Don Plett will stoop to anything to derail efforts to protect trans people.

@bug @bug I think part of that is that our existing human rights framework was pretty solid. Still, this was something like the third or fourth attempt to get a bill like this passed. The House of Commons kept voting for them, but the Senate leadership always found a way to amend them in some horrible way or just delay things until an election was called
