The Alberta government introduced three new bills on Thursday aimed at controlling minors’ ability to undergo certain gender-affirming healthcare procedures, choose their name and pronouns at school, and participate in sports.

    It is terrifying that this is happening in our country, and that our likely next prime minister supports it.

      I mean it’s alberta nothing they do was ever sane they also want to stop considering CO2 as a polluant and recognize that CO2 is a foundational nutrient for all life on Earth that we should not keep track of in any way.

      They are batshit crazy basically Florida without the alligator.

        As someone who lives in Alberta, please don’t just dismiss this as “they’re bat shit crazy”… I mean like yea, half my neighbours ARE bat shit crazy supporters of this shit.

        But they’re also loud voices, and too many people outside of Alberta are starting to listen to the crazy and agreeing.

        The educated voices here need your help to shut this shit down now or we’re going to see this cancer spread.

        Please point out to your friends and colleagues just how terrible this thinking is while they’ll still listen. Or the next prime minister will be someone who thinks the same way.

      I’m starting to have an idea of how progressives are feeling in red states. I think all we can do is focus on how we can help (in my case, other) queer folks near us.
