Whether there is absolutely any truth to this or not its sort of the main reasons I hear about not voting for them.

This is what really bothers me about politics in general (not directed at you specifically), the assumption that economic and social policy have to be connected on the same side of the political spectrum.

It's entirely possible for me to believe that we should be more prudent on our spending, but that transgender people should have rights.

The NDP and UCP are the parties that have hitched their agendas to one side, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to decouple the two.

Pipelines don't have anything to do civil rights.
