A scale and a legend would have been pretty helpful, and a specific criteria as well, because we don’t have the info on what was used to measure how supportive or not a province is

Supporting statements are needed here. At least 5 each for Alberta, Saskatchewan, and, importantly, New Brunswick.

Then, at least 1 official statement from each Premier, dated later than 2018.

Minimum 25 sources. Joint statements can count twice.

Alberta bad

This is a bit of a TIL for me. Alberta and Saskatchewan, obvious. I didn't know that NB had an active anti-trans policy in effect.

NB being anti non-binary is like some sick joke, you had one job.

Students under 16 who are questioning their gender identity must get their parents' consent before teachers can use their preferred first names or pronouns at school.

Yeah, we know, you guys have fewer red states than we do. No need to rub it in.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes but... not the way you presumably meant.

If there's not a correlation between the two I'll be extremely surprised.

The majority of provinces right now are lead by Conservative governments, the Federal government is Liberal. But we use blue for Conservatives and red for Liberals on our political maps/branding.

Your version of Florida looks funny...

What makes Alberta the most unfriendly? Like, I wouldn't be surprised, but I don't recall any major differences between the recent legislation in any of those three provinces.

Why is QC and ON lighter than, say, MB?

[François Legault] says his government will form a committee of experts to look into issues surrounding gender identity. He said he understands the concerns on both sides of the issue ...

[...] Dough Ford and Education Minister Stephen Lecce for suggesting that public educators are trying to “indoctrinate” kids who decide to use different pronouns.

Yuck, thanks for the sources!

Because they have conservative premiers.

Checks out.
