Overnight, past 2 a.m., the Alberta United Conservative Party passed Bill 9, a bill to **strip away the right to life of trans youth** in order to impose on them a gender-affirming care ban.

Last night, the Government of Alberta passed legislation to suspend the charter-protected rights of trans youth. Today, transgender young people in Alberta are waking up with fewer rights than their peers.

Premier Danielle Smith is a coward, a bully and a hypocrite. Stripping kids of rights and denying them their day in court isn't leadership, it's cowardice.
Sure, she's able to suspend their rights. That doesn't mean she should. My latest 👇🏻👇🏻

Only cowardly politicians override charter rights before the courts can decide
Invoking the notwithstanding clause before a court can make a ruling is cowardly, politically motivated and a dangerous precedent.

As expected, Alberta UCP members passed a policy resolution at their AGM this weekend calling on the government to ban Pride flags from public property.
Now we'll have to wait and see if Danielle Smith's government takes that and tries to make it law.

Just participated in a phone zap with @momentumcanada.net to call our reps in Alberta and voice our disapproval of Bill 9 (and thank the MLAs who actually are opposed to it). It was very touching to see people admit they were nervous/anxious but did it anyway. These kids are worth it and more.

Substitute out “gender affirming care” with cancer care.
Or congenital organ defect repair.
Or mental health care.
This isn’t about providing fully informed consequence free care, because that simply doesn’t exist.
It’s about believing trans kids shouldn’t exist.

You cannot recognize a day of mourning when your government’s anti-trans discriminatory legislation is causing the incredible harm.
