🇨🇦 👋 Remember this politician's name, as the first hateful and ignorant official who made idiotic and hurtful public comments about the young woman, Jesse Van Rootsleaar.
Perhaps send Tara an email or phone call (contact info below) informing her of our displeasure of her jumping in to use the tragedy to promote her ideology and for political gain .
Tell her this is Not how we treat our Canadian family members.
What she should be saying is our country needs to be supportive of trans people.

Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream MLA Tara Armstrong

"Just hours following the shooting, Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream MLA Tara Armstrong—who left the provincial Conservative Party in 2024 and now sits as an independent—claimed in a sweeping post on X that the then-unnamed shooter was trans, connected transness to mental illness and suggested that gender-affirming care is connected to this “epidemic of violence.”
