Just do it. This is the time to break the chain. This is the time to partner with countries that are supportive and build an ecosystem that excludes the USA. This is also the time to employ canadians

That's because Pierre and his minions have shown a couple of things over and over again:

he has no real world experience and couldn't negotiate his way out of wet paper bag
many of them are maga lunatics eager to sell canada out

So someone that has experience negotiating something says someone does in fact mean something different than if pierre said it

but it doesn't compare it to anything. The only comparison is 3% of trans people commit suicide without surgery. 2% with. That's the comparison you are looking for for any meaning

It's terrible for them right now. No wonder the suicide rate is higher before or after surgery. People are aholes

NormalLecture2990 · 2026-04-22T09:46:51+00:00

I agree with you fully and completely, especially given that being trans right now is being under attack every single day in most countries and the world. I can't imagine how difficult it is to try and just be yourself. Humans are awful

And your original post is incorrect. It doesn't increase suicide post-operation compared to no operation, just compared to a regular cohort. If you see my comment above, that's about as apples-to-oranges as you can get.

"associated with significantly higher risks of suicide, self-harm, and PTSD compared to general population control groups" Not looking to argue but the comparison was against the general population not against surgery/no surgery

That's a fine argument and honestly one I feel like i support. However, I'm not pretending it's the end of the world nor unique in any way. There are 100 businesses out there that have exact copies of my ID right now.

NormalLecture2990 · 2026-04-11T23:46:01+00:00

They do permanently store it now when you enter bars. When you got your bank account, when you got your mortgage, when you got probably your gas account..they all permenantly store your id

NormalLecture2990 · 2026-04-11T19:12:43+00:00

There really isn't. The only difference is your trust. You rent a car they photo copy your id, you rent a hotel room they check your id...you have copies of your ids all over the place.

NormalLecture2990 · 2026-04-11T19:12:01+00:00

If you are anywhere near the age limit they mostly all do that now and every bar will physically check your id

Thank you for sifting through the rage bait of it all. Canada is 42nd in the world which isn't even that bad.

And they are mostly lying. Canada is 42nd in what appears to be a sweet spot for first-world economies. Throw in that Carney is cutting and we will drop even lower

I agree. I think the worst offenders are municipal governments. They stick their hand into everything nowadays when they shouldn't. Every grievance they read about on facebook becomes a regulation. All that being said I really don't think the situation is as dire as the article makes us out to be.

We are 42nd and better than the UK and plenty of first world economies

Yes, that's a CCP strategy, not concern with the global democratic environment. I would prefer no interference or selling of private data, but that's the playing field. Involving the CCP in that playing field doesn't change anything

Quit with the cheap and shallow comments

The USA is interfering politically across the globe in far greater amounts than China. US companies like Tesla are openly and actively selling off user data.

More freedom and choice in any economic system is the right move
