Freedom of speech does not mean freedom to hate. Hate speech is never free and should always be held to the highest consequences. Don’t minimize. Educate. Hate has no place in Alberta or Canada.

Just in time for Pride Season! Go to your local post office and ask for the new Places of Pride stamp collection! 🌈🇨🇦

Incredibly tone deaf. Maybe @TimHortons should instead come out with a Pride Timbit to celebrate our real Canadian values. I stand ready to help with the product launch! 🌈🍩 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Hate will never win over love. An attack on Pride is an attack on our inclusive democracy. We will continue to dance and celebrate love and inclusion in memory and defiance.

Albertans are clearly elbows up rather than bottoms up when it comes to American booze!

Alberta hasn't banned US alcohol imports. People here aren't buying it anyways. The debate over whether provincial governments should be banning it misses the actual point, which is that Canadians don't want to buy it in the first place. #cdnpoli

This is a great read, and it's also a lesson. This is what everyone could be doing, at every level. This is the possibility open to every one of us, while every single cry of "we had no choice" was and is a cowardly lie.

In February, USA Rugby banned trans women from all levels of one of the world’s most inclusive sports. What happened next was telling. Across the country, teams refused to comply. The story of the Baltimore Ferals, who are pushing back: www.thebanner.com/sports/rugby...

21 years ago today, Canada became the 4th country in the world, and 1st outside of Europe, to legalize same-sex marriage. The sky didn’t fall. Hell didn’t break loose. Only Canada’s capacity for love and acceptance increased. Now over 30+ countries have followed Canada’s lead.

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦 Diversity, inclusion and unity are what make our country great.

Following Canada’s lead. An important step forward ending these abusive and fraudulent practices. “Conversion therapy” is a form of torture and should be banned every where. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Picard is right again. There was no consensus and the final report and recommendation have no credibility.

Politicians can’t seem to make a clear decision on MAID, so leave it to the Supreme Court. The committee report on MAID for mental disorders is a dog’s breakfast, and the court will weigh in eventually, by @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti... via @theglobeandmail.com

Thank you for your service and the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. To protect and serve is the highest calling. 💔

Senator Kristopher Wells, co-chair of the Canadian Pride Caucus, recently delivered a statement in #SenCA to highlight the start of Pride season, which is both a celebration and also a call to action. Read/watch what he said here: theprogressives.ca/in-the-senat... @drkristopherwells.bsky.social

Medical Assistance in Dying is about choice and trust. It is ultimately a celebration of life for many who make that fundamental decision. It is about agency, autonomy, and compassion, which is why the vast majority of Canadians fully support it. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Opinion: Ten years of MAID, and suffering averted, is cause for celebration

It won’t become a slippery slope, but remain what it is now - a dignified ritual and ceremony
