Everyone should notice the deeper implications here, Pierre will not stop the provinces from interfering in private medical decisions.

What right do Canadian women hold currently that could be put at risk by this kind of weak federal attitude? What right have Conservatives worked to deny women in the past, and is currently the target of active pressure groups?

Abortion, of course, the answer is abortion.

What tyranny is inflicted on trans people is now acceptable, and what tyranny is acceptable can be wrought on everyone. It’s similar to how they love to slip protection for misogynists into anti trans laws
