Alberta renters have it bad. Part of the reason is the dismal amount of non-market housing options available in this province.

Alberta renters don’t need more ‘supply’ — they need non-market housing options
Governments keep chasing the market while community housing providers quietly deliver stable, affordable homes that won’t disappear when profits rise

furthermore, puberty blockers have decades of safety data in young children, and are near identical to the body's own GnRH peptide (as opposed to a synthetic small molecule of some kind)
...it's *easy* to imagine how horrific it might be if you, or perhaps your child, were forced to endure an unwanted puberty, one that contradicts your fundamental understanding of yourself. if you can't apply this to trans kids' realities you're a f-ing monster juliaserano.medium.com/the-cass-rev...

Around 260 people spoke against Vancouver city council’s plan to carry out the “Downtown Eastside Implementation Strategy” motion, which reduces social housing in new buildings.
Despite that strong opposition, council passed the new plan on Tuesday evening.

Watching a party of two wage an internecine war - it's a war so miniature and condensed it's just hilarious

okay, you can keep the notwithstanding clause i guess, but there should be a rule that if you have to use it three times, there will be an immediate election called
if you gotta use the notwithstanding clause, you’re not doing the will of the people

Worse, they did this without advance notice to many people waiting to speak to them about their ridiculous plan to turn the DEOD area into towers and to gut existing (and weak) protections for the city's most impoverished residents. Just cleared the room to go party.

The NWC has been a ticking timebomb in the Canadian constitution, and it's going off.
This is, far and way, the #1 thing I'm worried about with Canada moving forward; I don't see an easy way out of this for the country if conservative Premiers jam the NWC button every time they attack trans people.
