THC posted:If it werent for the acceptance of gay people, won by decades of struggle, Baird would probably have never risen almost to the top of our government. He'd be a nobody. And what did he do? He went to bat for a racist party that shits on poor people and refugees, and claims that trans people are predators. Remember this? https://youtu.be/ZV1i8LWb9hY?t=1m32s

Being gay or lesbian seems super political. All that marching and ideological purity tests with every word you utter. They should go back to being straight, seems like it just be easier for them.

like your defense of john baird is literally, he's a politician who doesn't care about gay rights so who are we to criticize him for it i mean, i realize it's pretty loving hard to defend a human piece of poo poo, but this is a real stretch

How about instead of talking about what kind of furry we're the most attracted to we start talking about the new local MPs we just received from the glorious voting apparatus known as First Past the Post! I'll start with a lovely young man (only 27 so not nearly old enough to be overburdened with knowledge of the ups and downs of life), a man that got the extremely important backing of a pro-life group. A fellow that had the unfortunate experience of having scandalous attack ads launched against him by his liberal opponent (which were memorable for having only things he posted about himself on his website as the "attack ad" facts). Yes let's give it up for Garnett Genuis, the new MP for Sherwood Park-Fort Saskatchewan. I get to deal with that for 4 more loving years.

I don't think Baird has an especial responsibility to advocate for gay rights, any more or less than any other politician does, regardless of his sexuality, which is obviously none of our business. All of our politicians have a responsibility to advocate for gay rights because it's an issue of equality and human rights, so I think it's fair to criticize Baird for anything he has done to actively work against that, but I don't think his personal sexuality has anything to do with that. As for Nenshi, who was mentioned earlier in the discussion with regards to this issue, I think, if he's gay (and I personally think he probably is), it's too bad that he feels he should deny it. It's not his fault in the least that he feels that way, since there are a lot of social repercussions to being gay, unfortunately, and it's not his responsibility to be "out" if he doesn't want to be. It must be really difficult living your life and denying a significant portion of your personality, whatever it is, and I think we, as a society, should strive to create a world where people don't have to worry about accepting their sexuality or gender identity, whether they're in public life or not. I feel sorry for him if he feels he has to repress part of himself for the sake of politics.

Although I don't live in Manitoba anymore, I keep up with the politics there. In Elmwood transcona Daniel Blaikie was elected by 51 votes! The conservative incumbent Toet declined a recount so it's official. Daniel is the son of bill Blaikie who was the MP for Elmwood for years and years. He is also the brother of Rebecca Blaikie who is the president of the NDP. With Niki Ashton (daughter of Steve) in churchill the manitoba NDP has become a hereditary party. I assume it is only a matter of time until Joe wascylysia leis runs for office. I don't know anything about Catherine McKenna in Ottawa center. Someone tell me.

So when John Baird actively criticized Russian, Uganada and Kenya for anti-gay legislation when he was foreign minister and funnelled money to gay rights groups in those countries, or in every major vote in the house regarding gay rights voting in line with them even if it was against party lines was not actually supporting them? Sure, he didn't often go out of his way to defend them, and harboured any number of lovely political positions on other domains, but to make the claim that he wasn't doing anything for gay rights seems more than a stretch.

I (and I think 2 other posters here) ended up with this wingnut who only 5 short years ago literally cheated his way into the Conservative party because they didnt want him to begin with. At least he only won by like 200 votes so Barrie-Innisfil might finally be considered a swing riding instead of a conservative safe haven.

They were pamphlets (that the candidate whose team put them together didn't actually see until after they were distributed). I don't think we kept any of them, but I could go digging if you really care. They purely posted facts from his website, with a dumb blurb about do you want him to be your voice in Ottawa or something similar. My wife thought they were bad, but laughed at the conservative campaign chair who claimed the ads against Trudeau were just telling the facts, and that "someday he might be ready."
