Thank you @governorwalz.mn.gov
Walz: "For him to mock them and to say this about Canada, that they're nasty people. The thing I think that has to start to set in and I would argue that happened in Wisconsin is that there's buyer's remorse. Nobody signed up to insult the Canadians and drive up potash prices."

"There will be no normalization of relations with Russia when the war is over. That will not happen. That will take decades because there is a total lack of confidence…even if the war comes to a conclusion, the Russian threat is still there."

At the NATO meeting a loud US republican saw my CDN flag pin on my lapel and reached for it saying, "Hey Canada."
I stopped him.
"Don't touch the Canadian flag."
"Just joking," he said.
"You'll die before you touch our flag," I said, "not joking."
He scrambled out of there.

Not saying this out of anger, but as a fact: when high-profile actors like John Lithgow take roles in the Harry Potter series, they’re saying their fame matters more to them than trans people—right at the moment when we need real allies willing to risk themselves alongside us more then ever.

If it’s true, the UCP used over half a BILLION of your tax dollars to pay their friends and fired people to cover it up.
The same friends paid for the UCP's luxury skybox hockey tickets and made money off Turkish "Tylenol."

A federal court has ruled that Florida can detransition inmates.
Some trans inmates are having estrogen pulled, hair shorn, and put through state-run conversion therapy.
This is the cruelty of abandoning incarcerated trans people.

Federal Court Rules In Favor of Forcibly Detransitioning Transgender Inmates In Florida
Incarcerated transgender people were a major topic of debate in the 2024 elections. Now, a judge ruling on a Florida policy shows how cruel abandoning trans people in prison can be.

Did you know that Queensland Australia conducted a systematic review of gender affirming care for trans youth and found it safe and effective? The NYT and other media did not cover it because it contradicted their narrative. It's called selective bias.

“This is killing me. Please let me leave”: Trans and non-binary youth and sexual health education in Alberta | The Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality
This article highlights sexual health education findings from a larger qualitative research study that examines the lived experiences of transgender and non-binary (TNB) youth (aged 14–25) in Alberta. This study contributes to a growing field focusing on the unique experiences of TNB students in Canada by exploring the gaps and successes in sexual health education. Given that there is no federally mandated sexual health curriculum, and that each Canadian province and territory updates curriculum and teaches sexual health differently, this study aims to provide insights into the experiences of TNB youth and the sexual health education they have received in their formal educational environments. The research findings highlight two major themes and two sub-themes: (1) All participants found sexual health education in schools to be inadequate in some way. (2) If you want something done right, do it yourself. Sub-themes included; (2a) the community or internet media are key sources of relevant sexual health information, and (2b) youth have limited access to the sexual orientation and gender identity–specific sexual health information they want.

For example, in this specific instance a trans woman was treated as a woman for the purpose of facilitating an arrest for breaching public decency laws, and then treated as a man to maximise the potential for harm to come to her while in jail.
