Something I have to reiterate is that you are being straight up lied to about trans people and our healthcare on an unfathomable scale, this instance reporting is already being torn to shreds by other people commenting, but the frequency of this kind of reporting is astonishing, it's neverending.
You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.

“It is no exaggeration to say that the passing of Bill 11 through the Alberta legislature is the biggest threat to our single-payer, universal Medicare system that we’ve ever seen. Not just for Albertans, but for all Canadians,” said Chris Gallaway executive director of Friends of Medicare.

sigh... we will do backflips to blame everyone and everything EXCEPT blaming municipalities for intentional, long standing policies that limit supply.
We have a supply problem. Not an immigration problem. Not a bank problem. Not a federal government problem. We don't have enough supply.

The #YQL myride site (trip planner) prioritizes short transfer windows over pretty much anything else.
Which means it routinely recommends trips that are utterly impossible barring celestial intervention.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

As an FYI, if a game on Steam is on sale, and you already own some of the games in that series, check the bundles of the game.
Due to the way bundles/discounts work, I got the game, DLC, and the other DLC I was missing for less than the discounted price of the first game by buying the bundle.
