The thing about trying to frame LGBTQ discrimination as "religious freedom" is that we have never granted any religion the freedom to harm or control others. That is where freedom stops. You can *believe* all you want that a woman marrying her girlfriend is evil, but belief is for you, not others.

You've probably heard of Bill C-12 and C-2, but there's a slate of other bills that, when assembled together transformer style, could create a freedom repression machine that rivals the one south of the border.

Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."

Someone just informed me that they find the Oxford comma to be “overrated and unnecessary."
I find such comments to be discourteous, disrespectful, and unwarranted.

Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history

Mark Carney is billing it as an “investment budget,” but with plans to cut $60 billion in program spending and eliminate 40,000 jobs (10% of the federal public service), @dtcochrane.bsky.social says it’s more like an austerity budget

Once again, the "excesses" experienced were largely hallucinated through social media. People in positions of power, addicted to Twitter, scrolling through stories and opinions that they found confrontational--or reading conspiracies and horror stories from their fellow travellers.
When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo
