New Democrats are pushing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to publicly condemn Donald Trump's move to bar transgender individuals from serving in the U.S. military, a decision the party's defence critic says is based on "ignorance and hate."

"Prime Minister Trudeau must denounce this policy immediately in order to demonstrate that Canada not only respects human rights but that we will stand up against discrimination, even when the source is our closest neighbour and strongest ally," Randall Garrison said in a statement Wednesday.

Garrison, who also serves as the NDP critic for LGBTQ issues, said the Trump administration is using hate to target one group of citizens.

"We have seen this sort of state-sponsored discrimination too many times before. It is wrong and must be called out," he said.

Garrison said in the release that such a ban would only weaken military cohesion.

"Transgender people who are currently in the military and those who wish to serve are, in many ways, the bravest of the brave."

Garrison urged Trudeau to speak out against the "despicable directive" and explore how Canada can open its doors "to any Trans American who wishes to leave this discrimination behind them."(continued)

Attention Canadian officials:the fact that we spend hundreds of billions each year to protect North America from attack is why you can avoid spending much at all to protect your huge land area.

Be grateful for the US Armed Forces...you don't know how important they are to *you*!

explore how Canada can open its doors "to any Trans American who wishes to leave this discrimination behind them."

Now that is winning.

General Washington executed homosexuals for their infamous crimes.

Trump would have been arrested if he had announced the trans ban while visiting in the People’s Republic of Canada.

Howabout we transfer all our mentally ill troops to the Canadian army?

The mentally ill get to have their fantasies paid for by someone else, and Canada gets to look "inclusive".

Win-win!

My grandfather was a combat engineer that at age 19 hit Omaha Beach during the end of the first amphibious assault wave. He was a hero, these people and their enablers are mentally ill freaks.

[Sasparilla]

.....It’s only hate when Trump does it.

None of the 44 Presidents before Trump allowed trannies to openly serve in the military....

The rules are always applied differently to President DJT.
Liberals are such SOB’s.

“NDP Calls On Trudeau To Condemn Trump’s ‘Despicable’ Trans Military Ban”

Maybe Trump should “condemn” Trudeau for *supporting* a “despicable” Trans military. I’m so tired of this sanctimonious garbage. What ever happened to “I disagree;
here’s why”?

[ColdOne]

One more thing....how many mentally ill trans are in Canada’s military? Yes Canada is too far gone. They just filled hate crime charges to someone who told the truth about muzzies.

[Uncle Sam 911]

No demand they condemn the upcoming death of Charlie Gard. Who gives a damn what the NPD does? Or Trudeau?

[Parley Baer]

Send them all to Canada.

[gibsonguy]

This twerp might actually do it.

[JudgemAll]

What are they going to do? Time to stop feeling like satisfying these rapists wanna be.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Gee, Canada wanting to interfere in our political system

INVESTIGATE !!

[HLPhat]

>>Is Canada too far gone?

Been gone for a while.

Pastors haven't been allowed to read "offensive" scripture for years.

Always interesting to see how quickly the Poodle Zombies will reveal themselves when a little light gets cast into their safe zones.

The Canadian police would have had to get past the Secret Service.

[Lurking Libertarian]

Democrats calling on foreigners to condemn our president. Only RATs can be expected to do that.

The NDP is a Canadian political party. Nothing to do with the Democratic Party in the U.S.

There was a time in which the NDP (originally known as the Commonwealth Cooperative Federation or CCF) represented farmers and factory workers. You might not have agreed with a great deal of their socialist ideals, but many tended to have a great deal of down to earth, common sense views on many things. Nowadays, they issue something like this concerning people who have issues about what bathroom or change room to use.
