Naturally, there's every reason to disagree with Charles McVety's framing of Bill Siksay's Bill C-389 on gender identity and gender expression. But it's rather interesting that he's applying pressure to the Cons - who have done nothing at all but vote against the bill - for refusing to make more of a public stink out of it. And it seems entirely possible that this may be the point where the Cons' culture warriors break their muzzles - with what are bound to be entertaining results.
That said, it's well worth pointing out the remarkable progress the bill has made with the Libs and Bloc both supporting it. And while there will surely be at least some shenanigans yet to come in the Senate, there's reason to hope that at least one positive social step might yet find its way into law even over the objection of the governing Cons.
