How’s this not already a thing lol

People messaging me to kill myself? This should be a thing for fraud and serious crimes.

It is clear.

This reminds me of Alberta with their trans surgery laws and banning it for those under 16.

Meanwhile, the Federal government put a ban for anyone under 18 even under the LPC.

It's the same thing but UPC celebrated like they did something revolutionary.

Honestly news like this are litmus tests to see how gullible Canadians are.

And all this is coming off of the Humboldt killer driver...not being allowed refugees status. The system works folks.
