Progressive politics was a very important part of our history, it lead to where we are at now, where you can basically live your life how you choose. If you are a career woman, homosexual, trans, a visible minority, whatever the case, progressivism has broken down most of the barriers you would have faced say 50 years ago. I will admit it’s not perfect, but we’re human, it never will be. Prejudice will always exist, and all we can do is to teach younger generations to be better. In Canada I think the only area we still need to work on is Indigenous issues, as the Indian Act is still alive and well, so our native communities still do not have autonomy from the federal government. So while this movement was very important, the question is, has it become as toxic as the religious fundamentalist views it was created to fight?
