“Alberta’s premier leads a party whose most active members almost unanimously want the province to refuse to house trans women in women’s prisons, and require schools to tell parents if their children want to secretly change their pronouns, as New Brunswick and Saskatchewan have controversially done.
United Conservative Party members also voted unanimously at their convention to eradicate diversity and inclusion offices at universities and colleges, ban safe drug consumption sites, and prohibit electronic vote tabulators — on suspicion that election tampering may happen (or already has).”
The Alberta UCP is fighting back against the activist Left in our institutions. Let’s hope that these policy directions are not diluted once they hit cabinet. 12:58 in the video where Smith defends and advocates for parental rights.

Interesting how she is also speaking about high-speed rail. Canada’s liberals ignore the needs of western Canada’s transportation. There is no rail. There is no longer even a bus. In order to get from Winnipeg to Regina, or Regina to Calgary, you must fly or drive. A gas tax is not going to change that situation.

The other proposals will chill you to the bone mostly. The recognition that a man is not a woman was the only logic displayed.

The world burns. Species extinction by the hour. Gazans and Israelis are being slaughtered. Democracy is crumbling and corporate rule is here.
And yet…
You obsess about the 0.01 percent of people who feel imprisoned in their bodies, a high percentage of whom will commit suicide because of the kind of intolerance you are addicted to.
I am a feminist.
But, I just don’t see it.
You’re under the spell of a deep sickness where you see allies (and link and promote) in the very people who are actively trying to make Maggie’s horrific Gilead a reality.
Please remove yourself from progressive bloggers.
Progress is not 1632.
BTW: women are becoming men too, but I’m not staying awake at night in a feverish sweat at the image of Ellen Page.
Pull yourself out of this gutter! Love yourself.
Oh, and if you want to respond, have the ovaries to respond in public please.

I get it, but I can’t throw in the Left basket of crazy anymore. If parties on the right can recognize the basic reality of human biology – that is at least a starting point. I can argue with people who deal in the world of fact.

This .01 percent is attempting to reorder reality and society around their delusions of gender. They should seek mental help for their suicidal ideation, and I fully endorse mental health supports for vulnerable people. What vulnerable people do not get to do is blackmail the rest of society to come over to their way of thinking, especially when that way of thinking is NOT congruent with reality.
Bullshit. But prove me wrong – Define the term woman.
The Iron Law of Woke Projection never misses. The only sickness present is the gender ideology that posits that men – because gender feelings – can become women. Women are being erased in Canadian society and their rights, boundaries, and safety are being jeopardized. This poor small “oppressed” group has gotten males into female prison, rape crisis centres, and female sports. It is unconscionable that a society that values women and basic human rights would allow this to happen. So no, I won’t ever be participating the “inclusive” faux-feminism that seeks to erase women and their rights in society.
No. People being exposed to information that they don’t like and having to react to it is part of the system that makes free societies work. Censorship – what you are calling for – is used to reinforce totalitarian ideologies and is unacceptable in a free democratic society. So no Brian not gonna happen.
Welcome back to reality Brian. Sex is a binary and immutable in our species. Ellen page remains just as female now as the day she was born.
Fighting for female rights has never been a popular vocation. It usually incurs the wrath and ire of men who see it as an infringement on their rights. Males do not get to become female because they say so. I fight the current (gender ideology) batch of misogyny with the same fervour as I’ve tackled other feminist issues in the past. That you detest it means I’m moving *precisely* in the right direction.
Lol. Bruh. I’ve been in this fight since 2015 when this pomo-queer bullshit was first coming down the pike. I’ve argued against almost all of the bullshite arguments the regressive Left has to offer. So if you have an actual argument and not facile emotional manipulation/name calling – bring it on.

I agree. I can’t see where my post advocated throwing in with any of them. This proposal can be relegated to the “Even a blind squirrel sometimes gets a nut” category. You do have to accept a large amount of very retarded thinking to get this single perk and it is only a proposal , no more than a Christmas wish.
I have argued with these people ( AB cons) for 60 years and facts are not welcome where minds have been made up for years. They deal in gods truth, you are bringing the sweet lies of satan to test them.
