Conservative delegates voted Saturday to add some new social conservative policies to their policy playbook including a proposal to limit access to transgender health care for minors and to do away with vaccine mandates.

This is genuinely horrifying. I know I shouldn't expect anything but the most despicable behaviour from conservative voters, but even so...

Just last month my sister moved to Canada with her two kids, because they needed to escape this exact bullshit from the Conservatives over there. Her daughter needs to be on puberty blockers right now, and getting them in the UK is a hellish experience for any parent of a trans child.

I can't even begin to imagine how I explain to her that conservatives here are pursuing the exact same regressive, hateful, murderous policy agenda. And that despite that, they're probably going to win the next federal election, because our idiotic voters think that flipping a switch back and forth every decade is the equivalent of meaningful change.

If they don’t get a majority then the Conservatives need to find another party to work with to form government.

Pierre’s time is mostly spent shitting on all of them so it might bit him on the ass.
