Got a chance last night to finally sit down and watch the video of the debate that occured about Bill C-389 Monday.   I was struck by the wide divergengence in the support our Canadian trans cousins get in their national legislature from the GLB allies versus what we get on our side of the border.

First there was MP Bill Siksay, the sponsor of the bill eloquently handling his legislative business.   After the Conservative opposition legislator had their say with the usual right wing scare tactics that they got straight from the GOP here, MP Megan Leslie from Halifax began reading statements from various transpeople across Canada including one from Mercedes Allen to ensure our voices were heard in the debate raging in the House of Commons about trans rights.
