So after reading this, I'd be interested to know how many of David Parker's demands were met here? This is setting up a great fear campaign for the next election, that's for sure. And it'll work very well, sadly.
I didn't notice any mention of additional funding for mental health supports for these children she's soooo concerned for, who will now have to navigate a more hostile environment and threat of parental retaliation. But why would she, we already know what this is really about.
Quote:
Smith said she didn't want to encourage or allow children to alter their biology or growth because she said it would pose a risk.
"Making permanent and irreversible decisions regarding one's biological sex while still a youth can severely limit that child's choices in the future," she said.
"Prematurely encouraging or enabling children to alter their very biology or natural growth, no matter how well intentioned and sincere, poses a risk to that child's future that I, as premier, am not comfortable with permitting in our province."
