    This is the kind of garbage we should expect from the CPC, not a surprise at all, but what does it even mean to “leave LGBT issues to parents”? If a gay person exists is that too much? If a fictional gay person exists in a book is that too much? Can a married teacher acknowledge their spouse? Can a person take a piss without having someone inspect their genitals or call them out?

    Conservatives simply will not defend LGBT people and their rights, they will not defend women, they will not defend minorities or immigrants, and they certainly, absolutely, will not defend the working class.

    I know it’s not popular, but it’s times like right now that I get the most pissed off at the both side boosters crawling around calling the CPC and LPC both “neo-liberal” when there are clear and obvious policy and attitude differences between the two parties. Would the CPC have cancelled student loan interest and allowed decades to repay? No. Would the CPC have funded $10 a day childcare nation wide? No. Would the CPC tax carbon, promote EVs, invest in charging infrastructure? No. Would the CPC have invested the resources to lift 91 water boil advisories , and be working on the others? No. Would the CPC have enforced support for women’s healthcare? No. Would they be working with the NDP for a national pharmacare program? No. Legal cannabis? Hahahaha No.

    I could go on and on and on about the sunlike levels of daylight between the conservative neoliberal CPC and the liberal LPC parties but I feel like I’d be screaming into the void at this point.

    We keep up with these false equivalents, not give the LPC credit for their success, and we are just going to end up with the political equivalent of governance by blacked out F150 with skeleton middle finger stickers. Fuck
