I am not totally sure but that twitter post borders on criminal... like in the literal sense; i.e. you might be liable to go to jail for posting that. I'm sure she couched it in all the language of "compassion and healing" at the end to avoid that, but I really don't know if it saves it.

Tara served as the House leader of OneBC until December 2025, when she left the party and has since sat in the Legislature as an Independent.

On October 6, 2025, OneBC proposed a bill against gender-affirming healthcare, inspired by the US anti-trans organization Do No Harm's model legislation.[13] The bill would have prohibited doctors from providing puberty blockers and hormone therapy to minors, public funds from being used for gender transitions, and imposed the misgendering of students in schools. It would have also given parents and children 25 years after gender transition treatments to sue their doctors. The bill was defeated before its first reading, a rare occurrence, by a vote of 48 to 40.[14] Later that same month, on October 23, the party proposed a bill that would have banned public institutions and employees from making land acknowledgements;[15] the bill was defeated 88 to 5 in the first reading.[16] [wiki]

To accept people as they are and they dont have to hide or change their true selfs to meet other people's idea of identity. And if there is an increase in violence recently, maybe having your sense of identity being attacked and singled out as being what is wrong with society, being called mentally ill and having your rights taken away as in this province using the not withstanding clause might have something to do with it? Experts warned of suicide rates increasing in the LGBTQ community as society marginalize's once again after making strides to be accepted.

Meh, she'll love it. My wife was volunteering for Carney in the last federal election. She got a hateful Facebook message from a dude (basically stating that she is the problem with this country) and we had it blown up onto coroplast and it hangs in our office. An insult from 'the other side' is a badge of honour for both sides at this point.

She's an MLA in the BC Legislature. Once Maple MAGA gets a whiff of that post she'll be on the fast track to MP. Cynically, I wonder if that was her goal.

Another depressing shooting in Canada, this one in Quebec. A double murder suicide (two children and the father).

There will be 10 or more mass shootings (in the US) over the next week and this one will stick in peoples minds because of the shooter being trans. It’s really sad that to see how politicized this is getting. There are no “wins” here, politically or otherwise.

Hate to be that guy, because it's usually the definition of mid-wittery, but source on that?
And I'm talking recent data, like last 10-15 years.

The bottom line is that those people don't like it when trans people show up anywhere or in anything. It doesn't matter if it's on TV, sports, politics, or schools, whatever. So of course when something like this happens, they are going to rail on it. They don't like trans people at all and this gives them an easy thing to hate on, because who doesn't hate school shooters.
