The Conservative grassroots voted overwhelmingly to restrict gender-affirming care for trans youth under the age of 18 on Saturday.

So the Conservative party, for the next election, offers: a) blowing up the economy to further enrich the 1%; and b) fucking over trans people. Wow, that is so appealing 🙄

You forgot: c) neutering the healthcare system to make it more like the US.

PP actually lucked out there and doesn’t need to plan to take action on it because the provinces are already doing a fine job of dismantling their respective healthcare systems

pp’s answer to COL is not to increase minimum wage, not create affordable avenues for buying housing, but to lower the price of oil. To create more pipelines to get tar-sands “oil” to market, and subsidize the oil companies to produce greener options.

This hypocrite is a corporate stooge. A fascist pig, dolled up to appeal to the dim witted. A God’s man that will shove his religious shit down or throats.

Yeah, I’m triggered by this bullshit

For rather short values of “always”. The current federal Conservatives are Preston Manning’s Reform Party with different logos, no real relation to the federal Progressive Conservatives who preceded them. (Not that the PCs were that much better—I’m leery of claiming they were more socially centrist without doing research on their actual policies at the time of collapse—but there isn’t a lot of them in the current party’s DNA.)

Fair enough and that’s a fun discussion… but I was replying to someone who said CPC, not all historical federal ‘conservative’ parties. The old PC/Reform split allowed for conservatives and right liberals to belong to different parties. Different times, policy wise though I think you’re right, the PC party is dead and gone in the CPC. I wonder where their voters went.

IOW: Sorry voters but you can’t have affordable housing or livable wages until we get rid of all the LGBT people.

If this true, we have been infected by the MAGA virus

And Conservatives want to be the gatekeepers over peoples health decisions.

Anyone who thinks personal, private health decisions are safe under conservative governments are fooling themselves. It’s all just timing and they’re willing to wait decades to get what they want. A quick look south confirms it.

They want a small government.

Specifically small enough to fit in your doctor’s office, your bedroom, and your womb.
