I agree things are getting worse, more people are embracing identity politics and we're seeing the same type of trends but on a much smaller scale, and not only 'cause we're 10 percent the size as our neighbors, but our history is also different.
I was at my buddy's house the other day, an older working-class guy, and he'd never even heard of Bill C-16. We start talking politics, and he says Wynne is out because she sold Hydro, a no-brainer. Then he says Ford is out because he's anti-union. The only party left is the NDP. Do you think this guy gives a damn about a man trying to get waxed at a spa? He does not.
Anyway, time will tell where we go from here, but I am optimistic. This very lawsuit could be telling, or more than likey, the bill was only ever meant to pander to transfolk.
