(I posted this to Canadapolitics as well, but I wasn’t sure if I’d get responses so trying here as well!)
Despite the research I’ve done and the debates I’ve watched, the fact remains I agree with some of each candidates platform and disagree with other parts. I’m really struggling with how to vote both provincial (Ontario) and federal.
I thought it’d be fun to get other people’s opinion on the issues that matter most to you, why you think your candidate is trustworthy, and see if any of it helps solidify my vote! 🇨🇦
Yeah that’s something I take into consideration as well. So far the only thing I’ve seen is that the Conservatives platform says they want to ban gender affirming care for minors which personally concerns me given what’s happening in the states at the moment.
I’m interested in learning whether that’s even legal considering that discriminating based on gender identity is explicitly against the Charter.
Yeah I sure hope our protections are more robust than in the States so it wouldn’t be possible 😬
The federal Conservatives are in bed with all sorts of hateful people, Mr. PP sat down for a 2 hour interview with Jordan Peterson just a month ago for fuck sake. The man who resigned from the University of Toronto complaining about DEI practices (and calling them DIE in his letter) and who actively campaigned against a government bill that banned discrimination for gender identity.
Peterson was literally stupid enough he started a meat only diet to be more Masculine and reduce his depression, a diet which he had such a bad reaction to that he ended up on Benzos, and got addicted for which he sought treatment in Russia because no western doctor would put him in an induced coma long enough to ride out the withdrawal symptoms.
When a leader of a party is setting up 2 hour interviews with “SMRT” people like that… I don’t want them as my Prime Minister at all.
The Conservatives even had better choices in the leadership race, but no, they had to go with the guy who likes hate.
