    No. Fck you. I will not remain civil while Conservative politicians keep attempting and succeeding in taking away our rights.

    Some ideas can be discussed civilly, such as taxes, corporate regulations or approaches to climate change, but when one side has operated in bad faith for so long, civility is out the door.

      Conservatives want at me and one of my family members out of Canadian society. Until they change their position they don’t deserve civility.

        Again, people like you intentionally mischaracterize gender affirming care for children. The standard care is therapy and social transition wayyyyyy before hormones and surgery. If a child asserts they are trans before puberty, a doctor may prescribe puberty blockers. For the most part, they are reversible. 12 year olds are not having sex reassignment surgery.

        The fact you went straight to rhetoric about reconstructive surgery and hormone therapy proves you are not a moderate, you just tell yourself that to make yourself feel better. You can get fckd until you stop marginalizng, exploiting for politics and attacking a group of people you know nothing about.

    We do pay a huge price by sacrificing civility.

    Is that price higher than the cost of civility, though? One angry group consistently shows up at the voting booth. If having progressives stressed and angry is the price to pay for their voter turnout, please continue with the rage bait.
