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.

Where’s an update from the #RCMP on the Greenbelt scandal, I think the people of Ontario deserve an update especially with #StripperGate unravelling as well?!?!
Like a lot of Ontarians, I'm fed up with Doug Ford's corruption. I'm not going to let him or his government keep getting away with it.

1/ In Canada, we believe that everyone should feel safe and supported at work for being their authentic selves; however, a staggering 72% of trans and nonbinary people have reported experiencing workplace discrimination in Egale Canada's Working for Change National Survey.

[Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy] said, “Six thousand more places you can buy beer, wine, ready-to-drink. Convenience stores tell us their revenues are up.”

So, if I understand all this correctly, taxpayers paid $225M to get White Claws at the Circle K at 2 AM?

This Trans Day of Remembrance, my heart hurts thinking of all the people we couldn't carry through to the other side of this moment in history.

Amidst all the fighting we've done for our community, amidst the unshakeable belief that we will win in the end, grief still takes hold.

This is the Canadian Armed Forces.
We/they care about what is really important.
And they are hiring.
They also all got pay raises.
Not happy or being discriminated against in your current job or own Forces?
Maybe have a look.

“What’s disturbing about the scandal though, is how blatant it is. Political appointees are handing out hundreds of millions of dollars from a public slush fund to organizations that are either close to the government or that hire the right political insiders.”

It suggests Ford has established a system where public money is being handed out not based on need or merit but on who you know or who you pay

In honor of Larry Summers, I asked the female members of my college class (1987) to say if they had any experiences with sexual harassment by teachers/professors, back when this was tolerated as, I dunno, the cost of attending college, and OH MY GOD.

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the trans people lost to violence in the U.S. this year.

Widespread poverty, homelessness, and discrimination makes trans people 4x more likely to experience violence than the average person.

We shouldn’t have to live in fear to be who we are.

It’s a reminder that 2SLGBTQI+ communities still face discrimination. Everyone deserves to feel safe and be themselves.

RFK Jr had committed to Bill Cassidy, as a condition to win his vote, that he would keep website language.

Study finds that women’s names filled just 23% of author slots in 900 retracted articles published in medical journals (2008 - 2017). One possible explanation: women are more detail oriented & know they will be subject to scrutiny; thus are more careful.

Women seem to retract fewer papers than men — but why?
In an analysis of nearly 900 retracted medical research studies, the number of female authors is disproportionately low.
