When progressive is regressive...
The following is a list of anti-choice and or anti-gay marriage Liberals in this campaign. The list is compiled from the Campaign Life Coalition voters guide. The incumbent Liberals are in red...

Isn't this the same dude that eMay endorsed, and that Cherniak works for?

ReplyDeleteCherniak does in fact work for Wilfert as Riding president Wilfert voted against gay marriage.
Thats the best about being a liberal. You can have any position you want on Human Rights.
I posted earlier today about a Liberal candidate in Vancouver Kingsway that says its none of our business if the Chinese kill Falun Gong members or throw them in jail.
Holy crap. I had no idea it was so many. Especially the "in any case except for life of the mother."
ReplyDeleteThat is not a complete list. Its too long as it is for a so called progressive party
