It's been in force since July last year, and there was a bill in the house to protect transgendered rights in Canada absolutely, which passed the House of Reps, then Harper (the PM) called an election - dissolving both houses of parliament and killing the bill. This piece of legislation happened IMMEDIATELY after the election happened. So recap: trans* rights bill killed, discriminatory bill passed, all under the cover of the confusion of an election by an uber conservative government that has considered removing gay marriage etc etc etc. Yeah...oversight? Methinks not.

shocker

its war on trans every where this year

scratch another country off my list
