Really? Did I accidentally move to the US and not realize it?

WHAT. THE. F*CK. ???!!!??
If the Cons get a majority, if they even get a larger minority than they used to… I don’t know… I don’t even have words… this is just too f*cked up.
Now Canada is trying to defund Planned Parenthood? WHAT THE HELL CANADA, YOU’RE BETTER THAN THIS
I thought healthcare was a provincially organized service? Plus I looked up the Toronto Planned Parenthood, and it specifically states “receives funding from Toronto Central LHIN and The Government of Ontario,” although I’m sure it receives some federal funding too? Either way, this is fucked, speak with yo’ votes y’all.
From the couple of articles I’ve read, I don’t think this is Canadian Planned Parenthood, so it wouldn’t impact us directly - it’s more about the work PP does on the international level. Which is just as important, IMHO.
