The details of the Northern Gateway debate may have faded from our memories. (They certainly did from mine, I realized, while working on this article!)

So here's a little refresher on what the country went through the last time an MOU was signed on a pipeline from Alberta's oilsands to BC's coast:

A lot of NDP supporters voted for the @mark-carney.bsky.social Liberals to stop that pipsqueak demagogue. If this is what we get from the LPC, I’ll return the favour next election despite having voted Liberal federally my entire life.

If I were Guibeault, or other environmentally focused Liberal cabinet members, I think I'd be less worried about the pipeline (which is a longshot regardless of what's said tomorrow) than the possible gutting of other climate policies put in place under Trudeau. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Alberta’s emissions performance credits, which can be used to comply with the industrial carbon pricing system, are now trading at just C$17 per tonne.

The frozen $95 per tonne headline price is largely irrelevant.

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

Ugh, I didn't know about this one. Of course it has all my books. Not only is that money I could use, but every sale helps those of us hanging on in the midlist keep publishing at all. Love to see hundreds of downloads on series that people complain haven't continued with more books. Yeah guess why.
