Is Alberta really ‘following the science’ on trans healthcare? As Alberta shields its ban on youth gender-affirming care from legal challenge, new research raises urgent questions about the real-world consequences of restricting access.

This is a good article with a cowardly headline. But if you know people who have been swayed by Smith’s bullshit, this would be a good article to share.

All of us are a mess of contradictions, of course...but I wonder how Liberals whose identity is wrapped up in ostensible concern for social justice are justifying themselves in the era of Carney's rampant militarism, massive austerity, welcome for bigots in caucus, and retreat from climate action.

Meanwhile cities like #HamOnt dedicate 0.1% of their annual budgets to reducing emissions.

These stories keep coming- we need political leadership to reign in big tech… Provinces are courting technofeudalism and begging for data center construction when they should be legislating boundaries to protect public health and safety.

Hamilton must not wait for another hate-fuelled atrocity to respond What we are facing is not a lack of awareness. It is a lack of co-ordination, resourcing and political will.
