Liberal MP Dr.Hedy Fry and NDP MP Randall Peterson just introduced Bills C-276 and C-279 a few days ago in the Conservative majority dominated Parliament.
Why did they do so? Because it's clear that the Great White North and the trans people who live inside its borders need that human rights coverage.
A blatant case of anti-trans discrimination has blown up and become international news centered on the Trail's End Farmers Market in London, ON.
On September 10 Karen Clarke, the cis female owner and proprietor of True 2 You of London, a business that sells candles, oils, air fresheners and incense was called by the manager of the farmer's market and told she could not set up a booth in their 'family friendly' facility the next week if she planned on having a trans person running it.
