It won't stop at pronouns & preferred names. The next jump will be banning gender-affirming healthcare. First New Brunswick, then Saskatchewan, now Ontario. And if the CPC gets into power it will be right across the board. They're copying the US playbook. cbc.ca/news/politics/poiliev…

This is an interesting case. The Charter, while protecting your freedom of expression, doesn't mean that you're free of all of the consequences of said expression.
Your employer/accrediting body may have standards and ethical considerations that need to be upheld to practice.

Talk of “parental rights” in education is a dog whistle for anti-LGBTQ ideologies.
If parents want to know information about their child, just ask your child. If they feel safe and supported, they will tell you. It’s that simple. #cdnpoli

Absolutely shocking news! 💔💔
My heart is with his family and the entire @WWE roster and crew! #RIPBray
Just received a call from WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda who informed us of the tragic news that our WWE family member for life Windham Rotunda - also known as Bray Wyatt - unexpectedly passed earlier today. Our thoughts are with his family and we ask that everyone respect their privacy at this time.

SB QEII exit ramp 519 to Leduc - ramp closed for construction work, Aug.21 at 8pm until Oct.13. Detour signage will be posted on site. #ABRoads #yegtraffic
I get why this is an issue, but at the same time there are other ways to get the info & going to the original source website is usually the best way to do it. I have never used FB/Meta for my news, even when they allowed it. The algorithms always made it hard to find.
While news is available here on Twitter, it's different story on other social media because of Meta's ban. The prime minister said the owner of Facebook is putting profits over people and evacuees claim wildfire misinformation is causing confusion and fear. @MorganRBlack reports.

The floral emblem for every province and territory in Canada, a thread!
British Columbia: Pacific Dogwood
Growing to six to 18 metres in height, the flowers of the Pacific Dogwood bloom into white blossoms in April and May. It was adopted as the floral emblem in 1956.

To hear what occurred at Leduc City Council meeting last night is appalling. No elected officials should EVER fear for their safety, especially when talking about such things as a Pride Crosswalk.
We are better than this.

This is what the #Barrie bylaw 2004-142 section 7 amendment is replacing:
"any individual that is giving away or otherwise providing food, water, clothing or medical attention, at no charge to members of the public shall not be deemed to be in contravention of this section."

Welp. They're doing it. #Barrie City Council are set to pass a bylaw this Wednesday night that criminalizes providing survival items to unhoused people on public property, with zero public engagement. It's undemocratic and it's mean. This is not how we take care of each other.

It is #IndigenousHistoryMonth and this is the story of Shaaw Tláa (Kate Carmack) the often-forgotten person who started the Klondike Gold Rush!
Shaaw Tláa was born around 1857 near Bennett Lake. Her name means gumboot mother. In 1888, she married George Carmack.

Apparently @EdmontonOilers aren't interested in upgrading my seats to something more expensive. The relocation map still sucks!!! Nothing has changed since I shared feedback last year. All the same things still don't work. Maybe someone will take my feedback seriously someday.🙄
