I just posted something that applies to a couple of the points you mention. I see your point about the religious crazies flipping out on this stuff but isn't that where acceptance through education helps with change? There was a time when *GASP* black people couldn't sit at the front of...

Yes that's it. You've clearly made sense of all the confusion!! On a side note, this: https://www.facebook.com/notes/martina-groeneveld-emard/about-alberta-schools-and-the-guidelines-for-best-practices/10153242655762407

Yes, there will be people that abuse certain things, as there are with any rules or laws. The key thing will be for the many many more people whose lives will be improved with the new rules.

The point on this is people suggesting that it's "the gays" that will be the ones peeping over the stall, or that someone will only gender identify one way so they can peep...Which is ridiculous

Or maybe being considerate of other's feelings is a better approach? I'm not sure equally offending people is something to strive for?

Well, the LGBTQ community and some normal people are looking at things in life and asking "why do we have to have ladies and mens washrooms?" "Why do we need to have boys and girls toys?" "Why do I have to be a boy or a girl? Can't I just be human?" Others were born as boys but feel better and...

I believe the author of this meant that if you disagree with their lifestyle choices and don't agree that things are misrepresented then you can leave? Maybe it was badly expressed? "They" want to not live in fear. I think it's a fair thing to expect out of life.

Jarnhamar, I understand all your replies. The thing that gets me and I saw a post about on Facebook is a tweet that sums it up (and I have to paraphrase because I can't find it) "You've been sharing bathrooms with gays, transgendered people your whole life, you just didn't know it, this isn't...

Understood, but the term "study" can be fairly broad. I'd rather a student be allowed time to study in a comfortable environment that be forced to participate in an environment that they are bullied or don't feel safe in.

Or perhaps they mean credits for being a part of a junior roller derby team (or other sport team) and doing more physical activity in a week than you'd ever see in a school?

So the post I have is in response to the Facebook post that is going around by Ezra Levant but it touches on the subjects that I am seeing on posts here. "For my friends who continue to share the save our girls campaign. I want you to take a moment to actually read the legislation. More...

Stand by, when I get on my laptop, I will post a great rebuttal to this from one of LGBTQ friends as this hits hard with them. It's fear mongering and ignorance by many people.

As well, has the unit your joining given you "joining instructions"? This provides the details for where to report, when, who your course contact name is if something happens on the way, etc....

I still get told to watch my mouth when I visit my mother. The military changes people. Depending on the age of the person thre might be many "oh look, new things!". Coke, drug use? Not a good thing. Whether or not they are in a uniform you need to start getting them help. Think about the fact...

I know who you're talking about. Those guys that hang out like mall rats, dressed with their course t-shirts, or in the case of officers out at the pub, in their nice khaki slacks. Walking around Kingston they are easy to spot.

Wait.

Ah, it's the "criminal" side of the deal, no background or interviews for mental health that is the issue. So criminals can't buy guns legally but crazy people can?

Whoa. I thought it was the complete opposite in some states. My US Facebook friends must be in a different place than you are referring to.

Skipping any existence of military in Calgary.
