🇨🇦 👋 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.
