Well said, OP. So glad to see a backlash against alt-right social wedge issues spreading broadly across Canada (and maybe the US if special election results can be trusted).
There was a larger turn out at most counter protest against the anti-SOGI bigots a couple weeks ago.
Hopefully, we don't see any backsliding federally with Trudeau's personal lack of popularity giving any inroads to Christofascists in the CPC.
We need to get Millennials and Zoomers to vote. We outnumber the Boomers, finally, so let's show up at the polls and move the country in a more progressive direction!
It's hard to be optimistic here. I'd like to be. They don't even need to court the christofascists right now. That protest seemed to be rather integrated with the PPC, so maybe they still have enough steam to split the right vote a bit.
