New Brunswickers have to be 18 or older to undergo gender-affirming surgery
A Canada Post worker says she was suspended after refusing to deliver flyers that compare gender-affirming medical care to child mutilation.
The flyer from Campaign Life Coalition, an anti-abortion group based in Hamilton, Ont., calls for a ban on "child sex-change."
Shannon Aitchison said she is the mother of a transgender adult and given that gender-affirming surgery is only available to people aged 18 and above, believes the wording of the flyers is harmful and discriminatory against transgender people.
"It's misinformation. It is lies and misinformation being presented as truth," she said.
This is the third flyer sent by the group since August. The first two were in support of the Blaine Higgs government's changes to Policy 713, requiring parental consent before school staff can use a child under the age of 16's chosen name and pronouns.
Higgs's campaign manager, Steve Outhouse, has previously said the Progressive Conservatives have "no involvement with this flyer or the actions" of the group.
The most recent flyer calls for banning gender-affirming health care for youth.
Gender-affirming surgeries are available for those over 18 years of age in New Brunswick.
Gender-affirming treatment can be given earlier with parental permission. Medical professionals may grant exceptions for older teens who are deemed mature enough to make the decision.
The flyer says, "No child is 'born in the wrong body. God doesn't make mistakes."
Aitchison said she's delivered mail in the past that she personally didn't agree with, but the flyer goes a step further.
"This is the first time I have ever drawn a line in the sand and said … I will not be party to delivering propaganda," she said.
A lawyer for Campaign Life Coalition sent a letter to Canada Post in late August, stating that any limitation of the group's flyers would be an infringement of its freedom of expression guaranteed under the Charter.
"The flyers … do not bear any illegal or prohibited messages, characteristics or markings. They do not contain sexually explicit material. The flyers contain no graphic images, obscenity, or hateful expression," the letter said. "The flyers merely make a comment on a policy enacted in the Province of New Brunswick. As such, they constitute political expression which lies at the core of the constitutional guarantee of free expression."
Campaign Life Coalition has registered as a third-party advertiser in the provincial election that's now underway...
She should be fired... You deliver the mail... What it contains isn't your business. Delivery it... Period!
Knowing Canada’s current government she was suspended with pay. And will be reinstated soon...with no problem.
So... is the mail system now a platform and can they be sued for delivering offensive messages? /s...?
But know that child mutilators think it's propaganda to speak against mutilation surgery just as normal people think it's propaganda to speak for it.
“It’s misinformation. It is lies and misinformation being presented as truth,” she said.
That’s just a bullshit excuse from what is no doubt once again an idiot liberal.
And the apolitical postal service is supposed to honestly pick up mail in ballots and deliver them to the proper authorities????
Back in the day, we had a list of all the registered Republicans for canvassing purposes. Such lists can be used by the PO
The late Lyn Nofziger once wrote that his absentee ballot arrived a day late(election was over). The carrier knew who he was. So the solution is this: No reference to the GOP on any mail correspondence. Are we that smart? I don’t think so.
Do trans women in Canada even have periods?
Deeeeep thoughts. By Jack Handy
100%
Deluded, mutilated men don't have periods. They don't have ovaries, fallopian tubes, uteruses, vaginas, or vulvas.
I am informed that in some cases the nasty unhealed knife wound between their legs will bleed ... but that's not having a period.
>> Are we that smart?
We’re not as calculating that’s for sure.
There was an old magazine cartoon of a postal employee at the sorting table, looking like Sam Drucker in the general store on Green Acres. He was raising his eyebrows reading a post card from someone.
Today the heavily Dem voting employees watch for return addresses of conservative or Trump places and remember them when the same people get mail-in ballots or try to send them.
“The guy who gets New American.” “The woman who gets the Trump mail all the time.”
And the community service will be handing out marxist propaganda flyers saying Justin Castro is the savior of Canada
Too many people got their mail! Close to 80%!!!
Nobody’s ever broken the 50% barrier!!!
