Yvonne Aburrow 🌻The new policies embraced by the Conservative Party in Canada are straight out of the broader far right playbook that is being shared among several right wing parties.

As Rowan Jetté Knox pointed out, these are not the conservatives of your parents’ generation. These are the new scary fascist variety. Please join/donate to ABC parties (NDP, Green, Liberal) and vote strategically in your riding to keep the Tories out. Please start organizing with your local community to make sure to get the progressive voters to the polls. And if they win, organize to resist their awful policies.
They’ve added a policy to make schools check with parents before allowing kids to use new names and pronouns. This could be very dangerous if the kids are not out as trans or nonbinary to their parents. It’s unconscionable that schools could be forced to out trans and nonbinary kids to potentially hostile parents. Or that teens could be refused life-saving gender affirming care.
Note for those who don’t know: trans teens cannot currently have surgery and no-one is advocating for them to have surgery. What the Tories want to ban is puberty blockers and counselling. Puberty blockers are reversible (and anyway detransitioning is incredibly rare).
You can bet that the Tories will roll back even the somewhat skimpy climate policies offered by Trudeau too.
