Reprehensible actions by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith using a tool that allows her govt the ability to override sections of the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms to enact blatantly discriminatory & dangerous laws that, among other actions, limit healthcare options for trans youth.

This Thursday Nov 20 I’ll be at Cafe Zuzu’s Holigay Party in Regent Park, which includes a bunch of queer artists (me!), drag, music and maybe even prizes I think? Anyway you should come. It’s free but you can register a spot.

So glad to see City Council allow corner stores & retail in residential areas at least in the downtown and surrounding n’hoods. Better than nothing. Also…*whispers* maybe not every policy has to be conceived of for citywide? Maybe community councils should be more empowered to decide policy?

So many Torontonians love to praise cities they travel to (the plazas! the food culture! the joie de fucking vivre!) and then fight tooth & nail against the things that would enable them to happen here.

Another maddening move by Doug Ford meddling in Toronto where his govt has quietly killed the city's 15 year old green roof bylaw—an industry-leading bylaw that has been copied in cities around the world & helps reduce stormwater runoff & building energy use/costs, as per @thestar.com.
