Danielle Smith Goes Nuclear on Trans Rights | The Tyee Alberta’s premier is overriding Charter protections. Here’s a fact check on her claims.

@melwoods.me: We must not overcomplicate what’s going on here.

This is the Alberta government saying the rights of trans kids to receive life-saving health care, go by their own pronouns at school or play on sport teams don’t matter as much as the Smith government’s right to dictate their lives.

This year there are a record 16 Trans Day of Remembrance events in the lower mainland of BC, including events in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Delta, Mission and Langley.
