“Children have a right to learn about this, to keep themselves safe. By not allowing sexual assault centres into schools, we are doing a disservice to kids and we are putting them at risk.”
Since #sask leads the nation in STI's, domestic violence, HIV etc this is very true.
This is what the @SaskParty
gov has been reduced to, hiding from the very folks they pretend to lead then make up stories about tens of thousands of letters supporting their flawed policy.
Just sending ❤️ to the protestors at the #Saskatchewan legislature who are there to face Scott Moe and remind him that using the Norwothstanding clause to pick on vlunerable children is an abuse of power.
Saskatchewan labour groups are holding a rally at the legislative building on Tuesday, as provincial lawmakers gather two weeks early to pass a controversial piece of legislation.
With the @SaskParty inviting PP as guest speaker and changing their slogan to "Build and Protect" they are now officially segueing to being the hard right, culture warriors we knew was lurking beneath the skin for so many years.
Some unpleasant history, Ku Klux Klan in Canada "The organization was most successful in Saskatchewan, where it briefly influenced political activity and whose membership included a member of Parliament, Walter Davy Cowan." #cdnpoli#skpolihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan_in_Canada
EDIT: #Saskatchewan government will invoke the notwithstanding clause to overrule Judge 's injunction to halt school pronoun policy 😠
Earlier [Judge] Megaw issued his 56-page ruling ordering the policy be put on hold until a full hearing can take place... "I determine the protection of these youth surpasses that interest expressed by the government, pending a full and complete hearing"
Waterloo Professor @EmmettMacfarlane who specializes in Constitutional Law and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, spells out how unconstitutional and nefarious the transphobic education policy ideas being thrown around by conservative premiers really are.
Does anyone know parents of actual school-age children who support these bonkers #LGBTQ policies that a Premier now wants to override Charter rights for? #onpoli#skpoli#nbpoli#mbpoli
Premier Scott Moe of #Saskatchewan in a stunning abuse of power considers invoking the Notwithstanding clause to bully #LGBTQ children with new education policies. Wonder where he learned that one from? (Doug Ford) #skpoli
In addition to the challenge in Regina, Saskatchewan, The Canadian Civil Liberties Association has filed to challenge New Brunswick’s version of education policy forcing teachers and admin to out their #LGBTQ students. #Canadians won’t stand for hatred and attacking children. #onpoli#skpoli#mbpoli#nbpoli#cdnpoli
And this just further demonstrates the power of Christian Nationalists in Saskatchewan via “parental rights”. I imagine banning Evolution teaching will rise again in schools under this guise.
social media. It has radicalized a cohort of new adherents, more importantly, it has given these Nazis a chance to “punch above their weight” - they can create the appearance of popularity. They can make their causes seem more grassroots and give politicians opportunity to speak to this small-but-active constituency without having to own up to playing with fascists. The only flaw has been groups like the ADL, SPLC Canadian Anti-Hate .. (edited) #cdnpoli#skpolihttps://www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/elon-musk-bantheadl
