Weird laws 🤣
It’s Illegal to Remove a Bandage in Public
In Canada, removing a bandage in public could land you a fine due to hygiene concerns. This law, likely aimed at preventing the spread of infections, stands out as one of the weirdest laws in Canada. 🍁

Bill 9 is unscientific and immoral. It does nothing to protect children. It is only designed to hurt them by denying doctor supported life saving care.
Kill Bill 9, not our children.

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?
