reflect a little bit more on the beliefs you're trying to push on others. Because let's be very clear here, you're saying it's unacceptable and too extreme to accept trans people for who they are. That queer people existing openly is "an invasive culture". You're seeking compromise over someone being able to freely be themselves, safely and without fear. Nah, bigot, YOU can be the one to compromise, and shush. Anyone pushing opinions that break the treaty of tolerance doesn't deserve respect or consideration.
