Although the bill passed without his support, the Canadian Prime Minister voted against a bill that would ensure protection against discrimination for transgendered people. Great job, Stephie-boy. Way to show your support for all Canadians.

And Rob Anders? Voting against the bill to protect the babies from pedophiles and women from rapists by not giving men access to women's washrooms? Guess what??? If a man has it in his mind to rape or assault someone in a public washroom he's already in there, legislation or not. It's not like us women learn a super-secret password and handshake the second we're old enough to go pee by ourselves that give us access. ANYONE can walk into ANY public washroom at ANY time.

Oh, and it wouldn't be giving men access to women's washrooms. It would be giving transgendered WOMEN access to women's washrooms.

Sigh. How many years until I can vote these idiots out?

Stay classy there Stevie.

The answer to your question is not soon enough.

Ugh....I can't even form words I am so disgusted at the PM.

Why am I not surprised? Can't wait until we can get rid of him.

My MP, David Wilks, voted in favour of the legislation! That being said, bring on the next election.

Sigh. How long until we stop having votes on whether people get to have civil rights protections?

[Hane]

But...but...Canada! Here we are, south of your border, counting on you to set a good example!

Isn't that always the answer to that question, regardless of the country or politicians involved? :roll: I know you can do better, Canada, please do so! I am a huge fan of you in general.
