“My own experience prescribing puberty blockers has demonstrated enormous psycho-social benefits in youth who feel a quiet desperation watching their bodies change in ways they can’t control […] A puberty blocker provides them with a pause […] with no effects on fertility, and is 100% reversible.”
Opinion: As a physician, I see how gender-affirming care benefits youth
Alberta’s moves to restrict treatment are based in ignorance and misinformation

Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.

The Grey Cup is our Canadian game, and maybe never more than when Saskatchewan wins it. I’m still unsure how the rule changes will affect the league, but this was a good example of how the CFL works, and should work. www.thestar.com/sports/footb...

I have a million great Riders memories. (And one particularly terrible one).
One of my faves: introducing Green Is The Colour to the Kiwi I was dating.
He was like: 'What?! Your fight song is all about trying your best and hoping everyone has fun?'
I mean, when you put it that way....
