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...
This is why I would NEVER SEND MY BALLOT IN BY MAIL!!! HAND DELIVER ONLY!!
Good point... Mail in ballots should be eliminated. If you can’t show up to vote... Then don’t bother. They should make it harder to vote, not easier. ID’s should be required and in person voting only.
**We’re not as calculating that’s for sure.**
Plenty of opportunities. Trump knows. Taxes on tips, overtime, and SSI. Kinda reminds me of the Jarvis initiative. Prop 13.
My idea-10% of one’s pay goes into a Roth IRA-millenials under age 42. Gut the government. Force independence on Puerto Rico there and put statehood to rest. Restore the Hawaiian monarchy and remove statehood there.
“And for you ladies we have caftans, muumuus, and our own exclusive A-frame in all colors and patterns.”
Stout, Extra Stout and the new Hindenburg line!
We have miles and miles of fabric!
Mail and the media and the border as Biden and Harris has proved.
If a person’s genitals don’t confirm their “gender”, how does removing their genitals affirm it?
Gender-affirming surgery? Gimme break - it’s the sexual mutilation of children. Odd how ‘open minded liberals’ have a way on not accepting anyone’s ideas other than their own.
He should stop delivering bills that people cannot afford to pay.
In fact, only deliver mail that wifts of perfume. That mail is truly important.
I guess Kanada is different from Tulsa.
“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.”
This is someone’s idea of compromise?
Does it mean teachers and staff are forced to use the child’s chosen name and pronouns if the parents agree?
AMEN!!!
