@DavidM_yeg<\/a> @Paulatics<\/a> <\/p>

I'm constantly struck by how the same logic seems to permeate the cruelties of the Conservatives in all their incarnations. Abortions, for example. Make abortions fundamentally illegal except in cases where the exceptions can never be met in a timely fashion -- and then eliminate childcare provisions (on 'ideological grounds'!), healthcare and the like for children.<\/p>

Or housing -- allow the private corporations and 'investor' class to buy up all the housing within a region in order to inflate the price, and then rather than assist with public housing, criminalize homelessness and destroy the property of the unhoused at every opportunity.<\/p>

In each case, blame the victim - the disabled, the homeless, the pregnant, claiming that their suffering is a moral failing on their part. And in each case, highlight supposed edge cases which really don't exist as an example of what 'harm' helping these people could cause, be it the hypothetical Einstein or the theoretical person who intentionally becomes unhoused in order to take advantage of the largesse -- or as noted, supposed children who might be killed under MAID.
