@AngryCanadianGamer @Kaysymmetry It is profoundly shocking.

But I want to add this: the voices that are speaking out now against this injustice are the ones we need to elevate.

The dismal "reasoning" behind this governmental decision (eg "it's just a legislative tool" and "other governments have done this") is being exposed.

It may not be enough; populist fear-mongering conspiracy theories may hold sway, at least for the time being. But ultimately we cannot allow hollow prejudice to prevail.
