Ah, Marlaina.
Climate change? Naaaah.
Wildfires destroying homes and towns? Don't care.
Health care collapsing? Not a problem.
Abusing trans kids? Now THERE'S something she can get behind.
It might be ironic that a premier who doesn't use her legal first name is now the 'champion' of preventing others from using alternative names to their legally recognized first name.
I remember when Doug Ford was just Rob Ford's (mayor of Toronto) brother. I had heard that Doug went vegan or vegetarian after working in a slaughterhouse during his adolescence. During the pandemic as premier he introduced new 'Ag-gag' laws that criminalize people exposing illegal animal cruelty on farms and whatnot - doing essentially the most non-vegan/vegetarian thing one could do with their new political power.
Other than believing there's a natural social hierarchy and that they're at the top of it, Conservatives don't have principles as far as I can tell, or at least they're incredibly hypocritical, or they believe in-group vs out-group status matters above all else. I find them morally and rationally absurd
- If you don’t want to fuck the other sex you have mental illness.
  First off, that is hate speech. You've been reported. I think you should be banned.
  I'm not wasting another second on you. Blocked
But why?
What a waste of time and effort just to control people. Don't be fooled by right wing and conservative parties. They just want to control you and strip away your freedoms.
Legislation will not stop children from doing what is right. It will however highlight how out of touch the ucp is.
The conservative mandate: divide and distract people with fabricated social issues while transferring profits from the public to the private sector and capital losses from the private sector to the public sector (e.g., bailouts, subsidies, deregulation)
