BC soon to add gender identity to Human Rights Code
Submitted by Robyn on Thu, 07/21/2016 - 2:14pmEquality news out of Canada from yesterday:
Attorney General Suzanne Anton said the BC Liberals will table the amendment in the upcoming summer legislative session, after years of lobbying by NDP MLA Spencer Chandra Herbert and transgender advocacy groups.
In Canada-speak, "tabling an amendment" means "bring it to the table."
As British Columbians, we must ensure everyone in B.C., especially those most likely to face discrimination, are not only protected by the law, but feel they are protected and understand that they are protected.
--Anton
God I wish we could detect lying politicians before they do damage!

I am sorry but in my personal experience people who have such views are dlc centrists 99% of the time, so the only conclusion I can draw is that conned his fellow "Berners" in to giving him this job, just so he could sheepdog them and Nader bait them.
Imagine lying on your back with your hands in the air. Now imagine being shot by police.

A black man and a caregiver at an assisted living facility, Charles was shot and injured by an officer as he was lying on his back, hands in the air, while trying to help an autistic man playing with a toy truck who'd wandered away from the facility.

You're fired.
F that.
I am NOT a CT freak.
But the way this is playing out at the RNC convention?
Let's review. The Cruz, RNC and Trumpeters all approved the speech ahead of time.
Then the Drumpfers Fired up delegations to slam the Cruzter.
Then, himself enters the hall before the Cruz is done.
Oh let's not forget entering Day 1 through the smoke like it's WWE.

What if they pick Sanders?
Submitted by Thaumlord-Exelbirth on Thu, 07/21/2016 - 9:55amSo I've been thinking a bit today on the shift to supporting Stein, and I had that thought: "What if they wake up to the reality of their dying party and nominate Sanders?" I know it's very unlikely to happen, but there still is a chance that they could do it. What becomes of Jill then?
