Hey Pierre Poilievre? We are inviting MPs to show their support for #RainbowEquality .

Will you use this moment to show queer Canadians you won’t restrict our rights and freedoms? Or will you stay silent amidst rising hate?

Take the pledge: rainbowequality.ca/pledge

read the comments under this post and tell me there isn’t a rise in anti-trans and anti-queer hate.

Read this letter to Pierre Poilievre from a young trans person. Give it a RT if you agree: Poilievre should be supporting transgender kids, not playing politics with their dignity, rights and acceptance.

Too much Mental Health Awareness is:

The doom and gloom we feel as 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ people isn’t a coincidence. It’s a deliberate strategy by the far right and their pals in elected office. They want us demoralized, scared, divided and reactive.

Since Barb Adam’s has me blocked, someone else can tag her.

The only right thing for him to do would be to step down. He’s dangerous holding this position.

Federal gov goes big on housing, not enough on nonmarket.
Not enough when it comes to the disability benefit ($200 a month is absolutely inadequate);
More investment in child care spaces but not wages. Increase in taxes on the wealthiest. Read on monitormag.ca/articles/feder…

Never seen a country more eager—more desperate—to start a war that could kill thousands on both sides.
