Major breaking trans news: The States of Washington, Minnesota, and Oregon have sued the Trump administration to block it from enforcing a national gender affirming care ban for those under 19 years of age.

This is the second major lawsuit over Trump's trans ban EO.

Docs to come.

I'm all for more food processing happening in Canada so that we have more Canadian options and are less reliant on the US.

But those processing facilities can't be put on farmland. Otherwise we get this bull shittery paving over Class 2 land.

As long-term forest planning work is being done with First Nations, temporary old-growth deferrals are a key tool in the fight to protect BC’s globally rare old-growth forests. I commend the NDP’s announcement of the Fairy Creek deferral extension and hope to see more good news.
