    I don’t disagree with you that euthanized people instead of treating them is fucked, but that’s definitely a side effect of capitalism, because it’s cheaper to just euthanize than have the system support them.

    About the “forcing schools to observe gay pride”: it appears you posted an article from national post, which has a known centre-right bias, so i read the article to see if the headline is actually accurate, and it very much isn’t.

    Aside from this, what I see is laws prohibiting discrimination, and people being allowed their right to protest a perform “walk-outs”, which doesn’t sound like forcing them to observe gay pride at all.

    The requirement was for them to not discriminate and to not make queer people feel unsafe. A lot of the teachers chose, on their own accord, to celebrate pride. This headline is clearly intentionally emotional and grossly misrepresents a situation that deserves far more nuance.

    I’d argue that right now, Canada is nothing more than very slightly centre-left, maybe. But it is far from “the other extreme”.

      Fair enough. Maybe I have been injected with too much kool-aid. Ty for your balanced response
