My body clearly hates me and I am a bit cranky.
Nothing I have is curable, so don't pester me with "Cures".

Rural Landowners Break the Silence on Major Alberta Oil Company’s Business Practices
“We have terrible one-sided dealings with energy companies but if they decide to drill on our land we have no real way of keeping them out,” one farmer said.

Everything else aside, the first test for whether anyone is "pro-life" is to see what personal effort they're putting in to protect others from unnecessary infections like COVID.
If they're only "pro life" when it's about what other people should be forced to do, it's just extremist virtue-signals.

It’s a simple message. Treat everyone with basic dignity and respect, not hate or harm.

Alaberta Smith is claiming:

•Courts “overstep” when they disagree with her.
•The notwithstanding clause is her tool to override “incorrect” court decisions.
•SHE gets to decide what is “correct,” not constitutional law.

Welcome to Alberta where complete wing nuts are now free to spew dangerous harmful lies and pretend it's a sound professional opinion. And why not our Premier Danielle Smith does it on a daily basis and made a career of it on her radio show. We don't need American style free speech!

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I hope Albertans will remember that trans kids and teens are living breathing humans who just want to be themselves, without fear of hate and discrimination. Demonizing kids merely to score political points in some weird culture war is craven and cruel.

Since we in Alberta are hearing the phrase “elective surgery” bandied about so freely today, it doesn’t mean a nice to have surgery it means a surgery that can be scheduled. So say you have uterine cancer and you are not in the ER dying. Your surgery to remove your uterus is elective, scheduled

The narrative that we are being sold that our children's safety is somehow threatened by trans people participating in all aspects of public life as their authentic selves is the exact same bullshit that was peddled about queer folks 30 years ago. It was a lie then and it's a lie now.
