Basically, it’s just about my dog, plus a little about walks/nature (because dog), art, the books I listen to, and mental health (my field).

Finally set up a brand new TV, just in time for Stranger Things season 5!

In reality, the previous TV there finally kicked the bucket on the weekend after 17 yrs. RIP, it had a good run! And I’m not starting watching until tomorrow actually, when my daughter gets home from camp!

More interfering with professions’ judgements on best practice for the well-being of others, simply because they want to. Unbelievable and scary for everyone.

If the UCP is confident on the medical merits of its transgender bill, then we should hear from the CMOH on this ASAP to validate the urgency of using the notwithstanding clause, it's why you have a top doctor after all.

“When a government grants itself license to override physician judgment and patient consent, who - at any stage of life — will be next?”

The UCP touts itself as a small, freedom-loving government.

Objectively, using the notwithstanding clause goes against both of those notions.

Hi Bluesky 👋

Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP

It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history

I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵
