At the Alberta Legislature this morning to bear witness. #ableg #abpoli #TransRightsAreHumanRights #ProtectTransKids #yeg #Edmonton

First they came for trams rights. Now they come for women’s bodily autonomy. Then they claim only Danielle Smith and elected members know the law and use the notwithstanding clause. All while overseeing the arguably the most corrupt gov’t in #ABpoli history.

Dear ambassador: May I remind you that it was your President who started this tariff war? The same guy who thinks Canada should be the 51st state, right? Oh, and while we're on the topic of "foreign interference", let's look at US funding of anti-Canada groups ... www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

So Dani’s right hand man just publicly admitted that he doesn’t actually know how puberty blockers work. But with his full chest he’s braying as if he does. This is the perfect encapsulation of the problem. (Braying wasn’t a typo BTW) #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Regarding #Alberta #Bill9 - understand one thing: If they can strip trans people of rights, and access to medical care, at a whim, the #UCP can and will strip you of your rights when it suits them. Get Angry, Alberta. #abpoli

So, let me get this straight: Wicked Smith of the West and her minions are a-okay with pedophiles, fascists, trampling rights invoking the NWC, but not a very small, harmless population (.01%) of trans folk making private, personal decisions with their families and medical teams? #AbLeg #AbPoli

As Smith and the UCP prepare to use the Notwithstanding clause against vulnerable youth today, I'm thinking of this poem Eventually she will come for you and me It's only a matter of time, IMO Sign the recalls Sign the referendums Stand together Break her power #ableg #abpoli

1/8 🇨🇦 "PRIVACY VIOLATED, EQUITY ERODED, AUTONOMY REVOKED" 🇨🇦 Lee #Easton (President of the Confederation of Alberta Faculty Associations) blasts the UCP's #Bill29, the "Fairness and Safety in Sport Act." It's an attack on young women, forcing them to prove #gender to play sports. #AbLeg #AbPoli

1/🧵As mom to a trans kid in Alberta I am seeing the awareness grow that the notwithstanding clause is coming for our kids. I’m grateful to those who genuienely care, and some have asked me what they can do to help. I can only speak for myself but here are my thoughts. #abpoli

The UCP are once again attacking rights - rights guaranteed under the Charter. Remember, this is Smith telling us who _SHE_ deems worthy of rights and protection under the law. She's willing to throw anybody who challenges her power under the bus. When does she come for you? #abpoli #ableg

When caucus rooms become locker rooms, we shouldn't be surprised at what emerges. theconversation.com/team-work-an...

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... “Another speaker said the Männerbund formations must be based on principles that are “ethnically exclusive.”” Don’t get complacent Canada. We have Nazi fascists and Evangelical White Supremacists (Christo-fascists) here in Canada too Fight them every step of the way.

Okay Alberta, another warning. #SpankyMcAllister and #DanielleSmith keep saying the quiet part out loud. They don't like evidence or science - just conspiracy theories. The #UCP is bad for your health. There was a time people would lose their job over abuse or statements like this. #ABleg #ABpoli

“It was never meant to be used for the benefit of the government itself, only for the benefit of citizens (the public).” - David King, former Alberta Minister of Education calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

A buried mention in this article is this affects what will be Bill 9 - which I expect is the UCP invoking S33 to reinforce their attacks on transgender people in Alberta. #abpoli #ableg #transgender #2SLGBTQ edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

The Fraser Institute published a study on the fiscal cost of Canada’s low-carbon economy -- one that (shocker!) found lots of money spent on relatively few jobs. I fact checked it for them. It didn't go well. maxfawcett.substack.com/p/lies-damn-...

The Alberta President of the Canadian Bar Association has entered the chat… Calling out not only the preemptive use of the notwithstanding clause but also the limited debate as threats to the rule of law. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Lia Smith was a trans athlete and advocate who died last week by suicide. @alyssaur.bsky.social brings us this piece in her memory.

#ATAStrike “gone on long enough” says Smith/ #UCP Did UCP return to bargaining? No. Smith wiped out human & bargaining rights. She came for #albertateachers. She’ll come for you too. Wherever / whomever you are. Human rights don’t survive #UCP / MAGA political agenda. #ableg #abpoli

In other news… Man who helped release face eating leopards onto the political landscape is shocked that someone has sent the leopards back to his front door… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Justin Ling, a Canadian, has this exactly right.

