To be clear, passing this law means access to reproductive healthcare is now at risk. Strip away all the rhetoric and they used the NWC to withhold access to health care for these Reminder that abortion care and birth control access are both reproductive healthcare care.

I hope someone shows this to #ABGovt. If they really care about evidence-based care, this is clear.
Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

We have 49 deaths due to COVID in Alberta so far this season. Not this year; this season (so since last month). Not across Canada; in Alberta alone.

Why do I have a bad feeling that this is on the wish list for the UCP and the Notwithstanding Clause Blitz?
The UK is considering a policy that would effectively segregate trans people from society. It would bar trans people from "single sex spaces" even when they use the facility of their sex assigned at birth.
This is a full on policy of segregation without even the benefit of separate facilities.

Suddenly the dragging of their feet to find a permanent CMOH makes sense.
If the UCP is confident on the medical merits of its transgender bill, then we should hear from the CMOH on this ASAP to validate the urgency of using the notwithstanding clause, it's why you have a top doctor after all.

The Alberta Medical Association and disability advocacy groups are condemning this Bill because they see the writing on the wall. Their rights will be stripped too.

“My own experience prescribing puberty blockers has demonstrated enormous psycho-social benefits in youth who feel a quiet desperation watching their bodies change in ways they can’t control […] A puberty blocker provides them with a pause […] with no effects on fertility, and is 100% reversible.”
Opinion: As a physician, I see how gender-affirming care benefits youth
Alberta’s moves to restrict treatment are based in ignorance and misinformation

As Hoffman says, having a permanent CMOH would go a long way towards making vaccination campaigns effective. Still no one after a year?
Not to mention that a large part of the reason people are travelling “province to province” into Alberta is the “Alberta’s Calling” campaign her govt created.

At 2:58 minutes into "Hey Jude," you can hear Paul McCartney saying "fucking hell" after making a mistake on the piano.
The band thought it was funny, so they kept it in the song.

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

I know these things take time to do properly but I hope the people forming these recall petitions get the lead out. We’ve already seen the UCP change the law, putting a finger on the scale when it suits them. They WILL do it again.
@djclimenhaga.bsky.social: Trying to challenge the UCP government’s misuse of the Charter’s notorious notwithstanding clause may be a waste of time and money, but using the UCP’s ridiculous recall legislation as a strategy against the perpetrators is clearly rattling Premier Smith. #abpoli
