Oh certainly, but every time they say it again I get a fresh example to use against gaslighting conservatives.
The fact that PP is so strongly antitrans and that hasn’t disqualified them as a candidate is deeply disappointing… Canada is a country that should be at the front of the pack in terms of human rights.
We should be at the front of the pack because we can be. We’re not blameless (see residential schools or the treatment of Italians in WW2) but we’re not the world police, we have an immense amount of global clout, we have a stable democracy… and we can. Canada is much more a shining city on a hill than America ever was.
Also, if you want to be cynical, by being a leader in human rights we thrive economically as we attract cultural refugees fleeing sexual orientation repression, gun culture, the caste system, and stupid abortion laws. People want to live somewhere they can be themselves.

Polls these days aren’t necessarily that accurate (though they can skew things when they get used in media so much and people believe they are).
I wish it were, but why should Canada be at the front of the pack in human rights?
