Councillor Tim Tierney is wrong about ‘Chronic No-Voters’ in his Ottawa Citizen Op/Ed on Saturday.
His opinion would be easier to take seriously if the comments weren’t coming from someone with a 15-year track record of being a reliable yes-man for every budget. 1/21

this can be changed at any time. our genes will even start expressing themselves differently within ~3-6 months.

one of the main reasons trans healthcare moved away from strict gatekeeping and toward informed consent & GAC is that trans ppl who were denied the means to transition would simply seek it out elsewhere

Disturbing, but not surprising. My bet is two primary things have happened: 1) general influence of right-wing populism we've seen in other countries hitting here. 2) The bipartisan consensus that immigration was to blame for the housing crisis (as opposed to, y'know, not building enough housing).

In 2015, only 16% strongly agreed Canada had too much immigration. By 2024, that number doubled to 33%.

Only cowardly politicians override charter rights before the courts can decide
Invoking the notwithstanding clause before a court can make a ruling is cowardly, politically motivated and a dangerous precedent.
