The stories we tell matter. I know this not from watching but from memory. I was just a child, held behind barbed wire in a U.S. internment camp, when an atomic bomb obliterated Hiroshima—killing members of my family.

A president and his lackeys who are unchecked by law will not be bound by any agreement or contract when they think they can get a better deal by breaking it.

My problem with Smith's transgender care ban
I may not understand what kind of care transgender people need
or what it is to be transgender
But...
I know that I don't want any politician, of any party, dictating my healthcare based on their ideology
Healthcare is between a doctor & their patient

The energy provisions in the Republicans' One Big Horrible Bill are truly so bad! Who wants this? The country's automakers don't want it. Electric utilities don't want it. Data center developers don't want it. Manufacturers in energy intensive industries don't want it. 🔌💡

It makes sense that the UCP has taken its own platform off its website. They're not following it anymore, deferring instead to red state Republican playbooks.
Book bans are only the most recent in a series of ideas they've adopted to Americanize Alberta.
