I live near this jackass and know people that have had to deal with his nonsense. He has been a school trustee and used his position of power to make anyone not identifying as cisgenderd in the district a living hell. This isn’t about free speech this is about Human Rights. The messaging from the Conservatives has been about free speech, this is a misdirect.

How about a snapshot of the parties as well please?

I could care less what scumbag cons do. No time at all for them. But any NDP or greens voting for it should be turfed out.

Gross. But I do understand the tradition of not voting down on first reading. But Armstrong seems to constantly introduce bills that have no chance of proceeding as a dog whistle / fundraising mechanism with her Trumpish base.

This is disgusting, they’re not even trying to hide how corrupt they are anymore.

Armstrong’s bill was motivated by a recent $750,000 fine issued by the BC Human Rights Tribunal against former Chilliwack school trustee Barry Neufeld over his comments about LGBTQ people.

This seems pretty complicated and messy, as it does seem someone is being fined 750k for their speech, which sounds like the bill being revoked is the thing removing free speech rights. Given this article lacks any detail or nuance does anyone have any real specifics?
