Me, gazing wistfully in Albertan.
The Holt government in New Brunswick has revised Policy 713, the guidance on gender identity in provincial schools that the previous PC government changed last year to great controversy. Story coming later, but below is the key section from the PC 2023 version (L) and today's new version (R).

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Awesome!
The Lethbridge-West by-election has been called!

The only candidate that will focus on the issues that matter most to the people of Lethbridge - healthcare and affordability - is @robmiyashiro.bsky.social.

Lethbridge is his home. It’s your home. It deserves better.

And better is possible. 🧡
