The exception is Alberta, Canada. Why?
Because Danielle Smith is an O&G lobbyist with a side hustle as premier.

"Some 86 percent were girls, typically marrying men an average of four years older than themselves. Most of the minors were 16 or 17 years old, but some were as young as 10."

"How frequent are child marriages? The best evidence comes from a nonprofit called Unchained at Last, which obtained marriage license data from around the country and found that between 2000 and 2021, more than 314,000 people under the age of 18 were married in the United States."

Opinion | Why Do We Allow Child Marriage in America?

"in America the practice remains legal in 34 states. Even as the U.S. government advises other countries to end a cruel practice, at home we preserve what amounts to legally sanctioned statutory rape."

Boy with cancer’s chemo appointment cancelled amid Stollery space shortage | Globalnews.ca An Edmonton mom said the Stollery Children's Hospital urgently needs to grow after a shortage of beds meant her son Ben was turned away from his scheduled chemotherapy treatment.

Dear Alberta,
We have a serious problem with this government, who claimed it’d fix health care in 90 days. Seems pretty clear to me they meant “start dismantling it in 90 days,” because it has only gotten worse. And now stories like this are coming out. #ABleg globalnews.ca/news/1150372...

Hey #DanielleSmithIsUnfitToLead look at that, if Alberta is so wonderful and prosperous with all that O&G money where are our free Flu and Covid shots.

Alberta’s Big Payouts to Spurned Australian Coal Miners | The Tyee Two firms that invested far less are getting $238 million. Taxpayers face more such hits.

11/11 Critics question if a negligent administration awarded public dollars to foreign nationals due to its own incompetence and refusal to use Alberta laws.

Now, taxpayers must wait to see what settlements are awarded to the remaining firms.

Conservative messaging is often the canary in the coal mine. Rather than drive sentiment (they do), they foresee it, and "skate to where the puck is going."

If the Liberals - and NDP! - don't take generational justice seriously, this cruel man will get a majority.

Bats are at risk in Canada, because wind turbines keep killing them | CBC Radio Bats don’t exactly have a glowing public image. After all, they’re often associated with blood-sucking vampires, gloomy caves and all things spooky. But migratory bats in Canada are in desperate need ...

One of our local breweries is co-owned by a bat researcher. One day she told me about the ongoing die-off of bats in North America and I’m convinced it is a top ten problem. I am glad to see solutions to some of the issues she highlighted and hope they are implemented www.cbc.ca/radio/whaton...

Trump’s Test Threat Could Fuel Nuclear Tensions With China

Braid: An appalling, unjust law drives Alberta teachers back to work Alberta teachers are going back to work, but the law that drives them lingers as a dangerous attack on rights, writes columnist Don Braid.

Let’s this sink in. Bill 2 overrides:

• The Labour Relations Code;
• The Public Education Collective Bargaining Act;
• The Alberta Bill of Rights;
• The Alberta Human Rights Act;
• The Education Act.

All without vigorous debate or consultation with Albertans.

Sigh. Obviously this was not in Alberta.

Just got my annual flu (and Covid) shot. The process was fast, free, easy, and came with the added bonus that it’s now less likely I’ll get sick or make someone else sick, or worse.
