“My own experience prescribing puberty blockers has demonstrated enormous psycho-social benefits in youth who feel a quiet desperation watching their bodies change in ways they can’t control […] A puberty blocker provides them with a pause […] with no effects on fertility, and is 100% reversible.”
Opinion: As a physician, I see how gender-affirming care benefits youth
Alberta’s moves to restrict treatment are based in ignorance and misinformation

Freedom? Small government? No, conservatives love governments interfering in the most personal aspects of your life, so long as you belong to a group they don't like, whether it's trans people or women or people with disabilities.

The UCP government created and championed the Citizens Initiative Act as a fundamental part of our democracy - giving citizens the right to launch petitions and recall elected officials.
Now they're walking away from that commitment.

Anytime anyone claims that Smith used the Notwithstanding clause in a way that Peter Lougheed would have approved of…

Feel free to share this from his 1998 paper that makes it clear that absolutely isn’t the case.

It’s time for Danielle Smith to stop listening to the people who serve her and start listening to Albertans, the people she’s supposed to serve instead.

Not interviewed by Judge Wyant in a report that’s supposed to probe political interference into AHS
-Health Minister Lagrange
-her chief of staff
-anyone on political side other than Marshall Smith, who left premier’s office last fall
The report commissioned by the Alberta government into allegations of corruption in the health system is out and everyone should read the caveats spelled out by the retired judge at the outset to understand what's in there, and more importantly, what's not. #ableg

If Canadians, travelling domestically, want to use the "good" security line at the airport, they need a NEXUS card, even if they aren't going to the US. And they need the blessing of Donald Trump's Homeland Security apparatus to get one. I'm calling on Canada to end this absurdity. #Canada #NEXUS

The first time an Alberta government invoked the notwithstanding clause, public outrage forced a reversal in less than 24 hours. I wish to God Albertans would show the same moral fury now, when school children are outed & bullied by the government that is supposed to protect them. #ableg #abpoli
