I’m done blessing America. I’m moving on to Canada. It’s less needy and has better poutine.

At the World Relays in the spring, a reporter asked USA’s Noah Lyles if he saw Canada as a threat in the 4x100m in Paris. “Who? Who?” He laughed it off. With Lyles sidelined, the USA were disqualified today and Canada won gold.

A very important video. Albertans directly impacted by Danielle Smith’s misinformed policies targeting trans & gender-diverse youth share the facts about their lives & the realities of gender-affirming care. I encourage everyone to watch & share. #ableg
Let’s talk about the facts. Not conspiracies, not false myths spread on social media – facts. Danielle Smith’s policy targeting trans and gender-diverse youth is an attack on a vulnerable group of youth and on thousands of Albertans. It is a massive overstep into private health care decisions. And it is an attack on the fundamental education rights of kids in our province. But don’t take it from me: listen to the experts and allies in our video. Listen to the people with real, lived experiences. Share this video and information with your friends and help combat the misinformation being spread by the Alberta government. Sign our petition and tell Danielle Smith to stop pursuing these proposed changes. Tell her that Albertans believe all human rights must be protected. albertandpcaucus.ca/take-act… #ableg #alberta #transrightsarehumanrights

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is going to be releasing a “parental rights” policy this week. I’m incredibly worried about what this could mean for queer and trans youth. Get ready to get loud, Alberta. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #ableg #abed

Reducing the active transportation investment won’t get us very far, budget-wise. While $100 million is a big number, in context, it only accounts for 1.43% of the city’s $7.9 billion capital budget for 2023-2026. Check out or blog for more info! pathsforpeople.org/2023/11/t… #yegcc

If you're wondering what Mike Nickel is up to now, he's now the founder and CEO of "MAN FUND". No, this is not a joke. He named it that.

Context changes over time. Imagery that was once a celebration can transform into condemnation. Would we tell a story today that said: Look! This is what was done and let us never repeat it! See how they took the children? Yes. To me, the OG Grandin Mural does exactly that.

Messages from Alberta government officials posted to social media 20 minutes apart: CMOH Dr. Deena Hinshaw on Twitter: Getting vaccinated is a "smart choice" that protects us all. MLA Angela Pitt on FB: "Get your vaccine or not ... Do your research and do what's right for you."
