I have an agenda. I do. Don't call it a "hidden" agenda, because I don't bother to hide it. Whether it's an "evil" agenda is up to the beholder. And when I call it "my" agenda, it's because I know I can only speak for myself — although I'm sure that many others will share it.

On Dec 7, the Government of Canada will debate Bill C-389, a private member's bill put forward by New Democrat MP Bill Siksay. This bill proposes to add gender identity and gender expression to the list of protected classes in the Criminal Code of Canada and the Canada Human Rights Act.
