Smith Bulldozes Canadian Constitution Over Trans Kid Bills

No evidence. None.

@ABDanielleSmith has not produced one shred of evidence to prove that trans children are being harmed.

In fact, the data says the opposite.

IDEA: A Hallmark Christmas movie about an Alberta premier who refuses to be photographed with Santa unless he's seated, titled 'Notwithstanding Claus'.

So much snow!!

This is what's at stake.

The UCP is not only dodging its responsibility to explain how Bill 9 is in any way proportionate or justifiable in a free and democratic society.

They are putting children at far greater risk of suicide.

There was never any point to having reference letters. That's why we've all started using AI to do this nonesense task.

References should only be used for short-listed candidates for important positions/awards, and ideally, be done via a call to get the most honest opinion possible.

Fully agree

Perks of working at a children’s hospital: the pet therapy team just came around with puppies! 🐶

A photo of a large, historic stone building with a domed tower and columns, topped with a Canadian flag. The structure is surrounded by high walls and a watchtower, with a sign on the wall reading "Guides." The scene is set on a cold day with snow on the ground and a gray sky, and a road runs in front of the building.

The Kingston Penitentiary has a history that dates back almost 200 years.
Many individuals went to that prison and never left. Some are reported to still haunt the halls and cells where they spent their last moments.
This is the spooky story.

ANALYSIS | Alberta stopped tracking class sizes. Then it changed its funding formula. Now, it's a teachers' strike issue | CBC News Get a rough idea of how much Alberta’s teaching staff has grown compared to how much student enrolment has grown since the funding formula for school boards was changed.

The Alberta government stopped tracking class sizes, and then the province's population growth really took off. @robsonfletcher.com set out to find out how the numbers of teachers compare to that growth, with the limited info available

Class size/composition is a strike issue.

From one-on-one help to manageable class sizes, public education needs real investments — not more delays. Teachers are pushing for change. #KidsCantWaitAB #StopTheExcuses

Today is World Teachers’ Day.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

In Canada, proposed cuts of 15% across the federal government would have a dramatic effect on already globally decimated research & science.
