Incredible, heartbreaking interviews by @reportrix.bsky.social. Quote: "“You show your love really weird," the girl says of [Premier] Smith." 💔 www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/sports/well-... The kids, they know what's going down. They're fighting for their actual lives. No bluster. No exaggeration.

When it comes to the Notwithstanding Clause, premiers opposed to the federal government’s factum are showing their true colours, writes @journodale.bsky.social

Absolutely heartbreaking piece. Full episode will be released tonight at 8 p.m. ET on CBC. How many more Canadian children will be taken from us before we start forcing online platforms to stop sextorters from preying on our kids? www.cbc.ca/news/marketp...

NEW: “Remigration” and “mass deportations” is the new rallying cry of white nationalists. Experts say it’s a call for ethnic cleansing. A new Canadian group is trying to "normalize" the concept and get the Conservative Party of Canada to talk more about immigration. www.antihate.ca/remigration_...

For everyone in public sector collective bargaining right now in BC. 👇

Finally I'll just say that most of the "solutions" to online harm to kids are offline. If all queer kids were accepted and loved, less of them would get groomed, exploited, and hurt online. If all kids had access to a safe place to sleep at night and a mental health councilor in their school...

We have to protect the children by suspending their constitutional rights

SCOOP: The BC government has quietly cut a $20 million fund that schools used to waive fees for vulnerable children, pay for school supplies. Last year, an NDP MLA called the fund 'transformative' and the education minister said parents could 'count on the program's help' thetyee.ca/News/2025/08...

1/ NEW: Researchers at Dalhousie University have found large numbers of teachers dealing with explicit misogyny and male supremacist ideology - such as the influence of Andrew Tate - in schools. 🧵 www.antihate.ca/new_report_a...

ICYMI: I broke down what Alberta's new school library standards actually include (a ban on "sexually explicit content"! But the bible is excluded!) and what comes next xtramagazine.com/video/albert...

In addition to BCgov's initial (inadequate) salary offer, the other thing to watch is whether employers are willing to meaningfully: - address staffing shortages, recruitment, retention & workplace safety - improve working conditions & staffing levels, rather than eroding. @isaacphannay.bsky.social

Judge blocks Alberta's ban on gender-affirming health care for youth, says it would risks "irreparable harm" and psychological integrity to trans and gender-diverse youth. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"Even though that funding is going up, it’s not filling all of the needs ... to make sure students get the services they require" cheknews.ca/our-future-d... @bctf.bsky.social

Many students today are really struggling with anxiety and other mental health challenges. They need more support from #bcpoli. Children and youth deserve access to school counsellors when they need it and where they're at - which is at their own #bced school. youtu.be/F1IZzcCN8RQ?...

New from me, a collab between @xtramagazine.com and @thewalrus.ca diving into how Conservatives keep trying to make trans people a wedge issue. ✨

This a great decision from the Superior Court of Justice in Ontario. Too often, 2SLGBTQI individuals, or their allies are falsely labeled as "groomers" who put children at risk for abuse. I hope this decision helps others on the receiving end of similar defamatory and hateful statements.

i wish that more people had listened and paid attention when trans people started facing attacks years ago. i wish you all had seen it as a threat to you, too.
