We are moving Canada toward an end to genetic discrimination! Huntington Di=
sease was one of the first diseases to have a genetic test available but to=
day, 1500+ conditions are testable - nobody has perfect genes. There are no=
 protections to preserve genetic fairness for Canadians yet.  Show us your =
jeans if you're proud of your genes!
