http://dentedbluemercedes.wordpress.com/2010/11/17/support-for-trans-rights-bill-c-389-starts-to-come-in/Canada's Trans Rights Bill C-389 is expected to come up for Third Reading in December. Keep the Quick Facts handy, because Charles McVety is trying to push the bathroom predator scare tactic into the mainstream media. Fortunately, some papers recognize that this isn't a whole lot different than the arguments used to justify racial segregation in washrooms in the south decades earlier or the panic raised in the early days of HIV, so it might not be given the same kind of airplay that it gets in the US.
In the meantime, Bill C-389 is receiving more positive support. The Public Service Alliance of Canada has expressed its support and set up a web form through which people can contact their Member of Parliament if they haven't already.
