Several outlets are reporting Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith are going to sign a deal this week that includes a path to a northwest B.C. oil pipeline.
But why would Carney reward Smith with this gift just days after her nuclear attack on trans kids' lives?

Before I even clicked the video to see the context in which Carney responded “who cares” to a reporter asking when he last spoke with Trump, I knew it would a female reporter who asked the question.
Why? Because Carney is consistently more short with and rude to female reporters.
Sure enough:

There need to be social consequences for enacting anti-evidence policies that kill kids.
One of Danielle Smith’s staffers just called me over (??) at an event wanting to say hi.
Once I realized who she was, immediately questioned her about trans rights.

Guys I just visited the house my Grandpa partially built that my mom lived in for the first 12 years of her life here in Edmonton 😭😭😭
The owners were so kind, they let me in and showed me around while I FaceTimed my mom.
So much of the original house, stuff my grandpa did, was still there 🥹

Of course not. You have friends. So why would you?

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I particularly want to stress that the violence we talk about trans people experiencing isn't just murder or domestic abuse or assault.
There is also legislative violence—far too much of it. And we lose lives to that every year too.

The Alberta government putting out a statement for Trans Day of Remembrance two days after using the Notwithstanding Clause to override trans kids rights feels like parody at this point
"Our government remains a dedicated partner of transgender Albertans.”

@melwoods.me: We must not overcomplicate what’s going on here.
This is the Alberta government saying the rights of trans kids to receive life-saving health care, go by their own pronouns at school or play on sport teams don’t matter as much as the Smith government’s right to dictate their lives.

Don't send him any more money, for now.
Send it to fellow candidate @votetanille.bsky.social until she raises enough to survive the next cut off.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I hope Albertans will remember that trans kids and teens are living breathing humans who just want to be themselves, without fear of hate and discrimination. Demonizing kids merely to score political points in some weird culture war is craven and cruel.

Alberta's government is engaged in something I can only describe as psychopathic politics.
What else do you call it when a government so set on pushing ahead with policies that WILL cause more trans youth to try to leave us?
When they'll trample on the charter to hurt these kids?
It's disturbing:
