Please contact your Member of Parliament(opens in a new tab) and/or your provincial leaders. Ask them to safeguard and affirm existing legislation. This is a call for solidarity and action. Polarization and attempts to roll back rights and protections of 2SLGBTQIA+ peoples should be met with concerted resistance by all.
