It’s “laudable” that B.C. is investing in its in-province gender-affirming care capacity, said Queer Momentum exec director

. At the same time, it’s “critical” the province doesn’t interrupt care or increase wait times, she added.

Almost immediately, the tragedy was pulled into the public domain and repackaged, writes municipal councillor Ken Matheson. Not to support the grieving or help a traumatized community heal, but to advance ideological positions and turn suffering into rage farming.
