Right-Wing Trolls Are Freaking Out After Learning They Can Get Sued For Calling People 'Groomers' On The Internet ( pressprogress.ca )

Other right-wing accounts variously reacted by describing the move as Orwellian, lamenting the death of free speech and even contemplating leaving Canada for good.

Oh no. Not that. Please no.

<Tee hee!>

even contemplating leaving Canada for good.

Hello, yes, LGBT person stuck in Texas here. Can I have their house please? I don't really like the cold, but if it means I don't have to feel scared about coming out of the closet then I could deal with it.

My comrad in crisis, no one in Canada can afford houses anymore. High chance they are just impoverished renters.

2/3 of Canadians own their own homes.

Still more empty homes than homeless.

Not the quoted person but a quick research:

Apparently around 1.3 million homes were vacant in Canada (2021 data)

I couldn't find anything more recent.

"[...]it is estimated that an average of 235,000 people in Canada experience one of the many types of homelessness each year."

See I didn't respond because I knew this is exactly what you were going to do. It's always the same debate pervert internet sophistry.

Nobody ever asks for a source because they're intellectually curious, it's always just "this right wing source disagrees with your facts"