You've been patient down in Ward 14, and now we've got the survey deets for your last-minute Calgary election studying. Have a look! #yyc #calgary #yycvote buff.ly/Z8bzcHF

Don't forget trans and non-binary folks! #ProtectTransFutures #TransKidsBelongInAB #ABpoli youtu.be/t9V21RMymjQ?...

In December of 2022, the Govt of Canada offered 96,000 bottles of Australian Tylenol (the real brand) to Alberta. It wasn’t AHS that refused. It was the govt, saying that wouldn’t be enough. How many bottles were actually used in hospitals? 9,000. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

To treat every birth on Canadian soil as a potential fraud is to weaponize paranoia against the innocent. Conservatives are beginning to frame almost every single social issue as a direct result of mass immigration. Oklahoma Garner Has It Wrong. #cdnpoli provincialtimes.ca/adams-why-mi...

When asked about the UCP's statement on the last offer by the ATA which said teachers need to expect a deal that is "rooted in reality"... ATA President Jason Schilling held very little back in his response. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #abed

She claims not to be a separatist, but every time this dumbass premier does something, it's clearly designed to give the separatists oxygen. #abpoli #ableg #FireTheUCP calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

A classroom could be made of any or many of the below. They are ALL worth a great PUBLIC education! #CdnEd #AbEd #AbLeg #AbPoli

#abpoli #cdnpoli

If you haven't read this yet, read it. Understand that this year's municipal elections are an existential fight - figure out who the UCP's allies are and vote against them. Democracy matters. #abpoli #ableg #alberta #yyccc #yyc #abed thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

Just what "problem" are the conservatives purporting to solve here? If they have a problem with immigration, fine - let's have that conversation. This looks like a solution looking for a problem to solve. #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Can someone explain exactly what ”problem” Ms. Garner thinks she is trying to solve? Because I’m not seeing “The Problem” here. #cdnpoli www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

A man gets a blowjob from a trans woman and his friends make fun of him so he goes to the police to claim she lied about being a woman. She was convicted of sexual assault and sentenced to nearly 2 years in prison because of a man's shame. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Prediction: Alberta will shove through back to work legislation shortly after the legislature resumes sitting on October 23. Second prediction: It will declare that it is invoking S33 Third prediction: the back to work legislation will impose a "settlement". #abpoli #ableg

If the Premiers were so certain of their position they would welcome Court , vs being petulant children saying if I can't win I'm taking my ball and leaving #Cdnpoli

I see the premiers are reaching the “Find Out” phase after all their fuckery around using S33 to attack your Charter Rights. www.cbc.ca/news/politic... #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg #onpoli

Eby - BC is leading 🇨🇦 with major opportunities to deliver prosperity to all of Canada. We have billions worth of private sector & First Nations led projects, that are ready to go and will create thousands of jobs. Alberta’s fictional bitumen pipeline achieves none of these things. #cdnpoli

My colleague @drkristopherwells.bsky.social rose in the Senate today, to support my motion, asking the government to investigate the creation of a made-in-Canada verified traveller program for domestic frequent flyers - one not vulnerable to US anti-trans bigotry #SenateofCanada #cdnpoli #NEXUS

It strikes me that Farkas and Smith have something in common: both entered elected politics to be “disruptors”. When that blew up in their face, they went on a redemption tour - Farkas with a “long hike”, Smith by becoming a columnist for The Herald. #yyccc #yyc #abpoli

accurate

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

This was the first test that had many trans people worried the Greens would fold. That they didn't is an excellent sign and a rare show of actual support for trans people from a political party that isn't just empty words. More of this @zackpolanski.bsky.social ❤️

If Congress shuts down and stops working, how will we be able to tell?

www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/09/gop-... ... and trans people are the problem? GFY, mate.

Philanthropy is a fig leaf for the very wealthy to justify their hoarding of wealth. Were they to pay their fair share in taxes, the public wouldn’t look to them to provide needed services. Every time you see some wealthy name on a building, know that it’s because they don’t have to pay taxes
