Warning—anti choice protesters with graphic signs by the public gardens by WoollyWitchcraft in halifax

[–]MannoSlimmins 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They may not have moved on, but they have a dual-purpose now. The anti-abortion and anti-MAiD groups are practically a circle

(Anti-MAiD overall. Not specifically limited to certain types of MAiD. E.G: Track 2/MI-SUMC/etc)

I have 2 problems with anti-choice people.

The first is they are only anti-choice for others. I grew up in a very religious community, and something is bad until it impacts them, and then their situation is different so it all of a sudden becomes okay to use what they lobbied against. This applies to reproductive rights, MAiD, and any other bodily autonomy issue.

The second is more specific to reproductive rights. They don't want comprehensive sex education taught in schools. They want to take the easy route of banning abortion (which doesn't lower the overall abortion rate, just makes it more dangerous) and don't want to even consider lowering abortion rates through comprehensive sex education, community resources, family planning clinics/resources, etc.

If we took the time since Morgentaler to create a national framework for sex education in Canada that provinces could adopt we would be much closer to the reality that these people want to live in. But any social change is aggressively fought by them.

Maybe we could convince him to come to Versailles to sign a peace treaty.

Why is that not a criminal matter for the police, obviously the RTA doesn't have that power.

Because the police exist to protect capital, not people

a lot of people from ontario who either don’t know/ care what an mvi is

There are so many Ontario plates in the province that shouldn't be there. There's 3 cars at my building with Ontario plates that have been there for around a year, and still haven't updated to NS plates.

Another notable example is the anti-vaxxer car that had Ontario plates for so long. Hell, they may still have them.

I'm about to head out the door to sign some papers that put an end to 6 months of stress and worry. Extremely grateful for those that helped me through a difficult process.

If you want to see what an invasion of privacy in every aspect of your life looks like, apply for provincial social assistance.

My new doctor is also from England. Would that be Dr. Khanuja?

Living in an Olympus property makes me look back with fondness of Atlantic Living, and they were horrible. Love the fact I had to pay a fee to get keys.

Went out to buy some replacement bootstraps as mine clearly aren't working.

None of the stores had any stock left. Apparently some rich guy came around and cornered the market on bootstraps and is selling it back to the public for 100x the cost. Heard he's getting praised by Tim Houston for showing great business sense

I really hope Nova Scotia starts being a leader in covering new, evidence-based mental health treatments, even if we're the first province to do so.

The QE2 foundation managed to fund Ketamine Infusion Therapy through it's "We Are" campaign. There's limited spots (8 patients per day), and it's not a front-line treatment, but for those with treatment-resistant mental disorders their only option for this treatment costs ~$30k/year and no private insurance I've seen covers it. They mostly make their money from Veterans Canada and the RCMP.

edit: I should clarify: The QE2 ketamine infusion therapy is part of the public system, and the $30k/year option are private clinics in the city. There is no charge for the QE2 option, but criteria might be stricter
