all the negative shit that women deal with in their lives.

That's not a regret of the transition, that's a regret of losing privilege.

Also, the context of the regret is important because the regret might not be related to the *transition* more than it is about what happens afterwards.

For example, a trans woman may have regrets about the transition only because she now has to deal with... 🧡

Communism can work!

"Narendra Modi’s government is aggressively hostile to the communist-led left-wing alliance that holds power in Kerala because it has a remarkable track record of improving living standards for its people, unlike Modi and his Hindutva cronies."

Major Depressive Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder is my mental health issues, but I finally (3 years ago) got prescribed the right combo of meds so now they're being treated properly.

I hope you find a treatment that works :(

Graphic: "Email your MP to Protect the Right to Strike"

This Spring, MPs will debate my #BillC247 to repeal Section 107 and protect the right to strike.

This is our chance to tell the Liberal government: enough with the unconstitutional strike breaking.

Click here to tell your MP to vote YES to Bill C-247πŸ‘‡

In other words, voters may choose individuals, but they choose individuals because of the values they claim to represent. Floor crossing doesn’t just change a label; it breaks the relationship of trust built on those values.

Switching parties mid-term isn’t just a personal career moveβ€”it’s abandoning the mandate voters believed they were supporting when they cast their ballots.

So when someone crosses the floor after being elected, the issue isn’t that voters supposedly chose the wrong person. The issue is that the person voters chose represented themselves as part of a specific political movement with a specific set of values.

That party label isn’t incidental. It’s a shorthand that helps voters understand what the candidate believes and how they’re likely to act in office.

When a candidate runs under a party banner, they are telling voters: these are the principles I stand with, these are the policies I will support, and this is the political project I am part of.

Yes, voters choose a person. But they choose a person who has publicly aligned themselves with a particular set of values, priorities, and policy commitments. In Canada, those values are almost always signaled through party affiliation.

The claim that β€œpeople vote for the person, not the party” sounds appealing on the surface, but it doesn’t really hold up when you look at how people actually make their voting decisions.

Someone on Facebook argued that floor crossing isn’t an issue because people in Canada don’t vote for the party, they vote for the person.

There is something so wrong with this government and her, who allowed Inuit to be held hostage and starving until she crossed the floor. I could care less what she has to say she could have been a whistle blower instead if a boot licker.
