Just one New Year’s wish for everyone: Be the positive change needed in the world.

I’m calling it. Canada’s greatest cultural moment in 2025 was #heatedrivalry. 🏒💫

Merry Christmas from Canada! 🇨🇦

Over 2,000 signatures in less than 24hrs. Human rights should never be conditional on any government. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

A citizen e-petition has been launched in the House of Commons calling on the Federal Government to its disallowance power to override Alberta and Saskatchewan’s use of the notwithstanding clause to violate the human rights of trans Canadians. Sign here: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Keep fighting. Human rights matter. No government should be able to override them.

Skate Canada has been an international leader for inclusion in sport. The Alberta government and others would be wise to learn from their example not attack it. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Some holiday reading from Sport Integrity Canada. “All reasonable efforts should be made to make sport inclusive and accessible for transgender individuals.” Read the scientific literature review: sportintegrity.ca/news/literat...

Sad to see such a profound lack of ethical principles and moral courage. Leadership is in short supply when it comes to defending fundamental human rights.

“Alberta’s proposed Fairness and Safety in Sport Act is anything but fair” Using facts to counteract misinformation and political opportunism. theconversation.com/albertas-pro...

Fully agree. I hope more sporting organizations and businesses follow Skate Canada’s leadership. We all must stand up and speak out against discrimination. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

We stand in solidarity with our Jewish community. Be a source of light against hate in this world. Happy Hanukkah.

All of this. Read, share widely, commit to take action. #WeAreAlbertan

The UCP’s branding of Bill 13 as the “Jordan Peterson” law takes on a whole new meaning with this revelation. How can we possibly tolerate a second law in this man’s name?

The Regulated Professions Neutrality Act (Bill 13), if passed, will make it illegal for any regulated profession in Alberta to mandate anti-racism, cultural competence, or unconscious bias training. Contact your MLA & relevant ministers to express your displeasure with this Bill.

On International Human Rights Day, the Canadian Pride Caucus has issued a statement of concern regarding the use of the notwithstanding clause to undermine fundamental human rights. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Today, on International Human Rights Day, Albertans woke up in a province where the rights of one of our most vulnerable minorities have been overridden by a government whose only concern is its own ideological base. 1/2 nationalnewswatch.com/2025/12/10/a...

This is among the most democratically dangerous things Danielle Smith has said. She wants to remove all checks and balances on her power and projects herself as the embodiment of "the people." We have left the realm of liberal democracy in this province.

We will always find a way to support the 2SLGBTQI+ and fight against discrimination, especially when it is sanctioned by the government. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

La semaine dernière au #SenCA, le sénateur @drkristopherwells.bsky.social a pris la parole à la deuxième lecture du projet de loi S-218, Loi modifiant la Loi constitutionnelle de 1982 (disposition de dérogation). Lisez/regardez son discours ici : theprogressives.ca/fr/au-senat/...

Last week in #SenCA, Senator @drkristopherwells.bsky.social spoke at second reading of Bill S-218, An Act to amend the Constitution Act, 1982 (notwithstanding clause). Read/watch his speech here: theprogressives.ca/in-the-senat...

70 years ago today, Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat in Montgomery, Alabama.

This World AIDS Day, we have the science to erdicate this terrible virus, but we need the political will to get to zero new infections. We can and must continue to move forward.

Great to see some provinces understanding the importance of investing in 2SLGBTQI+ inclusive health care www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Bill 9 is unscientific and immoral. It does nothing to protect children. It is only designed to hurt them by denying doctor supported life saving care. Kill Bill 9, not our children.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to ask the Government Representative in the Senate a question about the Liberal Government’s platform commitment to provide funding for IVF treatment, which significantly impacts those in the 2SLGBTQI+ community who would like to have children.

New peer reviewed research confirms that gender affirmative care reduces the rate of suicide in gender diverse youth over time. These findings published in the Journal of Pediatrics are consistent with other studies. Access to timely care is critical. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Even the Churches are opposed to Bill 9. It’s a simple message. Treat everyone with basic dignity and respect, not hate or harm.

Show your support for human rights. Say NO to Bill 9.

Listen to the doctors. medicinehatnews.com/news/local-n...

Thank you to the Assembly of First Nations for standing up for the human and charter rights of 2SLGBTQQIA+ Albertans. The UCP government must immediately withdraw Bill 9 and uphold the inherent rights, teachings, and responsibilities of all first peoples.

Students protest Bill 9. Then, at least 1,000 activists, advocates and supporters rally downtown www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Today, I proclaimed Transgender Day of Remembrance in Calgary. We honour those we’ve lost, and we stand with resolve for a city where everyone can live safely and authentically. We will keep fighting for every person’s right to be who they are: openly, proudly, and without fear. #yyccc

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I hope Albertans will remember that trans kids and teens are living breathing humans who just want to be themselves, without fear of hate and discrimination. Demonizing kids merely to score political points in some weird culture war is craven and cruel.

The most tone deaf and hypocritical statement you wouldn’t believe until you actually saw it. You cannot recognize a day of mourning when your government’s anti-trans discriminatory legislation is causing the incredible harm. The duplicitous double speak is so Orwellian.

Celebrating National Child Day and thinking about the rights of 2SLGBTQ+ children that are being taken away by the Alberta Government without consultation or consent.

Honoured to join the Global Equality Caucus, which is focused on addressing discrimination against LGBTQ+ people around the world. equalitycaucus.org/news/article...

Want to know what trans youth really want and need? Read our report, which is the most comprehensive research conducted in Alberta. Making legislative changes without actually consulting with the young people most impacted in immoral & unethical. www.macewan.ca/c/documents/...

We know the play book. They are coming for reproductive rights next.

“Albertans rely on the protections guaranteed by the Alberta Human Rights Act and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Suspending those rights, particularly for vulnerable groups, places the freedoms of all Canadians at serious risk.”

The Alberta Government is normalizing the use of the notwithstanding clause in an attempt to ignore the rule of law. Use your voice. Protect the Charter. Stand up for human rights. Democracy depends on it.

It was an honour to join Mayor Scott Olivieri, MP Michael Cooper, and MLA Nathin IP and other guests and dignitaries in St. Albert to remember and recognize all who have and continue to serve our country. #lestweforget

Today, we remember and honour all those who serve and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the defence of and love for our country. Lest we forget. 🇨🇦
