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.

It will die a slow death as BC and First Nations resist, oil markets decline and private investment fails to appear, but the blame will shift from the federal government. I don’t think it’s a particularly ennobling political calculation, but a lot of pigs will have to fly before this is real.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Also, any elector can initiate a recall, irrelevant of whether they vote. UCP wrote this law.

There is no low too low for a UCP MLA
IMO, they were chosen because they have no moral compass.
MLA's with a moral compass would NOT vote to use the Notwithstanding clause to squash our rights

PM Carney was asked when he last spoke to Trump: "Who cares. It's a detail. I'll speak to him again when it matters. I don't have a burning issue to speak with the president about right now. When America wants to come back and have the discussions on the trade side we will have those discussions." 👏🏽
