According to @ubyssey.ca, RCMP officers showed up at the office of UBC's student newspaper and requested the contact information of their sources to identify protesters
(The newspaper refused, which is good because it is wildly inappropriate for police to do this)

when you go on podcasts or tv shows and talk about the Trump administration, it would be *so great* if you didn’t boil down his actions surrounding the rights of trans people as actions surrounding “trans issues” (?!!)
