I'm actively planning to move to a different province. Our premier has recently started regurgitating rhetoric extremely similar to what we can see down south, and our Conservative party has managed to claw back some rights which had been established for the safety and well-being of trans and non-binary kids had in school.
Saving up money and having an escape plan gives me a light at the end of the tunnel. I do feel some guilt for not trying to stay here and fight, but I'm not a fighter at heart. Yet it seems like I've been doing nothing but fighting. I'm tired.
(And I'll be honest, another way I deal is by consuming way too many drugs.)
Pls stay and help us take back the province.
People should prioritize their own safety and health (including mental, especially for a population with a high suicide rate) and that of their loved ones, imo, when it comes to these situations.
It’s just sad because it plays into the goals of these bigots. They want safe spaces where they don’t have to see/be around LGBTQ folks. Leaving these places is what they want.
