And Alberta didn't even hold off on using the notwithstanding clause to attack trans people before the MOU was publicly announced.

I hope I'm wrong, but to me this effectively confirms that the federal government won't do anything to protect trans people in hostile provinces.
So the PM intended to inform B.C.'s premier once the negotiations with Alberta have been finalized?

Nation-building promised, sausage-making delivered.

Regardless of whether this pipeline will ever be built, the process itself is profoundly damaging.

Vancouver's 2026 draft budget has PASSED.

Approved on a 7-4 vote on party lines, with ABC in favour and councillors Fry/Bligh/Orr/Maloney opposed.

Property tax freeze, $50 million more for VPD, and cuts to Arts, Culture, Planning and Sustainability departments, among others.

Full story to come.

"Safeguarding the health and well-being of children" by literally denying them their right to life.

This is the most Orwellian bullshit ever.

Finally had a moment to profile the inimitable Rebecca Heineman, aka Burger Becky (1963–2025). In addition to developing and porting many great games, Heineman helped so many young trans programmers and developers with their careers. A truly selfless person!

The amendment passes!

Staff will be asked to prioritize replacement of vandalized baby-change tables with more resilient materials, or putting them in more secure areas in the same facility.

ABC councillors keep throwing the deputy city manager who raised this under the bus, which is amusing.

ABC councillors saying that it's "unfortunate" people are linking closed baby change tables as being political, or part of the budget.

But it was a deputy city manager that explicitly raised removing them from high vandalism areas as part of cutting the budget for maintenance of civic facilities.

An amendment by Lisa Dominato asks staff to prioritize the replacement of vandalized baby-change tables.

Ironically, during her amendment a baby in the council chambers began babbling very loudly.

No doubt they were trying to shout "point of order!" with a further amendment to the amendment.

Blue states are still v-coding trans women in prison.
While Maryland Gov. Moore posted about Trans Day of Rememberance, his state was torturing a trans woman by denying her hormones and housing her with men--according to her lawyer--for 2 months.

All of this for "hate crime" charges from alleged vandalism of a trans symbol near a Catholic school.

“The decision to override Charter rights fails this test.”

The Anglican, Lutheran and United Churches in Alberta have written to Danielle Smith condemning her use of the notwithstanding clause to punch down on the vulnerable Albertans.

Shame on this BC NDP government for going against the democratic will of the people. Shame on them for introducing such horribly thought out legislation and then refusing to rectify the harm it causes, once they were made aware of it.

Despite BC NDP members passing a resolution calling on the government to repeal the Name Change Ban, David Eby and Mike Farnworth say “no.”

Shame on them.

Tobacco giants knew their products caused cancer.

Oil companies knew their products cause climate change.

Social media companies know their products facilitate abuse of minors

Seeing a pattern? It’s not a few bad actors it’s a feature of a system that rewards profit at any cost
Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything.

Tonight at 8!

The UCP are trying to erode trust in the courts by calling judges "appointed activists", lying about rulings & by invoking the notwithstanding clause to get around legal judgement on 4 bad laws.

Lawyer Will Van Engen helps us sort it all out!

“Meta stalled internal efforts to prevent child predators from contacting minors for years due to growth concerns, and pressured safety staff to circulate arguments justifying its decision not to act.”
